For the first time appeared as a character in the Jummpman blooming arcade game Donkey Kong, the figure Mario worldwide acceptance to them by the Jump 'n Run games of the series Super Mario for Nintendo's home consoles.

By extending the movement of the character the series has been continuously developed and exercised a decisive influence on the Jump 'n Run-genre.

1979 tried the Japanesse game maker Nintendo, by recreating and selling coin-operated arcade machines in the U.S. to take root. The successful Japanese arcade game Radar Scope helped the newly formed subsidiary, Nintendo of America (NoA) is not hoped-for breakthrough, it sold only 1,200 of the 3,500 units produced. Nintendo President Hiroshi Yamauchi turned to the young developer Shigeru Miyamoto, Nintendo games, and entrusted him with the development of a new game, which should be installed in the remaining Radar Scope machines. With a Popeye game, it was hoped, would be adjusted to the desired success in America. However, Nintendo lost the rights to the Popeye character before the scheduled publication of the final game.

Miyamotto then admit the order to design a kayin game based on his own ideas. Miyamoto developed the game Donkey Kong, that of a carpenter (plumber Mario has been acting only from Mario Bros.), whose girlfriend has been kidnapped by a gorilla. It is the responsibility of the player to control the carpenter, evade him barrels and other objects and to climb ladders to the gorilla eventually seek and to save her friend.

The mustache was better represented as a mouth, forming the boundary of the thick nose. The colorful clothes made a good contrast with the black background, and overall was the distinction between body and arms so that they recognized their movement. With the cap, it was not necessary to represent the movement of Marios hair when he jumped. completed in 1981, Donkey Kong has over 65,000 machines sold by the most successful arcade game Pac-Man and Nintendo of America brought the longed-for breakthrough.

Miyamoto originally wanted to call his character Mr. Video . It was decided at first, but Nintendo had the name Jumpman until NoA President Minoru Arakawa, the idea for the name to Mario. Inspired, the new name and the Italian origin of the character through similarities with the landlord of the Nintendo building, Mario Segale was. The combination of the overalls and pants were made in later games from blue-red to red-brown and finally red- changed to blue. In spite of ever more powerful video game hardware and the associated improved possibilities of realistic graphical representation Mario has kept his comic-like appearance to this day.
