Game Wednesday - Super Mario


Hello there! 

If you've recognized the name of this character then you've probably played a game relating to Mario. I mean who doesn't know about this guy, he is seen everywhere in the media and has featured in most games.

Well, Mario is the icon for the game industry since the time around the 90’s until now. The 90’s was a good time for most games that had been released and had consisted of some great Mario game franchises. Let’s see there was Super Mario World, Super Mario Bros series 1, 2, 3 and some others. The list goes on…




For this blog post I’ll just stick with Super Mario on the Nintendo 64. Why? Because I had so many memories during my younger years with this game (oh the nostalgia).

Do you remember walking through paintings to reach to your next stage? I certainly did. For most of you who had played this game, would know that collecting stars was important. The more stars that you had meant you were able to venture into different worlds. That means more challenges, different courses, solving puzzles and collecting coins.

Mario is known for his abilities in his games like the fireball he shoots out from his palms of his hands. In the Super Mario 64 platform game however, there are certain items that enhances his skills. Skills like being able to fly using a special hat called the “Wing Cap”. I know it may sound weird but there was a stage where Mario is required to fly and roam around in a world.

Also do you remember this guy?
Yeah he’s the bad guy named “Bowser” kind of looks like a dragon but his actually a turtle!

Like the hero Mario is, he will again go and save the princess that has been captured by this villain.
