Ah yes the first time I played a Mario game, how I rember it so well despite it being so many years ago. I was at a friends house with him and several other friends of ours. After we had come in from a game of soccer my friend showed us his SNES and two of his games, Donkey Kong Country and Super Mario World. We played them both to death, and the main reasons I lvoed them were that one, they were packed to the brim with action and explortion (something I know many young kids, teens and even adults crave) and two the chraming cast of colorful and crazy characters. After that I begain to play all sorts of video games (including those featuring everyone's favorite black moustached plumber).

This are all very similar to how I got started too, I think my babysitter when I was like 3 or 4 brought her SNES over I distinctly remember Tetris and I think one of the Mario games. I have been hooked ever since.

I was a mario fan when I got my Nintendo DS and Super Mario 64 DS. Over the next 2 years, I became a Mario fan and now know pretty much everything about him.

This is not a contest Sushieboy we respect all those who are Mario fans no matter how long they have known Mario for.

Two words.

Mario Kart.

One of my favourite all-time games, and also one of my first. I never really got into video games at a younger age, and Mario Kart really stood out. :)

Yes I also remember Mario Kart. It rocked then, It rocks now and it will always rock as long as they keep putting out good Mario Kart games

My uncle had a snes and Super Mario RPG, and I think that was the first game I ever played. I never was very good and didn't get even close to beating it. Then for my 6th or 7th birthday my parents rented a N64 and Super Smash Bros. I beat that in like 2 hours. That's when I became a fan.

When I was a wee lad I would watch my oldest sister, my parents and my relatives play Dr. Mario on the NES. They would also occasionally play Super Mario Bros. Then my sister convinced my parents to buy her an SNES and both Super Mario World and Super Mario All Stars. It wasn't that combo pack with both in one cartridge though but that's beyond the point. So basically I just watched them play as a tyke then gave it a try when I was like 4 or so. I seriously sucked in SMAS but I absolutely ruled in SMW. So it was at that moment that I became a life long Nintendo fan, though I wouldn't really realize this until sometime in 2001.

The world of video games was never opened to me until I went over to my neighbor's house. At the time I was around five or six. My neighbor was a couple of years older than I (though it seemed like a lot older at the time) and I always loved to watch him play Super Mario 64. I would just stare into the screen in amazement, and was greatly entertained. I think my favorite part was when you'd jump into a painting and hear that catchy little melody, and then click which star you'd look for in that level only to hear Mario say "Lets-a go!" But it wasn't only that, but most of all the characters! They were all so creative, and extremely different. At the time, my favorite characters were Bowser (being so huge and awesome) and Toad (being so small and friendly).
And then my cousin got that Mario Paint game, and I became helplessly in love with the theme song. :-)
So, overall, I like the Mario games for the characters, the music, and the overall innocence.

My first exposure to Mario: SMW as mentioned on one of my preveous posts. I was still very little, and it was just a casual experience (although when I was brainstorming a cartoon about a family of foxes living on an abandoned farm, I had the Forest of Illusion theme in my head). The exposure that led me to become a diehard Nintendo fan was Mario Kart 64. The young man who would later on become my brother-in-law had an N64, and he'd let me play Mario Kart. Due to my past Mario experience with SMW, I'd always play as Yoshi. In fact, MK64 was one of the first games I bought when I finally got an N64.

It all started waaay back when I was only two(I am NOT kidding) years old. My family had an NES with quite a few games on it. Each of my family members had a liking for one game in particular. For my mother, it was Tetris and Dr.Mario. For my grandfather, it was Donkey Kong Classics and Wrecking Crew. For my aunt, it was Super Mario Bros. 3. Whenever some one played, I sat next to them and watched. No matter who was playing, or what game thay were playing, I was mesmerized. I fell in love with it, yet somehow, I felt as though I was not ready to take the controller in my own hands......

...Then we got a Super NES.By then, I was 3.6 and I could no longer stand it. I grabbed that controller and preceeded to own all at Super Mario World. Ever since then, I became immersed in a world of wonderous gaming pleasure. From SM64 to SMS, and everthing in between, I was a true blue fan of The Super Plumber. Oh, and let's not forget about all those other franchise I was led into, shall we?

*rambles on about how he became a fan of all those other franchises that he's currently a fan of*
