Mario does love destroying blocks, so I guess this makes sense.

Nintendo revealed today that Mario-themed content is coming to the Wii U version of the popular block-building game Minecraft. The Super Mario Mash-Up pack is available for free on May 17. It includes Mario skins, music, and items. Across all of its platforms (which is pretty much every platform), Minecraft has sold over 70 million copies, making it one of the most popular games on consoles, PCs, and mobile in the world.
