Mario at 40: The Game That Made Us Gamers

Description :

Mario isn’t just a video game character — he’s a global icon who’s been jumping, stomping, and saving the day for 40 years. In this special episode, we celebrate the legacy of Super Mario Bros. and explore how one little plumber changed gaming forever. From the simple magic of World 1-1 to the gravity-defying levels of Super Mario Galaxy and the creativity of Super Mario Maker, we look back at how Mario grew up with us — and how we grew up with him. We talk about the music that defined a generation, the moments that brought families together, and the speedrunners who still push this classic to its limits today. Join us as we honor four decades of Goombas, green pipes, and flagpoles — and share why Mario still feels just as magical now as he did in 1985.
