But why do we celebrate the super duper plumber on March 10th? Well, strap in, and let's take a look at why!

Why March 10th is Mario Day

Mario, a character that needs no introduction, is The very face of Nintendo and has been around for over 40 years. No matter how old you are, you've probably played a Mario video game (Mario Party FTW)! But why name a whole day after him?

Well, the answer is quite simple... when you write March 10th out in short form it's written Mar 10... which looks an awful lot like Mario doesn't it? And that's why fans around the world have dubbed March 10th as Mario Day

How Can You Celebrate Mario Day?

Celebrating Mario Day is as easy as it is fun! here are a few different ways you can celebrate today (with or without your friends!).

Play Mario Games

If you have a Nintendo console, like a Switch or Wii (or dare we say... an original Nintendo?) you have an endless catalog of games to get in on!

Wear Mario Gear

You can also get in the spirit of the day by wearing something Mario-related! You could grab a T-shirt with the lovable Plumber's face, or if you're into cosplay you could always try to recreate his look!

Mario-themed Snacks

Why not make your own Mario snacks at home? You can bake some cookies shaped like mushrooms, or make a red and green fruit salad to represent Mario and his brother Luigi. It’s a tasty way to celebrate!

Watch Mario Shows and Movies

There are a bunch of Mario cartoons and movies you can watch. The Super Mario Bros. Movie from 2023 is a solid option! But if you're like me and love more of a throwback, you could check out the original movie from 1993 (it's pretty bad... but in a lovable way)

Share Mario Memories

It's a pretty big day for gamers, so there will be no shortage of social media posts celebrating Mario Day. You can share your memories and stories on social media using the hashtag #MarioDay and meet new friends!

Try a New Mario Game

If you've never played a Mario game (who hasn't though) Mario Day is the perfect chance! with tons of different ones out there, you are sure to find one that matches your taste!
