From a flat 2-D sprite to a mustachioed 3-D hunk, Nintendo's plumber turns star. Behold Mario's marvelous transformation.

He's flat, but more than capable of stomping goombas

Super Mario Bros. laid the groundwork for modern day Mario. After losing his beer gut, he proved to be much more agile, whether hopping on turtle shells or swimming in dangerous waters. Unfortunately, the Princess was always in another castle. At least he was able to double in size with the help of a mushroom, becoming Super Mario.
