Pixel-art scene inspired by the Super Mario Mushroom Kingdom. A go-kart race takes place on a bright track surrounded by red-and-white mushrooms, green hills, floating coins and classic Mario question blocks. At the front is a sharply dressed 1960s advertising executive resembling Don Draper from Mad Men, wearing a suit and smoking a cigarette while driving his kart. Behind him, several other suited advertising men drive karts while talking on their mobile phones. The scene links three things associated with 10 March: MAR10 / Mario Day celebrating Super Mario Bros. (1985), the birthday of Jon Hamm (1971) who played Don Draper in Mad Men, and the 150th anniversary of the first telephone call in 1876. The visual joke is that Don Draper is leading the race while everyone else is distracted by their phones. 🍄📞🏁
Happy MAR10 Day 🍄 (Super Mario Bros., 1985)
Happy Birthday Jon Hamm (1971) — Don Draper, Mad Men
Happy Anniversary ☎️ — first telephone call (1876)
