MAMA MIA, let me go

Cartoon Created for a Videogame Magazine. For an article about the music on the most famous videogames of all Time.
Mario was always one of my favorite charactes, and all his games rocks! Since the classics "Donkey Kong" and "Mario Bros", the world of Shigueru Miyamoto is absolutely a great piece of the popular culture.

According to Wikipedia, Mario cartoons by DiC Entertainment and the Super Mario Bros. movie as well as the Super Mario 64 Players Guide written by Nintendo Power: Mario and Luigi are both Italian plumbers from Brooklyn, New York, and came upon the Mushroom Kingdom by way of a Warp Pipe.

Mario is depicted as a 1.55 mt. (5 ft) portly Italian plumber who lives in the Mushroom Kingdom. He is well known for constantly thwarting the plans of the evil King Bowser to kidnap Princess Peach and subjugate the Mushroom Kingdom. He has astonishing physical strength and agility for a man of his stature, and superhuman jumping ability. He has a relationship with Princess Peach whom he has saved on numerous occasions. His complete antithesis is Wario.

Because of the common reference to Mario and his brother Luigi as the "Mario Brothers," certain non-game sources, such as comic books, The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!, the Super Mario Bros. film, as well as Nintendo of Europe's Mario Megasite, have suggested that the Mario Brother's full names are "Mario Mario," and "Luigi Mario". Nintendo hasn't ever officially given Mario or Luigi a surname.

As Nintendo's mascot, Mario is considered to be the most famous character in video game history. The Mario series of video games has sold more than 193 million units, making the Mario series the best-selling video game series of all time. Outside of the platformers with which he is traditionally associated, Mario has appeared in video games in different genres, including the Mario Kart racing series, Nintendo's arcade sports games (such as the Mario Tennis, Mario Golf, Mario Baseball, and Super Mario Strikers series), and Nintendo's series of Mario role-playing games (including Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars, the Paper Mario series, and the Mario & Luigi series).

Mario was featured in a show entitled The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!, live-action movie called Super Mario Bros., the Nintendo Comics System (a series of comics featuring Nintendo characters), and the Nintendo Adventure Books. The show starred Captain Lou Albano as Mario, and the movie starred Bob Hoskins. Outside the original games, television shows, film and comics, he has spawned a line of licensed merchandise and made appearances in popular culture. Also, Mario was one of the only three video game characters to be honored with a star in Walk of Game in 2005, alongside Link and Sonic the Hedgehog.
