THE SUPER MARIO GAMES
Super Mario was created by Nintendo as a game based on and staring the fictional character, Mario. It is known as the Super Mario Bros series or simply the Mario series. These are the central series of the greater Mario franchise. For every major Nintendo console, at least one Super Mario game has been released.
In the series there are twenty-one similar games and one cross-series game which is super Mario world 2: Yoshi’s Island Break. The typical Super Mario games are set in the fictional Mushroom Kingdom with Mario being the player character. He is often joined by his brother Luigi, and other members of the Mario cast. Being a platform game, the player runs and jumps across platforms in themed levels, with simple plots, most ending with Mario rescuing the kidnapped Princess Peach from the primary antagonist Bowser.
Super Mario Bros was the first game in the series and established the series’ core gameplay and elements. It was released for the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) in 1985.
The Mario series is made up of 2D origins, Super Mario Land games and Super Mario World games including 3D and open worlds.
