In February 1990, Nintendo released the third installment of “Super Mario Bros.” and gamers across the United States scrambled for a copy. Kentucky teen Matt Baker found a copy of the game and said it was “worth the wait." Mario is so beloved that he gets his own holiday. Celebrate the high-jumping and costume-changing character on March 10.

Day, affectionately known as Mario Day, has arrived and the yearly celebration of all things Nintendo (and the company's iconic plumber) has brought sales on Switch games and even the console itself.
