Mushroom Kingdom Memorabilia: 'Mario Bros.' Through the Years

Mario and Luigi, you've come a long way! Since the launch of the "Mario Bros." arcade game in 1983, which was the first to feature both brothers, Nintendo has sold more than 218 million "Super Mario" video games worldwide. To celebrate the Nov. 15 launch of its "New Super Mario Bros. Wii" video game, Nintendo is creating a temporary Mario "museum" outside its New York City Nintendo store to showcase "Mario Bros." memorabilia through the years. This image shows artwork of the character Mario that was featured in the original 1985 "Super Mario Bros." video game. (Nintendo of America)
