What was the first Mario game you ever played?

My first one overall had to either be Super Mario Land or Super Mario 64 since I got them both in a pretty close time frame, but my memory is a little faded.

Arcade version ("VS Super Mario Bros."; took another year before we got an NES). (This, if you're not counting the original Donkey Kong).
 
the first mario game i've ever played was super mario bros. however i played it on some bootleg console. so in that case technically my first ever mario game was new super mario bros wii
 
It's pretty fascinating how technically the first Mario game I played would remain among my most hated Mario titles today.
 
I think my first Mario game was some flash game called Super Mario Flash. It is a fan game after all.
 
Mario Kart 64, in a hotel room when I was at Washington, DC, USA in March of 2001. I started out playing a PlayStation and I love racing games.
 
Super Mario Bros (NES) and Super Mario Bros 3 (NES): 4 or 5 years old. I remember getting Mario 3 from the SEARS here in town way back when it first came out and I was in Kindergarten then and so I never really completed either game until I was a bit older. In 1st grade, I received my SNES for Christmas that year and Super Mario World came with it so I was about 7 then. I felt really accomplished when I got past "Tubular" in Special World and beat that aspect of the game. The N64 didn't come out until I was 12 or so in '96 and got Mario 64 for that. I somehow managed to get all 120 stars in it and it took me the better part of a year to do that. After the N64 I moved on to other consoles with eventually becoming primarily a PC gamer. Eventually, a friend of mine had picked up a Wii and I would play Super Mario Galaxy when I would visit him as well as the New Super Mario Bros game. Largely nothing from that until I received my own Nintendo Switch Lite from a good friend and got myself Super Mario Bros U Deluxe for it and also Super Mario Bros 3D All-Stars. So getting back into the interest. I need something light, silly, cheery, and happy and so the series is definitely that.
