Mario Bros began as Nintendo's long-running platform series starring the moustachioed plumber Mario, with the original Super Mario Bros. game released in 1985 helping to define home console gaming. Its theme music became one of the most recognised melodies in video games and spread through gameplay videos, remixes and short edits long after the original release. It remains popular because it instantly signals playfulness, nostalgia and a classic gaming win, much like other classic Nintendo sounds such as the Zelda item get.
