My Nintendo Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Community Challenge
- Not to be confused with Community Competition.
The My Nintendo Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Community Challenge (or simply the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Community Challenge), known in-game as the MAR10 Day Challenge,[1] was an online 150cc tournament in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, which ran from March 7 through March 17, 2025 in celebration of MAR10 Day. The goal of this event, as outlined by Nintendo, was for participants worldwide to complete a combined one million laps by the end of the tournament; upon reaching this goal, every participant would receive 310 Platinum Points on their My Nintendo account, regardless of their level of participation. The number 310 alludes to MAR10 Day, whose date is notated as 3/10 in the United States. By March 12, it was reported that the laps completed in this community challenge reached 75% of the goal total.[2][3] The goal was eventually reported to have been met by March 14,[4] with a subsequent clarification that the 310 Platinum Point reward would be issued sometime on March 25 and redeemable until March 30.[5]
Participants were encouraged to take screenshots of their gameplay in this tournament and share them on social networking websites using the hashtag "#MAR10Day". Alongside the tournament, Nintendo promoted a special 14-day Nintendo Switch Online trial subscription obtainable until March 17, 2025, 23:00 PDT.
