Then came Super Mario World in 1990 wherein Nintendo put out a new console along with introducing Yoshi, Mario’s dinosaur. It had two sequels, both named Super Mario Bros 2, followed by Super Mario 3 which was the first to feature a world map and inventory. The game has been modified over the years from Super Mario Brothers which has sold the highest number of 40.24 million video games for the franchise, as reported by Statista. Mario Bros came out as a sequel to Donkey Kong in 1983 and was the first to feature Mario’s brother – Luigi and is also the first game in which Mario cannot die, one of his many invincible powers, a report by MakeUseOf stated in ‘The Origins & History of Mario.’ Gaming consoles were the new ‘It’ thing of that era and Super Mario was not the first platform but it set the bar for video gaming for years to come.īut before the world knew about Nintendo’s flagship character, Mario initially featured in Donkey Kong in 1981 which was first conceived by Miyamoto, and featured ‘Jump Man’ who tried to save his girlfriend from a giant ape called, ‘Donkey Kong.’ Most of our childhood memories date back to the videogame ‘Super Mario,’ an Italian plumber dressed in red overalls, who ate mushrooms to grow bigger and travelled down drain pipes into underwater quests all to save a princess, developed by Nintendo in 1983.
