It´s me, Mario! - Part 2

After rockin´ hard in the oldschool arcade games, Mario starred in the Mushroom Kingdom, found in a state of despair, caused by King Koopa (Bowser). This was the game Super Mario Bros., in which Mario and Luigi fought against Bowser´s minions to save Princess Peach Toadstool. It was a revolutionary game, and it built the fame we know today as Mario´s games style.

There were some famous sequels of this NES game: the Super Mario Bros. 2 and 3, both for SNES. In Super Mario Bros. 2, Mario had adventures in a dreamland, and in 3, he fought against Bowser agains, but in much better graphics and gameplay, including the flying abilitie.
The next game, also for SNES, is probably the most famous one: Super Mario World. EVERYONE must have played this game once. The most notorious thing in this game is the arrival of Yoshi, Mario´s carryer in the game. Yoshi helps Mario to save the Dinosaur Land by swallowing his enemies and splitting shells and fire. He could also fly and perform an earth stomp.
