I grabbed it when the restored version was circulating the web a little while ago, but I haven’t watched it yet.

I watched that one years ago; I should try to re-visit it if possible
I’m always thinking that the recent CGI movie should’ve tried to stick with Super Mario Bros. 1 material for the first movie/origin story, but too late to change it now
For a Super Mario Bros game that I think a lot of people overlook, because they just don’t know about it… How many of you all have played VS Super Mario Bros – the arcade game? It is the original Super Mario Bros, but with the levels rearranged, and revised to be tougher. More enemies, fewer power-ups, etc. It also featured six new challenging stages interspersed throughout, which would go on to be used in the sequel game in Japan (Super Mario Bros 2… aka The Lost Levels).
You can play this game on the Switch via Arcade Archives, luckily enough. I’m trying to beat it, but… It’s tough stuff.

I feel like I keep answering that I’ve played these games because I’m old, lol. I used to play this in a little arcade I would go to when visiting family a little ways outside of my own city.

I have encountered Vs. Super Mario Bros. in person long, long ago. I think…in the YMCA, and in a little arcade-type place in the Poconos. I don’t think either are there anymore
It was kind of surreal, how it would start out looking like the Super Mario Bros I knew and loved from home, but would…diverge
I did play once again, and beat it, in my earlier days of Switch. I eventually cleared it out for space; it seemed redundant enough that I could do that

May the MAR10 be with you, everyone! I have a neck ache so no games for me today… but Mario 3 is the first video game I ever played and the entire series is very special to me, I thought I’d share a little bit of memorobilia before I get some rest.
2009 throwback to meeting Charles Martinet, taken on a Motorola flip-phone in TRUE 2000s style. I was really nervous but he was just so geniune and sweet you couldn’t help lowering your guard.
Super Mario Galaxy, signed by both Charles Martinet and Mario himself, proving Mario does indeed exist in our world
Last but not least, its the posession I am the most unreasonably proud to own—you guessed it, its the officially licensed Japanese poster for the Super Mario Bros movie! Everybody’s clamoring for it!
I do love this poster though (and the movie too).

Happy Mario Day ! Afraid I did not play any Mario games today [have played them all to death] nor made spaghetti this time [did have a spaghetti dinner on Saturday, though]
I did do my annual Mario Day doodle, though–Mario with his hypothetical daughter

Everyone’s posting great stuff, thanks for sharing, everyone.
For MAR10 day I decided to finally buy Super Mario Run on my phone (arguably the only “mainline Mario platformer” I haven’t played, if we want to count it). It’s not a lot of levels for the main campaign (unless more is unlocked afterward? guess I’ll find out), but there are daily remix dealies to play through. It’s a perfectly okay auto-runner type of mobile game. I’ll post more thoughts on it probably next week.
