Making his video game debut in Donkey Kong in 1981, Mario is one of the most recognizable video game characters of all time. Mario games have sold more than 200 million copies worldwide. DAAYYYUUMMMM that's a lot of copies!
Mario himself is a short, stout Italian man usually seen wearing a red hat, shirt and blue overalls.
As Nintendo's mascot, Mario is said to be the most famous video game character in history. He was even recognized by Guiness World Records who awarded him "Most Prolific Video Game Character."
Maybe even slightly more popular than the Mario character is his theme music, created by Koji Kondo, a Japanese composer. The beats and beeps go unrecognized by gamers and non-gamers alike.
I must say, that as a non-gamer i L-O-V-E this theme song. It's even set as my text message ringtone!
