Google Easter Eggs - Super Mario Bros.

If you ask me, Super Mario Bros. was one of the most fun games of the last few decades, and anyone who grew up having a Nintendo Gaming System would surely know about it. According to the Wikipedia page on Mario, it has over 200 games spanning multiple genres and countries. Mario is what is known as a platformer game and has inspired many games to come and ones that have already been released.

Pardon me, but what is Mario?

[From Wikipedia]

Mario is a media franchise, published and produced by video game company Nintendo, created by Japanese game designer Shigeru Miyamoto and starring the fictional Italian plumber Mario. It is primarily a video game franchise, but has extended to other forms of media, including television series, comic books, a 1993 feature film and theme park attractions. The series' first instalment was 1983's Mario Bros., although Mario had made his first appearance in 1981's Donkey Kong, and had already been featured in several games of the Donkey Kong and Game & Watch series. The Mario games have been developed by a variety of developers including Nintendo, Hudson Soft, and AlphaDream. Most Mario games have been released exclusively for Nintendo's various video game consoles and handhelds, from the third generation onward.
