Ever wonder why side-scrolling video games from the 80's and 90's almost always scroll in a single direction—left to right? This might seem like a silly question (duh...it just makes sense that way), but if you really think about it, it is a little odd. Why do games always scroll that way?
Nintendo has used March 10 (aka MAR10 Day) to make a number of Mario related announcements, including an update on Super Mario Bros Movie 2.
Jessica Mullane for SUPERJUMP: "a style of gameplay that is intentionally meant to be frustratingly difficult. Don't expect to master anything in a day or even a month"
What is up with the fact that Super Mario, and his brother Luigi, have Italian names and seem to speak with an Italian accent but were created in Japan? Well, there's more to the story.
It's surely as simple as they're pandering to woke culture, terrified of being 'cancelled' due to racial stereotyping.
If that's the case, its pretty pathetic. It's obvious he was designed as an Italian pastiche and that's all part of the fun! If people are offended by that, that's their problem. Let them miss out on great Mario games due to their warped ideologies. They can enjoy their sanctimony instead.
There's a vocal minority that get bogged down in this kind of nonsense and we shouldn't let them ruin everyone else's enjoyment. I swear people used to be thicker skinned, these days they're just thick.
I dont know where people get this weird misconception that because a character is crated in a certain country, that means that is their ethnicity. He was and always has been italian.
I thought originally his mustache was supposed to be his mouth but they couldn't get it quite right. He probably was supposed to be Japanese. All I can say is “Cancelled!!!!!!!” Nice knowing you Mario!.
No he is a Japanese guy born in Italy. Who cares the games are fun to play and he is a popular character that helped put the NES on the map.
I thought this was because the early game developers designed it that way, and everyone else just went with the flow and copied it.
Going both ways is what made Metroid and Zelda so great back then.
Everybody should know this especially after the studies published by the LLVCU some people see things as left to right while others see them as right to left its why us americans drive on the wrong side of the road.

When I run a mental movie of the classic super Mario he goes left, I can't get my brain to make him go right. It's really weird when I try I feel a bit of pressure in my head.
