Nintendo Celebrates MAR10 Day With Google Maps Collaboration And Super Mario Run Discount

To celebrate MAR10 Day (ie March 10), Nintendo arranged a collaboration with Google Maps so that people looking to use Maps as a GPS can show Mario in his go-kart instead of the usual blue arrow.

By choosing to go from your current location to your destination, and then clicking the grey Question Block next to the ‘Start’ button, you can activate Mario mode instead. This function will be available until March 17, 2018, one week after it starts.

Wahoo! Now you can navigate the world as Mario in @GoogleMaps to celebrate #MAR10Day! Check out #MarioMaps on Google Maps now for a week. pic.twitter.com/iX3uZMfLrc
