Nintendo needed a boost, so they turned to their old reliable mascot. It was around that time that Nintendo had really fallen back in terms of market share, losing considerable ground to Sony in its native Japan and lagging behind both Sony and Microsoft in other parts of the world. The Nintendo DS looked to be heading in the same direction when it launched alongside a port of Super Mario 64. game of their own, just ports of the old ones. The Gameboy Color and the Gameboy Advance didn’t even have a Super Mario Bros. And it wasn’t like he was taking his talents to the handhelds, after Super Mario Land 2 he pretty much stopped showing up there as well. Sure he’d pop up here and there to play some sports and race some go-karts, but he was held to one lone outing on the Super Nintendo, Nintendo 64, and the Gamecube. After that though, Mario stopped showing up as frequently in his own adventures.
Back on the original Nintendo when Mario was first making a name for himself we were treated to several wonderful titles that lead into the launch of the Super Nintendo which gave us Super Mario World.
For awhile it seemed like Nintendo had adopted a one Mario title per console policy.
