GENERAL MANAGER OF NINTENDO CO., LTD. ANALYSIS AND DEVELOPMENT, GAME PRODUCER
TAKASHI TEZUKA
It’s been over thirty years since Super Mario Bros. first went on sale, and for all those years, Takashi Tezuka has been working on the development of the series. Now he has a message for all of Mario’s fans!
FRIEN ARTO!
When the Famicom [the Japanese release of the Nintendo Entertainment System] went on sale in 1983, | was job-hunting, and a chance word from a friend changed my life forever: “Hey, there’s a company that looks interesting.” That company turned out to be Nintendo.
The Famicom had only just gone on sale, and | hadn't even touched one. | had seen the Game & Watch and was drawn to it because it looked fun and had a simple design. | thought that a company that could design the Game & Watch might be a good place to work, so | applied to Nintendo and got a job,
Normally I'd have had to wait for April 1" to start work at a company like that, as is the norm in Japan. But before | was officially hired, they called me up and asked if I'd work part-time on an arcade game called Punch-Out! . . .
| was drawing pixel art, At the time, Nintendo was so understaffed, they would have hired cats if they thought it would help.
When | officially joined the company, it wasn’t to be on the team building the Game & Watch, but rather in the Creative division [eventually called Nintendo Entertainment Analysis and Development] —a small department with only about six people. We'd design playing cards and user manuals, and every now and then we'd get together with someone from a different division to help work on games. As | remember, it was pretty fun to go to work every day.
One of these people was Shigeru Miyamoto, and that began a game-making partnership that’s lasted for thirty-plus years. The first one we worked on together was Devil World for the Famicom.
| was in charge of pixel art, but | never heard one word about the new game that Miyamoto was plan- ning until after Devil World had already gone on sale.
He said, “For the next one, let’s make a fast-paced game that has levels on the land, in the sea, and in the air, and let's do it with large characters!” “Large characters” actually meant a character just sixteen by thirty-two pixels. At the time, “small characters” were half that size, at sixteen by sixteen pixels. Those were more commonplace.
So we started testing large characters on the screen and seeing how they moved, and the feedback we got was extremely positive. That’s when we started Calling this large character “Super Mario,” and that was the official start to the project.
At the time, Nintendo's building was very close to a temple called Toufukuji, which is famous for the color of the leaves in autumn. We entrusted the programming of Super Mario Bros, to a company called SRD, and Nintendo set up a room for them. Unfortunately the room was just some extra space between floors, and the place felt more like a low-ceilinged storeroom.
There were seven members in the core group. The director was Miyamoto, | was his assistant, and the guy in charge of sound was Koji Kondo, who joined the company at the same time | did. By the way, one person who worked for SRD, Toshihiko Nakago, went on to develop both the Mario and Zelda series.
When we started to develop the game, first Miyamoto and | would design the levels together. We'd draw them on huge sheets of graph paper, and the next morning, we'd deliver them to SRD. By that evening, they'd be finished programming it. At that point Miyamoto and | would play the heck out of it, make changes, put all of our notes and instructions in writing, and hand it all to them the next morning. Every single day was a repeat of that. We'd be there pretty much every day until the lights went off and we had to go home. Miyamoto would always be in the office even later than | was.
f SHIITAKE MUSHROOMS
THE VINE THAT LEADS TO THE SKY!
The aspect of the Super Mario Bros. development that really excited me was the “air” part of the “land, sea, air” concept. | couldn't help but think that it would be so fun to play in the sky! It was then that we considered having Mario board a cloud and do battle in the air,
This may sound obvious, but it meant we needed enemies who were also flying through the air. But because of the very small capacity of the Famicom game cartridges at the time, we had almost no room to add new characters. So we decided to simply add wings to a character that already existed. That's how Koopa Paratroopa was born—by giving wings to the Koopa Troopa.
We came up with a trial product, but unfortunately, it wasn't any fun at all. It was too much like a shooting game, and it didn’t have the feel we wanted from our Mario game. And so we did away with the sky aspect, but the desire to do adventures in the sky remained with me.
At one point | said to Miyamoto, “What if we did a Jack and the Beanstalk kind of thing, where Mario can climb a beanstalk up into the sky? I’d love that!” | was just tossing out ideas, but Miyamoto made a level where Mario could climb a vine into the sky. He reused some elements he'd already created and constructed a level with them. | thought that no one else in the world but he could do that.
It’s easy to throw out ideas, but to be able to build a game you can actually play from those ideas is crucial. | had joined the company two years prior, but I think it was at that moment that I learned just what was important in game design.
One more thing | wanted to talk about was when | was doing pixel art for the Goombas. When we first started working on the game, the original enemy that you’re supposed to meet is the Koopa Troopa. From our stand- point, the Koopa Troopas were pretty easy to defeat. You jump on them and they vanish into their shells. But for people who were just starting, this was extremely hard, So we thought we would need an easier enemy, one you could just jump on to destroy, so that people just starting the game could easily defeat them. We were nearing the completion of the game when Goombas showed up for the first time. By the way, their Japanese name is Kuribo because they look a little like chestnuts [kuri in Japanese], but in actuality, they’re shiitake mushrooms.
It was really a lot of things coming together that led to the development of the original Super Mario, and we had plenty of rough patches after that, but we've always given it our creative all when we are making the games. | honestly feel that I’ve been just concentrating on these games, and before | knew it, thirty years had passed. At the same time, it feels like a long time, and I’ve been fortunate to play in a world that defies age demographics. It’s made me avery happy man.
MARIO’S ADVENTURES ARE FAR FROM OVER!
The latest game in the series is Super Mario Maker, which went on sale in 2015. This game could only come about because of the Wii U GamePad. Now that I’ve seen what the Wii U can do, | really want to do a new version of Mario Paint like we had for the Super Famicom [SNES]. | was thinking how fun it would be to draw some cool pictures using the stylus that comes with the Wii U GamePad. There were a lot of special circumstances that prevented Mario Paint from being fully realized on the Super Famicom; Super Mario Maker was pro- grammed with a lot of the ideas from Mario Paint in mind.
For example, the cursor has become a Cat’s paw. As | said before, when | first got some part-time work from Nintendo, they probably would have hired cats if they thought it would help. Well, this time we really have a “cat” working for us. Actu- ally, | have ten cats at home, and | brought two
of them to work and had them photographed. Of course, there are a lot of other interesting ideas in the game aside from cats’ paws. | think you'll find a lot of things in Super Mario Maker that you will not find in any other Super Mario game!
After thirty years of making Mario games, Mario has come to be something of a friend to me. I've gone through a lot
of games with the purpose of making Mario a more likable character, but there were so many times when it was Mario who made me more courageous. So it’s my intention to keep on hanging out with Mario. Thirty years is just a checkpoint along the way.
Finally, | want to show my appreciation to all of you who have spent your time playing with Mario. Truly —thank you! His adventures are just starting, and we hope you and Mario will be adventuring together for a long time to come.

Hidden among the pipes are ones that will lead Mario to a bonus areas filled with coins. Sometimes pipes will lead to water areas, and sometimes they're hidden shortcuts!
There are vines hidden in World 2-1 and World 3-1 that Mario can use to climb into the clouds. These lead to bonus areas where Mario can ride a platform and collect coins. There are a total of five vines, but the one in World 4-2 leads to a Warp Zone.
MODE! Once Mario rescues Princess HARD) Toadstool, you can begin a new adventure in Hard Mode. Goombas become Buzzy Beetles, all of the enemies move faster, and the platforms get smaller. All of this combined makes the game that much harder. Also, if you press the B Button on the title screen, you can choose between worlds.
There's a hidden 1-Up Mushroom in the first area of each world, which can be quite difficult to obtain. If you use a warp to get to the world or lose alll your lives and get a “Game Over,” you won't be able to find the 1-Up Mushroom, There are also hidden conditions.

There are two hidden areas where you can find Warp Pipes to places farther on in the game. The first is in World 1-2. If you run over the ceiling past the pipe that leads up to the goal, you'll reach the Warp Zone, There are three pipes warp- ing to Worlds 2 through 4. Another is in World 4-2. If you run along above the ceiling, you can warp to World 5. If you find the hidden Warp Zone at the top of a hidden vine, you can get to Worlds 6 through 8.
On the steps, if you keep jumping on a Koopa Troopa or Buzzy Beetle shell, you can get continuous 1-Ups. Try standing on asstep, and when the shelled fiends are one step away, jump on them. If you can time it right, you can keep bouncing, getting yourself a series of 1-Ups. This is easiest on levels such as World 3-1 and World 7-1.

You'll pass through the wall arriving 1 at the Warp Zone area. If you can get Mario into a pipe before the words appear, World -1 comes on the sc: and you enter a unusual water course—the legendary “Minus World.” When using the Famicom Disk System version, the courses are different.

In levels like World 6-1, if you hit the bot- tom-left brick block from below, the Spiny transforms into a Koopa Troopa. In the same way, hitting the leftmost block in the middle of World 1-1, it transforms a Goomba into a Koopa Troopa.
Instruction Booklet
( 1986 © SUPER MARIO BROS. THE LOST LEVELS ) wr
*This text is translated from the Japanese instruction booklet.
The Mushroom Kingdom was a peaceful place until the day that Bowser used his powerful magic and invaded, along with his clan of huge turtles. Bowser’s magic turned the harmless mushroom people into rocks, bricks, and plants, and the Mushroom Kingdom fell into ruin.
The only one who can break the magic spell and revive the mushroom people is the Mushroom Kingdom's Princess Toadstool, but she’s now a prisoner of the Koopa king.
But Mario has stood up and raised his hand, ready to defeat the members of the turtle clan, rescue Princess Peach, and once again restore peace to the Mushroom Kingdom.
The Mario you see on TV is you. You are the only one who can complete this quest!

{ THE LOST LEVELS
Released in Japan in 1986, this game was the second in- stallment of the Super Mario series. American audiences did get to experience an updated version of this game with the 1993 release of Super Mario All-Stars for the SNES, although that version featured improved graphics and gameplay. An unmodified release didn’t occur in America until 2014, when the game was released for the Wii U Virtual Console in its original form. For these reasons, we've left the images and details in this section true to the original Japanese release, save for one thing—we’ve kept the American title Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels to avoid confusion with what we know as Super Mario Bros. 2.

This dangerous mushroom is hidden in ? Blocks and can cause damage if Mario touches it, Additionally, it looks different underground than it does above ground. In the underground courses, the Poisonous Mushroom can be easily mistaken for a 1-Up Mushroom, Because the Poisonous Mushroom is an item, it will disappear when you produce another item.
Bloobers usually chase Mario when he's swimming through the water, but in this game, they appear in aboveground
courses. They chase Mario through the air in just the same way that they do in the water. In this case, you can defeat them by jumping on them, so they're much easier to deal with.
Red Pirana Plants ¢ appear forthe firsttime §
in this game! Even when Mario is standing right next to the pipe, they still appear, so they're a bit more troublesome an enemy to deal with. Now, these red-colored enemies have become commonplace in the Super Mario series.

You start with Mario having only one life left, and if you make it all the way through, you get an onscreen message from the staff!
After clearing course W8-4 and returning to the title screen, you'll see a number of stars to the uppor-tight of the logo. If there are more than eight stars, you can take up the challenge of a parallel world (WA through WD) by pressing the Start Button while holding down the A Button.

THESE BLOCKS ARE A BREEZE
If you place Mario on top of blocks when the wind blows, and re- peatedly press the left button on the +Control Pad, Mario can enter the blocks and go through them. Depending on where you are, this can be very helpful,
When you reach the flag- pole, if the number of coins on your counter has matching numbers, and if the last digit of the timer also matches that num- ber when Mario grabs the pole, then you get a 1-Up. As a bonus, the fireworks also go off!
If Mario is all the way to the left side of the screen, the ham- mers might hit him, but they don't do any damage (but a tackle by the Hammer Brothers will hurt).
Upon reaching the flag- pole, if the last digit of your accumulated coins
atches the last digit of the timer, fireworks are sent up. If the matching numbers are odd, three fireworks go up. If the matching numbers are even, six fireworks go up.
TIGHT SPACES
If the far-left side of the screen has a wall (or blocks or pipes) with just enough space for Mario to get in between, Mario gets pulled in, By jumping, you can move Mario upward, and if there’s a ceiling, pressing and holding left on the +Control Pad while doing a number of jumps will reveal that he can pass right through the wall,

& INTRODUCTION
| | | | | instruction booklet, One evening, Mario had a strange dream. He dreamt of a long, long stairway leading up to a door. As soon as the door opened, he was confronted with a world he had never seen before spreading out as far as his eyes could see. When he strained his ears to listen, he heard a faint voice saying “Welcome to ‘Subcon,’ the land of dreams. We have been cursed by Wart and we are completely under his evil spell. We have been awaiting your arrival. Please defeat Wart and return Subcon to its natural state. The curse Wart has put on you in the real world will not have any effect upon you here. Remember, Wart hates vegetables. Please help us!” At the same time this was heard, a bolt of lightning flashed before Mario’s eyes. Stunned, Mario lost his footing and tumbled up- side down. He awoke with a start to find himself
2D side-scrolling action game takes place in the rich dream world called Subcon. The world-view and system are a little different from the standard Super Mario Bros. game, and this title acts as a kind of side-story. The action of this game comes from rooting out both enemies and vegetables in a “har- vesting action game.” You can’t jump on enemies to defeat them in this game—instead, you harvest vegetables and use them to attack. This game also introduces a life system different from the other 2D scrolling action games.

sitting up in his bed. To clear his head, Mario talked to Luigi, Toad, and Princess about the strange dream he had. They decide to go to anearby mountain for a picnic. After arriv- ing at the picnic area and looking at the scenery, they see a small cave nearby. When they enter this cave, to their great surprise, there’s a stairway leading up, up and up. It is exactly like the one Mario saw in his dream. They all walk together up the stairs and at the top, find a door just like the one in Mario’s dream. When Mario and his friends, in fear, open the door, to their surprise, the world that he saw in his dream spreads out before them!
Four characters share in this adventure! Mario, Luigi, Princess Toadstool, and Toad each have different rates of dashing, jumping, carrying, and pulling. Since you can choose your character at the beginning of each course, you can choose the char- acter best suited to face each particular obstacle and enemy.
Released in 1988 for the Nintendo Entertainment System, Super Mario Bros. 2 was based on the game Yume Kojo Doki-Doki Panic (“Dream Factory Heart-Racing Panic”). This was the second game in the Super Mario series for American audiences, but in Japan, it was the sixth. After becoming massively popular in the US, it was finally reverse-imported to Japan in 1992. However, as there was already a game entitled Super Mario Bros. 2 in Japan—what we know as Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels— this game was released as Super Mario USA.

When Mario throws a magic potion and creates a door, he enters Sub-Space, a dark, mirrored version of the dream world, Goins and 1-Up Mush- rooms can be found there. The location of mushrooms is pre- determined, so you have to be clever about where to open the door. By the way, the background music in Sub-Space Is the same as the standard above-ground music in Super Mario Bros.
The POW Block, which made its appearance in the NES version of Super Mario Bros., reappears here as a usable item. It hasn't changed much—it still takes out all the on-screen enemies in a single blow. It later reappears in New Super Mario Bros. 2, Super Mario 3D World, and many others.

Once upon a time, there was a peaceful world called Sarasaland. In this world there were four kingdoms named Birabuto, Muda, Easton, and Chai. One day, the skies of Sarasaland were suddenly covered by a huge black cloud. From a crack in this cloud, the unknown space monster Tatanga emerged to try to conquer Sarasaland. Tatanga hypnotized the people of all the kingdoms so that he could control them in any way he liked. In this way he took over Sarasaland. Now, he wants to marry Princess Daisy of Sarasaland and make her his queen.
Mario came to know of these events, and has started on a journey to the Chai Kingdom where Princess Daisy is held captive, in order to restore peace to Sarasaland.
Can Mario defeat Tatanga, release the people from his interstellar hypnosis, and rescue Princess Daisy? It’s all up to you and Mario's skill. Go for it, Mario!!

After saving the Mushroom Kingdom from Bowser and the rest of the Koopas in Super Mario 3, Mario and Luigi needed to recuperate from their adventures. Together they agreed that the best place to vacation was a magical place called Dinosaur Land.
But while Mario and Luigi reclined on the beach fora and, along with Luigi and Yoshi, relaxing nap, Princess Toadstool disappeared, apparently seized by evil forces. After searching for hours for their missing friend, Mario and Luigi came upon an enormous “This may help you,” Yoshi said. “Some say it has egg in the forest.

A side-scrolling 2D action game that went on sale at the same time as the Super Nintendo Entertainment System, or SNES, this adventure takes place in the lush, sprawling Dinosaur Land! Joining Mario on this epic journey is a brand new friend, a dinosaur named Yoshi. The SNES has a power-up for both graphics and music, which give you a far richer and more vivid environment. It also includes a backup feature that allows you to save your games mid-adventure!

“starry” treasures to be found in far-reaching places. You'll need to search all areas to find out what kinds of treasures are there...in Super Mario World.
The setting for this adventure is Dinosaur Land, a weird and wonderful island that could very well be alive. Mountains rise higher, bridges suddenly appear, and as your adventure pro- ceeds, the lay of the land changes. In this game, there aren't any specific “worlds.” Instead, Mario wanders through a large island with interconnected areas like the Donut Plains and Vanilla Dome. Along the way, Mario may sometimes find keys that open up paths to secret goals. As these routes are uncov- ered, you can chart a path to Bowser’s Castle that is all your own!
This game marks the first appearance of Mario’s new friend and fellow adventurer, Yoshi! Acting as Mario and Luigi's trusty steed, he can eat enemies and fruit by lashing out his long tongue. Yoshi has since appeared in many of Mario’s adven- tures. He also became a very popular character who starred in his own spinoffs, such as Yoshi and Yoshi's Story.

@ AND MOR
Unforgettable scenes, updated features, and the first appearance of a brand- new friend, Yoshi! Here are some of the most noteworthy highlights from the game.
Mario's adventure kicks off at Yoshi's home. A message block lets you know that he's off on a journey, but the first time you actually see Yoshi is on Yoshi's Island Course 2.
Yoshi doesn't accompany Mario into ghost houses, fortresses, or castles. He patiently waits for his friend outside.
In this game, getting a view of Mario's rear end— especially when he's climbing chain-link fences—reveals that there are pockets on his overalls.
If Mario crosses the goal tape at the very top, he gets fifty bonus stars and a 3-Up. When he crosses the goal with more than a hundred bonus stars, the bonus game starts. Whenever three of the same image line up either vertically, horizontally, or diagonally, he receives a 1-Up Mushroom.
Goorin on TWO)
\
This is the first game that depicts Koopas walking on two legs. When Mario jumps on them, the Koopas are ejected from their shells. This game also features four shell colors, and each has special properties. There's a lot to learn about Koopas in this game!
If Mario defeats Lakitu by hitting him from below with an empty Koopa shell, the Lakitu falls, but the cloud remains. Then he can board the cloud and ride on it. This feature was passed down to the New Super Mario Bros. series.
*) Like all the Boo Buddies, the Big Boo gots really shy when Mario turns to face him. But if he keeps
looking, for just a moment, Big Boo will lower his hands and glance to see what he is doing.
HEBIGIES, et
Upon finding the hidden goal in Star World Course 5, Mario can go to an even harder Special World. If you wait a while on the Special World map, you begin to hear a new arrangement of the original Super Mario Bros. above-ground background music.
When you look at the title screen of the
game, the course from Star World Course 5 is the course that plays there. You don't see this from just looking at the title screen, but the second half of the course is filled with Pokeys.
THE WRIGGLER STEP SEQUENCE
In the Forest of Illusion, there are a series of Koopas and Wrigglers. It Mario steps on the Wigglers enough, not only do their expressions change, so do the sprites representing 1-Ups. This action gives you additional lives jam
and increases
your coin score
at the same time,
P Switches normally vanish when Mario steps on them, However, if Yoshi accompanies Mario, he can quickly eat the P Switch imme: diately after Mario steps on it, but before it disappears. Yoshi can then spit a fresh P Switch out, ready to be switched again.
|
THREE IN A ROW
If Mario can change the blocks in the bonus area so that all three are reading “O” marks, you get a 1-Up Mushroom. It's hard to get it right by attacking them the regular way, but if Mario uses a cape twirl attack from the left side of the block, the correct symbol appears,
Clearing the hidden goal in the Donut Plains Ghost House opens the way to the Donut Plains Top Secret Area, It's a small, one-screen course with nothing more than some Prize Blocks containing a Yoshi and power-up items. Simple, yet effective!
Hh hy inci i
nt

When you clear all the courses in the Special World, you gain access to the secret world. The colors of Dinosaur Land change, and some of the enemy graphics change, too. The Koopas are all wearing masks that look like Mario!
Here are some techniques to help you get through Dinosaur Land! The button instructions refer to the SNES, for which the game was originally intended.
When Mario goes through certain areas or makes a full revolution around certain blocks, suddenly a 1-Up Mushroom will appear out of nowhere. There are

The number next to your save file Is the number of goals you've been through, including both normal and hidden goals. Courses with both a regular goal and a hidden goal get you two more. After going through all of the goals, the highest number you can get is 96.
While Mario is flying with the cape, you can press the X Button (or if you're flying using the X Button, then press the Y Button) to change Mario's direction, Additionally, if you press the B Button, it will slow Mario's flight every time you press the button.
MARIO’S JUGGLING Ai
Mario can carry items and climb vines, but usually not both at the same time! However, by throwing an item into the air and climbing a vine while holding the Y Button, he can accomplish this feat. Mario will catch the item and climb the vine while holding it.
If Mario is holding items such as a shell ora P Switch when he crosses the Giant Gate, they change to a power-up
item. What they change into depends on how Mario is powered up at the time. Additionally, if Mario goes through the Giant Gate as Balloon Mario, an item appears out of thin air.

Danger! Danger!
While | was away crusading against the mystery alien Tatanga in Sarasaland, an evil creep took over my castle and put the people of Mario Land under his control with a magic spell. This intruder goes by the name of Wario. He has been jealous of my popularity ever since we were boys, and has tried to steal my castle many times. It seems he has succeeded this time.
Wario has scattered the 6 Golden Coins from my castle all over Mario Land. These Golden Coins are guarded
by those under Wario's spell. Without these coins, we can’t get into the castle to deal with Wario.
We must collect the 6 coins, attack Wario in the castle, and save everybody!

Usually Luigi is lost in the shadow of his big brother, Mario. But that all changed with a game called Luigi's Mansion, which debuted in 2001 for the Nintendo GameCube console. This time around, Mario is lured and captured inside a creepy mansion estate, so Luigi must face his fears to go on an ever-expanding adventure. Luigi is armed with a ghost vacuum cleaner—the Poltergust 3000—a weapon developed by Professor Elvin Gadd, the ghost scientist, Fun fact: it was Professor E, Gadd who developed “F.L.U.D.D.” for Mario in the Nintendo GameCube game, Super Mario Sunshine.
In 2013, the next game in the series, Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon, debuted for the Nintendo 3DS system. 2013 marked thirty years since Luigi was introduced, and to commemorate it, he starred in New Super Luigi U for the Wii U console as the main character.

In this 2D scrolling action game, it was up to Peach to rescue Mario and Luigi—turns out, it was their turn to be kidnapped by Bowser! In her great efforts to rescue Mario and Luigi, she commanded her emotional powers, or Vibes, in order to power-up. She faced the ever-expanding adventure with her parasol partner, Perry.

The first time Toad was the main character of a story was in 1994 when Wario's Woods was released for the NES and SNES. It was a puzzie-action game in which Toad had to fight monsters to save the Peaceful Woods from the iron clutches of Wario. Toad makes good use of the experience he eared in Super Mario Bros. 2, using his abilities to throw enemies, bombs, and other things.
Captain Toad—not to be confused with Toad himself—made his first appearance in Super Mario Galaxy, but he became the main character in the 2014 Wii U adventure game Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker. in it, Captain Toad and Toadette wandered through what appeared to be miniature garden dioramas in search of Power Stars. Its story is closely connected to Super Mario 3D World, and in certain portions the power-ups and
enemies are the same.

In Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins, Mario's castle was stolen by a guy he'd known since childhood— Wario. The sequel, Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3, was re- leased in 1994; at that point, Wario took his place as the lead character of the series. After that, it came to be called the Wario Land series. In these games, Wario chases after money and adventure. In 2003's WarioWare, Inc: Mega MicrogameS! for Game Boy Advance, Wario made himself the president of his ‘own company, WarioWare, Inc. As a result, WarioWare became a series of games featuring all kinds of plots where Wario tries to get his hands on more and more money.

Will Princess Toadstool be kidnapped again? Is there no end to the constant feuding between Mario and Bowser?
“Mario, please come to the castle. I've baked a cake for you. Yours truly, Princess Toadstool.” “Wow, an invitation from Peach! I'll head out right away. I hope she can wait for me!”
Mario is so excited to receive the invitation from the Princess, who lives in the Mushroom Castle, that he quickly dresses in his best and leaves right away.
“Hmmm, something's not quite right here . . It’s so quiet...”
Shaking off his uneasy premonition, Mario steps into the silent castle, where he is greeted by the gruff words, “No one’s home! Now scram! Bwa, ha, ha.”
The sound seems to come from everywhere.
“Who's there?! I've heard that voice somewhere before...”
Mario begins searching all over the castle. Most of the doors are locked, but finding one open, he peeks inside, Hanging on the wall is the largest painting he has ever seen, and from behind the painting comes the strangest sound that he has ever heard
“| think | hear someone calling, What secrets does this painting hold?”
Without a socond thought, Mario jumps at the painting. As ho is drawn into it, another world opens before his very eyes.
MARIO IN THE THIRD DIMENSION Super Mario 64 is the first 3D action game in the series, and was a launch title for the Nintendo 64 console. The analog Control Stick opened up new options for Mario’s movements. This game also greatly expanded the types of actions in Mario's repertoire, with new maneuvers like the triple jump and wall kick. Anoth-
er milestone: this is the very first game to include Mario's voice!

And so begins the grandest of all adventures!
Once inside the painting, Mario finds himself in the midst of battling Bob-ombs. According to the Bob-omb Buddies, someone . . . or some- thing . . . has suddenly attacked the castle and stolen the “Power Stars.” These stars protect the castle; with the stars in his control, the beast plans to take over the Mushroom Castle.
To help him accomplish this, he plans to convert the residents of the painting world into monsters as well. If nothing is done, all those monsters will soon begin to overflow from inside the painting.
“A plan this maniacal, this cunning . . . this, must be the work of Bowser!”
Princess Toadstool and Toad are missing, too. Bowser must have taken them and sealed them inside the painting. Unless Mario recovers the Power Stars immediately, the inhabitants of this world will become Bowser's army.
“Well, Bowser's not going to get away with it, not as long as I'm around!”
Stolen Power Stars are hidden throughout the painting world, Use your wisdom and strength to recover the Power Stars and restore peace to the Mushroom Castle.

Do you remember these iconic scenes? There’s so much Mario can do in this game, so here are just a few highlights.
Mario's head appears on the title screen, and you can stretch it! This was designed to help players become familiar with the Nintendo 64 controller.
If you leave Mario alone for about thirty seconds, he sits down and dozes off, but he doesn't sleep on courses with cold weather. If you wait even longer, Mario lays down, fast asleep.

There's a yellow rabbit in the basement of Mushroom Castle, It runs away as you get close, but if you chase and catch it, you'll get a Power Star. The rabbit is named MIPS, after the Nintendo 64's microprocessor (“Microprocessor without
Interlocked Pipeline Stages”).
Mario’s cap can be stolen by Klepto the Condor in Shifting Sand Land, blown off by the wind on Snowman’s Mountain, and stolen by Ukkiki on Tall, Tall Mountain. Mario takes more damage when he is hit bareheaded, so make sure to find his stolen hat before you leave the course.

In the original Japanese release, if you collect more than 1,000 coins in the “Bowser in the Dark World” course, an M appears in your life counter, This means that the counter has flipped! Now, grabbing a 1-Up Mushroom will decrease the number of lives that you have, and if you lose a life the counter increases.
HAT IN HAND
In Snowman’s Land, if Mario teleports after losing his cap, an extra cap appears on the ground. When he picks up the cloned cap, you see a rare sight: Mario walking with the cap in his hand.

The sports game that Mario has played the most is golf, The first game he starred in was the 1987 game Family Computer Golf: Japan Course for the Famicom Disk System. They even had an event where players could send their high scores through a data communications device, a “Disk Fax” in stores, so they could compare scores from all over Japan. This progressed to 2014's Mario Golf: World Tour for Nintendo 3DS where huge toumaments could be held over the internet. Mario's game has evolved with a move from a bird's-eye view to the 3D screen and the use of items for his shots. The new games have also incorporated the
meter that helps the player determine the power and impact of
a golf shot, tracing an unbroken line from Mario's original game.

In the long history of Mario, there have been ‘only two Mario baseball games, but be- tween the two, more than fifty characters have appeared. Sure, you have Mario and Bowser, but Toadsworth, Pianta, Monty Mole, Dry Bones, and many others have stepped up to the plate. You can choose your team from your favorite Super Mario family characters. Each character has different strengths and weaknesses, and if you don't choose the batting lineup and positions carefully, you're not going to play a very effective game of baseball!
The first time Mario appeared in a tennis game was in the NES game, Tennis, but only as the referee. Then in 1995, Mario's Tennis came out for the Virtual Boy, which was the first time Mario appeared as a player. He had changed his overalls for tennis gear and played with other members of the Super Mario
family. In the year 2000, Mario Tennis debuted for the Nintendo 64 game system. Not only did it feature characters like Daisy and Birdo, but it also included the very first appearance of Waluigi. It included a total of sixteen different characters of the Super Mario family, the most of any game up to that time. Mario Tennis Open was released for the Nintendo 3DS in 2012 and featured the star character, Luma.

In 2005, Mario made his first venture into the
world of soccer with Super Mario Strikers for
Nintendo GameCube, Because of its rough
play, it got a reputation as being a “fighting”
‘soccer game. Mario abandoned his overalls and instead
donned a uniform, and with his Super Strike—among
other eye-catching attacks—he really threw himself into
the game of no-holds-barred soccer, He also appeared in
Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games, which was more of a standard soccer game.
In Mario Hoops 3-on-3, a 2006 release for Nintendo DS, Mario decided to try his hand at basketball. The player could choose from twenty-one characters, some even coming from the Final Fantasy series, to join your team to play 3-on-3 rules for basketball. In 2005, the Nintendo GameCube version of NBA Street V3 included some Super Mario family characters to play games of street bas- ketball alongside of NBA players. Mario also upped his basketball game in Mario Sports Mix. This
game featured Mario playing volleyball, hockey, and dodgeball all on the same disc,

Mario, Peach, and an entourage of Toads have come to Isle Delfino to relax and unwind. At least, that’s their plan .. . but when they arrive, they find things have gone horribly wrong...

Even though they came for vacation, the Mushroom Kingdom crew get caught up ina crime. As Mario tries to find the true culprit, he also must gather up items called Shrine Sprites. The key to the mystery comes in the form of someone (or something) that looks just like Mario. The dramatic story unfolds with a lot of movie-grade

What? But . .. that sounds like Mario!?
The islanders are saying that Mario’s mess has polluted the island and caused their energy source, the Shine Sprites, to vanish.
Now the falsely accused Mario has promised to clean up the island, but... how?
Never fear! FLUDD, the latest invention from Gadd Science, Inc., can help Mario tidy up the island, take on baddies, and lend a nozzle in all kinds of sticky situations.
Can Mario clean the island, capture the villain, and clear his good name? It’s time for another Mario adventure to get started!
Your partner in this adventure is the wa- ter pump Mario straps to his back. FLUDD sprays water, propelling Mario around the world and cleaning up the thick goop polluting the island. Barring a brief appearance in Super Mario 64, Yoshi appears for his first 3D adventure.

Mario carries FLUDD on his back throughout his adventure to clean up the polluted island.
FLUDD shoots water forward with the normal nozzle, but there are three other types of nozzles that can be switched out, too. You can attach a secondary nozzle in addition to the squirt nozzle; it can be switched out with a nozzle box.
This nozzle fires forward. It can clean up pollution and also attack enemies. This nozzle is always installed on FLUDD.
ROCKET NOZZLE ITEM
This nozzle blasts water downward, sending Mario straight up high in the sky. It takes some time to charge before it can blast off.

Yoshi hatches out of an egg. He can eat enemies by capturing them with his long tongue. He can also spit out juice, which has similar
effects as FLUDD. Depending on the fruit he eats, he'll change into
three different colors, and certain enemies react differently depend- ing on his color and the type of juice he spits. If too much time Passes or he spits out too much juice, his stomach meter can run to empty. In that state, he may vanish if he falls into the water.

Isle Delfino, the setting for this Peach wears a sleeveless dress THE DOLPHIN’ adventure, is in the shape of a and her hair is tied up in a pony- jumping dolphin. Its name means tail. After this game, she appears with a ponytail for sports dolphin as well. Sometimes you games such as Mario Kart and Mario Tennis. can see over hills or across the
water to other areas of the island. You can see Ricco Harbor from the Bianco Hills, and you can see Sirena
Beach from Pinna Park. Throughout the game, Bowser ‘BOWSER | Jr. does a lot of vandalizing—
and creates a lot of enemies in the process! As a result, their
2 design is slightly different than
in other games in the series. Yoshi also vanishes when he falls into the water for the same reason,
FLUDD comes from Gadd INS TRANGE Science, Incorporated. Its OUD IMAN] inventor, E. Gadd, is the same guy who made Luigi's weapons in the Nintendo GameCube game Luigi's Mansion. Bowser Jr. also mentions that he got his equipment from a strange old man in a white coat, so it's possible that his magic paintbrush came from the same company.
There are secret courses GECREN hidden in some areas. As COURSES you enter, Shadow Mario
steals FLUDD, so Mario has to find his way to the Shine
Sprite without his watery companion’s help. But after Mario has cleared the course, FLUDD reappears on his back so he can take on the next mission with its help.
When you register as the user of FLUDD, an interesting profile of Mario comes up on screen. When you look closely at the Japanese text, it has some
interesting info on Mario. You'll see, “Favorite food: spaghetti, least favorite food: poison mushrooms, weight: it's a secret, height: unknown, number of previous jobs: unknown," and more,
When Mario has taken enough damage that he's close to losing a life, he’s more exhausted and his voice changes to match.
At the start of the game, the vandal's identity is a
mystery. But when his identity is finally revealed, it turns out to be Bowser’s son, Bowser Jr.! Apparently, Bowser told his son that Mario was a bully who kidnapped Peach. This game is Bowser Jr’s first appearance, and the design of his scarf is different than what it became for later games.
Shadow Mario is always running around vandalizing Plaza Delfino. He will grab your Yoshi eggs or FLUDD power-ups, but you can stop him and get them back by spraying enough water on him.
This is the first time in a 3D action game where Mario can
actually ride Yoshi, Using fruit juice
and his long tongue as weapons, he joins Mario for the adven- ture.

Emergency News Flash!
Princess Peach has been kidnapped! While enjoying a nice walk with Mario, the beloved ruler of the Mushroom Kingdom was whisked away by an unknown assailant. How could this happen with Mario around?
According to eyewitnesses, the walk was going swimmingly when Mario and the princess spotted smoke billowing out of Peach's Castle. The mustachioed marvel immediately jumped into action and sped off toward the fire. The moment he left her side, the princess vanished!
Who's behind Princess Peach's disappearance? Who's behind the attack on Peach's Castle? Are the two incidents related?
Didn't Bowser Jr. once think that Princess Peach might be his mother?
Looks like Mario's going to need all the Mega Mushrooms he can find to get to the bottom of this mess!
In addition to the main story mode where Mario rescues Princess Peach, there are two multiplayer modes available through wireless connection.
After Super Mario Land 2:6 Golden Coins, there wasn't another 2D side-scrolling action game starring Mario for fourteen years. In New Super Mario Bros., Mario returns to the original for- mat to battle Goombas and Koopa Troopas across eight worlds in this ever-expanding adventure. The controls are the +Control Pad and two buttons, so of course you can still dash and carry ob- jects. Some actions from the

Mario is powered up when you use certain items. If you find another item while he's already powered up,
it goes into your stock
so you can use it later.

From Mega Mario grabbing the Goal Pole to the final battle with Bowser, this itle had a lot of scenes that became the talk of fans everywhere. This game was also the first appearance of Dry Bowser.
-MEMORABUE}
MOMENTS
Bowser is the boss of World 1, and Mario battles him on a bridge above a pool of lava— just like the first Super Mario Bros. game! Press the Skull Switch behind Bowser and see what happens next!
Mega Mario can just trample over enemies and traps, and he even blows the Goal Pole away. Mario's surprised at that, and tilts his head in confusion, But in the end, you get five 1-Ups and clear the course.
Newer wer ewe
Normally, after you clear World 2, you move on to World 3, But if Mini Mario defeats the boss in World 2, you move on to World 4 instead. Similarly, if Mini Mario beats the World 5 boss, you skip ahead to World 7.
Bowser has fallen into the lava lake, and tumed into a skeletal version of himself. From this game onward, Bowser is an even stranger archenemy who
always returns to fight Mario again and again. Dry
Bowser even appears as a player character in Mario Kart Wii, among other games.
Semnememen 657;
Bowser is one of the biggest characters in the game, and your final battle is with him! But Mega Mario can easily crush even Bowser, and he's not affected by the Koopa King's fireballs,
As the credits roll on the lower screen, when you touch the letters, you hear different sounds. And in the upper screen, you see a scene from each of the courses you cleared. If you later clear more courses, they are added to the montage.

After you clear World 8, if you go (FRESH A back to World 1, you'll find a blue PE Toad House. There, you can WALIBA! exchange some of your Star Coins for different wallpapers to
adorn your lower screen. There are five possible wallpapers, including the original one from the start of the game.
You can play as Luigi in the single-player story mode. While you're on the file select screen, if you press both the L and R Buttons, and hold them while you press the A Button, Mario turns into Luigi and you can play him as the main character. Luigi's abilities are the same as Mario's.
When you close the Nintendo DS clamshell during the game, you hear Mario's voice say “Bye-bye!” When you open it again, he says, “It's me, Mario!”
If you let the title screen run without pressing any buttons, after a little while a prologue video starts, Luigi appears from time to time in the video.
When you meet certain conditions, you can unlock spe- cial parts of the game. But how many people fixate on the time remaining when Mario touches the Goal Pole
SHOOT TO NEW WORLDS!
If you find the hidden goals in certain courses, you can open up a hidden route to a warp cannon. Use it to blast yourself from one world to another, There are five possible cannons: Worlds 1 and 2 go to World 5, World 3 goes to World 6, World 4 goes to World 7, and World 5 goes to World 8.
If at the moment you clear a course the last two digits in the timer are the same, a Toad House will appear. The digits 1, 2, and 3 pro- duce red Toad Houses; 4, 5, and 6 create green Toad Houses; and 7, 8, and 9 make orange Toad Houses, Also, the Super Mario Bros, theme will play and the same number of fireworks explode.

The Toads scooped up the Star Bits and brought them to the castle, where they were reborn as a great Power Star. It was a happy time in the Mushroom Kingdom. Then one night Mario received a letter. . .

@ AND MORE
Here are some iconic moments from Mario and Luigi’s quest to collect all 242 Power Stars. Rosalina features quite a lot in this game!
When Mariois |= blasted out into space, he meets Rosalina, the woman who runs the Comet Observatory. They work together as Mario makes his way toward the final battle with Bowser. This game is Rosalina's first appearance, and she later becomes a playable character in games such as Mario Kart Wil and Super Mario 3D World.
When Mario arrives at the library, he finds Rosalina and a number of Lumas. Rosalina reads from a picture book about a Luma and a little girl. As you unlock the pages of the picture book, Mario will be able to go on even more adventures.
If Mario gets too close to Rosalina, there is ‘some sort of bubble protecting her. Star Bits
fired from a distance hit her as if there is no barrier.
Luigi's gotten himself separated from the Toad Brigade, and Mario needs to rescue him. After finding him, he'll hang out in the Garage and help Mario find more Power Stars.
There's a small toy train in a hidden alcove in the Toy Time Galaxy, If you go there when you're not Spring Mario, you can find it.
After gathering thirteen Power Stars, comets fly in and change all the rules! There are five different types, including Daredevil Comets (which force Mario to fight a boss with only one life) and Speedy Comets (which turn some levels into speed runs).
Luigi tries to help Mario collect Power Stars, and he takes it upon himself to go on the hardest missions. During Mario's adventure, every now
and then a letter arrives begging him to go to the place in the photograph and help Luigi. But even if Luigi needs to be rescued . . . he’s already done the hard work of finding the Power Star!

After gathering all three Green Stars, the Comet Observatory’s Planet of Trials opens up. There are three types of trials you can attempt: surfing on a Ray, rolling on a Star Ball, and floating in a bubble.
If Mario's gathered all 120 Power Stars from the main adventure, you see the final cut scene. But after the credits have rolled, there's another scene, too.
RE!
After you've completed the game by collecting all 120 Power Stars, you can have a new adventure with Luigi. He has slightly different abilities than Mario, and you can collect all 120 Power Stars with him instead of Mario. On the missions where he appears, Luigi encounters his double!
TECHNIQUES
OFF LIKE A ROCKET
When you're racing against Cosmic Mario, press the analog stick and Z Button while the countdown is still going to got into a starting crouch. At the moment the race begins, press the A Button for a rocket start!
Here’s a technique that will serve you well when you are racing Cosmic Mario.
C 2007 © SUPER MARIO GALAXY ) i~
If you've collected 120 Power Stars with Luigi, you can experi- ence the Grand Finale! After that, Mario and Luigi have together collected 242 Power Stars and cleared the entire game.
If Mario talks to Captain Toad after finishing the game, you find that all the efforts of the Toad Brigade have been rewarded, and they've been promoted to the Royal Guard.
At the very end of the Grand Finale Galaxy, you receive a letter delivered by a Toad. You have to go into your Wii Message Board to read it, and it comes with a photo attachment (the mes- sages are different for Mario and Luigi).
Today is Princess Peach’s birthday, and the castle is overflowing with presents for the princess.
Mario and Luigi have come to help Peach celebrate her birthday along with the Toads.
That birthday cake is huge! But who sent it? Everyone is shocked as Bowser Jr. and the Koopalings suddenly burst out of the cake!
In the uproar, Princess Peach is kidnapped, and the villains make their getaway in a huge, flying airship.
The castle Toads are all in a panic! Mario, Luigi, Yellow Toad, and Blue Toad all go running after the airship, determined to rescue Princess Peach.
See Raimi = Aside from the main game mode where Mario rescues Princess This is the first 2D action game in the Peach, there are also two multiplayer modes. With these party-type series for multiple players. Mario and Luigi are joined by Yellow Toad and Blue Toad, making for a wide-ranging adven- ture for up to four players. You can help your friends get past tough areas while they’re in a bubble, or you all can defeat a bunch of enemies with cooperative ground pounds. Combine your strengths and set your sights on freeing Princess Peach!

Mario can throw ice balls that freeze any enemy they hit, Once an enemy is
frozen, he can stand on their ice block
or throw it to attack other enemies. Ice balls can also defeat fiery enemies.
Mario's body becomes tiny and light, so he floats longer when he jumps. When he adds a spin jump, he can leap even farther. He can also run on the water's surface. Mini Luigi and the Mini Toads can do the same!

Mario can throw ice balls to attack. He does not slip on ice, and if he dashes and ducks, it becomes a belly slide that can break blocks and defeat enemies. Also, he can swim more quickly underwater.
When a player shakes the Wii Remote, Mario can fly high with a Propeller Jump, and afterward twirl slowly to the ground. Or he can dive swiftly to the round, hitting whatever is below in a spin attack with the force of a ground pound!

Ifyou lose eight lives on one course, a Super Guide Block appears. Hit it, and Luigi comes out to. demonstrate how to clear the course. You can either cancel the guided play in the middle or allow it to get you all the way to the ond.
Toad Houses appear on the World Map, and they can really help Mario and his friends on their adventures. They come in three types: Red, Green, and Star. In the Red and Green Toad Houses you play minigames for items or extra lives. You can get Super Stars in the Star Toad House.
There are enemies wandering around on the World Maps, and if they bump into you, a battle begins. Attack them and avoid their attacks while you grab all the Toad Coins placed on the screen. When you get all the coins, you've cleared the battle. Free the Toad trapped in the treasure chest and he'll give you three Super Mushrooms.
If you go to Peach's Castle in W1, you can use the Star Coins you've collected to see hint movies. You can learn some super skills or on how to get infinite 1-Ups, among other things. There are sixty-five different movies in all that can help you on your adventure.

You've defeated Bowser, and now Mario can be reunited with Princess Peach .. . or so you thought! It tums out that Kamek is in that cage dressed up as Princess Peach. He then makes Bowser giant-sized, and leads you to the actual final battle.
Once you've defeated Bowser and rescued the princess, you can access the special World 9.

you fall below ninety-nine, the hat returns), It's only Mario who removes his cap—Luigi won't lose his lid.
Here we'll impart some tidbits that may help you on your adventure. When you've got all five stars on your save file, you've cleared the entire game.
Some of the courses have a hidden Goal Pole with a red flag (hidden goals). Most of these goals allow you to travel along a different route with a shortcut to the castle, but some of them lead to huge cannons. The cannons will warp you to different worlds. W1 and W2 lead to W5. W3 and W4 lead to W6. WS and W6 lead to WB.
You get stars marked on your save files depending on how much of the game you've completed, If you clear the game all the way through Bowser’s Castle in W8, you get one star. If you can clear all the courses from W1 through W8 (without using Super Guide), you get two stars. Get all the Star Coins from W1 through W8, and you get three stars. Get all the Star Coins from W9, and you get four stars. If you've cleared all of the previous conditions plus opened the way to all the cannons (without using Super Guide), then you get five stars. If you've done it all without ever causing the outlined blocks to appear, all your stars will twinkle!
~ When you play with two or more people and get to the Goal Pole when the
last two digits of the time remaining are the same, you'l cause the fireworks to go off. It also makes a Toad House appear on the first circle of the world on the World Map. The time you grab the pole will determine the type of Toad House. 11 and 22 will get you a Green Toad House. 33, 44, 55, 66, 77, and 88 will get you a Red Toad House. And 99 will get you a Star Toad House.

Ifyou clear a mission with Luigi, a ghost Luigi appears. Touch him, and he'll tell you about hidden items or some super play (a run that features amazing speed or skill) If you collect 9,999 coins or more, then you don’t even need to clear the mission. Ghost Luigi will already be there.
When Mario gets sent into space, he lands on a small planetoid spaceship that seems to be falling apart. With the help of Lubba and a Power Star, 4 it gots a makeover into the Starship Mario, a spacecraft that looks just like Mario's

head! Mario takes the wheel
and heads into the universe. As the adventure continues, Starship Mario takes on new crew and passengers.
While Mario is adventuring in World 3, the Prankster Comet comes along to add a
brand-new mission to a galaxy that's already cleared. The Prankster Comet comes more often when you've gathered up more Comet Medals.
The first adventure, Sky Station Galaxy, begins with a house that looks like Yoshi's home. A signboard says, “Hello! I'm cout helping some friends right now. Sorry if | missed youl” This is a reference to Super Mario World. As it turns out, Yoshi is captured in the galaxy next door, the Yoshi Star Galaxy.
Tho Banktoad on the Starship Mario goes through six different costume changes, depending on how many Star Bits you entrust to him.
You meet Luigi again during your adventures in World 3. After that, whenever you see Luigi on a course and decide to talk to him, Mario can trade places with Luigi and you can play that course as Luigi. Luigi appears in some other scenarios as well.
As Lubbais on the Starship Mario, his dialog with Mario changes depending
on the amount of time you've played and the number of Star Bits you've collected.
Ess
In the very first Shiverburn Galaxy, on the BM tains in the background,
humanoid figures seem to be staring back at you.
When a second
player is playing the Co-Star Luma, the buttons on that player's Wil Remote can give off a range of different sounds.
Mario can still move around freely during the credit scroll section too. He isn’t wearing his cap then. If you win, having collected 120 Power Stars, there's a Bee Mushroom there for you.
Once Mario has defeated Bowser at the end of World 6, Mario's Changing Room opens up the Starship. There, you can switch your player character to Luigi. If you're v
playing the game as Luigi,
the title screen changes
from Mario to Luigi. .
In the Throwback Galaxy in World 6, the “throw- back” is a course made as an homage to Whomp's Fortress from Super Mario 64. The boss, King Whomp, is waiting at the end. Also, Twisty Trials Galaxy has a motif of the secret course found in Rico Harbor from Super Mario Sunshine. You'll also see an homage to Super Mario Galaxy featured in Mario Squared Galaxy and Stone Cyclone Galaxy.
After you've collected 120 stars and are heading toward the ending, a Green Prankster Comet passes through all the galaxies. Now you must find the Green Stars skillfully hidden within each course. Some event scenes turn their letterbox stripes green.
THE FINAL After you've collected all 120
Green Stars, the final galaxy in World S, Grandmaster Galaxy, appears.
After you've cleared the first mission in Grandmaster Galaxy (the Ultimate Test), you must collect all the Comet Medals. Plus, you must entrust Banktoad
with 9,999 Star Bits before the second mission in the galaxy, the Perfect Run, appears. This is the hardest mission in the game—it's the same mission as The Ultimate Test, but now with only one hit point. The mission uses music from Super Mario Galaxy.

Once you've cleared the second mission of the Grandmaster Galaxy (the
Perfect Run), Rosalina is
waiting for Mario on the final planet to express her thanks. If you have collected all 242 Power Stars in the game, Rosalina comes to visit him on Starship Mario.
If you collect 9,999 Star Bits, all the coconuts in the game turn into watermelons (just like the previous game). They look different but work the same way. If you've collected all those Star Bits

‘SNES | AUGUST 1, 1993,
This single SNES cartridge came packed with four remakes! The titles included Super Mario Bros., Super Mario Bros. 2, Super Mario Bros. 3, and Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels. They featured prettier graphics, engaging background music, and a save-game function, The Japanese version of the game (called the Super Mario Collection) made a series of minor changes. For example, if you took damage as Fire Mario or Raccoon Mario, you reverted to Super Mario. These changes had already been made to the previous North American Super Mario Bros, release, and so were maintained for Super Mario All-Stars.

This was a remake of the original Super Mario Bros. In Japan, this was only available for the Nintendo Power system—which was. basically a flash memory cartridge—called a GB Memory Cartridge, onto which low-priced games could be downloaded. For the first ‘time, a fan could enjoy the adventures of Mario in brilliant color on ahandheld system. Aside from being able to play in original mode, other new modes were added. In Challenge Mode, a player had to race to the end while finding hidden items. In VS Mode, players raced each other using the Game Boy Color Link cable. As a bonus for fulfilling certain conditions, players were able to unlock Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels (up to W8-4).

This was a remake of Super Mario World. Things worked quite differently if you played as Luigi instead of Mario. Luigi could jump higher, the fireballs he shot bounced differently, and he could
fly higher with the cape than Mario, When he hit a 10-Coin Block, all the coins came out at once. It was easier now to meet up with different-colored Yoshis. When Luigi rode Yoshi and Yoshi ate en- emies, he held the enemies in his mouth for attack, only swallowing them eventually.

After you defeat Bowser, go to the save-file screen. While holding the L and R Buttons, press ZZ the A Button and you'll unlock Luigi. He plays just the same as Mario, but where Mario would become Gold Mario, Luigi becomes Silver Luigi, among other visual differences.
In previous New Super Mario Bros, games, if you grab the Goal Pole as Mega Mario, it breaks. That's true of this one too, but the only world you can do it in is W5-6. Still, if you break the Goal Pole, you get a bonus of three 1-Up Mushrooms.

Star Coins.
Here are some tips and tricks to help you collect coins. If you gather enough coins, a golden Mario statue appears on the title screen,
THE RAINBOW COURSE: A VERITABLE COIN HEAVE!
In any of the worlds, if the last two numbers on the timer match the course number when you grab the Goal Pole, it opens up a Rainbow Course—a bonus course with a lot of coins! With W1, you need 11. For W 4 you need a 77, W @ requires an 88, and on W , you need 99,
f you can get a score of = over 200,000, a winged eae flying gold block will ap- pear on the world map. If q you run the score up to the highest number (999,999,999), then the flying gold block appears on every course, OQcve
When you surpass one million coins, you'll find that a golden statue of Mario has been built on your title screen. If you can collect the maximum amount (9,999,999 coins), you'll find the statue is now a golden Raccoon Mario.
When your extra lives reach triple crowns (meaning 1,110 lives), Mario adventures without his cap. Luigi is the same, Even when you turn him into Mega Mario or Fire Mario, he won't have his cap. But when the remaining lives go down again, he returns to normal.
If you can collect all of the Star Coins from worlds W1-W6 plus W & and W &, a special Toad House appears on W ®, where you can stock up a
STARRY SAVE FILE Super Star.
When you fulfill all the necessary conditions, you can get five stars on your save file. Those conditions are to clear the W6-Iil course, clear all the courses without using White Raccoon Mario, collect all possible Star Coins, collect all possible Moon Coins, and save the game with 1,110 remain- ing Marios.

Princess Peach has invited Mario, Luigi, and the Toads to a tea party! But amid their fun conversation, Bowser and a fleet of Koopaling airships invade the Mushroom Kingdom!
A huge mechanical arm stretches from the biggest ship. It 4 grabs Mario, ind the Toads and flings them toward the horizon. bd
They land in a place they’ve never seen before—right in the boughs of an Acorn Tree. From that vantage point they can see Princess Peach's Castle is still under attack from Bowser’s fleet.
Mario and his friends have to make their way back again to Peach's Castle to help her!

New Super Luigi U became available as a downloadable title, and was later released on disc. It's a complete remake with eighty-two courses, all starring Luigi. Aside from the special abilities you expect from Luigi—such as his higher jump but slippery footing—there are also features which differ from the main series of games. These include all courses having a countdown clock starting at one hundred. Since Mario
is missing, Nabbit has joined the crew with the perk of being immune to enemies’ attacks. New Super Luigi U was released for download on June 20th, 2013, and was also released with limited-edition packaging exclusively in the year 2013.

Here we look back on many of the moments that RABLEt left an impression. This game featured a huge world and many different dramatic moments.
MEM
As Bowsor's forces take over Peach's Castle, the castle undergoes changes throughout the adventure, gradually taking on creepier aspects.
Ifyou stop con- trolling Mario for a while, he'll turn and look expectantly at you. The other player characters react the same way.
There are two types of Baby Yoshi on the map. Speak to them and these little guys, brimming ‘Bio with curiosity, agree to Sa accompany you. They've got their own unique abili-
a ties, and if you make it to oe 2 on
the goal with them, they'll keep adventuring with you. Just remember that Glowing Baby Yoshi only appears on certain courses,
There are items that fall on the area map screens, and if Mario reaches one, he gets to add the item to his inventory. Just know that there will also be enemies on the map screens too, and if Mario runs into them, he'll have to battle!
Se AND MORE _ |
When you find a hidden goal in a course, anew path will appear leading to a hidden course off the beaten path. If you clear that hidden course, the rest of the path opens, making ita shortcut to Peach's Castle,
After you clear the first course in Layer-Cake Desert, a robbery occurs! A mysterious character named Nabbit steals some items and tries to run away. He appears in certain courses and Mario has to chase him down. If Mario can catch him, Toad will give Mario a P-Acom as a reward. If Mario can catch him eight times, Nabbit will start to run faster (note: this doesn't count in areas inside Peach's Castle and Superstar Road).
Peach's Chetierd
The final area in this game is Peach's Castle. Normally it features pretty green gardens and white walls, but under Bowser's influence, the grounds have been covered in lava. The back- ground music for Peach's Castle is a rearrangement of “Inside the Castle Walls” from Super Mario 64.

you'll find a small Toad House. Inside you'll find a board which shows fourteen different stats compiled from your feats within the game, such as “Goombas Stomped" and “Goal Poles Reached.”
After you've defeat- ed Bowser and gone through the ending, a special world opens up. Superstar Road has eight courses, and each opens up after you've collected all the Star Coins from each of the other worlds. Also, if you can collect all of the Star Coins from Superstar Road, then a final ninth course opens up.
Boost Blocks, which can be placed in Boost Mode, become tiny when you
have ninety-nine lives, It gets a lot harder to stand on them!
HINTS Res
\ Here’s some information that may help on your adventure: | To clear the entire game, you will have to catch Nabbit i every time he appears.
INE UP THE NUMBERS AND GET AN ITEM!
Ifyou grab the Goal Pole at a point where the last two digits on the clock align, Toad comes in and gives you an item. If the numbers aro 11, 22, or 33, you got a Super Mushroom. With 44, you got a Fire Flower, With 65, you get an Ice Flower. With 66, you get a Mini Mushroom or a Super Mushroom, With 77, you get a Super Acorn. With 88 and 99, you get a Super Star. But if you get 00, you get nothing.

It was a beautiful night on the evening of a festival. Mario, Peach, Luigi, and Toad discovered a clear pipe in Peach’s garden. Mario and Luigi fixed up
Then Bowser himself erupted from the pipe! He grabbed the Sprixie Princess and retreated back into the Sprixie Kingdom.

Suddenly a fairylike Sprixie Princess came flying
Peach led Mario, Luigi, and Toad into the pipe to rescue the Sprixie Princesses— beginning a brand- new adventure for Mario and his friends!
out. She told them about how Bowser’s forces
were wreaking havoc in the Sprixie Kingdom, and the other Sprixie Princesses had been captured.
Made for the Wii U console, this is the first Mario 3D action game that’s multi- player! Mario, Luigi, Peach, Toad, and the unlockable Rosalina each have their own distinct abilities, and up to four players can play on the same course. Many fea- tures have been added, such as Cat power-ups that allow you to climb walls, the Double Cherry that can multiply your character, and several items which, when worn, can give Mario new abilities. This game has more power-ups than any oth- er game in the series. With all these char- acters and all their different abilities, as well as the plethora of power-ups, this game gives the player more choices than ever before!
ALE una
bi
Although this follows the same basic structure as Super Mario 3D Land, where Mario makes his way through a course aiming for the Goal Pole at the end, this game enhances just about everything from the previous installment. There are some courses you can get through by using the touch screen or mic on the GamePad, and others where you play Captain Toad minigames in a tiny, blocky milieu in which you can move the camera around to plot your next move. Many more features make up all sorts of new types of courses! And with the advent of the wall-climbing Cat Mario, you can explore the courses to their fullest extent.
Using the Miiverse Service, a player could leave comments on each course. There are items .
called Stamps that are hidden on every course, and after a player found them, they could use their Stamps to gussy up their Miiverse posts.

It was Luigi's thirtieth birthday when this game was released in 2013, and so this game was a part of the “Year of Luigi” campaign. That's the reason why there's a pixel-art Luigi hidden at nearly every turn, One may come out when a block is broken, another may be hidden In the back- i ground, and yet another may appear when certain condi- a tions are met. There are all sorts of ways to make them J appear, but they’re all pretty difficult to find. There are even some hidden in the electronic instruction manual.
The flowers and grasses
IG) planted in the ground dance to 3 the rhythm of the background music (their dance changes
‘ when the music changes). It’s especially easy to see when Mario reaches the Goal Pole.
In the course W3-6, ¢ i. Mount Must Dash, Mario and | sili ot his friends use Dash Panels
to move forward. This level is based on motifs taken from Super Mario Kart for the SNES game system, including the start line, goal line, colorful curbstones, and many other identifiable elements. The background music is also an arrangement of the “Mario Circuit" music from that game.
When the goal is reached and the final digit in your score is 1, then there is one firework. At 3, three fireworks go off, and when it’s 6, then five fireworks are set off.
Ifyou enter the pipe hidden on the World 5 map, Mario and his friends can find and board the Coin Express. This bonus stage has a huge load of coins piled up. The stage appears again each time you've cleared twenty-five courses.
Ifyou use warp pipes to get to the next & :
world, then the Sprixie
Princesses held in the castles you skipped won't appear in the ending scene.
eit
After you've cleared W-#8, your best time on each course appears. At the same time, a fast ghost Mii appears on the courses, and they race with Mario and his friends to get the best time.
Y~ Once you have cleared We, a
pixel-art version of Luigi appears in the lower left corner of the title screen. When you select it, you can play Luigi Bros. This game uses the appearance of Mario Bros. for the NES, but the player characters are both Luigis. By the way, if you have New Super Luigi U on your Wii U already, then you can play Luigi Bros. from the very beginning.
Here we'll give some hints and tips to help in your adventure. To clear the entire game, you'll have to clear every course with every character.
If you want prestige for your save file, first you have to see the ending to get the first *, Once you get all the Green Stars up through W-8, you get +, Then clear all the courses of Wx, W@, and W® to got ++, When you've collected all the Green Stars on every world aside from WW, you get + 4, Finally, when you collect all the Green Stars from all courses aside from WW, grabbed every Goal Pole at the top,

There are hidden warp pipes hidden in courses W2-1 and W4-2 that can take your characters to the next world, In both cases you need to discover a path running above the ceiling leading to the warp pipes.
When you go to
Wk-2 for the first time, you will see a meeting with Rosalina. When you clear the course, Rosalina can be used as a player charac- ter. That course includes Lumas and Octoombas, and has a motif based on Super Mario Galaxy.
After you have cleared Wkr-2, go back to the title screen where the demo automatically plays. Rosalina will start appear- ing there. Also, after Rosalina has joined your party, she will appear with your other player characters in the credit scroll.
Once you have cleared all of the courses up through W&, collected all of the Green Stars and grabbed every Goal Pole at the very top, the final world—WW/—opens up. If you clear its three extremely difficult courses, you'll have completed the entire game. The background music for this world on the world map is the Rosalina’s Comet Observatory theme that was used in Super Mario Galaxy.
AND MORE
‘The game where Mario made his first appearance Is the 1981 arcade game Donkey Kong.
It was an action game where the main character climbs girders and uses hammers as his weapons to rescue the kidnapped Pauline from Donkey Kong, He was often referred to as “Jumpman” at the time, and the name “Mario” first appeared in a 1981 flyer promoting Donkey Kong in the US. He was officially renamed in the sequel arcade game, Donkey Kong ur. This is an action game where Donkey Kong Jr. uses ropes and fruits to battle enemies in his efforts to rescue his father, Donkey Kong, who has been caged for his misdeeds. In this game, Mario plays the antagonist who is controlling the enemies and attacking Donkey Kong Jr.
During this period, in games like Donkey Kong II and Donkey Kong Hockey (both for the Game & Watch), the main character was Donkey Kong. In Donkey Kong 3, Mario never appears, and the hero is instead Stanley the Bugman.

The first game featuring Mario's name in the title was Mario Bros., which debuted in 1983. In both the NES and arcade games, the twin brothers, Mario and Luigi, work together to vanquish mon- sters that appear underground. Here you can see many of the fundamental building blocks of Super Mario Bros., such as coins, pipes, turtle-based enemies and POW Blocks. One of the most popular features was that two people could play at the same time, and its popularity spread Mario's name throughout the world. The Mario Bros. game for the Game & Watch was some- what different, in that Mario and Luigi are placed on the right and left screens, and have to move quickly to and from conveyor belts where many packages are sent along.
Other Mario titles of the period were, among others, Mario's Cement Factory and Mario's Bombs Away (both for the Game & Watch).
