Today is Mario Day, apparently. March 10, Mar10 - geddit! After cracking its collective knuckles and preparing to amuse us all, Nintendo is promoting today as Mario Day across its social networks. It is an excuse for fans to tweet nice things about the famous mascot, however, so that's fine by us.
If you're in North America, this day also brings an online sweepstakes to win a copy of Mario Party 10.
That aside, some tweets using the #MarioDay hashtag are quirky...
Feature freaky mascots...
Weird corporate messages...
And finally rubbish and dull corporate messages...
Happy Mario Day everyone, and stay tuned for our feature today on the Metroid series! Wait, that can't be right...

Huh...didn't know that nintendo did this. I would have worn something to mark the occasion... at least my shirt is red today.
Maybe next year I will remember.
Poor Luigi is always being left out...
@sinalefa he had a whole year devoted to him 2 years ago
MAR10. I heard this joke a few years ago in Nintendo Power.
@Knuckles Yep, this joke is old, I think most of humanity has heard it before.
For Mario Day I'm going to don some overalls and a red hat, and dance around my Wii U with 3D World inside it saying "ALL HAIL MARIO!" I will then break out into dance and do "The Mario".
Yaay! Really looking forward to the Metroid feature!
Well.....happy Mario day every Mario fan out there!
Anyone remember Teletext? It's not gone that long... anyway I first heard about Mar10 Day on there, Channel4, Digitizer! March 10th was displayed on screen as Mar10, I thought that's where this started! I'm all for it, smile, Happy Mario Day everyone!
Lol MAR10...
I'll celebrate "Mario Day" when Nintendo can actually make a decent Mario game
That mario with lauralynn kinda looks weird xD either way happy mario day everyone
They should do a Year of Mario, make a game called Super Luigi 3D World and have tons of Hidden Marios in the game. lol
This is why I love Nintendo!
Come on, I ordered a Mario t shirt and it hasn't arrived. Today was the perfect day to wear it
Man even Chris Pirillo has gotten old.
FYI - Saturday is pi day 3.14.15
And Mothers Day is 5-10-15 which is probably only interesting to those old enough to remember Schoolhouse Rock, this one was always one of my favorites. Pirillo probably remembers.

My fondest Mario memory is going to Kmart to get SMB3 for getting good grades in school. Such a special and magical game that will always have a special place in my heart.
Wasn't expecting much to come out of this, but that Krave commercial was pretty fantastic
... That Mario in the 2nd photo is horribly creepy! x'D
That lady wearing a Peach-like outfit's funny though.
Too bad I only have the Luigi costume for my palicoe or I would've dressed him up in the Mario outfit for March 10.
I think this could catch on if Nintendo keeps pushing it.
So this is one time this should be cool, right:

Re: Mario Day: "Unfortunately we'll be writing about Metroid" -NL
You can't do both?
Amazon's trying for the free Mario Party 10 copy.. Lol!
This is hilarious. I never thought about it.
Reading that Amazon tweet in a robot voice, accompanied by the sounds of a dial up modem connecting.
@ZurrrrBlattTron coughSuperMario3DWorldcough
Looks like I'm going to play the original Super Mario Bros with no breaks for MAR10 day!
This is extra awesome for me, because March 10th (today) happens to be my birthday! 16 and still going strong...err, not really, but confidence is key
awesome!
@Captain_Gonru
Mario is the best thing in Nintendo.
Hmm, I wonder which is better: being remembered every day for a year like Luigi, or being remembered one day every year, like Mario?
Mario day on March 10? Mar 10, ooooh, I get it. They should've mention it earlier, I wasn't aware of this.
@ValiantPixel Happy Birthday mate! Belated, but hey, hope you had a good day
@ZurrrrBlattTron You mean other than SM3D World, MK8, SMG 1 and 2, and MKWii? And that is just on Wii U and Wii!
