| |
| |In [[List of games by date#1981|1981]], Nintendo had their first blockbuster release with [[Shigeru Miyamoto]]'s creation - ''Donkey Kong''. Originally released in the arcades, ''Donkey Kong'' became a very popular game amongst gamers, eventually spawning many remakes and ports. In this game, [[Donkey Kong]] was the antagonist who kidnapped [[Mario]]'s girlfriend Lady (later renamed [[Pauline]]). It was later ported to the many home systems including the Atari 2600, the ColecoVision and the Nintendo Entertainment System. This is a simple platformer, where the player must control Mario while jumping and avoiding obstacles and making it to Donkey Kong.

| |The following year, another arcade game was created, ''Donkey Kong Jr.'' This time, the roles were reversed. Mario was the villain, and DK was a damsel in distress. Here, [[Donkey Kong Jr.]], Donkey Kong's son, had to save his kidnapped father from Mario. The gameplay is the same as the original Donkey Kong; Donkey Kong Jr. must avoid traps set off by Mario to save Donkey Kong by jumping and simply avoiding them.

| |
| |'''''Mario Bros.''''' is the second arcade game starring [[Mario]] as a protagonist, coming after ''[[Donkey Kong (game)|Donkey Kong]]''. The game's main attraction was featuring cooperative two-player functionality with Mario's recently introduced brother, [[Luigi]]. The two are in a sewer, battling various enemies leaking from the plumbing, bashing the floors underneath them to stun them before kicking them away. Many aspects from this game recur in later ''Mario'' franchise games, notably [[coin]]s, [[Warp Pipe|pipe]]s, [[POW Block]]s, and enemy [[Shellcreeper|turtle]]s. The game has been ported innumerable times to various systems.

| |'''''Donkey Kong Jr. + Jr. Sansū Lesson''''' was released exclusively as the pack-in game for the {{wp|Sharp Nintendo Television|Sharp C1 Famicom TV}}, a combined [[Family Computer]] and television unit in Japan. It is a compilation of the games ''[[Donkey Kong Jr. (game)|Donkey Kong Jr.]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Jr. Math]]''. The game is not exactly a combination, but rather a "platter" of the two ''[[Donkey Kong (series)|Donkey Kong]]''-related games. It combines half of the 1- and 2-Player game modes from ''Donkey Kong Jr''. and the +-×÷ Exercise mode from ''Donkey Kong Jr. Math''. The latter is from the prototype version as ''Donkey Kong Jr. Math'' was still in development upon this game's release.

| |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.

| |Owing to the Western branches of Nintendo feeling that the Japanese ''Super Mario Bros. 2'' was too similar to the first game and too difficult for American players, they instead chose to port the Japanese game ''[[Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic]]'' and release it as ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'' in their markets for the NES. New species first appear in this game, including [[Albatoss]] and [[Shy Guy]]s, and it introduces [[Wart]] and [[Birdo]]. ''Super Mario Bros. 2'' is also the first game to feature four distinctly playable characters, as Mario, Luigi, Princess Toadstool, and [[Toad]] had to save the dream world of [[Subcon]] from [[Wart]]. After fighting their way through seven strange worlds, they eventually saved Subcon, and Mario woke up from his dream.

| |
| Despite being a port of a pre-existing Japanese game, the Western ''Super Mario Bros. 2'' would eventually see release in its own right in Japan as ''Super Mario USA''.

| |Another two years had passed by the time the next mainstream, non-port ''Mario'' game had been released: ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. This was by far the most expansive ''Mario'' game on the NES, as it featured many levels, [[List of items|item]]s, and [[List of enemies|enemies]], and became a huge critical and commercial success. Many of the new species would become staples of the series, including [[Boo]]s, [[Fire Piranha Plant]]s and [[Dry Bones]]. In the story, Bowser and his seven [[Koopalings]] wreaked havoc across the [[Mushroom World]] after turning all of the [[Mushroom King]]s into various animals. Mario and Luigi had to traverse through many worlds, castles, seas, forests, and deserts to fix the wrongs the Koopalings had caused. Eventually, the brothers reached Bowser and defeated him, rescuing Princess Toadstool once again.

| |The first game in the ''Dr. Mario'' series; it was released for the [[Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]] and for the [[Game Boy]] in 1990. The game brought the basic concept of the series to the players' attention immediately, as they would start the game off having to reorganize falling vitamin capsules in order to eradicate viruses from the screen. Once all viruses has been eliminated, the player would move on to the next [[level]]. As the game progressed, each level rose in difficulty, providing more viruses for the player to eliminate and less space to maneuver the [[Capsule|vitamin capsules]] in. ''Dr. Mario'' was ported and remade many times after its original release.
