From The DS Ultimate Wiki
Mario is a fictional plumber who is the main character of the Mario series, and Nintendo's mascot. Being in games since around 20 years ago, he is one of the most recognisable characters in gaming, known by near enough everyone even with a passing interest, and at one time more recognisable than Mickey Mouse.

[edit] Mario's Appearance
Mario first appeard in Donkey Kong in 1981, but was originally named "jumpman". He then starred in Mario Bros (not to be confused with Super Mario Bros), in 1983 which was not only his first game as "Mario" but it was a first for Luigi as well. From there they ended up having a full series on the NES and several major spinoffs. Since, Mario has become known as the icon of gaming everywhere. He has since had many appearances on every Nintendo console yet. A full list of every game that Mario has appeared in, from the 1981 Arcade game "Donkey Kong", to the very latest Wii game, "Super Mario Sluggers" (not counting the Virtual Console release of Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars, originally released in 1996) can be found here.
