My first introduction to Mario was in an arcade game called Donkey Kong. Then I met his brother Luigi in the Mario Bros. arcade game. I did not own a Nintendo or Super Nintendo game system, so I missed out on some of Mario's early entries into the home market. Perhaps if I did, I'd be better at the game than I am now. Even more interesting than what has changed over the years is what has stayed the same.
