jan 29, 1985 - Super Mario Bros.

Description:

Super Mario Bros. was created for the NES in 1985. The main goal of Super Mario Bros. is to have a character travel through many lands with all different themes to each other and it would feature a diverse terrain, such as land, water, and sky. They also intended for the main character to be twice the size of the final one. In the beginning of developing the game, the placeholder playable character was a 16×32 pixel square. The square couldn't even jump and as a result, it was suggested making Mario the playable character instead of the square due to the popularity of Mario Bros. which was accepted.
