It featured the first appearance of Princess Peach Toadstool, King Bowser Koopa and other characters. Mario and Luigi save Peach (Princess Toadstool in the NES Version) from Bowser for the first time in this game. This game was so popular it had two sequels and a lot of spinoffs as well. There was even a TV Series and a movie based on it.The game consisted of 8 worlds with 4 sub-worlds in each. The first sub-world was an above ground world, the second was below ground (sometimes in water), the third is a sky world (except the eighth world), and the forth is a castle. The third and sixth worlds are nocturnal, but the other worlds are diurnal.
