Mario Bros. Retrospective Part 6: Into the Third Dimension

Welcome to Part 6 of our Mario Bros. retrospective!
In this episode, Mario enters the third dimension, in more ways than one! Yoshi takes center stage on the Super NES, Mario sees red in a retro throwback on the Virtual Boy, and revolutionizes the entire world of gaming in the premiere title for the Nintendo 64.

In this series, we aim to tell the story of the Mario Bros. series as it unfolded for North American audiences. We are not only looking at the games themselves, but the historical context surrounding them, and what it was like being a fan as these games were being released.
