Mario in Games

Mario is a fictional game character created by the Japanese Video Game Designer Shigeru Miyamoto for the Nintendo Mario Games series. Since its creation, Mario has appeared in several video games which amount to around 200 games. The first game where Mario had an appearance was in Donkey Kong and after that this Italian-American Plumber started appearing in series of games.

Most of the Mario games happen in Mushroom Kingdom, where Mario along with some help from his brother goes on an adventure to rescue the princess. On his way he has to defeat different enemies like Goombas and Koopas. Finally he comes across a dragon like enemy named Bowser. He has to defeat Bowser numerous times and find the real princess after a really long adventure. The concept behind this game was an instant hit

Besides those games which take place in the mushroom kingdom, Mario has also other featured games such as Dr. Mario puzzle game, Super Mario Galaxy, Mario Kart and so on. The game list is too long as this gaming character has appeared in video games for decades. Due to this Mario has been able to entertain generations after generations of gamers. This shows the popularity of our gaming character and it is probably the reason behind why Mario is often cited as the most famous video game character ever created.
