<p>There is no more enduring character in video games than Mario, the Italian who gets sucked into an alternate dimension and becomes the protector of the Mushroom Kingdom. He may have started as a humble guy trying to save his woman from a rampaging gorilla, but over the years, he's been a doctor, a sports star, a kart driver, and starred in so many different spinoff titles. On this, the first half of a two-part episode, Jed teams up with Erik Slader from Podcasters Assemble and the Super Switch Club podcasts to talk about the Evolution Of Mario, from humble beginnings to being the Mickey Mouse of video games.</p><p>Listen to the <a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/2dzc0Kbv1uEQEZUMi3yzFe?si=32dd986604624a52" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Super Switch Club</a> and <a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/06iypsJlITYDMqcDszRAo4?si=cb2181830ea94040" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Podcasters Assemble!</a></p><p>Follow us on <a href="https://linktr.ee/firstgengamerspodcast" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">the socials</a>!</p>

<p>Every gamer has different tastes in gaming. But there is one truth that unites every gamer: somehow, some way, we need a device to control the game. Controllers are what make a game a game, and they can either immerse you in the action by feeling like a seamless extension of you, or bury you under awkward design. On this episode of First Gen Gamers, Ash and Jed are looking at the best and worst base controllers in console history. The controllers that came with the console itself. What just melts into our hands, and what should just be melted in an incinerator? You gotta listen to find out!</p><p>Follow us <a href="https://linktr.ee/firstgengamerspodcast" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">on social media</a>!</p>
