Best Answer

The video game character Mario first appeared in an arcade game titled "Donkey Kong", in which you must climb up a series of ladders and obstacles to save a girl named Paulina from the clutches of a giant ape who throws barrels and other things at you. He was originally called Jumpman, and he was based off of the creator's landlord.

The arcade game appeared in 1981 and the Game Boy version in 1994.

Donkey Kong for the arcade machines.

originaly popeye, bruto and olive oil in place of Mario, D.K. and Pauline.

even in his first debut he wasn't a plumber he was a carpenter, and his name wasn't Mario, it was Jumpman. if you count that as not Mario his first debut was Super Mario bros. for the Nintendo entertainment system. (NES)

Mario had to start somewhere, and this was in the arcade version of Donkey Kong in 1981. Known only as a carpenter named "Jumpman," his job was to hob over various obstacles (usually wooden barrels) to get to rescue the captured damsel-in-distress. He reappeared in Donkey Kong Junior in 1982, only this time playing the part of the villain.

The ubiquitous plumber Mario first appeared as the questing nemesis of Donkey Kong in the 1981 arcade game. This was adapted to the Game Boy system in 1994.
