Mario

The property known as Mario brings together Nintendo mascot universe, Mario and Luigi brothers and Mushroom Kingdom setting as its most persistent reference points. Princess Peach rescue, Bowser recurring villain and Super Mushroom power-up provide practical evidence of how the formula has expanded, narrowed or changed direction.
Relevant stories may examine precision platforming, Kart racing spin-offs and Party board games when they illuminate development, canon, availability or audience expectations. Role-playing subseries may represent one phase of the property, while Mario Kart 7 helps explain another change in focus or presentation. The category supports discovery and historical context without imposing one verdict on every release associated with Mario.
