Today is March 10th, which some may refer to as 3/10, 10/3, or even MAR10 day. Due to how similar it sounds to the word “Mario”, March 10th has become known as Mario Day. It is something even Nintendo acknowledges. And acknowledge it they did, as we received several Mario announcements this fine Sunday morning.
You can watch the video below:

There has also been a plethora of other Mario related news throughout the past week. Yesterday saw an announcement of three new Lego Mario sets, with a teaser of Lego Mario Kart appearing at the end.
