We all love Mario – well most of us anyway – but did you know that there are still secrets about him being uncovered?<\/p>\n

I learn more about Mario and his worlds every day on the net, even though some of the crazy facts were staring me in the face and \u00a0I still managed to miss them.\u00a0Here are some of the things I didn\u2019t know about Mario<\/a> until recently – now you know them too.<\/p>\n

Mario is dying on the cover of Super Mario Bros.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The original Super Mario Bros. shows Mario in his fire flower outfit with his white overalls and his red shirt. The thing that I didn\u2019t notice was the fact that he was about to hit the lava and die. Look carefully at the box-art, he was about to become fried Mario, all this time, how have I been so blind?<\/p>\n

You could jump over the flagpole in Super Mario Bros.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ever wondered what was past the flagpole? Well, nothing but an endless wall of death. If you ever managed to drop over the flagpole in world 1-1 on Super Mario Bros. you will be doomed to a life of lonely brick counting – until your timer runs out. As you can see, once you land over the flag pole and walk a bit the screen cannot go back to the flagpole and you are stuck there.<\/p>\n
