The Evolution of Mario

Posted by Zonk on from the mama-mia! dept.

Decaffeinated Jedi writes "NFG Games offers an interesting look at the visual evolution of Nintendo's Mario from his humble beginnings as a monkey-chasing carpenter to his more recent incarnations as a Koopa-stomping plumber. The retrospective doesn't stray into 3D Mario territory, but it does include every 2D version of Mario released between 1981 and 2004 -- including early consoles like the Atari 2600 and Colecovision."

    Interesting. I'm not familiar with the existance of these titles, but I'm getting a searing headache at their mention. How odd is that?
