Personal
My very first experience with this series was at an arcade around 1986-1987. There was a VS. System cabinet with Super Mario Bros. on it. I didn't know you were supposed to hit the question mark blocks, or that you could jump on the goombas. Suffice to say, I didn't get very far. I later saw Super Mario Bros. on my baby sitter's NES and thought the game was really cool. When my brother and I bought our NES around 1988, I played the game religiously.
Personal
To this day, I still love the 2D Mario games, but I haven't been very impressed with the 3D Mario games because the dynamic has changed so much.
