Celebrate it a Mario Day
- by Jim Norman
Nintendo has already begun its MAR10 Day festivities with brand new LEGO, significant discounts, and Alarmo themes. However, there’s a wealth of fan-created content to explore as well. For instance, let us appreciate this stunning animation by the YouTube creator maribou, which provides a quick tour of the beloved plumber’s Swap adventures.
The ‘SUPER MAR10 WORLD’ animation runs just a little over a minute but is bursting with character. maribou reinterprets memorable scenes from titles such as Super Mario Odyssey, Wonder, and Strikers—even the Rabbids games make an appearance—and connects the segments together to create a ‘best bits’ compilation of Mario’s last eight years.
Be cautious, there might be a brief glimpse of a main boss from Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time in here as well, so if you don’t want any spoilers about that title’s climax, you might want to look away for a moment around the 45-second mark.
All of this is illustrated in a beautifully charming hand-drawn art style, and we advise everyone to not hum the ‘Celebrate it a Mario Day’ theme for hours after watching.
The artist has previously crafted short action sequences, an intro to a fan-made Mario animation, and a complete Mario showcase, but we believe that the latest MAR10 Day creation is the finest of the lot. Let’s hope the Switch 2 sparks even more creativity like this in the future, shall we?
What do you think of this MAR10 Day animation? Share your thoughts in the comments.
