Discovering Information About Super Mario Bros Games

By Dean Jones


People who enjoy console games are well aware of Nintendo's Mario Brothers series. First presented to the public in 1981, with a game called Donkey Kong, this company has grown by leaps and bounds. Today's market finds numerous of these games that are geared for all ages. The majority of these feature Mario, an Italian plumber, as a character. Many editions are labeled as "Super Mario Bros" and have special characteristics.

The original program came out on a 2D side scroller but many of the newer versions are now presented on 3D platform. This advancement presents excellent quality and video clarity. An example of the "Super" presentations is the World Slots video. With this game you are able to try your hand at playing the slots and hitting a jackpot. This provides the thrill of the play without it costing you money. You might also want to take a look at the Super Mario Galaxy or the Time Attack games which offer an exciting challenge.

All of the games feature moving characters and the need for jumping over obstacles and other venues requiring movement to accomplish a goal. A number of them feature the hero rescuing a damsel in distress. However, there are also games that feature sports and other exciting events. All actions are, of course, controlled by the game player.

Certain games are designed to engage the player in personal involvement with the action on the screen. Mario Golf, Tennis, Superstar Baseball and Super Strikers are a few examples of how it is possible to actually take part in the kind of sport that is a personal favorite. These, and other presentations, allow for score keeping and racking up points which makes it even more exciting.

Even more stimulating are the games that allow more than one person to play and compete against other players. This competition can be for one session or several, and last for an indefinite period. By presetting the number of sessions it is easy to see who can obtain the highest score within a time limit.

The presentation of the new Wii game has been especially popular. This type of program allows the player to assume a part in actions on the screen. As in tennis, for example, it appears that you are actually hitting the ball.

These Wii games allow as many as four players to participate when it is set in a multi-layer mode. This participation makes it an exciting experience and the competition can quickly become fierce. Being able to pit your skill against some one else is exciting. It is expected that these videos will become even more popular as new games are developed.

There are many Super Mario Bros. Games available, covering a wide range of subjects. If you are thinking of making a purchase you might like to go online to one of the sites that offers 'free' game play. In this way you can try several and see which ones you want to put in your permanent home collection. The advancement of these videos has come a long way from the original Donkey Kong and it is now possible to have hours of fun either alone or in the company of others. These are excellent gifts and suitable for both young and older people.
