The Mario Series has established a solid brand through the years. From 1988 to date, the brand has been giving us game after game, one topping the other. Let’s face it though, some marriages do not last that long nowadays.

It is a known notion that Super Mario has dominated the gaming scene since the early 80s. We loved him then, we love him now, and dare we say we will love the Mario Franchise forever?
