'''''Super Mario Bros.''''' (Often referred to as the '''''Super Mario''''' series, or more simply the '''''Mario''''' series) is a Japanese video game franchise owned by [[Nintendo]] and created by Japanese video game designer [[Shigeru Miyamoto]].   Most of the games in the series feature the adventures of Mario, an Italian plumber, on his quest to save the princess of the Mushroom Kingdom from a villain named Bowser. Acting as the company's mascot, as well as being the eponymous protagonist of the series, Mario has appeared in over 200 video games since his creation.
