Happy Mario Day, everyone!
Why is March 10 Mario Day? Well, it's a bit of a pun. When March 10th is written as "Mar10", it looks like "Mario", hence March 10 being Mario Day.
The day was an unofficial day of celebration for fans of the Super Mario franchise for years. In 2016, Nintendo officially recognized Mario Day, by creating special events around the day every year. Usually, these events revolved around sales of Mario games.
Last year's Mario Day was a very special one as it was also the 35th Anniversary of the Super Mario series, with the original Super Mario Bros. game being released in 1985. That event triggered a massive celebration that will conclude next month. As such, this year's Mario Day is also part of that celebration.
So fire up the Nintendo handheld of your choice, and enjoy a Mario game today! I hope your Mario Day was a good one!
