The original “Super Mario” spurred a reversal of fortunes for the entire gaming industry after a catastrophic 1983 market crash. Three titles, “Super Mario 64,” “Super Mario Sunshine” and “Super Mario Galaxy,” were announced for a limited time collection on Nintendo’s current console, the Switch, in honor of Mario’s anniversary. When a player jumps in the original Mario game, there’s a degree of control still left in your hands. “Super Mario 64” only gave punches, jumps and butt stomps in the plumber’s skill set. I feel that will continue to be true in the future as well, and not just for ‘Super Mario’ titles.
