Mario is the most evergreen catalogue in the medium: the core facts of Super Mario Bros. have been frozen since 1985, and every generation since has grown up tested on them. These quizzes run the full mainline history, from World 1-1 and the first Super Mushroom through the 3D reinventions of 64, Sunshine, and the Galaxy pair, to Odyssey's kingdom tour. Power-ups and what they actually do, which game introduced what, the enemies everyone knows by silhouette, and a Mario Kart wing covering tracks, items, and records: the casual demand here is enormous, but the deep tiers are built for the players who can name every course in the Special Cup. No party games, no sports spinoffs at launch: this shelf is the platforming canon and the kart that ate the world.
The front door of the Mario shelf. A plumber, a princess, a mushroom that makes you taller and a star that makes you unstoppable: the core vocabulary of the most famous series in games, asked the way the games teach it. Ten questions covering forty years of jumping, from a 1985 rescue in the Mushroom Kingdom to kingdoms reached by throwing your own hat. If you have ever held a controller for ten minutes, this quiz was built for you to feel at home in.
