Mario
I remember going on holiday to the beach one Easter when I was 6 (April 2000 to be exact). My cousins went with me and one of them brought along her 64. She had most of Mario's games on it (Super Mario 64, Mario Kart 64, Super Smash Bros, Mario party 1 and 2, Mario Golf alond with some other non-Mario games.). I remeber learning about Mario and all the characters in the series. I remeber SSB well as it featured Pikachu and Jigglypuff, as I liked Pokemon back then (I still do).

Later that year, my next door neighbour lent me his Super Nintendo for a couple of weeks. He had Super Mario Kart and a caveman game that escapes my memory. I remember pondering why it was so 'super' if it came before the 64, I also noticed the difference between the two Mario Kart games and how SMK seemed to be covered in lego bricks.

Come Christmas 2000 both one of my other cousins and I recieved 64s. We both got Mario Kart 64 while my cousin got Diddy Kong Racing and a second controller and I got Banjo Kazooie. Eventually I got a second controller. By Christmas 2001 I had Pokemon Stadium as well. By this point I also had a GBA with Warioland 4 and a GBC Lonney Tunes game.

By Christmas 2004 I had many more 64 and GBA games, but only a few Mario ones; Super Mario Advance and Mario Kart Super Circuit. After that, I didn't get any more Mario games for quite some time.

At the end of 2007, I got a Wii. I got Mario Party 8 for Christmas that year and Mario Kart, Super Mario Galaxy and SSBB soon followed. At the same time, I got a DS with Mario Kart, Mario and Luigi, New Super Mario Bros, Yoshi's Island and Super Princess Peach. I also bought Super Mario Sunshine and SSBM for the Wii, along with a Gamecube controller.

The Future
As time goes on I hope to get more Mario games and more consoles to play them on.
