Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Who is this video game character who commonly wears red clothes, has a job as a plumber, and always has to save Princess Peach?

Answer: Mario

Mario first started out in the arcade in "Donkey Kong", which was released in 1981. In "Donkey Kong" you had to run and climb ladders to save Pauline, who is now known as Princess Peach. This is one of Nintendo's most famous mascots.

2. Who is a blue hedgehog that collects rings while finishing each stage and is one of the fastest video game characters?

Answer: Sonic the Hedgehog

3. Who is the yellow, pellet-eating character who has to dodge ghosts?

Answer: Pac-Man

Pac-Man first started out at the arcade in 1980. You probably remembered playing this game on the Atari 2600 (the first Atari). "Pac-Man" on the Atari 2600 actually was one of the poorly received games for that system. This may be shocking but it was received that way because the people that played it at the arcade said that the one for the Atari did not look like the arcade version at all.

4. Who is the video game character who wears green and is a lot like his older brother, but is taller and can jump higher?

Answer: Luigi

Luigi first started out in the arcade classic, "Mario Bros." which was released in 1983. You could play as him when you were player number two. Believe it or not, Luigi has starred in his own games! There is a game for the GameCube called "Luigi's Mansion" where Luigi wins a mansion in a contest he didn't enter and finds out there are ghosts! He then has to get the ghosts out of the mansion with his trust-worthy weapon, the Poltergust.

Answer: Samus

Samus, also known as Samus Aran, first started out on the NES video game, "Metroid" in 1986. There is proof that Samus was a female in "Metroid" because when you beat the game and could end the game fast, it shows Samus's Power Suit explode and shows her in her bikini.

8. Who is the video game character who is an enemy of the video game hero, Mario, has a shell with spikes on it, and loves to kidnap princesses?

Answer: Link

Link first started out in the NES game, "The Legend of Zelda" which was released in 1986. If you chose Zelda as your answer, don't feel bad, many people get this mixed up. Zelda was the princess in the game you had to rescue and Link was the one who did all the fighting.
