Okay, he doesn’t have a gritty shooter – yet – but zombie survival is coming to Mushroom Kingdom no earlier than 2014. For the most part, what you want, Mario has. And whether you prefer your games in 2D or 3D, Mario’s got both. Hell, thanks to Paper Mario, Mario can come as close to 1D as any game since Pong.
So next time you’re praising a franchise, ask yourself: would this protagonist take the time to teach me typing? If it’s not Mario, the answer’s a no.
These groundbreaking video games changed gaming forever and drew in scores of fans in the process.
From Toadsworth to King Wart, several Mario characters have been sidelined by Nintendo.
Besides leading his own franchise, Mario has appeared in many crossover games that capitalize on Nintendo's greatest hero.
what I really know, that Mario is a king of platformer games :) that's for sure.. also there are great Mario & Paper mario RPG titles :)
He's yet to be in a traditional fighter.
too much Mario is never too much
i thought he was a plumber
No King can rule forever.
Jokes aside, Mario is one of the biggest if not the biggest gaming icon and has a special place in most gamers' hearts.
