Mario's first ever appearance was in the [[arcade]] game, ''[[Donkey Kong (arcade game)|Donkey Kong]]'', which was released in 1981. He was nicknamed Jumpman, and was a carpenter, not a plumber. His pet monkey, [[Donkey Kong (character)|Donkey Kong]], broke out of his cage, kidnapped Mario's girlfriend, [[Pauline]], and then ran off to the nearest construction site. Mario had to climb up the construction site, while dodging all the [[Barrel]]s that Donkey Kong threw at him, as well as doding the [[Fireball]]s there. Everytime Mario reached Donkey Kong, he would grab Pauline and climb higher into the Construction site. After the fourth level, Mario was finally able to confront Donkey Kong, and managed to defeat him, causing Donkey Kong to drop on some girders bellow. Pauline kisses Mario as a thank you, and the game ends.

===''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars''===
Over the years, Mario has stared in five critically acclaimed RPG's. His first RPG game was ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'' for the SNES. In this [[Square]] made game, Mario went on a quest to save the Mushroom Kingdom and meet new friends. It was also the first game where Bowser would join your team and fight evil.
Mario's first role-playing adventure is in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]''. In this [[Square]] made game, Mario went on a quest to save the Mushroom Kingdom and meet new friends. It was also the first game where Bowser would join your team and fight evil.


===''Paper Mario'' series===
===''Paper Mario'' series===
Mario is the main character in the ''Paper Mario'' series, along with many other games. As an RPG character, he never talks, but he does use gestures and sounds to convey a message. This slight problem is overcome easily as whoever he is talking to repeats it or he as a partner talk for him.
====''Paper Mario''====
====''Paper Mario''====
His next RPG, which was made by RPG creators [[Intelligent Systems]], who made the likes of the ''[[Fire Emblem series]]'', ''[[Advance Wars]]'', and others, created ''[[Paper Mario]]'', a game where Mario (and everything else.) was in paper form. In this game, 7 characters would join his team to fight evil.
In [[Paper Mario]], the first of the series, he is seen at his house with Luigi. They get an invitation from Peach to come to a party and they are glad to come. When they arrive Luigi stays behind and Mario goes to meet the princess. However, Bowser uses his castle to raise Peach's into space. Mario tries to battle him, but by using the Star Rod, Bowser becomes invincible. Mario is knocked out of the castle and lands on the ground. He is rescued by the [[Star Spirits]] and some [[Goomba]]s. He finds out he must go on a quest to free the 7 Star Spirits to beat Bowser and save Peach, receiving help from seven partners along the way.


====''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door''====
====''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door''====
In the sequel, ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', Mario would use a battle system very similar to his predecessor. In the sequel to ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'', there would be four allys on the battle field, rather than just two. The two new characters, however, were Mario and Luigi as babies. The babies were able to help with many challenging puzzles and battles.
In ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', Mario is at his house and receives another letter from Peach. She has found a magical treasure map and wants Mario to help her look for it. Mario head off for [[Rogueport]], and the player takes control of Mario there. As soon as Mario does, he sees some thugs called X-Nauts trying to bully information out of a Goomba girl named Goombella. A battle starts, and Goombella tells Mario how to play. Mario finds out from Professor Frankly that he must collect the Crystal Stars to open the Thousand-Year Door and get the treasure. Mario later learns that Peach has been captured by the X-Nauts. Mario battles Grodus and his army, Lord Crump, The Three [[Shadow Sirens]], and lots of other bosses. His abilities grow in this game, and it revolves around him being made out of paper.


====''Super Paper Mario''====
====''Super Paper Mario''====
''[[Super Paper Mario]]'' stars Mario in an adventure combining mechanics from role-playing games and platforming games.
In ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'', Mario still is seen at his house with his brother. Mario goes out this time due to Peach being stolen and Luigi deciding that it was Bowser. It was actually Count Bleck but Mario doesn't know till he gets there. Mario tries to stop Bleck but he is protected by a barrier and is quickly defeated. Tippi, a Pixl, awakens Mario and brings him to Flipside to start his quest to save peach.  He learns that he must collect 8 Pure Hearts to stop the Chaos Heart created by Peach being forced to marry Bowser. The Chaos Heart created The Void which will destroy all worlds if not stopped. Mario shares the playable character role this time. There are four heroes in total, each with their own special ability to get through worlds. The game combines mechanics from role-playing games and platforming games. Mario does get the ability to flip into 3D in short periods of time.  At the final chapter, each hero gets into their own battle against O' Chunks, Mimi, Dimentio, and the Count himself. Then Dimentio uses the Chaos Heart and Luigi to make Super Dimento and this is the real final battle.

====''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga''====
====''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga''====
The next game, ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'', used a brand new RPG engine that was created by [[AlphaDream]], a Nintendo second party developer. In this engine, rather than just being able to give more damage to the enemy with precise button pressing, you are now able to either totally avoid being hurt or even counter attack your opponent's attack by pressing the button at just the right time.

====''Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time''====
In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]'', Mario and Luigi go on an adventure through both past and present, this time with assistance from their baby counterparts, [[Baby Mario]] and [[Baby Luigi]], respectively.

==Non-Nintendo platforms==
Nintendo holds the copyright to Mario in many nations and retained these rights for their own use with few exceptions. However, Mario appeared in quite a few educational PC titles in the United States such as ''[[Mario Teaches Typing]]'' and in some very early games for non-Nintendo systems such as the [[Atari 2600]] and the [[Mattel Intellivision]]. Philips made several games, such as [[Hotel Mario]], featuring Nintendo characters for their [[CD-i|Philips CD-i]] which was the result of a compromise with Nintendo over failing to release a joint [[CD-ROM]] product. ''[[Mario Is Missing!]]'', another PC game, was later ported to the NES and SNES much like its sequel ''[[Mario's Time Machine]]''. ''[[Super Mario Bros. Special]]'', the first sequel to ''Super Mario Bros.'', was also on a non-Nintendo platform.

There are many free fan-made games such as ''Mario Forever'' and ''Super Mario: Blue Twilight DX'', and mini-movies using the Mario likeness available on the Internet such as the violent ''Rise of the Mushroom Kingdom'' cartoon series. Fan-made games vary from clones of the original games to more novel games that merely incorporate the Mario characters. Fans have produced and distributed simple games incorporating Mario on graphing calculators such as the TI-83. There have also been a number of fan-made games using the [[Super Mario World]] engine, and even some using the [[Super Mario Bros. 3]] engine.

In ''Pinball'', Mario appears in a "bonus stage," holding up a platform on which [[Pauline]] is to be caught. The platform is also used in game play; the player's ball bounces off its surface, striking a series of numbered lamps that cause the floor underneath Pauline's lofty holding cage to break, which will (presumably) cause her to fall to safety. In the stage, the player controls Mario and can only move left or right.

Mario made brief appearances in three games from Nintendo's other popular franchise, the ''[[The Legend of Zelda series|Legend of Zelda series]]''. In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past|A Link to the Past]]'', his picture hangs on the walls of certain village houses. In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]'', a picture of him (along with Luigi, Princess Peach, Yoshi, and Bowser) is visible through a window in the castle courtyard where Link meets Zelda. In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]'', one of the masks on the Happy Mask Salesman's pack depicted Mario's face.

Mario also had a minor appearance in the game [[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]] when Diddy is ranked among the Nintendo icons based on the amount of Donkey Kong coins he possesses. [[Link]] from [[The Legend of Zelda]] and [[Yoshi]] also appear.

In 1999, Mario was included in the cast for Nintendo's popular fighting game, ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'', for the [[Nintendo 64]]. He returned with the cast from the original in the 2001 [[Nintendo GameCube|GameCube]] sequel, ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', and will also appear in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', an upcoming game for the [[Wii]]. In the recent ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' trailer, Mario was seen picking up a Smash Bros. emblem (as an item), then he threw out a large fire wave at his opponents. In this series, he is considered a well-balanced character and is easy for most players to use.

In ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]'', if you talk to Loggo the toilet in Grunty Industries a second time before unclogging him, Kazooie will say, "Then call a plumber. I hear Mario's free at the moment." Loggo will respond "I don't think he actually does that kind of work anymore..."

In ''[[Pokémon Red]] and [[Pokémon Blue|Blue]]'', in the Mimic's house in Saffron City, if you look at the TV there is a "Game with Mario wearing a bucket on his head". This is a reference to a game released only in Japan that starred [[Mario and Wario]] - where Mario would be moving in a level, with a bucket on his head.

Mario makes a secret appearance in ''[[Animal Crossing]]'' where he can be unlocked as a statue in your room. Along with him is a silver Luigi statue, a question mark box and a pipe. They are extravagantly rare, sometimes they can only be unlocked in a raffle at Nooks store, sometimes by telling Nook a secret code that can be found at many cheat sites.

===Abilities===
During the development of [[Donkey Kong]], Mario was known simply as "Jumpman", named for his keen ability to jump exceptional heights. This ability is still described as Mario's greatest talent in most forms of media in which he is portrayed, and jumping, both to access different areas of a level and as an offensive move, remains a core element of gameplay in several ''Mario'' games, especially the platforming titles.

Mario's old nickname "Jumpman" stems from his keen ability to [[jump]] exceptional heights. This ability is still described as Mario's greatest talent in most forms of media in which he is portrayed, and jumping, both to access different areas of a level and as an offensive move, remains a core element of gameplay in several ''Mario'' games, especially the platforming titles.


Mario's most commonly portrayed form of attack is jumping to stomp on the heads of enemies, first employed in ''[[Mario Bros.]]'' (but his main attack in this game was to hit the floor underneath the enemy, flipping them up-side-down, and quickly kicking them into the water below, before they got back up) but better known from the later ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' game and its sequels. This jump-stomp move may entirely crush smaller enemies on the stage, and usually deals damage to larger ones, sometimes causing secondary effects as well. Most notably, this attack often enables Mario to knock the turtle-like [[Koopa|Koopa Troopas]] back into their shells, which may slide across the stage, damaging other enemies, or Mario. Mario can also kick or toss these shells at enemies or barriers in many games.
