40 years of Super Mario Bros

[BLUEVOODU]

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? topic in 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.
