''[[Donkey Kong Jr.]]'' served as a sequel to ''Donkey Kong'', and was also released on arcade the same year, 1983. In this game, Mario is the antagonist, and captures Donkey Kong and encloses him inside a cage. Donkey's son, Donkey Kong Jr., is then given the task to save his father from Mario. The game was similar in essense to ''Donkey Kong'', as Jr. has to also reach the top of the stage in each level. Each time he does, however, Mario then flees to a different level and locks up the ape once more. The game is unusual for having Mario as the antagonist and an objective to defeat him. | ''[[Donkey Kong Jr.]]'' served as a sequel to ''Donkey Kong'', and was also released on arcade the same year, 1983.

====''Mario Bros.'' (Game & Watch)==== | |||
The [[Game & Watch]] title ''[[Mario Bros. (Game & Watch)|Mario Bros.]]'' is not only the first game of Mario starring in his own franchise, but also the debut of his younger brother [[Luigi]]. Both Mario and Luigi take on the role of being workers at a bottling plant, unlike any later appearance. | |||

A different ''[[Mario Bros. (arcade game)|Mario Bros.]]'' game was released for the [[arcade]]s later in 1983, a few months after the Game & Watch title. Here, Luigi was depicted as a [[palette swap]] of Mario with light-green clothes instead of red like Mario's. The game takes place underground inside a sewage system in [[New York]], and Mario and Luigi are [[plumber]]s. In the sewers, various enemies start crawling out of the pipes at the top of the screen, and work their way down until they enter one of the pipes at the bottom. Some enemies include [[Shellcreeper]]s, [[Spiny|Spinies]], [[Sidestepper]]s, [[Fighter Fly|Fighter Flies]], and [[Freezie]]s. The objective is to knock out each enemy by punching the ground below them, which can be done by jumping up when directly below the platform the enemy is on. Mario or Luigi must then kick the enemy while they are down, or else they revive and start walking again. Each phase increases in difficulty, with occasional Bonus Rounds in which Mario and Luigi can retrieve coins for bonus points. | |||

''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' introduces Mario's arch-nemesis, [[Bowser]]. In an attempt to take over the [[Mushroom Kingdom]], Bowser kidnapped [[Princess Peach]], and turns all of the kingdom's inhabitants into [[block]]s, plants, and other strange objects. Mario and Luigi then fight through the eight worlds of the Mushroom Kingdom in an attempt to reach her. At the end of each world they entered the [[castle]] from which the Koopa Troop was controlling it and defeated a [[False Bowser]] with [[Fireball]]s or by cutting the bridge it was standing on with an [[Ax]]. Each time they did so, one of the seven [[Mushroom Retainer]]s informed them that Peach was in another castle. Finally, Mario and Luigi entered [[Bowser's Castle]] in [[World 8 (Super Mario Bros.)|World 8]]. After navigating the mazes and traps, the brothers defeated Bowser and rescued Princess Peach. | |||
====''Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels''==== | |||
In ''[[Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels]]'', Bowser kidnapped the princess again. Mario and Luigi once again came to her aid, traversing eight new worlds of the Mushroom Kingdom to rescue her. The brothers' adventure was much more difficult than their first. Not only were enemies more powerful, but there were strong gusts of wind to deal with. Additionally, [[Poison Mushroom]]s were now present in ? Blocks, hindering their progress. Eventually, after defeating seven more False Bowsers, Mario and Luigi found the real Bowser in [[World 8-4 (Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels)|World 8-4]]. Defeating him, they rescued Peach and restored peace to the Mushroom Kingdom. | |||

One evening, during the events of ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', Mario dreamed that he was ascending a staircase leading to a door. The door opened and he looked out upon the land of dreams, [[Subcon (place)|Subcon]]. A faint voice informed him that the tyrant [[Wart]] had taken control of the land. Wart had achieved this with the help of the [[8 bits]] and by casting a spell upon the majority of those who lived in Subcon that placed them under Warts control.

The hero could not clear his head of the dream, so he decided to talk to Luigi, Princess Toadstool, and Toad about it. They decided to go on a picnic together on a nearby mountain. Once there, they discovered a cave and went exploring. Inside the cave was a staircase resembling the one in Mario's dream. The four climbed up to find a door resembling the one in Mario's dream. Fearful, they opened the door and entered Subcon. | The hero could not clear his head of the dream, so he decided to talk to Luigi, Princess Toadstool, and Toad about it.

The heroes opened a [[vase]] which was being used as a prison for the [[Subcon (species)|Subcon]] and freed Wart's captives. With Wart's reign ended, the spell was broken and peace was restored. A celebration was held in the four heroes honor, and suddenly, Mario woke up.

However, during the events of ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', ''[[Super Mario All Stars]]'', and ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', the seven lands in the Mushroom World were being attacked by Bowser's [[Koopalings]]. The Koopa king had commanded them to make mischief in the Mushroom World. The seven Koopalings each went to one of the seven lands of the Mushroom Kingdom and attacked their [[Mushroom Kings|kings]]. Stealing the kings' royal [[Magic Wand]]s, they transformed each of the kings into an animal.<ref name="SMB3story">''Super Mario Bros. 3'' instruction booklet. "Story" section.

Mario, Luigi, and Princess Peach took a vacation to the strange [[Dinosaur Land]] during the events of ''[[Super Mario World]]''. As soon as they arrived, they realized nobody was there. Luigi noticed a mysterious [[Cape Feather|feather]]. After he and Mario touched it, he donned a cape and was able to fly. The brothers experimented with this new ability, but once they returned, Peach was missing. Mario and Luigi went to [[Yoshi]]'s house and read a letter saying that he and his friends had been kidnapped by Bowser, who also made off with the Princess. The heroic plumbers immediately set out to save them, faced many strange new enemies along with their old foes, including the Koopalings (each of them were guarding a captured [[Yoshi Egg]]). | Mario, Luigi, and Princess Peach took a vacation to the strange [[Dinosaur Land]] during the events of ''[[Super Mario World]]''.

Mario seems to have a small fixation with food. As in Super Mario 64/DS, the original reason why Mario came to the castle is because Peach was baking him a cake. In the opening of Super Mario Sunshine, Mario was apparently daydreaming about seafood. This is most notably seen in the DiC cartoon trilogy, where Mario is almost constantly hungry and fascinated with Italian food (mostly pizza and pasta), typically wanting to stop Bowser's latest scheme simply so he could eat. In fact, in "[[Koopenstein]]", when Princess Peach asked him if he ever thought about anything besides food, Mario, with pure honesty, replied, "What else is there?" | Mario seems to have a small fixation with food.

*'''Bio:''' ''"Don't let Mario's looks fool you. He may be the shortest, chubbiest, most comedic-looking superhero ever to have his own show, but he always finds an ingenious way to overcome the most overwhelming obstacles in his path, and somehow, save the day. Even if it takes turning into a flying raccoon with superpowers, the irrepressible Mario will cleverly and bravely do his best to outwit the villainous [[Koopa Clan]]. He continues the quest when wiser heads would quit. With the spirit of a true plumber, he will show up at any hour of the day or night, to solve a crisis that ordinary men refuse to even touch. No matter how many times he's tricked, trapped, or defeated, Mario bounces back. His greatest strength is his unconquerable spirit and his willingness to fling himself selflessly into any situation if justice is at stake."'' | *'''Bio:''' ''"Don't let Mario's looks fool you.
