failed video for two reasons:

1. SMB is not the first appearance of mario

2. SMB2 is really not SMB2 which was only originally released in Japan.

 yeah, they said they weren't putting in every game - did you read the article?

With Mario everyone forgets the original Mario game. Mario Bros. (1982) arcade.

 much like you have forgotten Donkey Kong (1981) which had the first appearance of mario, at that point he was called "jump man".. unless you were just pointing out a game they missed, rather than stating the first game he was in


He's talking about the first Mario game....Not Mario's first appearance in a game...



 

can you say that Jump man = Mario?  Deep question.  Maybe Jump man is Mario's father. =P



Nice video, but the series has gone down hill for me since Super mario world. Each 3D mario is worst then the last.



I still have a hard time deciding whether or not Super Mario 64 or Super Mario Galaxy was better...



We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson

big deal; the article said they were not putting in every game, but the least they could do was at least start at the beginning (Donkey Kong) were Mario got his start.  Pretty big graphical difference between those two marios.



This video is bring me amazing memories.



Bah, showing speed runs is a terrible way to illustrate the games :(

They should have picked spots that exceptionally outlined the games qualities.

And regardless if Mario 2 was Doki Doki Panic in Japan, it was still a mario game every where else. You could also complain that they didn't show the Japanese version of Mario 2 (lost levels,) Donkey Kong, Mario Brothers, Tenis, Dr. Mario, Smash brother, smash brothers melee, etc etc etc.

Wow, I want to buy another Mario game now. Hmm, SMW or SMB 3, which should I buy? Any ideas?

That is VGChartz LONGEST review. And it's NOT Cute Kitten DS

SMB3 is awesome. However, I suggest SMW, as it is also a classic, and has a fresher feel to someone who has not nostalga factor.

It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.

NO NO, NO NO NO.
