Mario Bros

This was all about Mario and this time he didn't have Donkey Kong to hold him back!

Mario and Luigi
(his plumber brother) are there to rescue Princess Toadstool - yeah!

Mario had his debut in Donkey Kong - now it was time to make his own mark on the World on the NES along with the original arcade and ports to the classic consoles and micros of the day (including the ZX Spectrum!).

Jumpman (Mario's original name) from Donkey Kong was now a thing of the past. Legend has it that an Italian Amercian Landord called actually Mario came into Nintendo of America building,  made alot of fuss, so they remembered the name and it stuck.

Developed by the legend of gaming, that is Shigeru Miyamoto, Nintendo brought the little Italian plumber to life in the New York Sewers to rid the world of the critters lurking below.
