Why Mario is The Star

[Demon_Skeith]

The creator of Mario and Donkey Kong explains why the plumber was better-suited to star in so many games than the ape. A win for the little guys out there.

Donkey Kong Jr. was created to solve this problem, Miyamoto tells Time's Techland. Smaller heroes were better-suited to the 8-bit era of the Nintendo Entertainment System. But Mario caught on, so Mario became the icon, the hero of so many great games.

that's kind of a sad reason.

There are better things than Mario. Though good, he is over rated.

Mario is more funner by a long shot than DK.

True, but some DK games are better than some Mario games.

Super Mario 64 is better than Donkey Kong 64. As for the country series... While it is better than 1 and 2, 3 is better than all of them.

I found DK 64 more addicting then SM 64.
