If we talk about Mario, whether you are 40 or 5 years old, surely you know who we are talking about. Mario has been with us for 30 years and has become a classic for many millions of users as well as for the world of video games. Despite his age, he is still an excellent claim for the Japanese company Nintendo.
To date, Mario has starred in 18 games and has appeared directly or indirectly in more than 200 titles. For all Nintendo lovers, especially Mario, the Japanese company has worked together with the publisher Dark Horse, to launch the Mario encyclopedia, a book that talks about the first 30 years of Mario's life at Nintendo, from 1985 to 2015.
The book begins talking about Super Mario Bross for the NES and ends with the game Super Mario 3D World for the ill-fated Wii U, a console in its three years of life only managed to sell 18 million units. Sadly, Mario's latest title, Super Mario Odyssey has no place in this game, which makes sense considering that It was officially presented last October, just when the new Nintendo game for the Switch was presented.
The 256-page book seems to be a kind of guide to see Mario's journey on all Nintendo platforms since its launch. In addition, the book contains an interview with producer Takashi Tezuka, tips to help you find each coin, stars, suns and mushrooms ... including explanations of some of the bugs that we can find in the game. This book is priced at 28,50 euros on Amazon, I leave you a link at the end of this article, it has been published in Spain by Planeta DeAgostini Cómics and has an average rating of 4,5 stars out of 5 possible.
