The Three Most Widespread Super Mario Games

By Steve Holt


In recent decades, there were many game systems that were created and put out for sale. One well-known system was made by Nintendo. It was named the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES). Even today, Super Mario games are still very widely known. They are the most popular-selling games in history. Many variations of these games have been created for different systems.

Super Mario Brothers is a game that came with the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES). In this game, which has a two-player mode, the protagonist must face many obstacles, such as pesky critters and treacherous paths that require a lot of athleticism, to save Princess Toadstool from evil King Koopa, the antagonist.

The character travels through the levels in a left to right direction. During the levels, the character gets points, obtains extra lives, and gets various power-ups. Some of the power-ups include the mushroom, which enlarges the character; and there's also a flower, which gives the character firepower. With the firepower, the character can shoot most the enemies off the screen.

Super Mario 2 is unlike the first. Two versions of the second game exist. One is the Lost Levels and the other is Super Mario 2. Lost Levels was only released in Japan due to concerns that the game was too difficult for other people in other countries.

The version that was release in U. S is a nightmare the main character has. His nightmare is covered after Wort is defeated at the end of the game. This game is different from the first because it has four protagonists to choose from, including the princess, Mario, Luigi, and Toad. Each character has its own way and has different abilities. Some of the characters can jump higher while others may be able to run faster.

Unlike the first game, characters do not go through the levels jumping on enemies and shoot them with firepower. In order to take out an enemy, the character must pick up another enemy or pick up an object and throw it at the enemy to take him out. Likewise, there are no question boxes in this game. If the character wants to power up, they are required to find a potion, which takes them into a world very briefly where they can find the mushroom (power-up).

One interesting thing about this game is the final boss. What's interesting about it is that vegetables have to be thrown in his mouth to defeat him. After Wort is defeated, a door appears and the player goes to a celebration. Afterwords, the main character awakens from his nightmare and realizes it's only a dream.

Last but not least, another major game in the series is Super Mario Brothers 3. Many people consider this to be one of the best games in this series. This one is more similar to the first one than it is to the second, as it features a two-player mode.

One interesting aspect about this game is the power-ups. The mushroom and the flower are of the same function as they are in the first game. However, there is a leaf and it turns the character into a raccoon. There's also a hammer brother suit, a frog suit, or tenuki suit. Each power-up does something different.

Opportunities to collect power-ups throughout the game are ample. The nice thing about this game is that the power-ups can be used on the map where the levels are selected. This is the only game in the series that offers this option. This option makes it much easier to beat this game.

This particular series of games is known by many gamers. Many of the Mario games made today have elements from these games.
