Yup, Mario was my first. Dirty plumber..I was only 5..or maybe 6. I played 1,2 and 3 for NES and Super Mario World SNES, Mario RPG and Mario Kart SNES and later Mario Kart on the Wii. I think that's the extent of my Mario gaming, so I suppose I grew out of those games during the SNES era, but I've always liked Mario Kart.
