Super Mario Bros first came out in 1985 for Famicom in Japan and a year later for arcade machines. At the time, it was one of the most detailed games that worked extremely well compared to everything else. Plus, it was probably the first game to feature a character like Mario, who looked iconic and had a story with a clear purpose from the start.
No one can forget the first time they capture one of Bowser’s castles and read, “Thank you Mario, but our princess is in another castle.” Only to continue the journey to find the real Peach in 8-4 and receive her greetings. It’s no mystery that Mario and Princess Peach had a sweet relationship from the start of the series. Let’s take a look at some of their beautiful ups and downs through the art of memes.
10 Bedtime stories
Super Mario Odyssey is probably one of the franchise’s most defining titles due to its unique concept. The game offers a lot of great environments and quite a few different boss battles. In addition, it offers cool gameplay concepts, such as going from 3D to 2D in certain levels, a tribute to the older platformer side-scroller games.
However, the one thing that makes Super Mario Odyssey stand out is Cappy, and let’s face it, Mario is definitely using it for more than what players have seen in the game. It means, of course, that as different characters, he can tell cute bedtime stories to Peach.
9 Complicated twist
The theory of the alternate universe is still unproven. However, it doesn’t stop people from going over the board when telling stories. Over the years, gamers have played numerous titles with time travel and multiple timelines, such as the BioShock series, Life Is Strange, etc.
However, maybe it’s time for Nintendo to step into the same realm and take a dark and twisted take on the Mario franchise. It would be super cool to play a game like Bowser, where he rescues Princess Peach from the Mushroom Kingdom’s psycho plumber.
8 Jealousy is normal
Jealousy in relationships is a common phenomenon in human society. After all, it’s hard to see someone you love start talking to strangers who are quite handsome. Plus, it’s even harder for Mario because he’s nothing but a plumber who collects coins and has to eat a mushroom to get bigger.
Plus, Donkey Kong has already stolen his ex-girlfriend Pauline, and it would hurt a lot if he lost Peach to a smartass like Link. Mario’s jealousy is nothing but love for his princess and is quite understandable.
7 Advantages of flying
A partner who understands their loved one’s needs and cares about their feelings should be the ultimate goal of a relationship. In that case, Mario has won the jackpot, because Princess Peach likes everything he does. The famous plumber goes all over the mushroom kingdom to wreak havoc and steal coins, but your majesty likes his actions.
He can manipulate Koopas, crush little Goombas and kill plants in the sewer lines to succeed without fear of arrest or punishment. Plus, watching Princess peach is an added bonus.
6 Real Mario party
Mario Party games have evolved a lot since they came out in 1998. The latest is Mario Party Superstars and features over 100 different mini-games, all packed into one title. The game also features characters such as Mario, Luigi, Peach, Yoshi, Wario, Donkey Kong, Daisy, Waluigi, Birdo, Rosalina, and more.
Speaking of in-game characters and their addiction to party games, the above meme may reflect reality. After all, Mario runs mindlessly to save the princess, but never takes the time to think about what she might do in Bowser’s castle.
5 Relationship Goals
A real relationship is when two people try their best to make it work and end up standing firm. It’s about cherishing the moments and adapting to each other’s needs. However, Mario got the worst of it because Peach’s demands are unrealistic.
After all, who asks their partner to go through 8 different kingdoms, kill multiple animals, jump over lava, defeat reptile monsters, crawl in sewer pipelines, slide on falling platforms and with a much greater difficulty level a giant flagpole climb? The answer is Princess Peach.
4 Power ups are awesome
At the beginning of Super Mario Bros. in 1985, players wondered what the main difference was between green and red Mario. Over time, however, everyone learned that the shorter red one was Mario, while the taller green one was his brother Luigi. Still, there is a dilemma as to who deserves Peach’s praise.
After all, they put in the same amount of effort to save the princess. So does the cover boy get your majesty, or can his lesser-known brother taste the cake? Who cares as long as the Mushroom Kingdom has powerups like Double Cherry?
3 She cares about Mario
If love is one thing, it’s a willingness to push your partner to achieve goals. However, Princess Peach has taken that to another level by having Bowser kidnap her repeatedly over the past 35 years. She can easily beat him, Bowser Jr, Mario, Luigi, Link, Megaman and everyone else in Super Smash Bros.
Still, she allows herself to play a damsel in distress to give her husband a motive in his life. Mario is a hopeless plumber who has nothing to do but clear the pipelines of weird spikes and flies.
2 Time is everything
The scooter was probably one of the coolest additions to Super Mario Odyssey, as it allowed players to quickly travel from one location to another. But who knew, Mario also uses the same one to travel through the Mushroom Kingdom, just swinging around freely and enjoying his time?
When Princess calls him, he obeys and runs towards her without losing a second, especially when King Toadstool is out to take care of other business. Little did the poor old man know that a passionate plumber had arrived at his castle to spend time with his daughter.
1 Real gesture
Princess Peach is a great cook and loves to bake cake for Mario. However, the plumber has traveled to different worlds, defeated scary monsters and jumped from deadly traps to save her. The least he earns is anything more than just a dessert with cream and strawberries.
Still, they say, “It’s the thought that counts,” so Mario lets it slide and gobbles up the cake with a smile. In addition, baked goods are quite rare in video games. After all, Portal is famous for his quote, “The cake is a lie.”
