2025 marks 40 years of Super Mario Bros. Holy crap. Where did the time go?
I don't know about many others, but I had the pleasure of playing Super Mario Bros for the 1st time in the arcade. I post up on this in the What was your 1st Arcade Experience? (https://www.chickendinnergaming.com/forum/arcade/what-was-your-1st-arcade-experience-1381/) topic in Arcade (https://www.chickendinnergaming.com/forum/arcade/)
The following Mario website is really hammering into the 40 years of SMB:

There also a Super Mario Galaxy movie coming April 2026 - this is in collaboration with Illumination. Im a fan of several Illumination movies.
What are your best Super Mario Bros memories and stories?
Post it up!
I have played that first Mario game maybe once or twice and it wasn't at an arcade. I had a family before I got into my first Mario game which was Super Mario World. That was the good ole days when they gave a pack-in. My first game console was the Sega Genesis. The Commodore 64 don't count.
