Super Mario Series
Here are the games of the actual Mario series that led to Marios succsess.

Super Mario Bros
The original super mario bros is a famous game for Nintendo Entertainment System. The goal of the game is for Mario to rescue Princess Toadstool who is later called Princess Peach. She is captured by the feared koopa king lord Bowser. Mario through out the game must go through tons of levels to reach Bowsers main castle where he hides with Peach. Mario gets the fire power up in the game by hitting a Question Block. Some of these just contain coins, however few do have a fire flower power up that allows mario to throw fire balls.The other power up only matters if you are Mini Mario. This is because if you are already Super mario it has no effect. if you are super mario then get hit by a enemy you turn to Mini Mario. Get hit as Mini Mario and you will die unless you have the star. the Star is a item that makes you invincible for a brief time. Note: cliffs do not count. And finally there are brick blocks that if you break it will not usally do anything. Finally mario can jumpover ground blocks and cliffs. Dont forget there are mostly common enemys in the game such as Koopas and Goombas.
