The ''Mario'' franchise was created by [[Shigeru Miyamoto]], a Japanese video game designer. The first game in the franchise, ''[[Donkey Kong (video game)|Donkey Kong]]'', was released in 1981. The game introduced Mario, then known as Jumpman, who was originally a carpenter rather than a plumber. The character was renamed Mario in the 1982 arcade game ''[[Donkey Kong Jr.]]'', named after Nintendo of America's landlord, Mario Segale. | The ''Mario'' franchise was created by [[Shigeru Miyamoto]], a Japanese video game designer.
