It´s me, Mario!


Yes, you surely know this one: the most famous plumber in the whole world, Mario a popular game icon norwadays. Born in an arcade game, today he has hundreds of games with his name on it. Well, take a deep breathe and let´s dive into Mario´s history.
Mario was born when Shigeru Miyamoto had a terrible problem at japanese Nintendo: the license of using Popeye in an arcade game was lost, with the game almost ready. So, Shigeru created Jumpman, who would be later called Mario; the gameplay was kept, but the character role was changed. So, mario starred at the game Donkey Kong.
In this game, Mario was a carpenter who had a girlfriend named Pauline and owned a monkey, Cranky Kong, later Donkey Kong. Mario mistreated the monkey, who one day got fed-up; he broke his cage and kidnapped Pauline. So, the game was all about rescuing Pauline and climbing to reach DK.
The game was a total success; there were many sequels to it, and also some copies for Atari. But now, let´s see what happened to the already famous Mario.
In this picture you can see a picture of Mario Bros. This was an arcade game where Mario appeared without Donkey Kong; also, it had the first appearance of Mario Brother, Luigi. It was a 2-player game, very simple: let the creeps kill your opponent before they do it to you. It had some similar sequels and copies too; it was also remade for Nintendo Entertainment Sistem (NES) and Super Nintendo Entertainment Sistem (SNES). At this time, Mario was already a plumber, as you can say by the pipes.
