Well for a start most of the 'older' gamers(like me) grew up with the very first mario games. You can't just leave it behind. It's by far a bigger legend than 'Halo', 'COD' , 'Bad Company' or even.....ugh ....ga....m...M-'Metal Gear' >.< But just because it's a great series doesn't mean you like it the best of course. Also if you think about it...it is really the only game of its kind. Some people just play Mario game to take a break from First person shooters because when you get bored of one your bored of them all.

thanks solid snake, for bringing some genuine intelligence to the thread, Mario is loved though because of when it came out, if it originally came out this year people would be calling it the dumbest thing on earth

I think we've covered basically every reason of why a fully grown adult or teenager may like Mario, which was the original question of this thread. From the posts I've read, it sounds like the original poster fully understands the answers to the questions to this thread, and I thank him for understanding.

Shouldn't it be locked now?

I think the only other posts we're going to see are going to be from users who didn't take the time to read the previous posts, blatantly firing back at the original poster for not liking the series.

Read my original post, and talk to me after reading it.

I did read it, and I answered first, in fact.

I believe your original post was broken into many pieces in these 9 thread pages, and criticized bit by bit by other forum users.

You understood some posts while disagreeing with others. All in all, it seemed like you understood why teenagers and adults may like to play Mario.

Oh, I was responding to someone else. I wasn't responding to you.

You are correct though, I do understand some things about it, and others I do not understand.

Agreed.

Dude, you fail to realize how important Mario is to gaming. He made games popular. If you don't like Mario games, fine. But saying you fail to see how fun Mario is shows a UTTER amount of ignorance. Games aren't, as you put it, for "Playing as a soldier and BLOWING STUFF UP!"

Actually post when you have a argument to back your logic up. And I personally love the Halo series, and FPS is my favorite genre, but seriously, implying that its dumb for teenagers to play Mario? What a MORONIC act.

I'm a new member of this site. I am a 13 year old gamer, and I don't understand why people older than me actually like Mario. I simply do not get it. My opinion of it, is that it just looks like a game little kids would enjoy. But TEENAGERS? Jumping on bricks, controlling some little italian guy, with blue overalls, while collecting rings, and jumping on enemies, killing them? How is that actually fun, when you can play as a soilder and BLOW STUFF UP in games like Halo, Call of Duty, and Bad Company, or maybe solve puzzles like in Tomb Raider?

For me, I personally find these kind of games just, simply so much more.... Desirable, more interesting, and more mature looking than Mario. It really doesn't matter to me how much Mario has changed the gaming industry either. That's just my opinion.

I think the Mario games are, stupid. But why do so many others like it?

Why has a thread this awash in ignorance lasted this long?

@RezHaz

The mods forget to close the threads in this forum from laughing too hard.

Ok, first off, why are you posting something that will make nintendo gamers angry in a forum full of them? And second, I like Mario, and I am your age, I thought cod was stupid, and I played it, and loved it.

Ps, what games do you even own?
