Mario Games: A Family Tradition

Mario games are awesome computer games that I loved as a kid and it's hard to admit that until now I still enjoy playing these Nintendo games. Imagine a tiny plumber Mario, conquering a dragon spitting out big balls of fire - saving the princess is his ultimate quest. It is a lot of fun just how colourful and improved the graphics of the games has been developed over the years.

Nintendo has never failed to innovate Mario games to still appeal to the children of today's generation. Mario games has definitely become a tradition - a family tradition, actually, that has passed on through generations and as a parent I would not think twice of introducing it to my children and allowing them to fall in love with it as much as I have fallen in love with this game. Unlike some video games that could really get violent, Mario games are very kid-friendly that no adult would prohibit a child from playing.

Over the years, Mario games had created many equally fun games from role playing games to solving puzzles, from sports to racing and so much more. From Mario being the popular character of the game, Nintendo created several other characters to choose from. Luigi is Mario's brother, Princess Peach, Mushroom, Baby Mario and a lot more characters that make the games really interesting. Those varieties, I mentioned, made it so much more appealing to kids and to parents, as well. These games are not just for fun, they are also educational.

Solving puzzles make kids think and analyze situations. When it comes to sports, they are able to understand the rules of the game and develop skills of thinking fast and accurate. It enhances a child's computer literacy. When a kid gets bored playing a certain computer game, he tends to explore the internet and the computer controls which makes him develop computer skills.

There are Mario games available online. These are commonly adventure games wherein Mario, controlled by the player, finds his way to saving the princess. On his way to finding the princess, there are many battles that have to be won and power ups to earn along the way. These power ups would help you attain more lives to survive the increasing level of difficulty of the game. It helps the player learn critical thinking and analyzing, problem solving and dexterity. Kids who love playing video games grow up to be knowledgeable about computers. However, we still encourage parents and guardians to supervise your children when using the internet because children love to explore out of curiosity. Moderate use of the computer may still be enforced for your child's physical and social interaction with other children in the community.
