Mario is a series of video games by Nintendo.
The character Mario first starred in the 1981 arcade game Donkey Kong, and only later starring in his own series, the first entry being Mario Bros., that hit arcades in 1983. Because he was the main character in the Donkey Kong game it is often considered the first Mario game, but technically it is not part of the Mario series.
