Origin of Mario Games

Mario is a famous fictional character in the Mario video game franchise. The crown-jewel character of Nintendo was created by the Japanese video game designer Mr. Shigero Miyamoto. Mr. Miyamoto joined the company at the age of 24 after graduating from college in Japan. Mario debuted in the classic game Donkey Kong back on July 9, 1981. Back then Mario was known as "Jump-Man" and he was portrayed as a carpenter. In the 1982 game Donkey Kong Jr., Jump-Man changed his name officially and became Mario. Donkey Kong Jr. was the only game where Mario was portrayed as an Antagonist. Mario has already appeared in over 200 video games since he's created. Portrayed as a short, chubby Italian plumber who used to inhabit the Mushroom Kingdom, Mario's adventure generally focuses on rescuing Princess Peach from being by King Koopa (Bowser). Mario also has a fraternal twin and sidekick named Luigi. Up to these days, the Mario franchise is still the best-selling video game franchise of all time, with more than 600 million units sold worldwide. Mario genres also include the Mario kart racing series, sports games, RPG (role-playing game), and educational games. The said franchise has been divided into several media, including TV shows, films, comics, and licensed commodities.
