"It's a-me Mario!"

The very first Mario character to appear on a on a screen was Donkey Kong in 1981. When he was released it was one of the most popular arcade games ever, this was the birth of Mario.

8 years later Mario appeared for the very first time on the SNES and was by far the most popular and well known characters in gaming history. 7 years later Mario appeared yet again, this time on the Nintendo, Super Mario 64. Along with Perfect Dark, it proved to be the most popular game on the Nintendo.

Over the next 4 years Mario was appearing all the time with: Super Mario Deuluxe for the Game Boy, Mario Party 12and3, Mario Paper and Super Smash Bros. These proved to be some of the most well known, popular and most selling and took the world by storm.

Now over the next year we will see another two Mario games, this time on the GameCube. These games are mario Sunshine and another mario game that hasn't been named.

So the most popular game characters? Maybe, but there have also been other magor his for different consoles such as, Crash Bandicoot and Sonic but they didn't appear on toys as did Mario believe it or not!

And so I think Mario is the best after appearing in and on so many things,

And so I give him a rating of-100%!

I only have afew Advance games but they're all brilliant, i'm looking forward to Sonic too! + I want to get Chu Chu Rocket :) funny game.

At first i thought i had wasted my money buying a GBA, becasue TOny hawks was the only decent launch title. But now i have seen sooooo many games coming out for it that i like. Doom, Wrestlemania, NBA Jam and sonic to name a few...

i'm looking forward to the FPS games and Advance Wars, is that game like Red Alert? or a 2d version of Rainbow 6??

I love my GBA and for anyone that hasn't got one, your mad if you don't!

Street fighter alpha 3 coming out for the GBA, should be proper hefty. nuff quality games coming out for GBA. NBA jam! one of my fave games from the 16 bit era.

I've got the Streetfighter film on video, OK it's got the worst acting I've ever seen, but c'mon! It's Sreetfighter!

i want one of them now! i think i remember having one during world cup 94. Damn thats going back a long way...i was only 11!
