One through to fifty covered by Mario! That’s it, really. We’ve filled this article with all sorts of useful and utterly useless statistics about the main man and his various games and spin-offs. Most of which, we guarantee, you never knew or really cared about before.
It’s worth noting that one of these is made up, and only put in because we couldn’t think of something to fill the gap, and another one has been bumped up one digit because we already had something for that number, but not the next one. Figure them out and post them on the forum. There may be a prize in it for you.
