Our favorite Italian plumber first appeared as the player character in the 1981 *Donkey Kong* arcade game, before appearing in how own arcade game *Mario Bros* in 1983. The Mario franchise seems to have formally started in 1985 with the Nintendo Entertainment System game *Super Mario Bros*, which spawned many sequels and spinoffs in a wide range of game types, as well as various shows and movies and comics. The character was named after Nintendo of America landlord Mario Segale. He has since become the mascot of Nintendo, and one of the most iconic video game characters out there.
