We celebrate Mario Day on March 10 each year, because March 10, written as “Mar10”, looks like Mario’s name.
The mustached Mario character was initially released by Nintendo in 1985, although he first appeared in Donkey Kong in 1981. Since then, Mario has appeared in around 200 different games, and the Mario games have claimed the title of the best selling video game series in history.
Mario fans have been celebrating this date for decades, Nintendo jumped on in 2016 when they began promoting new and old games, offering special deals and discounts, and started hosting Mario-themed events, as well as promoting sales on some of their games.
