About this quiz

What you’ll practice

This quiz sharpens your memory of when each mainline Mario title first debuted, helping you connect games to their era and hardware generation.

Each question uses 4 options and there’s no timer, so you can focus on recall rather than speed while you work through the timeline.

Difficulty and setup

Difficulty is mixed: you’ll see well-known landmark releases alongside trickier years where multiple Mario titles cluster close together.

Choose your question count and difficulty before you start—shorter sets are great for warm-ups, while longer runs reward consistent timeline accuracy.

Common pitfalls to avoid

  • Mixing a game’s original debut year with later ports, remakes, or re-releases
  • Confusing closely spaced sequels that launched within the same console generation
  • Misplacing early-era titles because of regional release differences
  • Overthinking: the correct choice is usually the first debut year, not the “definitive” version
  • Letting spin-offs blur the line—this quiz targets mainline entries, not every Mario-branded game

Tips for higher scores

Anchor your guesses around major console eras (NES, SNES, N64, GameCube, Wii, Switch) and then narrow down by remembering which titles were launch-window hits versus late-generation releases.
