Content/Stucture:
Super Mario Bro's is a platform video game developed by Nintendo. The player takes on different character roles and the main objective of the game is to race through Mushroom, survive the main antagonist's forces and save the Princess. The player moves through the levels collection coins along the way in order to get to the flagpole at the end of the level. As well as the coins, there are also special bricks marked with a (?) which when hit, may reveal more coins or another special item. Players are given a certain amount of lives which are lost when the character takes too much damage. Additional lives can also be gained by collecting several items on 100 coins.
The game consists of 8 worlds with four sub levels called "stages" The final stage of each world takes part in a castle where the characters are fought in order to save the princess.
Target Audience:
The BBFC for Super Mario is U suggesting that there is no violence or agressive behaviour throughout the game. This shows that the game is aimed at children.
Issues That Might Surround The Game:
Appearance: The way that Princess Peach appears represents the woman character as the stereotypical pink girly girl. This stereotype helps portray her feminine personality. However this contrasts with the game as it is much more action themed. Peach's girlish nature and role as the damsel are represented with her heart abilities and her stubborn, yet cute appearance.
