Mario was originally known as Mr. Video and then Jumpman during the early 1980s. Nintendo felt that in order for him to become successful, his name would have to be changed to something more approachable and memorable.

Mario is instantly recognizable with his mustache, red hat and overalls. Everyone will know you are a fan when you wear this The Original Since 1981 Super Mario Bros. T-Shirt
