Super Mario use to be the most popular adventure game in the eighties and nineties, not many people could afford a Famicom game during the eighties here in Nigeria and so you could only find a Famicom game only in the home of the wealthy individuals back then in my country. Not long afterwards, during the mid nineties almost every home could then afford it, following this new innovation was Super Mario, it was the favourite game in almost every home. Kids gist about it in school, they talk about the difficult stages and how to break through it, they also talk about cheats in the game and lots more.
Super Mario was developed by Shigeru Miyamoto and Takashi Tezuka and released in 1985 for the Famicom console and in 1987 for the NES console.
