Super Mario Bros. has touched many lives and remains a classic video game for a reason. From Mario and Luigi’s adventures to villains like Bowser, even nongamers probably know the lore of Nintendo’s most beloved games. To celebrate the contributions of Mario and crew, MAR10 Day has been declared an unofficial — albeit important — gamer holiday. It’s celebrated on March 10, but you can start today. Nintendo has announced discounts, preorder deals and retail partnerships to help you honor Mario.
