There is no more enduring character in video games than Mario, the Italian who gets sucked into an alternate dimension and becomes the protector of the Mushroom Kingdom. He may have started as a humble guy trying to save his woman from a rampaging gorilla, but over the years, he's been a doctor, a sports star, a kart driver, and starred in so many different spinoff titles. On this, the first half of a two-part episode, Jed teams up with Erik Slader from Podcasters Assemble and the Super Switch Club podcasts to talk about the Evolution Of Mario, from humble beginnings to being the Mickey Mouse of video games.
