originally the fun character Mario was introduced to the world in 1981 as a heroic carpenter (not a plumber) through the popular arcade game Donkey Kong. Mario's character was originally called Jumpman and his mission was to rescue the damsel in distress from Donkey Kong (a giant ape). Then in 1983, due to popular demand, Mario found himself with his first starring role and a different job. He starred as a plumber in the now famous arcade game Mario Bros. This arcade game has since been ported across to all the popular home video game formats. The new Mario Bros also introduced Mario's brother, Luigi. However this initial games's popularity was short-lived, so in 1985, Super Mario Bros, was released for the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES). Super Mario was not the first scrolling platform game, but it has certainly become probably the biggest and most influential game in that category. For all the Super Mario fans we have presented a collection of our favorite Super Mario t-shirts below.
