Every year on March 10, Nintendo celebrates 'MAR10 Day', which is a global fan event dedicated to the legendary character "Mario" from the "Super Mario series." Nintendo and fans worldwide treat March 10 as a special celebration of Mario and because of this, Nintendo typically launches a limited-time Nintendo eShop promotion where several Mario-related titles receive rare discounts as part of the celebration.
This year we have plenty of Mario and its related games that will be discounted, it includes Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury, Luigi's Mansion 3, Super Mario RPG and more. However, not every single Mario game is discounted during this event. Instead, Nintendo usually selects a curated collection of Mario and Mario-related games, including titles starring characters connected to the Mario universe.
Nintendo uses MAR10 Day promotions to highlight certain titles, which are often older Switch releases, remasters, or spin-offs—to boost the sales while also maintaining the premium pricing of newer flagship releases. This event has officially started as of March 5, 2026 and will go till March 15, 2026. Physical retailer sale has started today, March 8, at major retailers like Amazon, Walmart, and Best Buy. Starting March 9, members gain access to retro titles including Mario vs. Donkey Kong (GBA) and Virtual Boy classics like Mario Clash.
