Mario Bros
The Game: This is the game that named him our portly plumber! Most Mario fans who owned a Game Boy Advance will have spent at least a few minutes playing the single player mode of this game, and probably a few more playing its multiplayer mode. Realistically though no one these days is going to have spent too much time with this repetitive single screen Mario platformer where there is one simple objective. Stomp, upturn and blast every baddie that comes your way! These days this game wouldnt really be seen as strong enough for a standalone release on a console, but if Nintendo ever did decide to get in on the smart phone business or do what so many doom mongers have been saying for years and do a Sega you could expect that the original Mario Bros game could see a new life as a top rated app. It would certainly be a good alternative to the likes of Ms Pac Man and Tetris for those tube journeys.
What It Says About You: Youre probably a retro nut and everyone else things you should get with the times. Youre probably the kind of person who has reached more than one kill screen in a game and have downloaded every rom, hack, and remake available to test and show off your impressive ability to get the perfect timing to kill as many goombas at once as possible.
Soundbite: Mario belongs in the sewers where his job description suggests he should be!
