Mario: Difference between revisions

Due to being a recurring major protagonist of a long-running video game series, Mario has extensive history spanning decades. Although his history does not follow an established canon, some of Mario's earliest games chronologically are in the ''Yoshi's Island'' series, depicting Mario's birth as a part of a twin delivery, with Luigi, by a stork. Sometimes, Mario has even interacted with his baby self, especially in ''Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time''. While most of Mario's adventures are told in straightforward narratives that involves rescuing Princess Peach from Bowser, various RPGs, comics, and animated films, including some ''Paper Mario'' and ''Mario & Luigi'' games involve a more extensive plot, sometimes with Mario even allying with Bowser to defeat a greater villain. Mario has also been involved in some crossovers, including with other Nintendo properties in the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]],  ''Sonic the Hedgehog'' in the ''[[Mario & Sonic (series)|Mario & Sonic]]'' series, ''Dragon Quest'' in ''[[Itadaki Street DS]]'' and ''[[Fortune Street]]'', and Rabbids in the ''[[Mario + Rabbids (series)|Mario + Rabbids series]]''. Mario's history also includes some appearances outside his own series, usually cameos.
