Mario is a video game franchise created by Nintendo and Shigeru Miyamoto. The titular protagonist, Mario, is considered the most recognizable video game character of all time, rivalled only by Pac-Man, Sonic and Pikachu. The franchise originates from the arcade platform game Donkey Kong (1981), which stars Mario as the player character trying to rescue Pauline from the villain Donkey Kong, before Mario appeared again as a player character in the arcade game Mario Bros. (1983).
The franchise consists of several sub-series in different genres, including racing, sports, role playing, puzzle, party, and even has games starring Mario side characters like Luigi and Captain Toad. The main core series, Super Mario, began with the platformer game Super Mario Bros. (1985) on the Nintendo Entertainment System. The main games consist of Mario trying to rescue Princess Peach from the villain Bowser and saving the Mushroom Kingdom.
As of June 2024, the Mario video game franchise has sold more than 900 million units worldwide, making it the best-selling video game franchise of all time. The main Super Mario series alone has sold more than 495 million copies worldwide.
The Mario franchise is estimated to have grossed more than $55 billion worldwide, making it one of the highest‑grossing media franchises of all time and the second highest-grossing video game franchise (after Pokémon). The Mario video games grossed more than $45 billion (including over $25 billion from the main Super Mario series alone), in addition to nearly $10 billion grossed from licensed merchandise, films, books and manga comics. Mario videos on YouTube have also received more than 100 billion views worldwide, as of April 2023.

Melee, which managed to sell a whopping 7.41 million copies, and Mario Kart: Double Dash, which sold 6.88 million.
According to the NPD, Super Mario Sunshine was the tenth best selling game of 2002 in North America.
New Super Mario Bros.[]
New Super Mario Bros. is one of the most successful video games of all time. It has sold a whopping 30.72 million copies worldwide. While considered the third best selling title for the Nintendo DS, the other two have multiple versions (Pokémon having 3 and Nintendogs having 5), so it can actually be said that New Super Mario Bros. is the best selling video game for the system.
So far the game has sold 5.2 million copies in Japan. In its first 12 weeks of sell in America, it sold an estimated 20 copies every single minute.
Super Mario Galaxy[]
Super Mario Galaxy has gained a wide commercial and critical success. As of March 31, 2008, Galaxy had sold 6.1 million copies worldwide (0.93 million in Japan, and 5.17 in other regions), making it the best-selling unbundled Wii game and the third best-selling Nintendo-published game for the Wii. The two games that outsold it, Wii Sports and Wii Play, were bundled with the console or a Wii Remote. According to the NPD Group, since the launch of the Wii, Super Mario Galaxy has become the third best-selling video game in Canada as of April 1, 2008.
Super Mario Run[]
Super Mario Run had 200 million downloads on mobile devices by October 2017.[162] As of September 2017, it has 300 million downloads.[163]
Other media and merchandise[]
