Should you ask any gamer the game that launched their fascination with gaming-- they'd probably tell you Nintendo's timeless classic Super Mario Bros was one of them. And who could blame them? But honestly how could a mustachio plumber figure be so popular? Well my friend, it's all about the genuine quality that seemed to literally overflow from Super Mario Bros, and it's timeless gameplay that is still fondly remembered today. Who knew you could get so much enjoyment on watching an overweight plumber jump his way to the end of the level, well folks if one game can do that it has to be Nintendo's classic: Super Mario Bros. Make no mistake, Shigeru Miyamoto's vision became evident and it single-handily revived the the gaming industry and contributed significantly to the game industry's popularity. The gameplay in Super Mario Bros was easily accessible to anyone, with it's cute power-ups like the mushroom, starman, what's not to like? Super Mario Bros raised the bar for a platform game, and brought gaming to the next-level through his quirky and adorable sayings "Mama Mia!", to "It's a me, Mario!", to his somewhat odd appearance-- a mustache, pudgy figure, overalls, to his white gloves, or his emblem emblazoned with the letter "M". A noble man indeed. Nintendo's vision fueled the industries rapid rise as one of the biggest forms of entertainment. It's simple a joy to play even compared to today's standards, it's gameplay has stood the test of time. It has made the biggest impact of any game thus far-- and while it may not feature those gorgeous cinematic cutscenes from Metal Gear Solid, or the sophisticated level-up system of Final Fantasy, to Gears of War's extremely satisfying brutal affair-- one thing is clear about Super Mario Bros: simple games are just as fun to. And it sure wouldn't hurt calling it one of the greatest games of all time.
