Trivia: What game featured the first appearance of Mario?
Donkey Kong
Mario Bros.
Punch-Out!!
Super Mario Land
The correct answer is Donkey Kong
So why is this answer correct? : Though the titular ape in Donkey Kong is an iconic character in his own right, it was the little mustachioed hero that changed gaming forever. In an unrelenting quest to rescue Princess Pauline, the hero — whose name, “Jumpman,” eventually became “Mario” — soon jumped his way into the follow-up Mario Bros. arcade game, onto the Nintendo Entertainment System, and into the history books.
