This book discusses Nintendo's presence in the United States, and how they really hit a home run with the Mario franchise of games. Mario has been around for a long time, and continues to be popular amongst old and new game players alike. It was neat to learn about how Mario came to be, his design, and his name. I had never really thought about any of that before happening across this book.

This book is currently available on Audible Plus, which is the version that I have. It was approximately 7 hours to listen to, I believe. If you are interested in the physical copy, the page count is around 320. The author was extremely knowledgeable about this topic, and did plenty of research into the history of Mario and Nintendo. I only got this book because it was a nonfiction book for me to listen to for free during the workday, and I was actually really pleased by it. I did not expect to like it or find it terribly interesting at all, since I am not into video games, but it was a really interesting book. Game lovers and those interested in companies would probably really like this book.
