Nearly every Mario game ever in a “Family Tree”

Here’s something any true blue Mario fan should see: Limit Break’s “Family Line” of mario games.  This huge image details the “lineage” of Mario games, and it’s shocking how many there are!  From starring roles to his many small NES cameos, almost every major Mario appearance is represented – although Smash Bros  seems strangely absent.  The list seems to follow release date over series in some aspects, as Wario Land is not “descendant” of Mario Land 2, nor is Paper Mario descendant of Super Mario RPG, but it’s still an amazing image. Check it out at Limit Break!

  1. It's seriously hard to believe that so many Mario games were made. And how many of those games were top-selling games for there respective systems? I think for every system made, a Mario game was the best selling game for each system, starting with the NES all the way to the Wii. So that makes Mario like 60? lol

  2. I don't know if I like the order of the family tree (as mentioned by you, Sean) but it's incredible just how many Mario games there are, with that tree not technically being an exhaustive list.

  3. Saw that one digg…man that must have taken some really good effort to get that done it's so detailed.

  4. For the most part I liked that tree. However, I would expect sequels to be below it's previous counterpart. For instance, Mario & Luigi 2 and 3 are side by side, when the 3rd one's not even out in America. They didn't release in the same year at all. But overall it's an awesome retrospective into Mario's unique life.

  5. But if I had to venture one tiny criticism it would be this: not unlike the Russians, they seem to be a people addicted to extremes.

  6. At the other end, QPR appear to have few problems. Junior Hoilett is playing with vim on the left-wing, Charlie Austin has found goal-scoring form and in Niko Kranjcar, Rangers have one of the finest players outside the top-flight.

  7. I ask which of her parents she thinks she resembles more (her father died, mentally broken by life in a labour camp, in 1970). "I think I am like my father.. Unpleasant pressures were put on Jon and me to modify the Mao book I wont go into details and I refused.

  10. Obama's disastrous "cap and trade" tax on carbon emissions – proposed cost to the US economy: $650 billion – will not only hit US business at its lowest ebb, and make it decreasingly competitive in the global economy, but will also punish consumers by dramatically increasing energy prices and the cost of living.

  11. Although the police, and still less Keiths spaced-out party guests, could not have known it, the raid on Redlands would be a turning point in English social history. The prison sentences of three and 12 months respectively handed out to Jagger and Richards mobilised a restless-for-reform liberal establishment, and prompted a famous Times leader, 'Who Breaks a Butterfly on a Wheel? Duly persuaded, Lord Justice Parker, the Lord Chief Justice, quashed the jail terms and drug enforcement policy has never been quite the same since.

  12. Graham Bell, who tried his hand at snowboarding before switching back to skis to set a time on the racecourse, added: "This is going to be a big year for British skiing and snowboarding. As we head towards the Olympics more and more people will see our sports on the screen and want to give them a go."

  13. Having counseled scores of returning soldiers with post-traumatic stress disorder, first at in Washington and more recently at Fort Hood, he knew all too well the terrifying realities of war, said a cousin, Nader Hasan. ??He was mortified by the idea of having to deploy,?? Mr. Hasan said. ??He had people telling him on a daily basis the horrors they saw over there.??The Government aims to use the 917m spend to tackle tax evasion and raise an additional 7bn each year by 2014/15.

  14. Finnigans Hawking is made of plainer material, but it marshals its facts thoughtfully, and makes a decent stab at presenting a whole man flawed yet unique. On its own terms, as a modest Brief History, its fascinating.For this interview, I invited her to talk about five works of art representing the breadth of her output that were at least partly inspired by other artists.

  15. Adoboli went on to describe Mr Foster, who left UBS before the period in which Adoboli is alleged to have begun his fraudulent activities, as having a 'lot of strong relationships' and being 'good at managing' both him and his desk colleague John Hughes.

Bayangkanlah semasa itu, umurku baru 15 tahun dan bagaimana aku ingin hidup sendiri tanpa arah tujuan… Aku berhenti dimana saja untuk hilangkan penat dan mencari tempat untuk berlindung… Semasa aku berhenti di satu masjid untuk solat dan melepaskan penat berjalan, Seorang makcik datang mendekatiku dan bertanya kenapa aku menangis… mulanya aku berat untuk menceritakannya kerana takut percaya kepada orang yang salah…

  22. Terasa indahnya fitrah berkasih sayang yang Allah campakkan dalam diri setiap manusia. Kamariah yang sering menjadi puteri impian kepada rakan-rakan seperjuangan ku sewaktu di UM dahulu, kini sah menjadi suri hidup ku. Di antara ramai-ramai kuntuman mawar yang menghiasi taman pengajian ku, Kamariah permata yang telah mencuit hati, memenangi anugerah dekan, pimpinan mahasiswi tertinggi di kampus, jambangan mahmudahnya menarik seluruh rasa tertumpah pada dirinya. Sungguh kelat menerima takdir ini, tapi apakan daya, kawan-kawan, saudara mara yang datang mengucapkan alfu mubarak semasa hari pernikahan, datang lagi hari ini, bukan bersama hadiah atau ucap tahniah namun dengan wajah duka, menyedekahkan al Fatihah, membawa isteri ku jauh dari sisi dunia, mengusung jenazahnya ke tanah pusara???.aku tidak mampu untuk berbuat demikian, bagaikan baru sembuh dari derita penyakit kronik, aku terkulai lesu di sisi mak, aku mamai seketika, mana tidaknya, isteri yang ku hantar ke rumah teman rapatnya pada waktu pagi dalam keadaan baik, sihat sebelah petangnya aku melihat jasadnya diiringi ke tanah perkuburan. Pedih, sakitnya hati ini tidak terbendung lagi, penjahat laknat, membunuh permata dunia hati ku???.mungkin hukuman dunia dia terlepas, namun di hadapan Rabbul Jalil, dia pasti takkan dapat mengelak lagi..

Abang yang sampai lewat 3 minit dari kereta tu, bungkam bila dikhabarkan berita ini. Deritanya hayat mu ditikam peragut itu??? hati apa mereka ini???.!
