Super Mario Bros is one of the first platform videogames released on NES.
The hero is a moustachioed plumber named Mario who has to deliver Princess Peach, prisoner in the castle of the Infamous Bowser. To do this, he will have to go through a lot of levels until finding the boss house.

The game was made by Shigeru Miyamoto and is the first of a long series. Released in 1985, this video game is a true revelation to the genre.

While the first Famicom games were really arcade-impregnated, that is to say playing to beat a score, Super Mario Bros allowed the player to live a true adventure. For the first time, a real story and progression were available.
The series will have a monumental success and after an American hegemony, Nintendo clearly wanted to make it in Japan.

Super Mario Bros will quickly become an emblem for Nintendo, being the most sold videogame in the world with 40 million copies. In the United States, the game sold 30 million copies and in Japan about seven.

Super Mario Bros storyline leans on a fairytale, a beautiful princess, a bad guy and a hero, but Mario is not a common one!

A legendary red dressed plumber and his bro Luigi made the greatness of this game.
No need to say, he is one of the most appreciated character in the video game industry!
