It’s-a Mario Day! March 10th — a.k.a. annual MAR10 Day — is part of Nintendo’s month-long celebration of the plucky plumber, who jumps onto the big screen in Illumination’s The Super Mario Bros. Movie on April 5th. During a Nintendo Direct presentation Thursday in the U.S. and Friday in other territories, the company dropped the final trailer for the new animated movie and put tickets on sale. MAR10 Day 2023 also gives fans a chance to save with two Mario games sales for Nintendo Switch, collect a free Mario Bros. movie poster and other Mario-themed items, and race into new tracks with the Mario Kart Wave 4 DLC.
