This article is about the main series of Super Mario platform games. For the franchise as a whole, not limited to platformers, see Super Mario (franchise).

The Super Mario series is a series of platform games and is the biggest and most prominent series in the Super Mario franchise. It started in 1985 with Super Mario Bros. on the Family Computer and subsequently the Nintendo Entertainment System, which has been followed by many sequels released on almost every Nintendo video game console to date, except the Game Boy Color and the Game Boy Advance, where only remakes, ports, or other spin-offs games were released and development was handled by other divisions and companies. The series started with 2D platformers, but also features 3D platform games, the first being Super Mario 64. The Super Mario Bros. series, a subset of the greater Super Mario series, comprises 2D side-scrolling games such as the aforementioned Super Mario Bros., New Super Mario Bros. U, and Super Mario Bros. Wonder.^[1]

Previous form of the logo

Most of these games follow the story of Mario, usually accompanied by his brother Luigi and sometimes his friends Toad and Yoshi, in his quest to rescue Princess Peach from Bowser, who has kidnapped her and wants to conquer the Mushroom Kingdom or another location. The Mario brothers must adventure through several areas and defeat Bowser's Minions on their journey. Some of the games deviate from this in some way, such as Bowser having a different evil plan that does not involve kidnapping Peach (as in Super Mario 3D World and Super Mario Bros. Wonder), or being entirely absent in favor of a different villain (as in Super Mario Bros. 2 and Super Mario Land).

The series is developed by several Nintendo divisions. The main games have been developed by Nintendo Entertainment Analysis and Development, with the exception of the Super Mario Land titles, which were handled by Nintendo R&D 1. Following its merge with Nintendo Software Planning & Development in September 2015, the series is now handled by Nintendo Entertainment Planning and Development.

In 2010, the series celebrated the Super Mario Bros. 25th Anniversary. The celebration involved a series of videos showing various tricks throughout the series' games on the Wii's Nintendo Channel, as well as releasing a Wii port of Super Mario All-Stars, which included a history booklet of the Super Mario series and a CD containing several songs from games in the series. In 2015, the series celebrated the Super Mario Bros. 30th Anniversary with the commemorative game being Super Mario Maker. Special amiibo based on Mario's sprite from Super Mario Bros. with both classic and modern color schemes were released as well. 2020 marked the Super Mario Bros. 35th Anniversary with several games released, including Super Mario 3D All-Stars.

Main games

Title
Cover, original release, and system	Synopsis
Super Mario Bros.
Template:Release NES	Super Mario Bros. is the first entry of this series. Mario and his brother, Luigi, have to set out on an adventure across the Mushroom Kingdom to rescue Princess Toadstool and the mushroom retainers from the evil King Bowser. After traversing through eight enemy-filled worlds, the brothers eventually reach Bowser's Castle, finally rescuing Toadstool. Super Mario Bros. was the best-selling video game for the NES in 1999^[2] 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 it triggered a massive boom in the video game industry that still continues today.
Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels
Template:Release Disk System	After the success of Super Mario Bros., a sequel was released one year later in Japan for the Family Computer Disk System. It uses a slightly altered version of Super Mario Bros.' engine, with different levels and new features including altered graphics and new enemy behavior, such as Bloopers flying in midair, wind to help the player jump across pits, and other minor changes. While the game was called Super Mario Bros. 2 in Japanese, Nintendo of America originally deemed this game too challenging and too much like the original to sell well in Western countries.^[3] Instead, another game was released as Super Mario Bros. 2 outside of Japan, and the Japanese Super Mario Bros. 2 became known as Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels when included in the Super Mario All-Stars remake years later. The first release of the original game outside Japan was its Virtual Console release in 2007.
Super Mario Bros. 2
Template:Release NES	Owing to Nintendo of America's decision to not release the Japanese Super Mario Bros. 2 outside Japan, the company instead altered the game Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic, which otherwise never got released outside Japan, to replace the main characters with Mario, Luigi, Princess Toadstool, and Toad, releasing this version of the game as Super Mario Bros. 2 outside Japan. This game was released in Japan a few years later as Super Mario USA. Several enemies first featured in this game, such as Shy Guys, Bob-ombs, and Birdo, would go on to become recurring in the franchise. Super Mario Bros. 2 is also the first game in the series to feature four distinct playable characters, as Mario, Luigi, Princess Toadstool, and Toad must save the dream world of Subcon from the villainous Wart. After fighting their way through seven worlds, they eventually save Subcon, and Mario wakes up from his dream.
Super Mario Bros. 3
Template:Release NES	Another two years had passed by the time the next mainstream, non-port Super Mario game had been released: Super Mario Bros. 3. This was by far the most expansive Super Mario game on the NES, as it featured many levels, items, and enemies and became a huge critical and commercial success. Many of the new species would become staples of the series, including Boos, Fire Piranha Plants and Dry Bones. In the story, Bowser and his seven Koopalings wreak havoc across the Mushroom World after turning all of the kings into various animals. Mario and Luigi have to traverse through many worlds, castles, seas, forests, and deserts to fix the wrongs the Koopalings have caused. Eventually, the brothers reach Bowser and defeat him, rescuing Princess Toadstool once again.
Super Mario Land
Template:Release Game Boy	Super Mario Land is the first Super Mario game not developed by Nintendo EAD but rather its partner division: Nintendo R&D1. The game features a similar aesthetic and gameplay to Super Mario Bros., adapting it to the limited technology of the Game Boy at the time. The game is set in the land of Sarasaland and has Mario venture through its four kingdoms to rescue its ruler, Princess Daisy, from the clutches of the evil alien Tatanga. This game is unique in that it features auto-scrolling shooting sections where Mario rides a submarine or a plane. Although Super Mario Land and its sequel, Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins, were originally excluded from the main Super Mario series, they were included alongside the more traditional games in material for the 30th and 35th anniversaries of Super Mario Bros.,^[4] and the history page from the Mario Portal and "The official home for Mario" websites.^[5]^[6]
Super Mario World
Template:Release SNES	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 Super Mario franchise 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 are vacationing in Dinosaur Land, Bowser and his seven Koopalings once again kidnap the princess. With the help of the Yoshis and Dolphins, the brothers traverse across the vast area of Dinosaur Land. As they make their way to Toadstool, they thwart each Koopaling who stands in their way until they reach Bowser. Once again, Bowser is defeated and Toadstool is rescued.
Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins
Template:Release Game Boy	Being the sequel to the original Super Mario Land, Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins features aesthetics and gameplay from Super Mario World. After returning from rescuing Daisy in the previous game, Mario discovers that Wario has seized the former's realm of Mario Land and taken control of his castle by scattering his six Golden Coins. Mario now must venture through the enemy-infested Mario Land to recover his valuable coins, get access to his castle, and confront Wario once and for all.
Super Mario 64
Template:Release Nintendo 64	Super Mario 64 was released simultaneously with its system, the Nintendo 64. The game was a great success. It was the first fully three-dimensional Super Mario game to ever be made, thus revolutionizing the appearance of Super Mario games to date. The game sold over eleven million copies worldwide, as of 2015.^[7] This was also the second game to call Princess Peach by her current name (with Yoshi's Safari being the first). In the game, Mario is invited to the Mushroom Castle to eat a cake she has baked. However, when Mario arrives at her castle, he discovers that Bowser has taken it over and has stolen almost all of the castle's Power Stars—there are some that he did not know existed. As Mario traverses through fifteen different painting worlds, he eventually recovers enough Power Stars to battle Bowser and take back the castle, freeing Peach from her stained-glass prison.
Super Mario Sunshine
Template:Release GameCube	In 2002, Mario was back in action in Super Mario Sunshine, another three-dimensional platformer. While he is on his way to a vacation with Princess Peach and her loyal steward, Toadsworth, they discover a large glob of graffiti in the shape of Mario's head at the Delfino Airstrip. Mario then finds a machine, called FLUDD, that helps him rid the island of goop. After he collects a total of ten Shine Sprites, an impostor bearing a striking resemblance to Mario kidnaps Peach. Mario then must redeem his identity (because of Shadow Mario) by ridding the entire island of goop, all the while having to rescue Peach. Towards the end of his adventure, he discovers that Shadow Mario is actually Bowser Jr. in disguise. After fighting Bowser and Bowser Jr., Mario rescues Peach, finally allowing them to start their vacation.
New Super Mario Bros.
Template:Release Nintendo DS	New Super Mario Bros. is the tenth installment in the Super Mario series. It starts out when Bowser Jr. kidnaps Peach during a strange accident. Luigi is playable in this game as well. Luigi was not playable since Super Mario World. This is the first game since Super Mario World that features the classic 2D playstyle of the Super Mario Bros. games, substantially building upon it to create gameplay both classic and contemporary. The game features a solo story mode with Mario or Luigi, a two-player wireless game called Mario vs. Luigi, and a minigame mode for up to four players. It introduced various enemies and obstacles to the franchise alongside new power-ups: the Mega Mushroom, Mini Mushroom, and Blue Shell. It was released in 2006 for the Nintendo DS. It spiraled an indirect follow-up, New Super Mario Bros. Wii, and, later, a direct sequel, New Super Mario Bros. 2, alongside another indirect follow-up, New Super Mario Bros. U.
Super Mario Galaxy
Template:Release Wii	Super Mario Galaxy is the eleventh installment in the Super Mario series and the third 3D game in the series. However, unlike the previous two 3D installments for the Super Mario series, this game takes place in deep space. Mario attends the Star Festival at the request of Princess Peach, when the town comes under attack by Bowser's air forces. He abducts Peach's entire castle and warps it to the center of the universe, prompting Mario to save her. Most of the game's levels consist of many small planets and planetoids, while others have bigger planets. A new popular species and character appear, Luma and Rosalina. The game was released in 2007 for the Wii. This game spiraled a direct sequel, simply called Super Mario Galaxy 2. It is currently the only 3D game that has done so.
New Super Mario Bros. Wii
Template:Release Wii	Being the indirect follow-up to New Super Mario Bros. for the DS, New Super Mario Bros. Wii was released on November 12, 2009, in Australia. This installment includes four players simultaneously controlling their characters, a feature Shigeru Miyamoto had wanted for years. This game also returns the Koopalings, absent since Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga, in their first 3D models. In the story, Bowser and his minions kidnap Peach by using cake as a disguise. Mario, Luigi, Blue Toad, and Yellow Toad travel to eight worlds to save the princess. This game also reintroduces rideable Yoshis, although they can be ridden in only a few levels. The Penguin Suit and the Propeller Mushroom are new power-ups in this game. This game also includes the Super Guide, a demo video for those who are struggling in a particular level.
Super Mario Galaxy 2
Template:Release Wii	Super Mario Galaxy 2 is the thirteenth installment in the Super Mario series. It is also the fourth 3D game in the series and a direct sequel to Super Mario Galaxy. The title contains many elements from its predecessor, such as the story, the adventure being in outer space, recurring objects such as Launch Stars, recurring items including the Bee Mushroom, and the elements of gravity. However, the game introduces new elements such as the utilization of Yoshi and new power-ups such as the Cloud Flower. Rosalina reappears, and new characters of the Luma species appear, including Lubba. This is the third installment for the Wii in the Super Mario series.
Super Mario 3D Land
Template:Release Nintendo 3DS	Super Mario 3D Land is the fifth 3D game in the series and the fourteenth game overall. Super Mario 3D Land is a hybrid game described as a "3D game that plays like a 2D game," and therefore its levels are much more linear and compact than in the other 3D titles, more along the lines of the side-scrolling games. Many retro power-ups and characters return, such as the Super Leaf and Boom Boom. New power-ups are also introduced, such as Boomerang Mario and White Tanooki Mario. The game also introduces new enemies and a female partner of Boom Boom named Pom Pom.
New Super Mario Bros. 2
Template:Release Nintendo 3DS	New Super Mario Bros. 2 is another side-scroller in the series released in 2012 for the Nintendo 3DS. It is the third game in the New Super Mario Bros. line and a direct sequel to New Super Mario Bros. The game features an extremely large number of coins, which are the game's main focus, with the primary goal being to collect one million. The game also notably is very similar to New Super Mario Bros. Wii, reusing various things from it, while also featuring several elements from Super Mario Bros. 3, such as Raccoon Mario. A new power-up called the Gold Flower appears and turns Mario into Gold Mario.
New Super Mario Bros. U
Template:Release Wii U	New Super Mario Bros. U is a side-scroller released for the Wii U alongside the console's launch. The game features some elements from Super Mario World, such as an interconnected world map, Baby Yoshis, Sumo Bros., and Bony Beetles, and minor references such as diagonal pipes making a return. The game plays very similarly to New Super Mario Bros. Wii with its four-player mode—however, a player with a Wii U GamePad can create platforms in what Nintendo refers to as "Boost Mode." Additionally, the game also features single-player Challenges. It is the first Super Mario game to be released in high-definition. The game also introduces the Super Acorn power-up, with which Mario can become Flying Squirrel Mario.
Super Mario 3D World
Template:Release Wii U	Super Mario 3D World is the home console follow-up to Super Mario 3D Land. The game's main feature is the new Cat form, caused by picking up a Super Bell, alongside four-player simultaneous multiplayer. It features the entire playable cast of Super Mario Bros. 2 as playable characters, featuring the same abilities they have in said game, as well as Rosalina as an unlockable playable character. The story follows Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, and Toad as they attempt to rescue the Sprixie Princesses that Bowser has captured and free the Sprixie Kingdom. Other new power-ups include the Double Cherry and the Lucky Bell.
Super Mario Maker
Template:Release Wii U	Super Mario Maker features a game creation system that allows players to create their own 2D Super Mario levels. Players can choose between four different styles based on Super Mario Bros., Super Mario Bros. 3, Super Mario World, and New Super Mario Bros. U for their levels, each adapting certain mechanics and power-ups exclusive to the original games. Level creations could be submitted to the internet so players could share their levels worldwide. Super Mario Maker was released on time for the series' 30th anniversary.
Super Mario Run
December 15, 2016 iOS	Super Mario Run is an auto-runner platform game and the first dedicated Super Mario title for mobile devices. It was released first on iOS in December 2016, and it was released for Android in March 2017. The game is free-to-start, with optional in-app content to purchase at a one-time fee. Its gameplay is similar to that of the New Super Mario Bros. subseries but with a different control style. Like Super Mario 3D World, it features the cast of Super Mario Bros. 2 as playable characters, alongside Yoshi, Toadette, and Princess Daisy, who all make their first fully playable appearances in a 2D Super Mario game.
Super Mario Odyssey
October 27, 2017 Nintendo Switch	Super Mario Odyssey released for the Nintendo Switch in late 2017. As a new entry in the 3D games and a new sandbox-style 3D Super Mario game after Super Mario 64 and Super Mario Sunshine, it focuses on Mario and a new character named Cappy (who takes the form of the Mario Cap) visiting kingdoms far from the Mushroom Kingdom and collecting Power Moons, ultimately in an attempt to prevent Bowser force-marrying Princess Peach and to rescue Cappy's sister Tiara. Cappy has multiple uses, such as being thrown like a boomerang (which can be used to control life forms and inanimate objects) and jumping off him in midair like a platform. In addition, this is the first main Super Mario game to be compatible with amiibo, and it was launched alongside a trio of amiibo based on the game.
Super Mario Maker 2
June 28, 2019 Nintendo Switch	Super Mario Maker 2 is the sequel to the Wii U title Super Mario Maker. This sequel introduces many new additions and improvements, such as slopes, more level themes, and a Super Mario 3D World style.
Super Mario Bros. Wonder
October 20, 2023 Nintendo Switch	Super Mario Bros. Wonder is a side-scroller for the Nintendo Switch. Its plot involves Mario and his allies setting out to save the Flower Kingdom from Bowser. The game plays similarly to the New Super Mario Bros. subseries with its four-player mode. The game's central mechanic is Wonder Effects, which are triggered by collecting Wonder Flowers. Collecting them in different levels causes various different effects. It also introduces three new power-ups: the Elephant Fruit, Bubble Flower, and Drill Mushroom, which transform characters into their Elephant forms, Bubble forms, and Drill forms, respectively. This is also the first game to feature Kevin Afghani succeeding Charles Martinet in voicing Mario and Luigi.

Related games

These original games are related to the Super Mario series while not being considered part of it by official Nintendo websites. Many of them feature the adventures of characters other than Mario, sometimes leading into their own series. Notably, Shigeru Miyamoto stated that he considered Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island to be part of the core Super Mario franchise in an interview published in 2012.^[8]

Title
Cover, original release, and system	Synopsis
Super Mario Bros. Special
Template:Release NEC PC-8801, Sharp X1	Super Mario Bros. Special is a game made by Hudson Soft and licensed by Nintendo for the NEC PC-8801 and Sharp X1 series of Japanese PCs, and later released in South Korea for the Samsung SPC-1500 in 1987. Super Mario Bros. Special is the second sequel to Super Mario Bros., released a few months after Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels in 1986. While superficially very similar to the original Super Mario Bros., the game features original levels but scrolls screen-by-screen rather than smoothly. Jumping and running physics also differ from the original, providing a more challenging experience than Super Mario Bros. Due to the computers' technology being slightly inferior to that of the NES/Famicom, the graphics and audio differ from the original NES game as well, with the X1 utilising more colors and smoother scrolling than the PC-88, and does not include Luigi or a multiplayer mode.
Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic
Template:Release Family Computer Disk System	Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic started development as a vertically scrolling Super Mario Bros.-style game, eventually gaining horizontal scrolling as well to be more similar. Due to a licensing agreement with Fuji Television, it starred a family of Arabian characters owned by the network. 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.
Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3
Template:Release Game Boy	Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3 is the third and final original Super Mario Land title and the first installment in the Wario Land series, released in 1994, five years after its first predecessor and two years after its second predecessor. Taking place after his defeat in Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins, Wario decides to go on a quest to earn himself enough money and riches to get himself a castle of his own. During his quest, he finds many treasures as he battles Captain Syrup and her army, the Black Sugar Gang. The gameplay in Wario Land differs slightly from the previous Super Mario Land installments. For example, if the player holds down the B button, then Wario does not run. His speed does increase, however, if Wario is using the Jet Wario power-up, which allows him to temporarily fly through the air at super speed. His other power-ups include Bull Wario, which gives him super strength and the ability to stick to ceilings and conveyor belts, and the Dragon Wario power-up, which allows him to breathe fire. Wario is also able to hold and throw enemies (as well as coins, which are usually required to exit a stage).
Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island
Template:Release SNES	While the title suggests it being a sequel to Super Mario World, Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island is in fact the prequel not only to the Super Mario series but the chronological first game of the whole Super Mario franchise. The game starts off on the day the Mario Bros. were born and are to be delivered to their parents by a dedicated stork. Foretelling the threat they will represent to the Koopa clan in the future, Kamek tries to kidnap the babies from the stork but only manages to snatch one baby (Baby Luigi) and imprisons the stork as well. The other baby (Baby Mario) falls on Yoshi's Island where he is picked by the Yoshis that reside in there. The Yoshis come to the decision to aid the baby to rescue his brother and the stork from the Koopa clan led by the young Baby Bowser.
New Super Luigi U
Template:Release Wii U	New Super Luigi U is an additional content pack for New Super Mario Bros. U that was also released as a stand-alone game to celebrate the Year of Luigi, available at retail until the end of the 2013. It has all-new levels and Luigi supplants Mario as the lead character, with Nabbit becoming the fourth playable character, taking Mario's place.
Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker
Template:Release Wii U	Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker is a puzzle-platform game, a spin-off and prequel of Super Mario 3D World based on Captain Toad's Adventures stages from the latter but featuring extensive depth and variety. The game also features Toadette as a new playable character, but also takes the role of damsel-in-distress. A port was released on July 13, 2018 for the Nintendo Switch and Nintendo 3DS, which replaces the bonus stages based on Super Mario 3D World with stages based on kingdoms from Super Mario Odyssey.
Super Mario Bros. 35
October 1, 2020 Nintendo Switch	Super Mario Bros. 35 was a side-scrolling, battle royale platform game where 35 players competed against each other until one player remained standing.

Title
Cover, original release, and system	Synopsis
VS. Super Mario Bros.
Template:Release VS. System	VS. Super Mario Bros. is a two-player arcade game released in North America in 1986. The game is mostly the same as the original Super Mario Bros.; Mario or Luigi went on a quest to save the princess from Bowser and restore order to the Mushroom Kingdom. The game is made harder than Super Mario Bros. in that it had fewer warp zones and more enemies, along with options for the arcade owner to make it more difficult still and thus restrict the time an average player got for their money. The game replaced "duplicate" levels from the original with levels which would later be used in the Japanese Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels.
Super Mario Bros. (Game & Watch)
Template:Release Game & Watch	In 1986, one year after the release of Nintendo's first biggest commercial success, the company released a simplified version of the game on their Game & Watch system. It essentially has the same plot, reduced down to only eight levels; however, after beating every level, they will have to be repeated. Mario will have to go through nine loops, avoiding Lakitus and Bullet Bills, each time with the levels increasing in difficulty. There are also two types of levels: scroll screen levels, in which Mario will have to reach a certain point to advance, and timer screen levels, in which Mario must get through the world in a given amount of time. Additionally, another difference between the original and this remake is that Mario will find Princess Toadstool at the end of every level, without having to fight a boss.
All Night Nippon: Super Mario Bros.
Template:Release Disk System	All Night Nippon: Super Mario Bros. is an officially licensed hack of Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels. Gameplay is the same, but many characters such as the mushroom retainers are replaced with Japanese celebrities from the radio show All Night Nippon.

Super Mario All-Stars + Super Mario World
Template:Release SNES	Super Mario All-Stars + Super Mario World is an America/Europe-only reissue of Super Mario All-Stars that also includes Super Mario World for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System.

Template:Release Satellaview	A follow-up to Super Mario USA (Super Mario Bros. 2), BS Super Mario USA was released as four installments, and each one involved the player heading into each world to collect a gold Mario statue and defeat the bosses until finally reaching and defeating Wart. Each level could be replayed until the clock reached 50 minutes. As the player progressed, St. Giga's Satellite radio would stream an audio drama to tell the story. After the events of Super Mario Bros. 2, the King of Subcon had golden Mario statues put up all around Subcon, to thank him and his friends for their deeds. However, three Birdos, Mouser, Tryclyde, Fryguy and Clawgrip have stolen them, and now Mario must get them back and defeat Wart again.
BS Super Mario Collection
Template:Release Satellaview	A remake of Super Mario Collection (Super Mario All-Stars), BS Super Mario Collection is a game for the Super Famicom add-on Satellaview.

Besides those games, it also featured many other collectibles, including images that could be printed with the Game Boy Printer, Cable Link interface multi-player, records sharing by infrared connection, a calendar, a fortune teller, etc. Unlike other remakes, it was not developed by Nintendo EAD, but rather by Nintendo R&D2.
Super Mario Advance
Template:Release Game Boy Advance	Super Mario Advance is a remake of Super Mario Bros. 2 made for the handheld game system, the Game Boy Advance, and released in 2001. Like the Super Mario All-Stars remake, Super Mario Advance had updated graphics, alongside various gameplay additions and improvements such as a points scoring system and collectable Ace Coins. Additionally, Mario Bros. is included with the game. It spawned a series of similar remakes, all featuring Mario Bros. as well.
Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2
Template:Release Game Boy Advance	Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2 is a remake of Super Mario World made for the Game Boy Advance. It is the second title in the Super Mario Advance series and was released in 2002. There are various differences between the original Super Mario World and Super Mario Advance 2 such as Luigi's sprite being changed and made taller than Mario to match his normal appearance. The game was a gigantic hit for Nintendo and the Game Boy Advance, selling 3,290,000 copies in North America and 5,460,000 copies worldwide.
Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3
Template:Release Game Boy Advance	Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3 is a remake of Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island for the Game Boy Advance. The game features similar visuals to the original game, though due to the lack of the Super FX chip, the game tracks behind some graphical aspects. Super Mario Advance 3 has six new levels and Yoshi's Story voice acting and sound effects.
Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3
Template:Release Game Boy Advance	In 2003, the fourth (and final) Super Mario Advance installment, Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3, was released for the Game Boy Advance. It boasted similar graphics and sound to the Super Mario All-Stars version of Super Mario Bros. 3, and made use of the e-Reader. A few e-Reader cards came included with new copies of the game, while two sets (referred to as "series") of cards, were released and sold alongside the game. By scanning special cards into the e-Reader, players were able to upload items, videos, and most importantly, new levels into the game. One notable item was the Cape Feather from Super Mario World, which allowed Mario to transform into Caped Mario. There were also two Switch cards that the player could activate (and deactivate) the effects of by scanning them; the Orange Switch and the Blue Green Switch. Scanning these switches triggered small functions in the game. The e-Reader feature is still coded in the European version, but is disabled by default. The Virtual Console and Game Boy Advance - Nintendo Switch Online versions would feature all e-Reader levels and features unlocked by default for all regions.
Classic NES Series: Super Mario Bros.
Template:Release Game Boy Advance	The original NES version of Super Mario Bros. was released for the Game Boy Advance as part of the Classic NES series of games in commemoration for the 20th anniversary of the release of the original Famicom and NES. It is a direct port, and as a result features no new additions or bugfixes. Consequently, the only significant difference is that the graphics were downscaled to fit the GBA screen resolution.
Famicom Mini: Super Mario Bros. 2
Template:Release Game Boy Advance	In Japan, the Classic NES Series were known as Famicom Mini. The original Super Mario Bros. 2 (or Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels) was released only in Japan. Much like Super Mario Bros., it didn't feature any new additions, the bugs were left untouched, and the graphics were down-scaled.
Super Mario 64 DS
Template:Release Nintendo DS	Super Mario 64 DS is a remake of Super Mario 64. It was released in 2004 for the Nintendo DS. It is also the first Mario game released for the Nintendo DS. Though it is a remake, there are many differences between it and the original (four playable characters and 30 new Power Stars are two examples of this). The game begins the same as the old one; Peach invites Mario to the castle for cake. However, instead of just Mario, Wario and Luigi come for cake, while Yoshi sleeps on the roof of the castle. Bowser then takes over the castle, captures Peach, and locks Mario, Luigi, and Wario inside three rooms. Lakitu then wakes Yoshi up, and now he has to save Mario and the others in order to save the princess once again, this time through teamwork.

Title
Screenshot and system	Synopsis
Super Mario's Wacky Worlds
Philips CD-i	Super Mario's Wacky Worlds is a canceled Philips CD-i game developed by NovaLogic. It is thought to follow-up on Super Mario World after a Nintendo sales executive suggested that the CD-i could play simple Nintendo games,^[9] which is a result of Philips acquiring the rights to several Nintendo characters for use on their platform. The game was to feature a game world mostly based on real-life Earth locations, with themed old and new enemies in the Super Mario World sprite style. However, despite NovaLogic impressing Nintendo with their work-in-progress, it was canceled due to the commercial failure of the CD-i.^[9]
VB Mario Land
Virtual Boy	VB Mario Land, also known as Mario Adventure,^[10] was a canceled Virtual Boy game which was revealed at the Winter Consumer Electronics Show in early 1995.^[11] A Wario-like object can be seen in one of the released screenshots, so it is thought to be an unproduced follow-up to Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins. The game was to use two-dimensional side-scrolling elements, as well as the use of three-dimensional movement between the background and foreground of the stage. Its three-dimensional Mario Bros.-style mini-game was repurposed as Mario Clash.^[12]

Major characters

It has been requested that this section be rewritten. Reason: Some flowery writing; supporting characters should be more descriptive

Main protagonists

Character
Image	Brief biography	First appearance	First playable appearance in the Super Mario series
Mario
	Mario is the main protagonist in his titular series of games. Mario is the star of the largest game franchise Nintendo has published. Many characters have fought alongside Mario in his adventures in platformers and RPGs, but many have also fought against him during those times. Mario has gone through many physical changes, from his original 8-bit appearance, to his current 128-bit appearance. Mario commonly rescues Princess Peach, as well as several others, such as Toads, as his adventures continue. Mario has even been accepting enough to team up at times with his greatest foe, Bowser.	Donkey Kong	Super Mario Bros.
Luigi
	Luigi is Mario's taller, younger, twin brother. Luigi first debuted in Mario Bros. for the Game & Watch in 1983, packaging off bottles alongside Mario as a factory worker, before reappearing in the arcade game Mario Bros. and later in Super Mario Bros. for the NES, playable only in the two-player mode of the game. He later appeared in Super Mario Bros. 2, being playable in one-player mode for the first time along with Toad and Peach. Luigi has appeared in many of Mario's games, but there were some from which he was excluded — among which are Super Mario Land and Super Mario 64.	Mario Bros.	Super Mario Bros.
Princess Peach
	Princess Peach — originally "Princess Toadstool" in localization — is the damsel-in-distress of the series. Princess Peach is the ruler of the Mushroom Kingdom, and is protected by many Toads. However, her protection commonly fails and eventually results in her being kidnapped, be it by Bowser, or by another villain. In Super Mario Bros. 2, Super Mario 3D World, Super Mario Run, and Super Mario Bros. Wonder, Peach is one of the playable characters and one of the main protagonists.	Super Mario Bros.	Super Mario Bros. 2
Princess Daisy
	Princess Daisy initially served as the damsel-in-distress in her debut game, Super Mario Land. She is the ruler of the country Sarasaland which is inhabited by many various species not found in the Mushroom Kingdom. Although she is the only known ruler, her father was mentioned by her in Mario Party 3. She was kidnapped by the evil alien Tatanga who took her and hypnotized the inhabitants of Sarasaland. After Tatanga's defeat by Mario, Daisy was rescued and the Sarasaland kingdom was restored. Since Daisy's return to the Mario series overall (starting with the Nintendo 64 version of Mario Tennis), she has been a frequent participant in a majority of spin-off installments. 28 years after Super Mario Land, Daisy officially made her reintroduction in the Super Mario series by appearing in Super Mario Run as a playable protagonist.	Super Mario Land	Super Mario Run
Toad
	Toad originally played the role of Princess Peach's assistant; however, he has been reduced to lesser roles since his debut appearance, with his role in main games having sometimes been replaced by Toadsworth. His first playable appearance was in Super Mario Bros. 2. Though he appears identical to many others in his species, Toad is actually an entirely different character; this causes much confusion as to whether or not certain Toads are the Toad discussed. Similar confusion occurs regarding whether he's the same as the character resembling Blue Toad in Super Mario 3D World.	Super Mario Bros. 2
Yoshi
	Yoshi is Mario's dinosaur-like companion and one of his most trusty allies during his adventures. In many games Yoshi is present, he is always disposed to give Mario a ride on his back; while riding him and under Mario's command, Yoshi can use his long chameleon-like tongue to swallow a diverse variety of objects, including enemies. Yoshi also supports additional abilities Mario is unable to do on his own like Yoshi's signature Flutter Kick. Super Mario 64 DS features Yoshi as a standalone playable character. In fact, the game opens with Yoshi as the sole playable character that needs to rescue Mario and co. Though he lacks power, he compensates this with his ability to swallow enemies and turn them into an egg, which in turn serves as a homing projectile to take out several enemies at once. In Super Mario Run and Super Mario Bros. Wonder, Yoshi is a standalone playable character, along with his colored species.	Super Mario World	Super Mario World (as a supporter) Super Mario 64 DS (as a fully playable character)
Wario
	Wario is Mario's yellow-clad, greedy childhood friend and rival. Though he has antagonized Mario since his debut in Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins, Wario proved to be a valuable ally during the events of Super Mario 64 DS, where he, alongside Luigi, originally came to "crash the party" of Mario and Peach. Wario is the strongest character in the game, being able to destroy some obstacles the other character would have no choice but avoid them.	Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins	Super Mario 64 DS
Rosalina
	Rosalina makes her first overall Super Mario franchise appearance by playing a supporting role in Super Mario Galaxy. In that game (and its sequel), she is the adoptive mother of the Lumas. Her main duty is to watch the Lumas and help keep the galaxies safe. Throughout the Super Mario Galaxy installment, Rosalina gives helpful and important advice/tips to Mario on his journey to save the galaxies in crisis and rescue Peach from Bowser's capture. Rosalina makes her first playable appearance for the Super Mario series overall in Super Mario 3D World, making her the second female protagonist, following Princess Peach.	Super Mario Galaxy	Super Mario 3D World
Captain Toad
	Captain Toad is a red Toad dressed with an oversized backpack and a headlamp, he is the leader of the Toad Brigade, a group of Toads that provides help to Mario in Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2. He subsequently appears in Super Mario 3D World as a playable character in special levels called Captain Toad's Adventures; additionally, this resulted in him getting the starring role in the game's prequel (Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker), along with Toadette.	Super Mario Galaxy	Super Mario 3D World
Toadette
	Toadette was originally introduced as a playable racing partner for Toad in Mario Kart: Double Dash!! She has since appeared in other games as a playable character and has played supporting roles in several titles. Her first prominent role in the series was in the Super Mario 3D World prequel Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker, where she played a main character the game's storyline. Toadette officially debuted in the Super Mario mainstream series by appearing in Super Mario Run as a referee and later becoming playable in the game. Toadette makes a return to the Super Mario series by playing a role in Super Mario Odyssey as an archivist for the Toad Brigade. Her most recent appearance for the mainstream Super Mario series is New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe; during gameplay, she gains a unique Princess Peach-like form known as Peachette (after obtaining a Super Crown power up). She also makes an appearance in Super Mario Maker 2, where she is featured as one of the four playable characters alongside Mario, Luigi, and Toad. She is featured as a supporting character in the game's Story Mode, where she is called "Chief" and is in charge of rebuilding Princess Peach's castle after it is erased by Undodog.	Mario Kart: Double Dash!!	Super Mario Run
Yellow Toad and Blue Toad
	Yellow Toad and Blue Toad appear in New Super Mario Bros. Wii as main protagonists along with Mario and Luigi. They reprise the same role in New Super Mario Bros. U and Super Mario Bros. Wonder. In New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe, they share a character slot under the name "Toad".	New Super Mario Bros. Wii
Nabbit
	Nabbit debuted in New Super Mario Bros. U, where he steals items from Toad Houses. He appears as one of the four main playable characters in New Super Luigi U replacing Mario from the original game; unlike the other characters, he is invincible to enemies and cannot use power-ups (except for Super Stars), which instead become 1-Up Mushrooms at the end of the level. In New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe, he can be played in the New Super Mario Bros. U levels for the first time (though he is not playable in Challenge Mode).	New Super Mario Bros. U	New Super Luigi U

If the player is using Luigi, Cosmic Luigi will appear instead, and use more shortcuts. In Super Mario Galaxy 2 and Super Mario 3D Land, similar creatures called Cosmic Clones appear.

Their boss is Madame Broode, an obese red-clad rabbit with a pet Chain Chomp, while their leader is Topper, the squat Broodal in green attire. The other Broodals are Spewart (in blue), Rango (in yellow), and Hariet (in purple).	Super Mario Odyssey

Friendly species

Species
Image	Brief biography	First appearance
Toads
	Toads are the major residents of the Mushroom Kingdom and many other parts of the Mushroom World; most are loyal subjects of Princess Peach. Unlike the Toads that serve as playable characters, these non-playable Toads usually bring assistance to Mario and co. in their adventures like hosting the Toad Houses mini-games to earn power-ups or extra lives. In their original appearance in Super Mario Bros., many Toads were transformed into inanimate objects like bricks by Bowser's black magic, while seven important Toads were held kept captive at the end of castle levels. Some Toads seen in Super Mario Bros. 3 seem to serve the kings of each world. In Super Mario 64, Toads were imprisoned within Peach's Castle's walls and paintings, providing some hints to Mario when finally found. A group of six Toads accompanied Mario and Princess Peach on their vacation on Isle Delfino in Super Mario Sunshine. The Toad Brigade was introduced in Super Mario Galaxy, where each member was given a distinctive personality. In Super Mario Run, winning rallies awards the player with numerous Toads to habitate the player's kingdom.	Super Mario Bros.

Except for the green one, each colored Yoshi has an unique ability when they swallow a Koopa shell. While it seems Yoshis may be invaluable on their own unless commanded by Mario, they have proved otherwise in many games of the series like in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, where a group of them agreed on taking Baby Mario on a journey to rescue his captured brother. Regular Yoshis reprise their ridable role in games like New Super Mario Bros. Wii and its sequel, New Super Mario Bros. U.	Super Mario World
Piantas
	Piantas are a species of palm-like humanoids originally residents of Isle Delfino.	Super Mario Sunshine
Nokis
	Nokis are a race of mollusk-like beings who originate from Isle Delfino as well.	Super Mario Sunshine

Talking Flowers
	Talking Flowers are inhabitants of the Flower Kingdom in Super Mario Bros. Wonder. They are small flowers that talk to the player when approached. The messages they say are small reactions to what is currently ongoing in the level, which may serve as hints.	Super Mario Bros. Wonder

Goomba
	Goombas are shiitake-like creatures that were once members of the Mushroom Kingdom, but turned traitor and defected to Bowser's legions when he attacked. They are the most basic and common enemies in the Super Mario games, serving as very easily defeated standard enemies (they can be defeated with a single jump). They appear in the vast majority of games; however, Super Mario Bros. 2, Super Mario Land, Super Mario World, and Super Mario Sunshine do not feature Goombas, with their role being given to the Goombo in Super Mario Land and the Strollin' Stu in Super Mario Sunshine. Super Mario World features the related Galoomba, but they are tougher.	Super Mario Bros.

Koopa Troopa
	Koopa Troopas belong to the turtle-like Koopa race that Bowser himself leads. Their key gameplay characteristic is that they retreat into their shells when jumped upon, or in some cases, get knocked out of them. They are the among the most basic and common enemies (only Goombas are more ubiquitous) in the franchise, being particularly numerous in the 2D sidescroller games. They were originally depicted as quadrupedal, but starting with Super Mario World, they begin to walk on two legs, with some exceptions, like in Super Mario Galaxy. Typically, green ones will walk off ledges they come to, while red ones turn away from them. While sometimes simply known as "Koopas," not all Koopas are Koopa Troopas.	Super Mario Bros.

Koopa Paratroopa
	Koopa Paratroopas are Koopa Troopas with wings. With some exceptions, the green ones either hop along or move left and right, while the red ones fly up and down.

Big Koopa Paratroopa Gold Koopa Paratroopa Parabones
Piranha Plant
	Piranha Plants are carnivorous plants that often live in pipes, although they are also found planted in the ground, especially in the 3D games.
