This game was not always a home played video game as Mario began as only a simple arcade game known as Donkey Kong in 1981 with Mario who played the character of a carpenter named Jump Man.
The Donkey Kong game and also the Donkey Kong junior were big hits as arcade games. Nintendo started it all when they developed a so called spin off game for the Jump Man during the year of 1983 as Mario Brothers went out on the market. This platform game later introduced all the players to a new character, Luigi, known as the brother of Mario. Both characters were plumbers in this game.

Then in 1986 Super Mario brothers 2 was released in Japan and with new features added and it was known to be the most difficult game in the entire Mario series.
Nintendo then choice to put out a much more modified version of the Japanese Doki Doki Panic game and was sent out on the market as Super Mario Brothers 2. After that, the development of Super Mario Brothers was out on the market in 1990. It got some great reviews and was considered the best of the long line of the Mario series.
