Super Mario Bros.

Super Mario Bros. was the game that popularized the character of Mario, making him the main icon of Nintendo, and one of the most recognized characters in video games, as well as his younger brother Luigi. In addition, he first introduced Princess Peach Toadstool, Toad, Bowser, among other characters. This game is considered the first videogame of Nintendo's side-scrolling platforms and has become a milestone due to the importance of its design and role in the video game industry. Its launch was the first great record of sales after the crisis of the video game industry of 1983 (reaching more than 10 million cartridges sold), so it popularized, in a way, the NES console. In 1999 he was recognized as one of the bestselling video games of all time. Shigeru Miyamoto, its creator, recounts the existence of Super Mario Bros. because when he was traveling on a train he liked to look out the window, and he imagined he was jumping out there. Due to Mario's popularity, it is also found in other video games such as the original Donkey Kong and Super Smash Bros.
