📅 Timeline of Mario

  1. First Appearance:

    • Donkey Kong as Jumpman – July 9, 1981

  2. First Appearance as Mario:

    • Mario Bros. – July 14, 1983

🕹️ How Old That Makes Him

  • From 1981 to 2025 → 44 years since his first debut (Donkey Kong).

  • From 1983 to 2025 → 42 years since officially being called Mario (Mario Bros.).

📝 Fun Fact

  • Despite this, Mario remains perpetually youthful in the games—he never ages, always ready for adventures!

  • In some media (like cartoons or movies), he’s portrayed as a fit, energetic character, so age is mostly symbolic.
