In most games Mario can jump particularly high, can grow to become Super Mario by eating (touching) mushrooms, obtain the ability to throw fireballs by grabbing flowers or become temporarily invincible by grabbing stars. In various games, including ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', he can also fly with assistance from the Tanooki Leaf by obtaining special items that vary from game to game.

==History==
==Real-world history==
Mario was created by Shigeru Miyamoto as one of his attempts to create a best-selling video game for Nintendo. Mario first appeared in ''Donkey Kong'' in 1981. Contrary to popular belief, Jumpman was only a nickname for Mario at the time, not his only name. He then appeared in ''Donkey Kong Jr.'', as the villain, and ''Mario Bros.'' in 1983, which began Mario and Luigi's portrayal as Italian-American plumbers. Since then, Mario has then appeared in many other games for Nintendo consoles and handhelds. The first ''Mario'' console game was ''Mario Bros'' for the Atari and other consoles, followed by ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' for the [[Nintendo Entertainment System]].
