Happy Mario Day! While everyone else is listing their favorite games in the series<\/a> or competing in wacky Mario-related challenges<\/a>, I decided to go a different route in showing my appreciation for the series. Mario is the very reason I first fell in love with gaming as a child and its long list of characters have given me countless hours of entertainment over the years. So with that in mind, I\u2019d like to just run down a bunch of those names\u00a0and give a quick, sometimes stupid reason for why I\u2019m thankful for each and every one.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
