'''Mario''' is the main protagonist of the ''[[Mario (series)|Mario]]'' series and the legendary mascot of [[Nintendo|Nintendo]]. Mario is normally a plumber, but in games, he uses his legendary [[jump]] and combat abilities to defend the inhabitants of the usually peaceful [[Mushroom World]] from power-hungry villains such as [[Bowser]]. When not adventuring, Mario participates in a variety of sporting events and even works as one of his alter-egos, [[Dr. Mario (character)|Dr. Mario]].

Mario was created out of necessity by [[Shigeru Miyamoto]] after Nintendo lost the license to create a video game based on the [[wikipedia:Popeye|Popeye]] universe. The designers kept the gameplay, but created a new cast of characters. Mario assumed Popeye's role, and the game was released as the arcade version of ''[[Donkey Kong (arcade)|Donkey Kong]]''. In this game, he was originally referred to as "Jumpman." Jumpman was renamed "Mario" when an employee at Nintendo of America's office in [[New York City]] pointed out the similar physical appearances of Jumpman and Nintendo's Italian landlord, Mario Segale.<ref>Thiel, Art (2003). ''Out of Left Field: How the Mariners Made Baseball Fly in Seattle''. Sasquatch Books. pp. 44–45. [[wikipedia:Special:BookSources/1570613907|ISBN 1570613907]]. </ref>

''[[Donkey Kong Jr.]]'' served as a sequel to ''Donkey Kong'', and was also released on arcade the same year, 1983. In this game, Mario is the antagonist, and captures Donkey Kong and encloses him inside a cage. Donkey's son, Donkey Kong Jr., is then given the task to save his father from Mario. The game was similar in essense to ''Donkey Kong'', as Jr. has to also reach the top of the stage in each level. Each time he does, however, Mario then flees to a different level and locks up the ape once more. To date, ''Donkey Kong Jr.'' is the only game in which Mario takes on the role of antagonist, and the objective of the game is to defeat him.
