He Mario Day 2024better known as the MAR10 Day 2024brought us some pleasant and unexpected surprises from Nintendo, with a series of ads around our beloved plumber. In some cases we come across obvious revelations, such as news about the inevitable Super Mario Bros. The Movie 2. But there were also other valuable developments.
This day has been established with relative fame just a year ago, after the internet had the hilarious idea of taking March 10 as the day dedicated to this character solely because the summary of the date resembles the name of the hero in monkey: MAR10 = March 10.
In celebration of this date last year, for example, we had an endearing music video where the voice cast of the first film (which ended up being a resounding box office mega hit) sang a cappella and together the main theme of the video game .

Overcoming that was complicated but not impossible. Here we have the count of everything.
Nintendo shined with the MAR10 Day 2024 announcements
Through their official social networks The friends of Nintendo shared a short video where they revealed to the world all the announcements they had prepared to celebrate the MAR10 Day 2024.
Where the big “announcement” was, precisely the production of the sequel that everyone was waiting for, a film that for the moment we know as Super Mario Bros. The Movie 2but that will probably end up landing another definitive title later.
This is how Shigeru Miyamoto himself describes this project and its new features:
“This time, the Illumination and Nintendo teams are collaborating again, and we plan to further expand the world of Mario with a light-hearted and fun story. We hope you like it!
An interesting novelty is that at least we now have an official release date: April 3, 2026. And if that were not enough, they gave away a digital book of the first film for free download, the Super Mario Bros: Movie Digital Guidebook.
Then came announcements with a lot of games and releases, some much closer than others. For example Dr. Mario, Mario Golf and Mario Tennis from Game Boy will arrive on Nintendo Switch Online on March 12, 2024. Along with a 10% discount promotion on select titles from the franchise.
Likewise, Nintendo announced that the remake of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door will be released on the Switch much sooner than expected, on May 23, 2024.
Taking advantage of the date, the company also confirmed that Luigi's Mansion 2 HD It will be released shortly after on June 27, 2024.
But perhaps the most disturbing announcement was regarding LEGO Mario Kart, a new series of sets that will hit store shelves in 2025.
