Today, on 10th of March we celebrate Mario's day. That's why creators of Super Mario Run made a discount for their game and today we can buy it for a half of price, but that's not the end of interesting promotions connected with main character of many games from Nintendo's portfolio.

Google also decided to celebrate today's occasion, and after last update of Google Maps both for iOS and Android app received interesting feature. On the roads from maps will appear a Mario in go-kart, and he will drive with you to the destination of your trip. Obviously we can't use other characters from Mario games like Luigi, Peach or Toad. This option is also kind of advertisement of upcoming Nintendo's game for smartphones - Mario Kart Tour, which will probably be released during upcoming year.
