Happy Mario 25th!
Ladies and gentleman, i am back. But i’m not back to talk to you, i am here cause i wanted to salute and say happy birthday to the greatest character of the gaming industries. Mario Mario.
25 years of Happy Mario as they call it.
I was wondering how i could express my gratitude to the “Jumpman”, for all that he gave me, so, here i am, i will try to simplify all his life in one post.
Here we go!
Mario is not just known in the videogame world, but in the whole world. In fact he is more popular than superman.
Born in 1981 as jumpman, he starred alongside with Donkey Kong, the Donkey kong game.
In 1982 “Jumpman” as he was called adopted the Mario name, to star as a villain in Donkey Kong jr. This was the only time, Mario was a villain in his whole career.
In 1983, he got his first videogame, called Mario Bros. where he had to eliminate all kind of pests that were beneath New York city.
Due to its succes, Shigeru Miyamoto, his creator, decided to make a game for the console to come out in 1985. Super Mario Bros.
Since then, Mario has appeared in 132 games, and the mushroom kingdom were never to be the same.
Thousands of friends, family members, jobs, allies, villains, princess, mushrooms, etc… were created since then, and will continue to be created for us to have fun with this mighty plumber.
- What kind of twisted animal is a Birdo? have you noticed what happens if you erase everything but his eyes and mouth?
Mario.
He is the eldest of the Mario brothers, his height is 1,55 and he weights 69kgs. Used to live in New York, but he is now a proud citizen of the mushroom kingdom. He first saved Pauline, his girlfriend, but then he decided to let her go, maybe cause she was cheating him with Dk, we will never know, and decided to go on with Peach, princess of Mushroom Kingdom.
He first started working as a carpenter, then he decided he was better on plumbing, and finally he became a hero.
He is known for his quotes “t’s a me, Mario!”, “Let’s a go”, “Here we Go!” and “Mamma mia”! It is said that his voice is very similar to Charles Martinett’s voice.
He worked as referee in punch out! as a teacher in Mario tennis and Mario Golf, painter, judge, soccer player, basketball player, astrounaut, and many others.
Many spinoffs were created since Mario, cartoons, movies, books, magazines, and all kind of merchandising.
I would rather not talk about the movie, in were the bombs used reebok shoes, and Luigi was John Leguizamo.
- Hello Luigi? you suck!
Many things were sold with the Mario image. From Pepsi to cereal, toothpaste, shirts, hats, and so on. But there is nothing like playing a good ol’ Mario game.
So Mario, have the greatest Birthday of all time, and keep us happy, because you are happy mario!
Happy birthday!
