Super Mario Bros. -- that classic of classics -- recently turned 25 years old. On Sept. 13, 1985, Nintendo released the seminal video game for the Famicom (the Japanese equivalent to the NES), and it made its way over to the United States early the next year. With the possible exception of Pac-Man, no video game franchise symbolizes the art form more completely.
Since Super Mario Bros. has touched the lives of so many people (it was the top-selling video game of all time until Wii Sports eclipsed it recently), many works of art, culture, and merchandise have been inspired by it. In the spirit of this anniversary, let's take a look at some of the oddest ones.
Super Mario has had a lot of different iterations, but for MAR10 Day 2024 (Mario Day), CGM takes a look at which is the best Mario across the entire franchise.
With the movie, several games, and a new theme park expansion delivered 2023 was a good year for Mario fans. Mahin K, writing for overkill, looks back, and notes how 2024 is looking like a good one too.
The Nintendo Switch is very nearly the perfect Super Mario gaming machine, but it's missing four main series 2D Super Mario games.
Super Mario Land (Game Boy) can't be that hard to port. How is that one not available? :)
That was a pretty awesome article.
