On September 13th, 1985, Nintendo released Super Mario Bros. for the Famicom. While Mario had previously appeared in the Donkey Kong arcade game, Super Mario Bros. introduced the world to the mechanics that the character would become most known for. Since those days, the game has been ported to just about every Nintendo platform available, becoming one of the most popular games of all-time. In honor of the character’s anniversary, fans have been sharing their favorite Mario memories; one of Nintendo’s rivals even got in on the action! It just shows what an impact the game has made on the industry, and popular culture as a whole.

Mario has meant a lot to players around the world.
Happy #Mario35! My first game with the red guy was Christmas 2002, getting my first Nintendo console and game- a GBA with Mario Kart: Super Circuit. I later got the first 3 GBA Mario remakes in the early 00s, also a part of my very early Mario experience. I love them all. ๐ pic.twitter.com/RsNUtaUckN

It seems like every gamer has a favorite series entry.
If not for this game (and Super Mario World), I wouldโve never gotten into video games.
