Mario stands as an undeniable icon in both gaming and pop culture, having graced hundreds of games across roughly a dozen platforms, along with numerous TV shows and films, including the 2023 Super Mario Bros. Movie. Despite his extensive history, our beloved Italian plumber shows no signs of slowing down, with exciting new projects in the works.
