Hold onto your Toads, Mario fans, My Nintendo Store has some fantastic savings across Mario-themed LEGO sets, soft toys, wireless controllers and more to celebrate MAR10 Day.
If you asked the average person what special occasion is happening this Sunday, they’d probably answer that it’s Mother’s Day. However, as the RadioTimes.com Technology team’s minds are filled with red shells, green shells, blue shells and Mario’s transformation into a bipedal elephant in a hat after playing Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and Super Mario Bros Wonder, we know that something — arguably — even more exciting is on the horizon: MAR10 Day.
MAR10 Day is taking place this Sunday 10th March (Mar-10), and to get you into the racing spirit, My Nintendo Store is offering 30% off selected Mario and Friends merchandise, including the coveted LEGO Super Mario The Mighty Bowser. But, hurry! These offers are only available until Sunday 7th April. Before we get cracking with the deals, we’re sure you’re eager to know just how MAR10 Day came about.
The annual celebration of the Super Mario franchise came into fruition in 2015, when Nintendo began to officially embrace the holiday by promoting Super Mario Games and holding themed events. However, the celebration began colloquially by fans online as they noticed that the date 10th March (or Mar-10) looks like the name ‘Mario’ — you can’t accuse us of being tardy!
Some ways to celebrate MAR10 Day include throwing a Super Mario-themed party or playing the Mario games such as Bowser’s Fury or Super Mario Odyssey, whether that’s by yourself or with friends. You can find out more about this fun holiday on the Mario Wiki page.
Let’s check out the deals.
