What does a First Grade Teacher do? You always remember the name of your First Grade Teacher. It's not just because they taught you your ABC's, how to read your first sentence, or how to sit at a desk for more than five minutes at a time. First Grade Teachers usher new students into the rest of their academic careers.
While Nintendo of America seems quite happy to give Super Mario Bros. a publication date of October 18, 1985 (as seen on the Virtual Console service, its NES game listing, and in other places), not all gaming historians seem comfortable with that date.
Two of the original Nintendo Entertainment System Mario games have been ported to Wii U and altered to feature Luigi as the protagonist. Luigi was first introduced in the 1983 arcade game Mario Bros., where he and Mario battle pests on a single screen. The first game to star Luigi was the 1992 game Mario is Missing. The first game to use the Luigi branding is the 2001 game Luigi's Mansion, which introduces the haunted theme that is used in many of Luigi's following appearances.
