{{work}}

 

 

Undoubtedly the most recognizable video game franchise of all time, and centerpiece of [[Nintendo (Creator)|Nintendo]]'s gaming empire. It was created by [[Shigeru Miyamoto (Creator)|Shigeru Miyamoto]], and popularized the [[Platform Game]].

In addition to the major games, Mario has appeared in dozens of other [[Nintendo]] games, including a random appearance as referee in ''Mike Tyson's [[Punch Out]]'' and as a painting in ''[[The Legend of Zelda a Link To The Past]]'' and has appeared on every Nintendo platform (except the Pokémon Mini and Color TV Game), including the ill-fated Virtual Boy (in ''Mario's Tennis'' and ''Mario Clash'').

* [[Aborted Arc]]: Throughout ''[[Super Princess Peach (Video Game)|Super Princess Peach]]'', there are little cutscenes that develop Perry's character a bit, showing that he was once a Toad turned into a parasol... this has absolutely no point beyond trivial [[Character Development]]. To put things in perspective, in the last of these, Perry says, entirely in parentheses, "Grandpa... I've decided to stay with the princess for a while. I have this feeling that if I accompany her on this adventure...someday...I'll find you, Grandpa..." This may or may not be a [[Sequel Hook]], depending on the nature of the games as a whole...

* [[Acrofatic]]: Several characters in the various franchises can move a lot quicker than their mass might lead you to believe, most of all our protagonist, Mario. His slightly pudgy plumber's physique belies a leaping ability beyond compare.
