There have been numerous sports games in the Mario franchise.
While Mario appeared in several tennis games preceding it, the Mario Tennis branding was first used with the Nintendo 64 game Mario Tennis. Each successive generation features a console and a handheld version. Like the Mario Golf series, all of these games are developed by Camelot Software Planning.
As with tennis, Mario appeared in multiple golf games before appearing in a Mario branded entry on the Nintendo 64. Mario Golf is a sports video game series that is developed by Camelot Software Planning and published by Nintendo. This series introduced golf to the Mushroom Kingdom. A second version was released for the Game Boy Color. Since then, there have also been releases of one game on both the GameCube and the Game Boy Advance. The fifth installment was released on the Nintendo 3DS in 2014.
The N64 and Game Boy Color versions can communicate each other via Transfer Pak connectivity, and the GameCube and GBA versions can do the same via the Nintendo GameCube – Game Boy Advance link cable. Players can upload characters and data into the other game.
Mario (Japanese: マリオ, Hepburn: Mario, [ma.ɽi.o]) (English /ˈmɑːrioʊ/; 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.
Mario (Petermann) is a 10-year-old autistic boy who is mute and hard of hearing. He has an 18-year-old brother whom he admires greatly. One day, Simon (Reddy) becomes involved with a woman and, as a result, their relationship becomes strained. Mario finds himself without his brother and his parents who are always watching over their island during the tourist season.
Several television series were produced that were based on the Mario series of video games, developed by Nintendo.
The wind blows
The child wakes
The years go
The heart breaks
The rains come, the castle falls
You lose hope
The soul cries
The fears grow
The time flies
Life goes on, but through it all
Chorus
Be strong, don't be afraid
You're not alone in this world
Be strong, take courage and fly
'Cause now's the time to stand
Walk in the promised land of life
Be strong
A road ends
A dream dies
You breathe deep
And realize
To press on, you must believe
The Lord knows
The tears dry
You find hope
You live life
You look back, and finally see peace
Chorus
Bridge
Feel the wind blow on your face
Taste the victory of grace
Touch the joy of freedom
Knowing you have overcome...
Chorus
Oh now's the time to stand
Walk in the promised land of life
