Mario™ is the face of videogaming, recognized around the world nearly as much as Mickey Mouse and has appeared in two hundred games, collectively selling over two hundred million units.
He’s launched consoles, salvaged entire industries and led the charge into true 3D gaming. Six out of the top-ten best selling videogames of all time are Mario™ games. He’s gotten his own cartoon series and, unfortunately for those that saw it, a live-action film. He propelled his creator from staff artist to legend, honored in America, knighted in France and in control of his own division at the third largest company in Japan.
Now find out the full story that took an unknown character from “Jumpman” to the superstar legend he is today in IGN’s compelling look into the phenomenon that is….Mario™!.
