Mario is undoubtedly one of the icons of the video gaming world. He is instantly recognisable to millions of folks (both young and old) worldwide and is now entering his fourth decade as a video games super star. It all began for the moustachioed Italian plumber in the arcade game Donkey Kong long ago in 1982. Since those early days he has starred in countless games on the NES, SNES and most lately the Wii. Super Mario Bros games are loved by people of every age group and have sold countless copies around the globe helping to make Mario 1 of the first heroes of the digital era. The wonderful gameplay of Super Mario Bros Games has created several imitators however it has never been bettered. From the first single screen escapades of Donkey Kong to the sideways scrolling game play of Super Mario Bros on the NES Mario games kept getting much better and better. Nowadays Mario games can be played in 3D on the Nintendo wii and his millions of followers continues growing. Nowadays it seems that every video games character makes an appearance in a movie at some point. While every game character today seems to manage to get their own film it’s worth remembering that Mario was the very first video games personality to appear on the silver screen . The film told the tale of how Luigi and mario rescued Princess Daisy from the evil clutches of King Koopa and was a large success around the world. The effects that Mario has had on the world is difficult to quantify. One of the things he has done is bring plenty of joy and pleasure to people’s lives all over the world and almost single handedly sparked a video games revolution.
