Nintendo 3DS - Mario Delivers a Holiday Gift to a Fan

This holiday, we asked our Facebook fans to tell us what they would do if they got their hands on their very own Nintendo 3DS.
This lucky winner said he'd dress up like Mario for a full month to celebrate.
What he didn't know is that Mario himself would be on-hand to deliver the package...

I gotta admit. It's video's like these that make me see how dedicated how Nintendo is to their fans. It's pretty cool!

[@thymemaster3045]

[@VinnytotheK]

>14 years old. >Never too old. 14 years old isn't old...

[@immabananaa1]

Well it's not the Mushroom Kingdom it's some random city that Mario has never been to so yeah

[@PianoMastR64]

Replace that '3' with an '8' and substitute "Zelda" for "Mario", and you have me. :)

[@dragon__blades]

if i met mario id give him a big ass mushroom then a star just to see him go rampage threw the streets ;)

[@bryanmedinavela4330]

[@macaronitree9127]

Imagine seeing that Mario in your neighborhood

[@achehex]

I just turned 18, and Jesús, I Heard the Super Mario World music, and had to go play it all over again. My favourite game of all time.

[@samiaghorbal4320]

my school hates mario but your my favourite

[@hersonpineda6457]

Same and I love Mario :3

[@flyingturnip8859]

Your school is a L

[@abrampaul8037]

Love da music. I love the game its from too

[@GigaMan91]

If that was me, I'd be making a ton of Mario impressions the entire time... after being speechless at the sight of Mario in the flesh.

[@NASCARFAN160]

It's good that Nintendo actually doesn't forget their old games....ah good ol Super Mario World. :D

[@NightShadow720]

Charle Martinet should have been in that Mario costume instead.

[@nintenbound64]

Man Nintendo used to be so friendly to the fans now they just want money 😔

[@merv971]

Nintendo will always remain the best video game company ever!

[@808SJC]

Never too old, to be playing Mario. 14 years old and still playing. Nintendo forever. Screw Sony and Xbox. Nintendo fan unite!

[@sangotihunter]

That pretty cool and this guy only deserve one word,RESPECT !

[@SpryO3]

It's high school when people seem to start growing out of Nintendo games. That said, if you make it to college and graduate with a degree and STILL play games like Mario and Pokemon, that's when you get to say "You're never too old to play..."

[@finnohare2270]

if i could get a free switch i would dress up like mario for a year

[@addy-gk7qk]

Finn O'Hare Same

[@Punaparta]

Anyone remember Super Mario Land? That was my first Mario game. Oh, scratch that. That was my first game.

[@unrooolie]

Can i switch up and dress like luigi so i dont have to wear the same shirt everyday?

[@Shou_cha]

HAHAHA lucky guy :D He's an awesome fan xD

[@bulletbill1104]

did you know that mario is actually less liked than his "overshadowed" brother. Just think that everyone thinks that luigi should get more attention so their giving him attention but that means no one is actually liking Mario they're only saying that he gets way to much attention

[@sergiobedolla34]

I am the 1# fan of mario and im 7 years old sukers screw sonic (sorry Sonic I still love you and play your game like sonic dash and sonic cd lite and sonic the hedgehog 4 episode 2 lite and sonic coloring

[@chubomikz7104]

that guy would be a hit at conventions

[@thezxninja101]

NO FAIR! I FEEL AWESOME FOR THAT GUY!

[@FrancoPantoja]

Funny! 😄 good luck

[@cbutterfieldmomof3]

i love mario

[@jacob644]

Me too

[@WarningProGamerhere]

as much as I sometimes say that I stopped that you have to be greatful for what you have not all dads are the same

[@zachfernandez92]

@NE0MEW shut up, if you do not like Nintendo, then just don't watch it, simple as that, Nintendo ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!

[@bluthefox1]

I wish there no taxes for video games im Brazil =( I really like Nintendo, Reaally really really, but the taxes im my country are so expensive! 85 dolars one game! if the taxes im Brazil are like the taxes in USA i could buy a 3DS and a game every month! and the minimum payment is lower im Brazil. there so many taxes I really hope one day we can buy the fair price!

[@niKiizdashyt]

@MrZombow It is not idiotic and offensive it is my opinion. Which is valuable. If you found that 'idiotic and offensive' then maybe you are one of the 'old ass dudes' that entered the contest and stole the chance of the hundreds children in foster care that would have loved to have a 3DS, but could not afford one. I saw this as a charity not as a place for grown men to play dress up to waste their lives on a Mario game. Cheer up hunny, you don't have to comment if you don't like what you read.

[@geminivaldez]

@PullusPardus This is the winner replying to your comment, I for one am unemployed but looking for job with a passion right now, but companies ain't hiring no matter how many times I apply for it, even if I was employed, I would not complain to people don't have jobs or aren't looking for one, some people have it harder than me and honestly don't really care about your bashing, even people who have jobs can't buy things like that, you got responsibilities and that's more important in life

[@jundor2397]

I had a dream that Porsche said Pokemon and Marko will come true ...

[@Ammako]

so donkey kong country and ... egglands best? Eh i'm not a fan of donkey kong i sort of broke our copy of DK64 cause i was trying to play it (i was in kindergarten) i forgot the password for it and apparently erased the old save Oops >.< and i don't have alot of memories of DK64 so i was never really a fan.

[@GBAer64]

Take Sega's "Sega does what Nintendon't" back then it wasn't illegal yet. But now they don't have commercials like that anymore. And it was kinda logical for Sega to do that since Nintendo made a commercial before that one which bashed Sega's products so the Nintendon't commercial was practically a form of revenge or payback.

[@geminivaldez]

@GustavoMsTrashCan Gee, sorry?, Can't a guy have some fun dressing up in costume, I ain't gonna give a thumbs down because honestly you have your opinion and I have mine, if people wanna have some fun with whatever they want to have fun then they're allowed, and honestly they don't care about the haters, just the ones who can't get a clue that it's all in good fun

[@geminivaldez]

@TheBestWindMaster I did had gloves, but sadly both pairs I had were teared up (both pairs at Comic-Con), yeah you could say I'm no true Mario fan, but since Nintendo gave me 3 sets of white gloves (by the way they're huge compared to my old ones) I'm glad I now have them and now my costume is once again complete x5

[@geminivaldez]

@Kingthug25 You so hit it out of the park there, yes I have been wanting the 3DS for quite some time, but could not buy due to financial reasons, I was amazed to find out that I won the contest, yes this is the guy from the video, having a blast with the 3DS with the 4 games, right now taking a picture a day with the Mario costume, so far Day 3, since I got the prize on Monday

[@StoopidGamerz101]

Same here, even age. My dad owns a nintendo, super nintendo, dreamcast, and original gameboy, but the one I liked the most was the nes for the games, especially super mario bros., donkey kong, and bubble bobble. And to this day, my favorite game of all time is super mario bros 2 (US version.)

[@TheChazzyC]

Im 11 and no im not a COD fan, Ive enjoyed Mario a little bit but I cant but help my self think that mario can feel stale even if they put in new powerups 3d visuals and what not but i cant help but only few nintendo franchises i like are Zelda, Kirby, Metroid, Super smash bros, Kid icarus, and POKEMON!

[@Ammako]

I got a ton of hate for Loving Pokemon, Zelda, Okami, Mario, and Yu-gi-oh! and hating COD!I was whined at because of that I just learned to tune people out cause I have 3 brothers tuning people out is a walk in the park! I've played the N64 when I was 2 and loved every game on it!!!

[@geminivaldez]

@NegaPlayer45 Then I am 5 dollars richer hahaha;), yes I am doing this for 30 days, for most of day I dress up, have breakfast, play the games during my winter break vacation from school, spend the day with my family, shower and go to sleep and then rinse and repeat for the rest of the month

[@geminivaldez]

@cesariojpn I would respond with something, but hey anyone that entered could win, and don't think for a second that I'm a bum, I am loyal to Nintendo through and through, doesn't matter if I'm employed or unemployed, even without a job (Still looking by the way) I'm glad that Nintendo gave this to me

[@Kingthug25]

why must everyone think little kids should only win this contest? Nintendo is about everyone young and old,plus you do not know if that man wanted a 3ds badly but could not afford it due to bare minimum liveing costs,you never know that is,im glad he got it and he looked happy

[@MrZombow]

@niKiizdashyt So you are saying that adults don't deserves a 3DS as much as kids do? We grew up with Mario, we deserves Mario Kart and Nintendo platforms just as much as kids nowdays do. And why do you call a total stranger for an ''old ass dude''? That's just idiotic and offensive..

[@NegaPlayer45]

@geminivaldez Okay. I wasn't bashing you specifically, but a lot of times people just say that they will do something like that, but since Nintendo isn't actually monitoring them (or are they?) they just don't. Anyways, good luck and congratulations.

[@GBAer64]

Well I've heard that Nintendo did make such commercial but I could very well be wrong. Plus nowadays Nintendo practically dominates the Japanese stores. And Japan takes up a 1/3 of the entire gaming community.

[@Kingthug25]

@niKiizdashyt and as well why would you say foster kids entered the contesf? where do you get these statistics from? please tell,and by the way i did buy myself a 3DS at 15(im now 16 in grade 11) so yeah...

[@niKiizdashyt]

@Kingthug25 Well maybe because hundreds of foster children entered this contest. They have no family no money of their own. As an adult I would hope to think that you could afford your own Nintendo 3DS system =)

[@Imaytper]

At least you're not a nine year old saying "MARIO SUCKS!" "CALL OF DUTY ROCKS!". And besides, don't worry about other people. I got bullied. believe it or not, for liking Pokemon at school.

[@techmax791]

Winner: Alright, yeah, yeah costumes. Just let me go home, this costume is hotter then hell. I want to play my 3DS in peace. Oh, you though I was serious about the costume? .... *trollface* *runs away*

[@geminivaldez]

@XxXRoaroftheTigerXxX As people said to me on the facebook post, Pictures or it didn't happen, hahahaha, Too bad, I would have liked to see that, 2 months, that's CRAAAAZY talk right there hahaha

[@darkarch757]

To bad they didnt give it to a kid in a hospital but to a full grown man who probably owned half the things he received already

[@KingLoop13]

Lol, I wish my dad was like yours. I'm 13 and al my dad owned was an Atari and that was it. He says lifes too hard to focus on video games, but I hope I never grow out of them.

[@niKiizdashyt]

Seriously an old ass dude that could buy his own 3DS won. What about the kids that entered? SMH @ Nintendo, makes me want to take back the 3 3DS systems I bought for my children...

[@GoofyPoptart]

14 hah aha im 17 and look at my profile picture haha keep playing Nintendo though dude like you said screw other companies

[@Ammako]

YEAH!! my first mario game was N64 13 And still playing it!(my brothers finished it 100 percent for me cause i suck at platformers but i'm really good at zelda games!)

[@sonickun95]

@geminivaldez So, you're the guy that won? :) Congratz! Did you get a 3DS? :o what color, and how do you like the system so far?:) I have a Aqua Blue 3DS and i love it! :)

[@geminivaldez]

@EpicAquaDog Sadly I don't a have a girlfriend, but if I do ever have one, yeah you are right, I would (should she accept of course) ask her to dress up as Princess Peach

[@SPS148669]

@LordFrood I don't hate the 3DS retail games. I just hate the 3DS Virtual Console. If you are a Sony or Xbox fan then what are you doing on a Nintendo Video.

[@SPS148669]

Music? What does the Super Nintendo have to do with the 3DS when Nintenfo just keeps locking those awesome games out from appearing on 3DS Virtual Console.

[@TheJuice401]

@HesSuperEffective id dress up like princess peach for a month, for a wii u and some cool mario / zelda games xD

[@flyingirishman00]

My older brother dressed up in a giant mario contest for halloween one year when he was younger. He's 25 and his girlfriend told him he cant do it anymore

[@RichardRicondo]

I TOTALLY want that costume. I'll dress up as Mario every Halloween and bind my heirs contractually to do the same if you next day that baby to me!

[@beatriceborromeo6658]

Does anyone find a really hard chimiche between zelda and mario?

[@bluthefox1]

@mildor3674 this is a lack of respect! we strive so hard for a game, and they don't give a fuck about us!

[@Bombs4TheZombs]

Thats awesome. I wouldve just worn a t shirt that said NINTENDO all the time (I'd buy multiple shirts to wear one while washing the other)

[@Pastellations]

You know they should of given hi the 3ds AFTER his month. Cuz he could just wear regular clothes after that AND get extra free costumes

[@geminivaldez]

@ThePokemoncollector Thanks buddy (PS this is the winner who's replying to you) and... I heard you like POKEMANZ!!! Hahahaha, thanks again

[@CheeseTooth]

YES! I'M 13 AND ADDICTED TO RETRO GAMING! GOT A SEGA GENESIS, NES/SNES AND COUNTING! I'LL HELP!!!!!

[@geminivaldez]

@MrUBtrollin2 Oh man, that would be AWESOME, I did had a dream the day before they came that Miyamoto came to me and gave me my prize

[@geminivaldez]

@RandomRobloxian I did hinted to them that I might dress up as Luigi, the person in the Mario costume got a bit jealous ;)

[@BiggestSniff]

lol, nintendo just made a lucky person happy, but also made the rest of his month hell :P

[@geminivaldez]

@troyisfilming A Kirby costume is not that hard to make, I have seen several Kirby costumes and it seems it easy

[@SaimeZX]

@Timoulos It doesn't matter how old you are if you wanna play game then play the game.

[@Nontupers]

@samfutch101 Bet he hides in his house wearing it and playing super mario world 3ds

[@isakts8576]

I liek Pokeymans

[@TheCobalt88]

You already have suits ready to roam around a Nintendo Theme park...COME ONE NINTENDO MAKE IT HAPPEN!!!

[@geminivaldez]

@Dude45Productions Hahahaha oh man, I have a friend who would so do that since he is a huge Bowser fan

[@kennethsdrawingdoodles1859]

I like Mario. And. I. Like. Super smash bros

[@Whelt]

@MegaDamnAge SNES. This is from Super Mario World!

[@iHeartStrawberriezz]

Gross, how does he shower? Bet the person in the Mario suit was throwing up quietly in his suit.

[@Eek64]

if i could do that i would try to fly with a fake wing cap off my bed (no doing anthying higher)

[@Roadhog360]

Sumer mario world! FTW FTW FTW FTW FTW FTW FTW FTW FTW FTW FTW FTW FTW!!!!!

[@RedPoisonDragon]

I'm happy for him but sad it didn't happen to me.

[@GigaGoombaXD]

Bet he didnt dress as Mario for a full 31 days...

[@Nightyoshi12]

I would dress up as Mario for the rest of my life

[@KingLoop13]

I know, it was a simple statement. I didnt mean it literally. I like my dad the way he is.

[@Ammako]

I PLAY BOTH!!! plus they are both made by Shigeru Miyamoto! so they are both equally good

[@Lalalu128]

Why don't they make this for me I would dress up as Peach or Daisy (if I had a costume :D)

[@NegaPlayer45]

Five bucks says he's not actually going to dress up like Mario for the rest of the days.

[@EMPERORMIKI]

@TheSuperpoweranger In reality, its probably some convicted felon under the costume FYI

[@masterofdoom5000]

The Gift was a fire flower, god help us we have unleashed a pyromaniac upon us all.

[@TuWear]

He would look perfect like Mario when he goes back to the Home Depot parking lot.

[@MewtwoGenetic]

@MegaYoshiBros did your mom teach you those words? if so, she must be put in jail
