Not sure why Nintendo made some sort of an event about making Mario's boots real, but they did. Mario Day or March10, the Nintendo Store of New York showed off replica boots of Mario's. Why? They...aren't iconic. It's very random and we hope what ever ad exec who did it comes forward to be made fun of.
Fans seem to really like the commercial that pay homage to the old TV show theme, but this, this was just dumb.
