Unquestionably the most outstanding high-jump athlete in history
Forty years ago, a peculiar man with a red cap, round beer belly, and blue overalls made his debut in the world of video games. This man, known simply as Mario, is about to celebrate his birthday, and his journey to fame is as extraordinary as his appearance.
Mario first appeared in the game "Donkey Kong" in 1981, originally named Jumpman, created by the visionary Shigeru Miyamoto. It wasn't until "Super Mario Bros" four years later that Mario truly broke through, becoming one of the greatest heroes in the history of humanity.
This assertion might seem surprising, but Mario's fame places him in the same category as historical figures like Socrates and Augustus, and even religious figures like Jesus. His influence is such that he is only known by his first name, much like these revered figures.
Since then, Mario has sold nearly a billion games, more than any other video game character. He holds the record for the most successful video game film of all time and has even inspired theme parks in his honour.
Despite his impressive numbers, they do not fully describe what Mario has accomplished. He has captivated generations of players with his adventures, teaching them about perseverance, teamwork, and the power of friendship.
Mario's appearance may not initially suggest heroic qualities, but his spirit is undeniable. With each jump, he embodies determination and resilience, inspiring players to overcome their own challenges.
As Mario celebrates his 40th birthday, we take a moment to reflect on his incredible journey and the impact he has had on the world. Here's to another 40 years of Mario's adventures!
