| |
| |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.

The game is not exactly a combination, but rather a "platter" of the two ''[[Donkey Kong (series)|Donkey Kong]]''-related games.

The latter is from the prototype version as ''Donkey Kong Jr. Math'' was still in development upon this game's release.

| |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''.

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.

| |''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.

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.

| |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.

| |In 1982, 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.

However, it also has new features, such as the ability to change direction mid-[[jump]] and a slot machine [[minigame]].

| |Although a direct sequel to ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', ''[[Super Mario World]]'' had been released on a whole new home console — the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System]]. It was with this game that the ''Mario'' series had been upgraded from 8-bit to 16-bit graphics. Though the games' graphics would later be revolutionized once again, this was indeed a huge step at the time. During the story of ''Super Mario World'', while Mario, Luigi, and Princess Toadstool were vacationing in [[Dinosaur Land]], Bowser and his seven Koopalings once again kidnapped the Princess. With the help of the [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]]s and [[Dolphin]]s, the brothers traversed across the vast area of Dinosaur Land. As they made their way to Princess Toadstool, they thwarted each Koopaling who stood in their way until they reached Bowser. Once again, Bowser had been defeated and Princess Toadstool had been rescued.

| |''Super Mario Kart'' was the first entry in the series, released for the SNES in 1992. The game has a total of eight playable characters who, when computer-controlled, use special power-up items specific to each character (such as [[Yoshi Egg|egg]]s for Yoshi). The twenty tracks in this game, based on locations in ''[[Super Mario World]]'' (such as [[Donut Plains]]), are all short in length compared to other tracks in the series; thus, they are raced in five laps instead of the usual three. All player-characters featured here have reappeared in all later entries in the series, except for [[Koopa Troopa]] who has only returned intermittently, and [[Donkey Kong Jr.]] who would never again be used in the series except for the much later ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]''{{'}}s "[[Super Mario Kart Tour]]", which features his and Mario's respective 16-bit sprite work. Unlike other games in the series, ''Super Mario Kart'' allows players only a limited number of lives, which are lost whenever a racer loses and is "ranked out". A notable aspect of the game's presentation is its use of the SNES's {{wp|Mode 7}} graphics technology, which allows for free rotation and scaling of planes to give a three-dimensional appearance.

| |''Mario & Wario'' is a side-scrolling puzzle-platformer game designed by {{wp|Satoshi Tajiri}} and developed by [[Game Freak]] for the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System#Super Famicom|Super Famicom]] console. Released in August 1993, it is one of the few [[Mario (franchise)|''Mario'']] games to utilize the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System#Super NES Mouse|Super Famicom Mouse]] accessory. The gameplay focuses on guiding Mario, who has various objects on his head placed by Wario, through a series of levels consisting of various obstacles and traps. Because Mario has been rendered sightless and is constantly in danger of walking into hazards, the player controls the fairy [[Wanda]], who can protect Mario by changing the environment around him as he moves towards the levels' end.

| The game was initially planned to be localized for the North American market (as shown by it being previewed in the September 1993 issue of ''[[Nintendo Power]]'' and a Canadian ad for a {{wp|Kellogg's}} contest,<ref>[http://www.snescentral.com/article.php?id=0921 SNES Central: Mario & Wario]</ref> which [[:File:Mario&Wario Western Boxart.jpg|featured a tentative box art]]), but this localization ended up being canceled.

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.
