5 Surprising Facts About Mario You Might Not Know

While many fans know the basics about this plucky plumber, here are five lesser-known facts that might surprise you. Also see some music i made if you are wanting some sounds too.

1. Original Name: Before he became known as Mario, the character was originally called "Jumpman." His name was changed to Mario in honor of Mario Segale, the landlord of the warehouse Nintendo of America was renting in the early 1980s. The name stuck, and he became the face of Nintendo.
2. Occupation Variety: While Mario is primarily known as a plumber, he has dabbled in numerous professions throughout his adventures. He has taken on roles as a doctor in "Dr. Mario," a kart racer in the "Mario Kart" series, and even a professional golfer. This versatility showcases his adaptability and charm.
3. Voice Behind the Icon: Charles Martinet, the voice actor who has voiced Mario since 1991, was initially brought in to record lines for "Super Mario 64." His enthusiastic "It's-a me, Mario!" has become iconic and is recognized worldwide, contributing significantly to Mario's personality.
4. The Mustache's Significance: Mario’s iconic mustache was a design choice made to simplify facial animations in the early 8-bit graphics, where detailed facial features were challenging to render. The mustache has since become a defining characteristic of his appearance.
5. Game Count: Mario has appeared in over 200 video games since his inception, making him one of the most prolific characters in gaming history. From platformers to sports games, Mario's influence spans across genres and generations, solidifying his status as a gaming legend.

Retro Games That Are Kinda Obscure

 Blaster Master

A game that does have quite a good quality and soundtrack, You use a certain kind of futuristic tank and destroy enemies all around. It is a NES game that did not have that much future but at least we can say there are some fans about it. 

Sky Shark

A shooter game that does have lots of good music and a fast paced game action. It is quite interesting and I do like the intro soundtrack a lot, it uses that repetitive sort of instrument that I enjoy a bunch. One good game that you could play.

Crystalis

Another great game that is a little lot like the Legend of Zelda. You could say it is very similar but it has its own features. I really liked this game a lot, it is post-apocalyptic and very interesting to play. Music is awesome as well and it came to me in a very important moment of my life, when I met Jesus Christ. 

                                           

Startropics

A great game that I really did not play that much but i recognize it is good. It has to do with a guy that lives in sort of a Hawaii island but there are lots of monsters and you have to go on an adventure. It is great in music as well.  

                                             

Castlevania II: Simon's Quest

It is a cryptic game and it is not particularly awesome but it does have a great soundtrack. I know it is weird to include it in this list but you could say that it has quite good design as for graphics, but that tornado part is just terrible. 

                                        

Why Mario is SO COOL?

 As you probably know, Super Mario Bros. is a great game and here there are some of the reasons on why it is just so cooooolll!

1. Power Ups

One of the reasons on why Mario games are so cool is because of the many power ups you can get. Fire flower, hammers, ice flower, starman, frog suit, mushrooms, and so on, that is just part of what comes to my mind this time.

2. Levels are Great

Mario games do have lots of levels that do have an interesting design, you could say they are really good. Actually, they do have many variations: caves, water levels, sky levels, space levels, grass levels, fire levels, it is just about everything.

3. Luigi

Yes Luigi is another part of the game and he is very cool as well. You can love Mario but if you are a Luigi user then that is awesome as well. The brother with the high jumps happens to be a great character to use and you will enjoy playing with him too.
