Happy Birthday Mario...

It was 37 years ago today, Mario taught us all how to play...

Yes, Super Mario Bros hit the arcades 37 years ago, Mario and Luigi took to doing some underground plumbing with all sorts of weird creatures emerging out of the pipes. Turtles, crabs, even fighterflies would do their best to slow down the intrepid Bros.

Over the years we have all grown up, some of us, maybe we have got a life, but not poor Mario and Luigi, over the years they have run, jumped, bounced, looked in another castle, become paper, entered the Olympics, raced around in karts, jumped from 2D to 3D, beaten bowser, beaten Donkey Kong, beaten Wario, Smash Bros, ridden dinosaurs, flown like a racoon...

After all these years, like death and taxes, one guarantee is that Mario and Luigi will jump again, not being restricted by going from left to right, their adventures will take us places that arcade cabinet could only of imagined (Had it had a super powered processor that only NASA could of made).
