Super Mario Android – Old Games in New Systems Android doesn't need too much presentation. The successful operating system is gaining more and more popularity. Apple was a front runner at that time, without any competition at all. The iOS didn't even have to worry. These days, things have changed a little. Although Android still doesn't have such a comprehensive application store, its size is growing at an amazing speed. Whether you want new games, new applications or other softwares, you can always find something new if you check out the store on a regular basis. Besides, the fact that Android is an open source system makes it even more popular. In a different dimension, Mario is by far the most popular games character in the world. He showed up decades ago and although the graphics were not impressive enough, it is still being used in various games, without any modifications. He is the famous plumber who can jump on turtles and must collect coins, but who is also supposed to save the princess. The games have evolved over the decades and new versions showed up all the time, without really changing the basics. But what is the connection between Android and Mario? Android is a new operating system, while Mario is an old games character that delighted millions of computer users. These days, the Android fans have decided to come up with a connection between the two names, hence the new Super Mario Android version. The new Mario version for Android is exactly like the games decades ago. The graphics bring back old and good memories. The game is two dimensional, while the appearance has not changed at all. He is still portrayed in that blue robe, with his famous mustache that hides any emotions. A few people know that before becoming famous as a plumber, Mario was first shown as a carpenter in the first game. However, over the years he also tried his luck as a doctor, archaeologist or president, among many others. His primary mission remains saving the princess. The princess is said to be Mario's friend. On the other hand, Mario's friend – Luigi – seems to be more attracted to it. Luigi is just as common in these old school games, although he never got to reach Mario's popularity. In the new game, Mario's abilities are the same. He also used to be referred to as the Jumpman. This is actually his most valuable weapon. He has to jump to defend the turtles, but also to get over obstacles and climb. The bricks hiding surprises may also be broken with jumps, while some older versions gave him a few different powers, such as a hammer or power-ups. Specific bonuses allow the little plumber to shoot too. Such games will definitely give Android a plus. Aside from Super Mario, you can also find Metal Slug, Mortal Kombat or Street Fighter Android versions. The game graphics are perfectly imitating the original versions, giving the users an amazing feeling. They are not just great to kill your time, but also to compete against your friends.
