The first Super Mario Bros game was released in 1985 but Mario actually appeared in the classic game Donkey Kong way back in 1981. Since then, he has been in over 200 games, many TV shows, Anime and books. He was played by Bob Hoskins in a live action movie in 1993 and the new animated ‘The Super Mario Bros. Movie’ starring Chris Pratt is heading to theatres in April.
