"1989: Super Mario Bros. 3 (NES)
The best-selling game of all time. "

Surely the original NES Super Mario Bros sold more copies?  ???  Everyone I knew had the original, but I've never even seen the 3rd one.

If you don't count bundled games, Super Mario Bros. 3 is the best-selling game of all time (about 18 million). The original Super Mario Bros. sold about 40 million...but that includes "free" copies bundled with the console.

Of course, that had nothing at all to do with The Wizard.  :P

Who the hell is Mario and why all the fuss?   :dunno

He's that little Italian guy that climbed all of those ladders and dodged all of your flaming barrels in order to steal the Pinewood Princess away from you.  :)

Well if you happen to see this little girly guy horseboy, be sure and tell him to pack a LUNCH!

The Wizard helped but I'm pretty damn sure that SMB3 awesomeness also had a big impact. I don't think any other SMB game has ever topped SMB3 in coolness. Sure Mario64 was cool jumping into the 3D platform world but SMB3 still had overall fun factor way out.

The Mario story is in the history.dat. SMB3 seems a little slow-going...but at least they got rid of the playchoice split-screen.
