         Mario is my favorite classic game! Mario was released in 1983 and was the first of two-hundred Mario games.  Mario is a fictional character from the Mushroom Kingdom in America. Shigeru Miyamoto, the creator of Mario, wanted to create the best selling video game for Nintendo. He originally wanted to make a game that hade Popeye, Olive Oyl, and Bluto but he was unable to get the license to be able to use the characters.  Mario started out in one of the earlier Donkey Kong games. Mario was originally known as Jumpman.  In the 1981 Donkey Kong game, Donkey Kong was Mario’s pet and Mario was mean to him so Donkey Kong ran away and stole Mario’s girlfriend. Then you have to play Jumpman and rescue her.  Then, when Mario’s own series was created, he then had to save princess Peach from the evil turtle Bowser.

                Not only do the creators have a lot of Mario games, they also have games that feature some of the other characters from Mario. I really liked the game Luigi's Mansion for the Nintendo GameCube. In this game Luigi inherits a mansion and when he goes inside the mansion, he quickly finds out that it is haunted. Then Mario gets kidnapped by the King Boo character and Luigi has to go through the entire mansion trying to save his brother.  Another Mario game I love is called Super Mario Smash Bros. In this game, he or she can pick their favorite character and fight the other popular characters from a lot of different classic video games. He or she can either play the story mode or fight their friends in multiplayer. My favorite character is Zelda because I always disappear and reappear on the other side of the map and it is easy to get away from the person I am fighting. I love the Mario games and they are definitely my favorite games!

I rated this series 5 out of 5 because there are a lot of different types of games and it’s awesome.
