'Mario Time' is coming to Google Maps for a limited time to celebrate MAR10 Day.

Everyone's favorite fictional plumber has a new occupation...tour guide.

Google Maps is rolling out a new feature that lets Mario join you on your adventures this week as part of a collaboration with Nintendo to celebrate MAR10 Day.

According to Google, first you'll need to update your app then click on the yellow "?" icon on the bottom right of the Google Maps app to enable Mario Time.

The navigation arrow then transforms into Mario and he'll join you for all your driving this week. The feature is rolling out across the world on Friday.

Google is encouraging fans to share screenshots of Mario and his kart in action with the hashtag #MarioMaps (just be sure not to include any personal information, like your home or work address).
