The biggest of those was Super Mario 3D All-Stars, which included the three most significant Super Mario titles, Super Mario 64, Super Mario Sunshine, and Super Mario Galaxy.

Eventually, a Mario-themed Nintendo Switch console was also made available. It was red and blue, similar to his overalls and hat.

And now, on Mar10 day, a similar console will make its way to the market. It would be the same console as last time. For $300, it would come along with a sticker sheet themed after the upcoming Super Mario Bros. Movie. Buyers would also get a choice of three games to choose from. They could choose from Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Super Mario Bros U Deluxe, and Super Mario Odyssey.

This seems like a great deal as they get the game they want and not the one they have a chance of already owning.

It is great that Nintendo is holding this event for Mario, but fans see another motive behind it. They are seeing it as an excuse to divert fans toward the upcoming Super Mario Bros. movie.
