Not sure if a thread for this has been made already, (if there has, then the mods can delete this and point me to it). What was the very first game in the Mario franchise game you played, along with any other firsts in specific fields?

Mario Kart: Double Dash was the very first one for me, with the Gamecube being my first console. Outside of Mario Kart, my first traditional Mario game was New Super Mario Bros. on the DS. Super Mario Galaxy was my first 3D Mario platformer and where I really started to delve into the franchise. Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story was my first experience with a Mario RPG, although Superstar Saga was the first one I completed.
 
First Mario game I played was Super Mario Advance 4 which was actually Super Mario Bros. 3 but re-ported for Game Boy Advance.

Honestly I have no idea what my very first Mario game was. Dad had an NES and the first three Super Mario Bros. games on it. Maybe it was one of those? I guess I could go over my first Mario games for the consoles I have.

Wii - Unknown (sorry!)

DS - New Super Mario Bros. (?)

3DS - Super Mario 3D Land

Wii U - Super Mario 3D World

Nintendo Switch - Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle
 
My first Mario game was on an emulator!!! SMB 3 on RetroPi, followed by most of the other NES and SNES Mario games on that platform. Once I got my first Nintendo console (2DS), I think Super Mario 3D Land was my first game on there.
 
IIRC Mario Kart Wii was technically my first but Galaxy 2 was the one that truly pulled me into the series. Other Mario games I played around the time included Galaxy 1, NSMB DS and Wii, Mario Party 9, Super Paper Mario, and Bowsers Inside Story.
 
Don't be fooled, this is just their way of rooting out the younger users

All I thought when making this topic was it would be interesting to see where people started with the franchise, I sincerely hope you're not implying what I think you are with that comment.
