About this deal
We are approaching that time of year again, no not Valentine’s Day or Pancake Day but Mario Day! Mario Day is an annual celebration to honour the friendly moustached Mario character. It is celebrated on 10 March every year. Why? That’s simple, Mar10 looks like Mario. It is generally celebrated by dressing up as Mario, having a Mario-themed party, or simply playing Mario games – so we have been playing Mario themed games. There are three candidates: Wii Play, Wii Sports Resort, and Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games, which were all released pre-2013. I play this game with my sister sometimes. But we have the Mario one, and I think maybe the setup's different."

At this point, I gave up on the whole Mario angle. Anything for the Wii will be sufficient! I wouldn't find it odd at all if someone referred to some random Wii game as a Mario game, particularly if that person is not especially video game savvy (okay, it might be a stretch). Once [my sister] confirmed that Adachi was nowhere to be seen, she plopped down in front of the TV in the corner and grabbed a Wii controller. Though not related to the actual question, it should come as no surprise that, after finding those passages about the Shimamuras' Wii again, I also tried to figure out what ping-pong video game Little Shimamura was playing. And I thought I may as well share what I found out.
