GameDaily writes: "What started out as a guy simply trying to rescue his whiny girlfriend from an angry ape twenty-six years ago has since grown into one of the most recognizable faces in video gaming to date... in honor of our big, explosive preview of his forthcoming Wii game Super Mario Galaxy, we thought we'd take a brief (yet detailed) look back at his gaming history, which breaks down into five categories- platforming, role-playing, sports, driving, and other."
