'''''Mario''''' is a long-running [[List of games|video game franchise]] published by the popular gaming company, [[Nintendo]]. It stars the titular Italian plumber [[Mario]]. The franchise has been running for more than a quarter of a century, and in its lifespan has released more than two hundred video games. The series also holds the title of best-selling video game franchise in history, with over 262 million combined units sold as of March 2015.<ref>[http://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20110531005315/en/Nintendo-DS-Lite-Suggested-Retail-Price-Drops Mario Games Go Red]</ref> The franchise has also been branded '''''Super Mario''''', after its flagship series of the [[Super Mario (series)|same name]], although ''[[Mario Bros. (series)|Mario Bros.]]'' is the first series within the ''Mario'' franchise.
The franchise began in 1981 with the arcade video game, ''[[Donkey Kong (game)|Donkey Kong]]'', and has since then taken off into its own franchise. Originally created by [[Shigeru Miyamoto]], [[Mario]], going under the name [[Jumpman]] when ''Donkey Kong'' was first released, is the main protagonist throughout most of the series; the main antagonist of the series is [[Bowser]], the King of all [[Koopa]]s. The ''Mario'' series has contained many different genres of games, from platformers to [[Genre#Role Playing|role-playing games]], and from puzzle games to party games. The most popular games in the series are a part of what is known as the main series, or the ''Super Mario'' series, which consists of 2D and 3D platformers; at least one is released per home console and one per handheld (bar the Game Boy Advance). Even though several games are released, not all of them are available in all countries or on all platforms. Some are only available on certain platforms in certain countries as well.

In late 2021, ''[[Mario Party Superstars]]'' was released, a new ''Mario Party'' game with some classic gameplay with a select few boards and minigames from previous ''Mario Party'' games.
In 2023, the next 2D installment of the ''Super Mario'' series was released, ''[[Super Mario Bros. Wonder]]''.
===Common elements===
Line 192 ⟶ 194:
The whole series revolves around the adventures of an extensive cast of recurring characters. The main protagonist of the series, the titular [[Mario]], is a fictional Italian-American plumber who is portrayed as the hero of a realm called the [[Mushroom Kingdom]], which he endeavors to defend by traversing his way through stages filled with obstacles and enemies. His arch-nemesis is [[Bowser]], the king of the [[Koopa]]s, a race of evil-driven anthropomorphic turtles. Bowser is responsible for most, if not all, of the Mushroom Kingdom's invasions, and almost always appears as the final boss, who constantly and consistently attempts to put an end to Mario and his friends. Mario's younger but taller brother, [[Luigi]], often participates in his adventures alongside him; in early games, he was only playable in the two-player mode. The Mushroom Kingdom's ruler, [[Princess Peach]], is Mario's love interest and recurring damsel in distress; she repeatedly falls victim to Bowser's kidnappings and has to be rescued by Mario, but occasionally serves as a protagonist herself. Another prominent sidekick of Mario's is [[Yoshi]], a dinosaur-like creature who serves as a riding mount to Mario, and has a long tongue which he uses to eat food and enemies; this character became so popular after his debut that he was spun off into [[Yoshi (series)|his own franchise]]. Mario also has a greedy, hot-tempered doppelganger rival named [[Wario]], who has antagonized Mario on various occasions, and also serves as an anti-hero (and sometimes hero) with [[Wario (series)|his own adventures]] which generally involve money grubbing and treasure hunting. [[Donkey Kong]], a muscular and somewhat dim-witted ape, originally served as Mario's first rival in his arcade debut, but eventually became the main protagonist of [[Donkey Kong (series)|his own franchise]]. Other significant recurring characters in the franchise include the [[Toad (species)|Toads]], inhabitants of the Mushroom Kingdom and servants to Peach, who often support Mario during his adventures; [[Princess Daisy]], the tomboyish ruler of a kingdom called [[Sarasaland]]; Wario's brother and partner in crime [[Waluigi]]; [[Professor Elvin Gadd]], an aging scientist and inventor; and [[Rosalina]], a mysterious figure who watches over the cosmos.

Throughout his adventures, Mario faces a wide variety of enemies that make attempts to hinder his progress. The [[Goomba]]s, mushroom-like creatures that betrayed the Mushroom Kingdom, are extremely weak to the extent that a single stomp is enough to defeat them. [[Koopa Troopa]]s, foot soldiers of Bowser, retract in their shells if stomped on, after which they can be used to attack other foes. Many different

|Before the release of ''Super Mario Bros.'', Mario appeared in his first ever sports game: ''Golf'' — it was released in 1984. The gameplay is relatively simple: the player must strike the ball with the correct amount of force in order to get a good shot. The more good shots and the player gets, the more points he or she is likely to earn. ''Golf'' Mario is stated to be the playable character (even he is not seen in his traditional clothing) but the original version instead claims the golfer name is ''Ossan''.

|On September 13, 1985, Mario starred in his very first game outside of the arcades, ''Super Mario Bros.'', which became extremely successful. Mario, and his brother Luigi, had to set out on a massive adventure across the [[Mushroom Kingdom]] to rescue [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]] and the [[Mushroom Retainer]]s from the evil [[Bowser|King Bowser]]. After traversing through eight massive [[world]]s, filled with enemies, the brothers eventually reached [[Bowser's Castle]], finally rescuing Princess Toadstool. ''Super Mario Bros.'' was the best-selling video game for the NES in 1999,<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20060317005503/http://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/content_pages/record.asp?recordid=52404 Best-selling NES game]</ref> and, until surpassed by ''Wii Sports'' in 2009, the best-selling video game of all time. ''Super Mario Bros.'' also had a major part in both the takeoff of the NES and the revival of the American video game industry after the crash in 1983.

|The [[The Legend of Zelda (franchise)|''The Legend of Zelda'' franchise]] is closely related to the ''Mario'' franchise, although its relation is more subtle and different than with the ''Donkey Kong'' franchise. ''The Legend of Zelda'' began in 1987, with the release of the titular game of the [[The Legend of Zelda|same name]]. The game was developed concurrently alongside ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'', and since then, a mainline ''[[Super Mario (series)|Super Mario]]'' platforming game has often been developed concurrently with a ''[[The Legend of Zelda (series)|The Legend of Zelda]]'' game, such as ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' with ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time]]''. Sometimes, ''Mario'' concepts were originally intended for ''The Legend of Zelda'', such as [[Fire Bar]]s. ''Mario'' enemies such as [[Chain Chomp]]s, [[Bob-omb]]s, and [[Thwomp]]s have commonly appeared throughout the 2D ''The Legend of Zelda'' games. Furthermore, variants of ''Mario'' enemies exclusively appear in the ''The Legend of Zelda'' franchise, such as [[Manhandla]]s, a large [[Piranha Plant]] variant that debuted in the first ''The Legend of Zelda'', comparable to how [[Pouncer]]s, a Thwomp variant in ''[[Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3]]'', have not appeared outside the ''Wario'' games. Similarly, [[Octoomba]]s, a variant of ''The Legend of Zelda''{{'}}s [[Octorok]], have not appeared outside the ''Mario'' franchise. ''The Legend of Zelda'' can be considered one step away from being a ''Mario'' spinoff, and it even had an [[The Legend of Zelda (television)|animated television show]] included as part of ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!]]''.

Goombas are brown mushroom-like creatures that generally work under the orders of Bowser. There have been Goombas shown to have more benevolent personalities in such games as ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'', though they are less common than the actual enemies. Goombas can be found both on their own, as well as with several other Goombas and other types of enemies. Goombas have had important roles in games in the ''Mario Party'' series, appearing as hosts, as well as obstacles in mini-games. Goombas have had very few appearance changes over the years, almost always appearing as brown, teardrop-shaped creatures with two feet. However, the Goombas of ''Super Mario World'' — [[Galoomba]]s — are round in design.

Monty Moles will usually pop up out of the ground and either walk around or chase the player. Starting in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and several RPG titles, Monty Moles would also be depicted throwing rocks at the player from a distance in their holes. Monty Moles would also get unique variants over the years, such as larger variants of them like [[Mega Mole]]s and [[Morty Mole]]s, as well as relatives to the Monty Mole species such as [[Rocky Wrench]] and [[Ragumo]] (the former appearing before Monty Moles existed). Monty Moles would also make a couple playable appearances starting with ''[[Mario Superstar Baseball]]'', ''[[Mario Strikers Charged]]'', and ''[[Mario Super Sluggers]]'' as a sidekick, before then appearing much later as a standalone playable character in ''[[Super Mario Party]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]''.

Rocky Wrenches are usually found in [[Airship]] and [[Tank]] levels and attack the player by throwing [[wrench]]es at them. Originally, Rocky Wrenches were referred to as turtles and appeared rather infrequently after their debut. However, starting in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.

Rocky Wrenches would also appear much more frequently in ''Mario'' titles starting with ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'', making them the second most recurring Monty Mole species member. Unlike Monty Moles, Rocky Wrenches would retain a consistent attack pattern throughout most of their appearances, even after their redesign in ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''.
