History of Mario: Difference between revisions

''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'' depicts Mario's beginnings by delivery of a [[stork]] at nearly the same time as Luigi, suggesting a twin birth. ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' is usually considered as one of the first media chronologically in Mario's history, but a few other sources, usually older than ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'', depict different beginnings. In ''[[Super Mario Momotarō]]'', for instance, two elderly [[Hammer Bro]]thers have found and raised Mario, who emerged out of a peach that has fallen from the sky. Mario here resembles his older self, although smaller and without a cap. The story in ''Super Mario Momotarō'', however, is a retelling of a popular Japanese fairy tale and may have no actual bearing on Mario's history. The ''[[Nintendo Comics System]]'' comic entitled "[[Family Album "The Early Years"]]" is another early medium that depicts Mario's childhood. According to it, Mario has taken an early interest in plumbing, although frequently misbehaving, such as making his father's pipe emit bubbles instead of smoke. Mario is also adept at sports, scoring home runs in his neighborhood softball team. Mario at birth is shown to have full hair on the head and facial stubble that quickly became a mustache. The comic also depicts Luigi as several years younger than Mario, whereas he is depicted as Mario's younger twin in the video games.
