Free Mario Games Online

Mario is a virtual character designed by Shigeru Miyamoto. He became Nintendo's mascot. From the 1980s until now, Mario has appeared in more than 200 video games, having less or starring significant roles.

From platform games, beginning with Donkey Kong, Mario now appears in different types of video games, like puzzle, fighting, racing, sports and role- playing.

Mario looks like a pudgy, short, Italian- American plumber whose residence is in the Mushroom Kingdom. He stops Bowser plenty of times from kidnapping Princess Peach and taking over the Mushroom Kingdom. That is not the only rival he has got, there are Wario and Donkey Kong, as well. Since 1995, Mario's voice for the game has been doubled by Charles Martinet.

Mario is one of the biggest most known characters in video game industry and his avatar is usually associated with video games, as Nintendo's mascot. It is the best- selling video game that was ever created, selling more than 210 million units. Besides platform games, Mario also appeared in other types of video games, such as role-playing games, like, for example, Paper Mario, sports series, like Mario Golf and Mario Tennis and Mario Kart racing games. The game has also been an inspiration to comics, television shows and licensed merchandise.

The designers of http://www.mariogame.info/ are just loyal fans of the character, their business with Nintendo being equal to zero. At MarioGame.info, they seek to offer a site where fans of the Super Mario Games series can play their favorite versions, in flash. They also have a forum where one can discuss Super Mario Games with other fans and they can also ask for new Super Mario Games.

There are a lot of free Super Mario Flash Games to choose from! There is an old Mario now updated to a 3.0 flash version. What is funny is that if you click the right button of the mouse, there will appear a window saying, among others, "Nice try! :P". I guess they thought some will try to steal that mushroom...

They also have Super Mario Flash Version 2, which they refer to as a strange little remake after the original game. The primary goals are to kill Goombas and Koopas and collect coins. Mario Star Catcher 2 is some kind of maze/ puzzle Mario Game where you must assemble coins and grab the Star utilizing different sorts of jumps and blocks. Super Mario Bullet Bill is about breaking the blocks and killing the Goombas while you try to stay away from the platforms. In Super Mario Rampage, he even has a gun and asks for justice from his old rivals. Just like in the previous game, in Luigi's Revenge, the latter desires to shoot the Koopas around.

There are also weirder free online Mario games, like Super Mario Video Poker, where you must rake in the coins, Super Mario Strikers Soccer Flash, where he has to keep a ball in the air as long as he possibly can with his head or even Super Mario Dress Up, where you get a chance to dress up Mario. The designers say it is from time to time hard to decide precisely what goes where, but you will finally find out.

Among other free games from this website, Super Smash Flash is a remake after Super Smash Bros, but made in flash. This is one of the most played games on the site and it is very fun. It even has Super Smash Flash Cheats and Hints under the game, because you have to unravel many characters. Super Mario Halloween Flash Game is resembling to Super Mario Flash very much, except that it has a Halloween Theme.

Another remake is the Super Mario World Revived, which is made after the Classic Super Mario World Game. Of course, there are some remakes that are not so good, like Super Mario Kart Xtreme and Super Mario Remix. The first is about avoiding the obstacles and finishing the race and the latter has a few other non- Mario games.

The website just flows with games! Indeed, they are big fans of the original game and their ideas are good, for a game as simple as Mario is now. If you do not collect Mushrooms for blocks in Super Mushroom Mario, you collect falling coins while avoiding to catch falling enemies in Super Mario Power Coins. If you do not jump on the heads of Mario's old rivals while trying to stay away from them as they keep falling from the sky or pacing in the arena, like in Super Mario Rush Arena, you rush to the Princess while avoiding obstacles and racing the clock, like in Super Mario Time Attack. The mushroom eater is never tired!
