The game was only released in Japan at first, though it of course went on to massive worldwide success: the birth of an icon the likes of Disney’s Mickey Mouse, or McDonalds’ Ronald McDonald. “At first, Mario wore a white shirt and red overalls so his arm movements would be clearly visible”, Miyamoto said. While platformer games were already popular at the time, Super Mario Bros brought the genre through the roof.

Super Mario Bros. sold more than 40 million units and is one of six inductees in the World Video Game Hall of Fame. It can be seen from the video that the stage will only be constructed right before a match starts, with a hand piecing the level together similar to how players create stages in Super Mario Maker.

All you need to do is head to the Google home page and enter the search terms “Super Mario Bros“.

An interesting point to be noted is that, the Super Mario doesn’t come with any instructions or booklet, you just had to pick up the game and play. They are expected to arrive garbed in Super Mario attire. According toThe Straits Times, this new title from Nintendo will be released for the latest Wii U Console. It took a few extra months for the game to make its way to North America and an extra year and a half to reach Europe and Australia.

Today the Mario series includes kart racing, fighting games and even sports like tennis and golf – all starring Nintendo’s famous plumber.
