Super Mario Brothers games are among the best games of all time, bar none. Starting off an innocous arcade title from 1983, it exploded with creativity and innovation with the first side-scrolling platformer, Super Mario Brothers for the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1985. All Super Mario Brothers platformers have not only been fun, but innovative. Super Mario World had an astounding amount of levels. Super Mario 64 is *still* the benchmark and template for all 3D platformers. Mario has also had numerous spin-off titles which have continued the flawless quality of the franchise. In addition to incredible gameplay, the characters are just cool. Mario is a good guy, short and simple. He must rescue Princess Peach Toadstool from the evil Bowser. He also has the help of his brother Luigi, and his loyal dinosaur Yoshi. The worlds are bright and cartoony and simply bubble over with creativity.
