In celebration of Mario Day on March 10,Animal Crossing: New Horizonslaunched a Mario Mission where players can win Mario-themed pins for free. To enter for a chance to win the pins, players will have to complete a task inAnimal Crossing: New Horizonsby later this month, as well as other objectives.
Animal Crossing: New Horizonshad its first collaboration withSuper Mariorecently by bringing a number ofSuper Marioitems to the game, including Princess Peach’s Crown, Mario and Luigi’s Hats, the iconic green Pipe, and the Goal Pole. Some players have come up with creative ways to use the items, especially the Pipes, such as one player who made a functional subway system on their island. This collaboration also bodes well for other possibleAnimal Crossingcrossovers, such as one withLegend of Zeldaitems and characters that fans have been requesting for some time.

After doing so, players will be taken to the official NintendoNew Horizonsisland, which is the end of the mission. However, in order to beeligible to win theMariopin set, a number of other missions also need to be completed. Players can go to the Nintendo website to check out the other missions and keep track of how many they’ve completed.
Some of the other missions include making purchases, such as buying thepopular Nintendo titleSuper Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury, while others are more simple, such as playing a mini-game inAnimal Crossing: Pocket Camp, a free mobile spinoff of theAnimal Crossingfranchise.
