 |The first Yoshi game, simply called ''Yoshi'', is a two-dimensional puzzle game, with elements similar to those of [[wikipedia:Tetris|''Tetris'']]. The rules are fairly basic: the player must stack the same enemies on top of each other to make them disappear; the more the player does this, the more points they earn.

+|Just as ''Yoshi'' did, '''''[[Yoshi's Cookie]]''''' used many of the same elements found in ''Tetris''. In order for the player to earn points and clear a stage, they have to have an entire row or column of the same type of cookie lined up. Six type of cookies could be found in the game: Heart Cookies, Sunflower Cookies, Green Cookies, Checkered Cookies, Donut Cookies, and [[Yoshi Cookie]]s. A remake later appeared in ''[[Nintendo Puzzle Collection]]'' on the [[Nintendo GameCube]], along with ''[[Dr. Mario (game)|Dr. Mario]]'' and ''[[Tetris Attack|Panel De Pon]]''.

+|'''''Wario's Woods''''' is a puzzle game released for both the [[Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]] and [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES]] in 1994. The NES version was the last officially licensed game released for its console in North America and was the only game in its library to have an official rating by the {{wp|Entertainment Software Rating Board|ESRB}}. ''Wario's Woods'' is a falling block game where the objective is to clear the playing field of monsters by using bombs, arranging them into rows of matching colors. Unlike other puzzle games such as ''{{wp|Tetris}}'', where the player directly manipulates the game pieces, the player controls [[Toad]], who moves around the playing field and arranges them after they have fallen.

+|On September 13, 1985, Mario starred in his very first game on a home console, ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]''. Mario, and his brother Luigi, had to set out on a massive adventure across the [[Mushroom Kingdom]] to rescue [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]] and the [[Toad (species)|Mushroom Retainer]]s from the evil [[Bowser|King Bowser]]. After traversing through eight massive [[world]]s, filled with enemies, the brothers eventually reached [[Bowser's Castle]], finally rescuing Princess Toadstool. ''Super Mario Bros.'' was the best-selling video game for the NES in 1999,<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20060317005503/http://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/content_pages/record.asp?recordid=52404 Best-selling NES game]</ref> and, until being surpassed by ''Wii Sports'' in 2009, the best-selling video game of all time. ''Super Mario Bros.'' also had a major part in both the takeoff of the NES and the revival of the American video game industry after the crash in 1983. The game earned Mario a permanent position as Nintendo's mascot, and triggered a massive boom in the video game industry that still continues today.

+|After the success of ''Super Mario Bros.'', a sequel was released just one year later in [[Japan]] for the [[Family Computer Disk System]]. It uses a slightly altered version of ''Super Mario Bros.''{{'}}s engine, with different levels and new features including altered graphics and new enemy behavior, such as [[Blooper]]s flying in midair, wind to help the player jump across [[pit]]s, and other minor changes.
+While it was called ''Super Mario Bros. 2'' in Japanese, Nintendo of America originally deemed this game too challenging and too much like the original to sell well in Western countries<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20090125010751/http://wii.ign.com/articles/824/824330p1.html]</ref>. Instead, another game was ported as ''Super Mario Bros. 2'', and the Japanese ''Super Mario Bros. 2'' became known as ''[[Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels]]'' when included in the ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]'' remake years later.  It saw release in its original form in the West only when released on the Virtual Console in 2007.

+|''All Night Nippon Super Mario Bros.'' is an officially licensed hack of ''[[Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels]]''. Gameplay is the same, but many characters such as the [[Toad (species)|Mushroom Retainer]]s are replaced with Japanese celebrities from the radio show [[wikipedia:All Night Nippon|''All Night Nippon]]. Other changes are also made for this game, such as World 1 being set during nighttime and [[Princess Peach]]'s outfit was changed. The game was only released in Japan.

+|This Japan-only game is a simple update to the 1984 original, although Mario is in his normal outfit. Luigi is available for the second player. There is also a palette-swapped computer opponent that wears black and brown.
+''Japan Course'' was involved in a major contest. After finishing all the holes, players had an option of saving their score. If the score was good, the score could be recorded into a special blue disk that came with the game and sent via Disk Fax to Nintendo in Kyoto. The top 100 scorers received a plaque with their names on it, as well as a golden Disk Card with their name and rank programmed onto the title screen and it contains a harder golf course called the Champions' Course. 5000 other contestants received the Professional Course golden Disk Card which is not as difficult as the Champions' Course but still much harder than the original.

+|''U.S. Course'' was released months later and is also a Japan-exclusive game. It is more open, and a bird's-eye-view of the holes is not available during gameplay, making it a bit more challenging. In this game, Mario wears a blue shirt and red-and-white striped overalls. Luigi is not mentioned in the game or the instruction manual but the second player is a green palette-swap while player 3 is blue and player 4 is orange. There is also a hidden female playable character that can be unlocked.
+It also had a contest similar to ''Japan Course'' in which the main prize was a trophy and a golden ''Punch-Out!!'' [[Famicom]] cartridge. An unannounced prize was the golden disk ''Family Computer Golf: Prize Card'' which contained the harder Special Course. It was given out during the same contest but likely as part of a lottery to a thousand players whose submissions included a hole-in-one.

+|''Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic'' started development as a vertically scrolling ''Super Mario Bros.''-style game, eventually gaining horizontal scrolling as well to be more similar. Due to a licensing agreement with {{wp|Fuji TV|Fuji Television}}, it starred a family of Arabian characters owned by the network. This game would go on to become the western ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', with the Arabian characters replaced with Mario and friends, though other characters (namely enemies and bosses) remaining; many would become recurring to the series.
