Happy Birthday Mario

And while far too many people are marking this day from the eponymous release with Nintendo in 1985, most everyone familiar with Mario remembers that he was the man trying to rescue Princess Peach in Donkey Kong in 1981.

Here's a great video timeline to refresh our memory.



Sad to say that Mario has had some creepy and odd bumps along the way on television.......



And we all know that Hollywood had to jump in on the Mario hype...........



There are probably more of us that know it have grown up with Mario and his strange adventures. So where will he and us be 25 years from now?
