Super Mario Brothers defined and shaped the video game industry for years to come with its simple yet addictive little plumber man. Mario’s quintessential moves, from jumping on goombas to throwing fireballs to falling down bottomless pits became the envy of all other games and gamers who wanted to be just like Mario. Saving the princess was just a cherry on the awesome sundae of finding secrets, exploiting hacks, and racking up points and coins till your thumbs bled.
