Mario

Mario (Japanese: マリオ Hepburn: Mario, [ma.ɽi.o]) (English /ˈmɑːri/; Italian: [ˈmaːrjo]) is a fictional character in the Mario video game franchise, created by Nintendo's Japanese video game designer, Shigeru Miyamoto. Serving as the company's mascot and the eponymous protagonist of the series, Mario has appeared in over 200 video games since his creation. Depicted as a short, pudgy, Italian plumber who resides in the Mushroom Kingdom, his adventures generally center upon rescuing Princess Peach from the Koopa villain Bowser. His younger brother is Luigi.

The Mario franchise is the best-selling video game franchise of all time. Over 210 million units of the overall Mario series of games have been sold. Outside of the Super Mario platform series, other Mario genres include the Mario Kart racing series, sports games such as the Mario Tennis and Mario Golf series, role-playing games such as Super Mario RPG and Paper Mario, and educational games such as Mario Is Missing! and Mario's Time Machine. The franchise has branched into several mediums, including television shows, film, comics and licensed merchandise. Since 1995, Mario has been voiced by Charles Martinet.

Mario is a 1984 Quebec drama film, set in the Magdalen Islands, directed by Jean Beaudin and produced by the National Film Board of Canada.

One day, Simon (Reddy) becomes involved with a woman and, as a result, their relationship becomes strained.

    PLAYLIST TIME:

    Mademoiselle

    by: Murray Head

    Mademoiselle remembers too well
    How once she was belle of the ball
    Now the past she sadly recalls.
    Mademoiselle lived in grand hotels
    Ordered clothes by Chanel and Dior
    Millionaires queued at her door.
    Oh, she pleased them and teased them
    She hooked them and squeezed them
    Until like their empires they'd fall
    She very soon learned
    That the more love she spurned
    The more power she yearned
    Until she was belle of the ball.
    Oh, Mademoiselle, such a soft machiavel
    Would play bagatelle with the hearts of young men as
    they fell
    Mademoiselle would hide in her shell
    Could then turn cast a spell on any girl
    That got in her way.
    She would crave all attention
    Men would flock to her side
    Woe betide any man who ignored
    For she'd feign such affection
    Then break down their pretension
    When she'd won she would turn away.
    Turn away, thoroughly bored.
    Mademoiselle, long ago said farewell
    To any love left to sell, for the sake of being belle
    of the ball
    Mademoiselle knows there's no way to quell
    Her own private hell, just a shell,
    With no heart left at all.
    Poor old Mademoiselle.
