This year’s MAR10 Day is right around the corner, and Nintendo is celebrating the beloved video game character with a full portfolio of partnerships and events on March 10.
Nintendo is offering Mario fans a chance to compete in the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe tournament on March 10 from 12-6 p.m. PT. The top 310 players will receive 1,000 My Nintendo Gold Points each. The company is also offering several deals on its games that include Mario, as well as the chance to earn Platinum Points by playing Super Mario World on Nintendo Switch Online.
From Mario’s start in the 1981 arcade classic Donkey Kong to the newest iteration of Nintendo Switch games, the princess-rescuing plumber has seen a large collection of video games, multiple TV series, and even a recent movie.
