Super Mario Odyssey Strategy
Mario has been around for years, starting out in the early 80’s, everyone thought that this little character had real promise. The creators had him in a different game originally, but soon gave him his own game because everyone loved the little guy.
Mario is now one of the biggest characters of all time, but the game makers with Nintendo didn’t know that when they put him in Donkey Kong. They just felt that this little tradesman had a role to play in the world taken over by the massive gorilla.
Having appeared in over 200 video games since he was created, he has gained a lot of fame throughout the Nintendo world and still continues to have not only games of his own, but also movies, shows and much more that feature him and his brother Luigi.
One of the biggest and best selling franchises of all time, Mario has gone to the top of the charts with many of his games and even some he’s featured in as well. Super Mario set the scene for him, but then came his other signature games such as Mario Kart, Mario’s Time Machine, Mario Tennis and so many more.
With all the games out there, Mario continues to be a loved character for so many. Players looking for quality games with a character they know well instinctively turn toward Mario titles, and he continues to be a favorite for many.
Nintendo’s Beginnings
Nintendo wasn’t always just a video and game console maker for players. The company started small as a trading card platform, helping players trade and play, and as a toy maker. They didn’t dive into the game console business until many of the consoles became bigger and more well known.
With this new technology, the group that was working inside a tiny office space then developed not only a new game but a new system. This led to the evolution of Nintendo itself. It was something that would make them much bigger than Pac Man, as well as any of the other game makers out there.
To this day Nintendo continues to top the charts with their games and game consoles, many of which are currently handheld, making a big impact on the way that gaming is done today.
They’re the gaming systems you know and use currently.
Mario’s Creation
Mario had a humble beginning as a side-story character for the hit game Donkey Kong. The makers had no idea Mario would go as far as he did. Donkey Kong was one of the first ambitious game projects by Nintendo that the creators hoped would become as big as Pac Man.
While Donkey Kong did make it quite big, he wasn’t able to beat out that mega-successful dot eating character.
As the creators realized how popular Mario was, they decided to give him a name, give him a background and then present him in a new game, a game all his own, that people could really enjoy.
Naming the character also gave a face and a purpose to the little pixelated guy. After a bit of a debate the creators settled on Mario as his name, but head creator Shigeru Miyamoto almost went with Mr. Video instead. If the makers had given him a name like Mr. Video, he wouldn’t have made it very far. He was supposed to be personable and someone that would provide hours of fun much like a friend. A name like Mr. Video just doesn’t match his theme which is why it’s fortunate for Nintendo that they ended up going with Mario as the name, because they’ve enjoyed great success from the little jumping guy.
Over time Mario has grown and evolved. He has become better-looking due to the evolution of game systems and the way the characters and items on the screen look.
Learn more about the history of Mario and how he became as big as he is today. It won’t come as a shock to know that he has a much deeper history than most people realize.
You might not have even realized that Mario has been around as long as he has, or that he’s evolved so much. Your parents might have even played the original Mario games when they were younger, so ask them about how he was then, as compared to how he is now.
Super Mario Bros. Take the Stage
Of course, you’re very familiar with Mario, but what about his brother, Luigi? He didn’t make his big entrance until some time later to provide a little more character diversification.
With Mario Bros. coming out big and in full force, many people thought that Mario’s full name was Mario Bros. Nintendo finally revealed to the audience that Mario’s name is actually Mario Mario, and that the Brothers
was just the name of the game that also included Luigi in it.
Of course, Luigi is now featured in almost every game that comes out with Mario, but he never was in the beginning. He didn’t come out until 1983, a few years after Mario had already been created and introduced to the world.
When you think of Super Mario Bros. games as they are today, you’re allowed to choose which character you’d like to play throughout the game, whether it is Mario, Luigi, Princess Toadstool or any of the others. That wasn’t always the case though.
It’s a bit shocking to find out you once were stuck just playing Mario. Read on to learn how the game’s have evolved over the years and become richer with features.
What’s your favorite thing about Mario? Do you have a favorite game that he is featured in? Have you played the newest Mario game that’s recently been released for Nintendo Switch?
Now’s the time to learn all about Mario and what the little lovable character has to offer, from the beginning of his creation onward. He’s been in countless games that we know and love, and is one of the biggest video game icons today.
Mario didn’t always have the spotlight in his own games. He started off in a much humbler way than many characters do. While most new characters are given their own games in the beginning, Mario was just a side character that had to grow into the fully-fledged feature character that he is today.
Mario had to win our hearts over time, and that’s probably part of the reason that he’s such a well-developed character today.
He started out in the early ’80s as a side character in the game Donkey Kong.
As an Italian plumber, no one thought he would go very far in the world of video games. However, with some time, he has become one of the most recognizable characters throughout the world. He is featured in over 100 video games and it’s hard to imagine
