Y8 Features Mario Bros Motorbike

Old school Mario Brothers fans can never get enough of the Super Mario Brothers. Ever since Shigeru Miyamoto conceptualized him in 1981 where he was originally known as Jumpman in the arcade game Donkey Kong, he has appeared in over 200 games, by himself or with his brother Luigi. Of the 235 Mario games on y8, Mario Bros Motorbike is one of the top rated, garnering a 90.06 percent rating among devoted fans.

The adventures of this Italian-American plumber are well-depicted in the various video games that he has appeared in. Dressed in red overalls, blue shirt and cap, Mario is perhaps, the most popular video game character in all of history. He lives in Mushroom Kingdom, hence the numerous mushrooms that are a staple feature in all Mario Bros games and his mission is to rescue Princess Peach and stop the evil turtle Browser from taking over the kingdom.

In Mario Bros Motorbike which you can play on y8, Mario is now a bike-riding dude. Using the arrow keys, you let Mario ride his bike, collect coins and do all sorts tricks like backflips and frontflips on treacherous platforms to earn points. You will have to make sure that Mario doesn't lose control and end up with dislodged tires on his motorbike or worse, let him fall into holes when you underestimate how much speed he needs in order to clear a particular obstacle. Like other Mario games, you will also encounter our plumber hero's archenemies like the koopa troopas and other villains, so you've got to maneuver him expertly to clear each level.

This y8 casual flash game is a huge favorite not only among those who grew up with Mario but also among the newer generation who cannot deny the charm that this moustache-bearing hero has. The reason why Mario games have sold more than 200 million units to date is really the unexplainable charisma that this protagonist holds which up to now, has not yet been replicated by any other video game character. Perhaps it's Miyamoto's caricature or him. Or maybe there's magic in the name—we can never really know for certain.

What's sure is that whether you let him walk on foot, collecting coins and jumping over his enemies or let him be a dirt bike rider jumping and flipping through platforms, Mario will always remain a well- known character that both parents and children will love. And at y8, there are tons of Mario games that the moms, dads and kids can play together to make for some quality family time.
