The brainchild of illustrator Shigeru Miyamoto in 1985, and developed by Ninetendo, it was quite simply the saving grace of the computer games industry after the crash of 82-83. The game centred around Mario and his brother Luigi, plumbers from New York who one day get sucked down a drain pipe to the Mushroom Kingdom. There the world is under the evil rule of a giant fire breathing turle and the former princess is in great danger so the plumbers take it upon them selfs to save the kingdom. Its a platrform game so the charactor moves horizontally and vertically along a side sweeping scenery. Basic, but imensly colourful and addictive to play, it spawned lots of copies and sequals but over time the charactor Mario as become as recognisable as any other western tradmark.
