Mario’s name is synonymous with games and he is perhaps the most successful franchise in history.
The Super Mario franchise is so popular in fact, Mario is more readily recognized than Mickey Mouse by children.
This popularity has led to dozens of Mario spin offs, including but not limited to ‘Super Mario Paint’, ‘Super Mario Tennis’, ‘Super Mario Kart’, ‘Mario Kart DS’ among more.
With every new console however, Nintendo delivers at least one game that is the core of Mario, one in which he’s (and as such the player) is given a world to explore and play in the usual Mario way, jumping on bad guys, finding coins etc...
With the up and coming ‘Super Mario Galaxy’, there will be no world to explore, it has, as the name would suggest, been replaced by a galaxy.
His latest adventure is shaping up to be his biggest ever, from both a critical standpoint and game play standpoint. Fans of the series are expecting the same jump in fun from Mario as when Mario moved from 2D to 3D with the Nintendo 64.
Will it deliver on that promise with the free hand controller (dubbed Wii-mote)? Well if it doesn’t, it sure is going to come darn close.
