  Kid (Mario) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kid was one of four characters that the player could choose and 'create' however they pleased.
However, while Kid can no longer golf, his passion for the sport never died, and now he teaches the sport of golf to four promising young students (two of which, Neil and Ella, are playable and are the main characters of the story).
Since Kid has been to Mario's world (The Mushroom Kingdom), he is the only one other than the player who can see the victory trophy that the player wins if he or she defeats Mario.

Also, a strong central character serves as an almost iconic representation of the game, which is damn useful as a shorthand for facilitating word-of-mouth, and is useful for all sorts of marketing hooks; furthermore, a successful character is a good, perhaps even the best, way to build a franchise.
And, if your character isn't human, your background has to go a lot further, explaining exactly what, in your universe, it means to be a hobbit, or a Jedi knight, or an outcast half-orc half-troll, or what it means to be a robot warrior with a malfunctioning ethics chip.
Dreyfuss' character, the naturalist shark expert, and Shaw's character, the hard-bitten shark-hunter, are trying to one-up each other, with near-shark experiences, rolling up their clothes to show off one scar after another.

Featuring a lengthy quest, spot-perfect gameplay, memorable characters, and a soundtrack that is to this day instantly recognizable by even the most casual of gamers, Super Mario Bros would be the game that made Nintendo a financial juggernaut and Mario a more recognizable character than Pac Man or even Mickey Mouse.
Mario went on to appear in countless other platforming adventures, and is generally seen as the ultimate video game mascot to this day.

 Shacknews - Preview: New Super Mario Bros.
The real kicker, though, is when you grab a particularly large mushroom, causing Mario to grow to almost the full size of the screen, upon which he tramples or knocks over anything in his path: blocks, pipes, enemies.
The reality is that polygons scale better, and when you have a character that has to change seamlessly from a few pixels tall to almost the height of the screen and various sizes in between, this seems like the best solution.
There are a variety of levels from which to choose, each of which goes on infinitely (either by having the end of the level looping back to the beginning, or by having the two ends connected by pipes) with stars materializing at apparently random points.

From drug lords in the mean streets of the early '90s ('New Jack City') to his own father's struggle for success in 1970s Hollywood ('Baadasssss!'), Mario Van Peebles' career has been defined by directing and acting in films that illuminate worlds and eras rarely explored.
Mario Van Peebles:: I play this character "Early Earl" Bassey, and he's the brother that sort of teaches Carlito Gangsterism 101 and how to elevate his thug life into gangster life, and take advantage of the underworld, which was racially divided.

Mario sports titles are known for being easily accessible arcade-style events.
Your partner in doubles matches is the character you didn't pick at the start of the game, and you can dispense experience points to him or her as well.
It may have silly Mario characters and crazy power shots, but the game still follows the rules of tennis to a T. Younger players and people less familiar with the rules of tennis may be a little intimidated at all the rules and terms the game's coaches and players throw at you.

 Mario Party 5 (GameCube) Reviews. GameCube Games Reviews by CNET.
Despite the fact that the minigames are the meaty center of Mario Party 5, the game curiously goes to great pains to ensure that your luck on the board factors in almost as heavily as your skill in the minigames when determining your overall success.
For instance, the game will sometimes have all the Koopa Kids take their turns at once, and, at one point, you'll even be introduced to a vulture named Klepto, who will regularly grab a Koopa Kid and drop him on your space, thus instantly initiating a duel.
The Mario Party franchise has been going for five years straight, and though it received a bit of a face-lift last year when it shifted from the N64 to the GameCube, the presentation is still starting to seem a bit antiquated.

 The Armchair Empire - GameCube Reviews: Super Mario Sunshine
A Mario imposter has been perpetrating the acts and Mario quickly finds himself brought before the authorities that, incredibly, release him to hunt down the pretender and clean up the island.
The Mario standards are all here – 12,001 ways to jump – but with new wrinkles afforded by the addition of FLUDD, an all purpose water-sprayer, that Mario uses to clean up the place and stun enemies.
Granted, Mario games have never been known for their drama, unexpected plot twists or gripping character exchanges but I expected to hear more from Mario than “wah-HOOO” as he hits the peak of a triple-jump.

 Super Mario Sunshine - GameCritics.com
FLUDD doesnt bring anything to the table in terms of being a sidekick (why they even allowed the character to talk is beyond me) and impacts the core Mario gameplay in a largely superficial way.
The addition of the left shoulder button to center the camera behind Mario does help to alleviate this problem, but there are still those instances where the camera will have to be physically zoomed in or pulled back in order to keep it from getting hung up on the games environments.
Evolution would have had Mario and company growing a bit as characters (which theyre going to have to do in order to remain competitive in todays market) and something new added to the core gameplay.

 Review of Watership Down   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
This is a dark movie that is probably too scary for pretty much any kid under 8 or so.
Even for the older kids, this movie is still disturbingly violent, but the violence isn't mindless, as it represents the hardships of the world the rabbits have to endure.
The best character has to be Fiver, whose haunting words of prophecy will probably scare you senseless.
