Super Mario Series

Introduction

Mario made his debut as the hero of Nintendo's 1981 arcade title Donkey Kong, where he went by the name of "Jumpman". He was named "Mario" after Nintendo of America's landlord at the time.

Whether he's rescuing Princess Peach of the Mushroom Kingdom from Bowser, destroying viruses with multicolored vitamins, or taking part in a friendly game of golf, Mario remains one of the most recognisable characters in video games.
