Happy Birthday Mario!


Mario turns 30!  A game that’s been riding the waves of popularity for decades, Super Mario has already etched its name in video gaming history.  Playing Super Mario Bros., the renowned game from Nintendo Games, has been one of our most wonderful childhood memories and some of us still cling to it. There was a time when video games were simple enough. All we had to do was to just go straight to the finish line, literally. Yet, packed with hurdles galore, they provided full-on entertainment and excitement.

It was first released on 13th September in the year 1985. Over the years, the game has also fuelled several re-enactments, parodies, songs, short films, movies, vines and even other trending games like the viral Flappy Bird. There are various editions of Super Mario itself to choose from now, like Super Mario Flash, Super Mario Galaxy, All Night Nippon Super Mario Bros., Super Mario All-Stars, and many more.

 Google is commemorating Super Mario Brothers’ 30th anniversary by gifting it a special Easter egg on its search page. So, when the keywords “Super Mario Brothers” are typed in, the search yields a brief description of the Super Mario Bros. on the right side of the page. Easter Egg is a blinking button as seen in the video game with a question mark on it. 
On clicking the question mark, Super Mario fans get to hear that special cling like the one that comes when Mario hits a coin brick during the game.  Rumour has it that if on hundred clicks, you hear a special music. Although, it didn’t seem to work for me.

Lets watch out as Mario, along with his brother Luigi, sets on yet more adventures saving Princess Peach.
