Irregardless is not a word.

Thats why they hate joyful, colorful, jumptastic Mario. Thats why.

If irregardless is not a word, then why does Mirriam-Webster have an entry for it?

http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/irregardless


technically that definition is saying it's a colloquial kind of word.

It is a word, with a definition, that is actually a word.  There isn't some sort of official government department that creates language.  Languages starts out as slang, and then becomes more common usage.  Once it gets to a critical level, it enters a dictionary.
