In 2025, the USA witnessed a major shift in distracted driving law when 31 states, including the District of Columbia, enacted “no touch” or hands-free laws that ban drivers from holding or manually touching their phones while operating a vehicle.

They aim to reduce distraction by requiring the driver to have their phone on a mount and only interact with it through voice commands or the minimal tap-based input that does not entail removing one’s eyes from the road.

Nintendo has a holiday on the 10th of March each year and is known as the MAR10 Day, and is a day aimed at its most popular character, Mario. The date is a visual pun, the number MAR10 approximates the name of a character, Mario, and the date was already being adopted as an unofficial celebration by fans well before it was officially adopted by Nintendo. With time, the company has made the day a reoccurring international event where the company makes game promotions, tournaments, announcements, and fan activities.

The 2026 version has additional symbolic significance as it is the 40th anniversary of the influential 1985 Nintendo Entertainment System game Super Mario Bros., which is said to have established the modern platforming game. In order to celebrate that milestone, Nintendo expanded the Mario Day to a multi-layered celebration that encompassed digital services, retail offers, community events, and cross-media promotion, based on the larger Mario franchise.

Nintendo organized multiple March activities that extended beyond the March 10 date to create a seasonal celebration for their Mario Day festivities.

The arcade games which captured American audiences the most during their initial release did better in international venues than they did in their home country. The history of arcades depends on American history through its examination of American arcade venues which include malls and pizza parlors and early coin-op booms. American venues failed to support certain arcade games which became popular due to their combination of high player attendance and lower operating costs. The games achieved international success as their strongest fan bases developed outside of the United States.
