10 Funny Stories About Mario That Will Have You Bouncing In No Time

Dear readers,

Today is Mar.10! Mario Day! Initially created by some fans who noted the similarity in the date and the name Mario, Nintendo has officially endorsed it from 2016 onwards! While many of us have fond memories of Mario jumping over many a pipe and goomba, the character has transcended his pixellated roots to become a representative of Japan and a cultural icon for generations.

To celebrate Mario Day, we’ve rounded up ten Mario-themed stories from our archives! From parents not quite understanding the appeal to pointing out the very debatable differences between Mario and his brother, Luigi, we’ve got you covered!
