What is Super Mario?

~ The Super Mario game follows Mario's adventures in the fictional Mushroom Kingdom. Mario is sometimes joined by his brother, Luigi, and other members of the Mario group. The goal of the game is that Mario runs and jumps across platforms and atop enemies in levels with themes. The games have simple setups, typically with Mario saving the kidnapped Princess Peach, or just getting to the next level in a certain amount of time.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z26QzBt6lCg

Main Traits of Super Mario Characters Mario is Nintendo's mascot and usually the main hero of the

game. Mario is actually a plumber but most of the time he's not repairing pipes but saving the world and rescuing a princess.

Luigi is Mario's younger brother and is also a plumber. Usually he's only a minor character, standing in the shadows of Mario.

Peach Toadstool is the princess of the Mushroom Kingdom and often takes up the role as damsel-in-distress. She's always in trouble as Bowser likes to kidnap her.

Bowser is the main enemy. He's a giant turtle with a spiky shell and he's usually able to breathe fire. Bowser wants to rule the entire Mushroom Kingdom. That's why he often attacks Mario's country and always tries to kidnap Princess Peach.
