Mario For the Nintendo Wii Console 

by John Milligan

Who is He Though?


Mario is portrayed in games and entertainment as a kind-hearted, brave hero with with a love of pasta and pizza. Mario games, on the whole, have sold more than 290 million units on the last count, making the series the best-selling of all time. But just who is this chap and where did he come from?

Mario has appeared in over two hundred video games since he was created way back in 1981 and has since, taken on the role of Nintendo's mascot and has been a huge selling point together with lots of top selling merchandise. He is of course part of the hugely successful Nintendo Wii currently taking the world by storm.

The little chap is depicted as a short, pudgy happy-go-lucky Italian plumber who lives in the Mushroom Kingdom, where he is very much seen and treated as a hero best known for constantly thwarting the plans of the evil King Bowser to kidnap Princess Peach and take over the Mushroom Kingdom. Mario's cheerful personality is reflected in his high pitched voice and of course we only hear short phrases like, "Okey dokey" but we all know his voice.

Although his outfit usually changes to suit whichever game he is in, Mario's basic appearance has changed little over the years since he first appeared in the arcade game Donkey Kong where I believe he was a character named Jumpman. He was later used in other genres such as the educational game Mario Paint, appearing in 1992 for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES), and Mario Pinball Land for the Game Boy Advance.

Mario's creator, Shigeru Miyamoto, apparently once said that Mario wears a cap simply because he finds it difficult to draw hair! I don't know how true that is but it is a nice, little interesting point regarding a hugely successful character who is still selling extremely well worldwide.

I've been eyeballing the Wii for a while but want to hold off until my boys put the pressure on me. I'm sure we'll eventually get one and then I'll consult your lens for the best games to buy. Very cool!

The Wii is by far the best game system ever. My brother and I saved up our mony to buy one. So far we have Super Smash Bros., Mario Kart, M&M's Kart Racing (Big Letdown), and Guitar Hero World Tour. We love our Wii and love the way it gets people off their feet and interactin with the game. I just wanted to tell you that M&M's Kart Racing is a disaster.If you don't own a Wii, get one. You'll be glad you did.
