Who does not know Super Mario games? There are at least three main installments, with hundreds, if not thousands, of variations available around the world. He is that short Italian-American plumber who lives in New York. As a plumber, he goes down the sewers until he comes across the world called Mushroom Kingdom. Mario has a brother, Luigi, and together they help rescue Princess Toadstool from the evil clutches of King Koopa.

The first Mario Bros arcade game was released in 1983 and featured Mario and Luigi as the main antagonists. This was the starting point of the famous Super Mario game series that is loved by many people all over the world. Players engage with the game mainly because of its exciting story and colorful backgrounds. The game is set in many worlds and that fact alone gives the players the push they need to finish the game.

The first series of Mario Bros games is very attractive indeed. Being made up of eight worlds, each of them has a castle where King Koopa keeps the princess. Mario has to conquer each of these worlds, enter the castle and defeat King Koopa’s henchman who defends each of them. Mario has to get through various Koopa minions in the form of turtles, monkeys, and bullets, among others.

The second series of Super Mario games was simply titled Mario Bros 2. After the successful rescue of the princess, players can choose between four characters: Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, or Toad. Each of these characters has unique and special abilities that will help the player in the adventure. Luigi is the one who can jump the highest. Toad is more reliable when it comes to digging. Princess Peach has the ability to float. Mario however, has a bit of each of these abilities.

Super Mario Bros 3 is the third and final installment in the Super Mario game series. Here, the mission to save the princess is restored. Mario has to go through eight different new worlds in order to rescue her, but the battle is much fiercer now. King Bowser now has children who were named Koopalings. Together, they are determined to keep Mario and his brother away from the princess. Mario and Luigi have power-ups that will give them better abilities or extra lives.

Although these three series are the main ones, many other Super Mario games have been released. There are Nintendo games called Super Mario Land, Mario World, Super Mario Land: 6 Golden Coins, Mario World 2: Yoshi’s Island, and many others. All of them were able to inspire gaming fans to love it even more. When Mario’s popularity reached its peak, Nintendo practically worked overtime to annually release new games under its famous franchise. Nintendo is still making Super Mario games, the latest being Super Mario Galaxy 2, which was made for newer game consoles.
