If hearing the “Ground Theme” of Super Mario Bros makes you feel all warm and fuzzy, then you’ll be excited to learn that on March 10th we celebrate the mustached hero of the Mushroom Kingdom - Mario! Why do we celebrate on March 10th? It's because people noticed that when they abbreviated March 10 to “Mar10”, it looked like Mario’s name. First appearing in the game Donkey Kong in 1981, the friendly mustached character has since appeared in about 200 different games and has become one of the most recognizable video game characters in the world. Help give the leaping plumber the respect he deserves by firing up one of the games in which he appears and have yourself a hopping good time. #NationalMarioDay
