About this episode
Super Mario Brothers is the best-selling game of all time and was responsible for the success of the original NES. But it never would have happened if it wasn't for Popeye the Sailor Man. In this episode, we look back on how the spinach-loving sailor paved the way for what would become Super Mario Bros.
