• Bowser has been in almost every Mario game, including the main series.

• He is generally cast as an antihero or a minor villain.

Stereotypes.

Everyone’s favorite Nintendo flagship plumber is a generalized, blanket caricature. Early versions of the turtle-tossing hero came complete with a terrible Italian accent and bad guys called “Koopas.” Mario would even use words like “Pizano.” While he is way better than any of the Italian-Americans in Mafia or Mafia 2. Italians have little to look forward to; their scale of representation is either a gangster or a pipe-jumping embarrassment chasing turtles and crabs.

Violence in the game.

In a nutshell, Mario and Luigi are brothers who have to fight their way through the Mushroom Kingdom to save Princess Peach. Throughout the kingdom, they fight enemies and overcome obstacles in order to make it to the last fight against Bowser.The level of violence in this game would be like a 4 out of 10, in my opinion. I agree with the research I found, they do have to do that but it isn't really that bad.

Most Positive things in the game.

The Positive stuff about this game is that Mario is saving someone(Princess Peach). He beats up all the bad guys and then fights the really bad guy and then saves the Princess and returns her to her kingdom. In reality he is doing a really good thing, if life were a video game of course.

Most Negative things in the game.

The most negative stuff in this game is that all the bad guys get killed, even though we all know that they need to DIE. The bad guys kidnap people(Princess Peach). Then Mario has to waste all his energy to save her(that’s positive and negative).

How old were you when you started to play Super Mario Bros?

Um, Maybe like 4-5, my uncle had a Nintendo 64 and my aunty used to play it all the time, and I wanted to try it so I did, it was super easy so I kept playing it and its like my favorite game, still…. And I think that being like 2 is too young, because a 2 year old would just get confused quit then go cry in their room whilst playing with 2 year old toys…

How many hours have you played this game?

In total, maybe like 4 weeks, (in total) so like 672 hours in total… maybe, *makes I don’t know sound*

Why do you enjoy this game? Why is it your favorite?

I like this game because it isn't hard to play and I get frustrated easily so. I couldn’t play GTA or COD. Id get too confuse…. Then get mad. Then quit… Mario is easy and not confusing… So that’s why I play it…… Its my favorite because Mario.!

Video game addiction.

Video game addiction is when you cat stop playing a game, like on a gaming console or on the computer. No, I'm not a video game addict.. I don’t really play games but when I do I play for like 3 hours at a time… or maybe 5 if I'm with my friend.. But other then that I only spend about an hour or half an hour on the computer a day, or every other day.
