Become Mario in Real Life for a Day, Complete with Tanooki Tail

Have you ever wanted to become Mario and can make it to New York on November 12th? Well now you can with your very own Tanooki tail!

Nintendo will be kitting out the iconic Times Square with a rather unique attraction - Mario's 3D world offers a literal 3D experience, a Mario themed world you can explore using a trampoline to do coin jumps, wander inside warp pipes and even pounce on the winning flag pole at the end.

Mario sure loves his mushrooms, so there'll be a pizza stall on-site offering free slices to the first 1,000 fans who tweet "#SuperMario3D". Slices of what you ask? "Mushroom Kingdom", of course!

To wrap things up in a neat package, fans will also be rewarded with exclusive Tanooki ears and tails, plus also get a chance to buy the game a day early ahead of the November 13th North America release.

WHEN:
Saturday, Nov. 12: 10 a.m.

WHERE:
Military Island at Times Square
Broadway and 7th Avenue between 43rd and 44th Streets
New York, NY 10036
