Mario

Mario is the Nintendo mascot that was first created in 1980 in the classic Donkey Kong game. He was born when Shigeru Miyamoto was attempting to make a new protagonist to star in the aforementioned title as a replacement for the game Popeye (which Nintendo lost the copyrights to). Since his debut, Mario has starred in many of his own adventures; especially upon arriving into the Mushroom Kingdom where his own stream of games came into place starting with Super Mario Bros. in 1985.
