History
Mario first appeared as "Jumpman" in Donkey Kong. He later appeared in a game for the Game & Watch, marking the first time he was titled as "Mario". Finally, Nintendo released the arcade game called Mario Bros, which also included Luigi's debut as Mario's Brother. When the NES was released, He also appeared the games Tennis, and Golf. In 1985, Nintendo released Super Mario Bros., and became a big hit in The US and Japan. After which Nintendo was creating a sequal for the game. Mario has since then, made many apperences in many games for his own series, and spinoffs on a wide variety of Nintendo's consoles. His jobs were a plumber, construction worker, rescuer, racer, and even a doctor.

Mario is also rather brave unlike his brother. Mario has been in many scary places and situations without getting scared.

Creation
When Nintendo was making a main character for their game Donkey Kong, they created an 8 bit character with red overalls and a blue shirt, known as Jumpman. (Mario, as he was later called) They wanted to give him hair, but due to the technology's memory limitations at the time, they could not animate the hair, thus, gave Jumpman his red, signature cap players know today. Shigeru Miyamoto, originally called Jumpman "Mr. Video", but a worker from Nintendo Of America named Mario Segale came to them, asking for back rent; after which, Nintendo decided to name Jumpman after him.

Super Mario Bros.
