Non-musical history for today: 1985 – Super Mario Bros. was released in Japan for the NES, starting the Super Mario series of platforming games. Mario was originally called “Jumpman” and debuted as the antagonist for Nintendo’s Donkey Kong franchise. Later, he became Mario, often presented with an appropriated and somewhat derogatory “Italian” accent.
