Ever since Mario stole the spotlight from a certain princess kidnapping ape, people have fallen in love with the overalls wearing plumber. Super Mario has spawned countless games. From the original Super Mario and it’s sequels, even today it has a wide variety of spin offs including Mario Soccer, Mario Party, and Mario Kart. Mario is the mascot for Nintendo and that has to tell you something. With such a huge fan base paired with the creative minds of many flash programmers, there have been a huge number of equally addicting and unique Mario Games made by the fans of the Super Mario craze.

There are even websites dedicated to Super Mario Games with nothing but loads of free Mario games. These Mario Game sites have all of the best flash Mario Games that are on the Internet; anything from comedic remakes with names like Super Mafia Land to more abstract games like Koopa’s Revenge. Another fun Mario game with a twist is Mario Racing Tournament which is a Mario racing game in which you have to complete each level in your race car by racing against other characters from the Mario games series. All of these games try to embody that same addicting nature that supports Mario Games so well, and from the hours I’ve spent “testing” them, I’ll say many have succeeded. And even though they do embody that addicting nature, it doesn’t stop them from being creative with the actual game itself. Sure there are plenty of remakes with a twist; some where you play as the bad guys or even characters from other games, and some completely made up; there are even Mario Games in which you memorize Mario faces and attempt to recreate them, others where you get to edit the different levels in the game, and some even blend Mario hits like Mario Kart and Super Mario World into one fun Mario game.

Many of these Mario Games will have you coming back for more and more. Some are so addicting you won’t even think about leaving (though you really should go eat, or something.) But all of them have something in common, Plumber Fever. You won’t be able to get enough of the little red guy and his taller green brother Luigi.

Have you ever wanted to bring your Mario game to the max? Like that guy who beat Super Mario 3 in 11 minutes? Well there are even games that work on that as well. Work on your Mario gaming skills and next time your father pulls out the old Nintendo to show you some of the games he grew up with, surprise him with your well nurtured skills. Of course that situation is likely reversed, as kids seem to be born with the skills it took us old timers work to acquire.

But enough joking around, some of these games really are designed with improving your Super Mario gaming skills in mind, but most of these Super Mario Games are designed for pure fun. So come with me to a world where the only option is to attack from above, where jumping has never been more vital to survival, where pipes are the ONLY way to travel, and lets show those Koopas who’s boss. Or in some cases, let’s show everyone that the Koopas are the boss.
