Mario was the first game ever played for a lot of us. He got a lot of players interested in video games and he still does to this day. With new Mario games still being made, it is likely that our children’s first video games will star Mario. When you think of it, Mario is the perfect start for any gamer.

You fall in love quickly at a young age and as your tastes grow, he will grow with you. If become a gamer who prefers racing games, Mario will be waiting for you with a Wii Wheel in his hand. Grow into a gamer who likes RPGs, and Mario will flatten himself and wait for you in all of his 2D glory. Enjoy bringing misery and pain to those you care about? Well, Mario just so happens to have an invitation for you to his party.

Even if you grow into a gamer who does not have time for games anymore, well Mario understands and is available on the 3DS for you to play on the go. Mario is our first and he stayed with us as we grew.

He was the start of a lot of our gaming careers and was the inspiration for a lot of games that came after him. For that, he will always have special places in our hearts. We owe a lot to Mario. Let’s celebrate today and honor Mario for the icon that he is and know that because of him, new gamers are born every day.
