One of the most famous gaming characters of all time is Mario, from the game series with the same name. He is an Italian plumber and he lives in the Mushroom Kingdom. Most of the times his main objective is to save the Pricess Peach from the negative character – the dragon called Bowser. Among the many series of games with Mario, he had some other enemies such as: Wario or Donkey Kong.
The character was created on the Nintendo gaming console, and he was the mascot of Nintendo for many years. In this time he appeared in more than 200 video games…all sorts of games: he first appeared in platform games, then in racing games (the Mario Kart series), then in sports games (such as Mario Tennis or Mario Golf), role playing games (Paper Mario), fighting games and also puzzle games.
As we said earlier, Mario is one of the most famous games in all the gaming history, and the Mario series are the best selling video game series of all time. This game had sold more than 210 million units. As the game become popular, there were also made all sorts of products inspired by Mario, such as: movies, comic books, TV shows, a line of clothing and others.
Today you don’t necessarily need to have a Nintendo gaming console to play a Mario game, because you can find most of them on the internet, for free. So today we’ll discuss more about one of the many free online Mario games, and we’ll begin with the first Mario game ever, the one that was launched many years ago, and which was played by millions of people from all over the world. You can find the game here, and it is called “Super Mario Bros”. since the original game was on a gaming console, you were playing using a joystick.
But since this game is on the internet, you will play it by using your keyboard. So the joystick keys are replaced by keys on the keyboard, and they are: the Enter key is the Start button from the joystick, the Control key is the Select button, the X key is the A button, the Z key is the B button and the arrow keys are the arrows from the joystick. This game can also be played in 2 players mode, and the second player will play with the brother of Mario – Luigi.

Since this is a platform game, you will have to move forward, and advance through the levels (forward means that you will always go in the right direction). On your way you will have to avoid obstacles, kill enemies, collect different items and make your way to the dragon from each level and save the princess. To kill an enemy simply jump on his head, or shoot him if you have collected the flower. But first you will collect a mushroom, and this one will make you bigger.
And if you are already big, and you collect a flower, then you will be able to shoot. If an enemy touches you, you won’t directly die, but you will first get back from the “shooting mode” to “big mode”, and when you get touched again, you will become smaller, which is the initial mode. But if you fall into a gap, it won’t matter how big you are, you will die and then start the game again, with the initial mode. Most of the enemies will die if you jump on them, but it’s not the same for the carnivore plants.
You can only destroy them by shooting them. There are so many more things to be said about this old but very cool game, but we’ll let you discover all of its secrets. Good luck!
