<div>'''Mario''' is one of the most recognizable [[video game]] characters in the world, serving as the mascot of the video game company [[Nintendo]]. Mario is a plumber who usually goes on adventures saving Princess Peach. He has a brother named [[Luigi]]. Mario was created by Shigeru Miyamoto, and was originally a carpenter called '''Jumpman'''. Mario has appeared in over 100 games since 1981's ''Donkey Kong''. Mario is an extremely recognizable character, and at one point was more recognizable than [[Mickey Mouse]].<br />
<br />
==Appearance==<br />
<br />
Mario is known for his famous red cap, blue overalls, and white gloves. He has a moustache and a rather large nose. In Super Smash Brothers Brawl (SSBB), he is given blue denim overalls, instead of his usual plain blue overalls.<br />
<br />
==Abilities==<br />
<br />
In most games he can jump particularly high, can grow to become Super Mario by eating (touching) mushrooms, obtain the ability to throw fireballs by grabbing flowers or become temporarily invincible by grabbing stars. In various games, including Super Mario Bros. 3, he can also fly by obtaining special items that vary from game to game. <br />
<br />
==History==<br />
Mario was created by Shigeru Miyamoto as one of his attempts to create a best-selling video game for Nintendo. Mario began as "Jumpman" in the video game ''Donkey Kong'' in 1981. He then appeared in ''Donkey Kong Jr.'' ,as the villain and Mario Bros. in 1983, which began Mario and Luigi's portrayal as Italian-American plumbers. Since then, Mario has then appeared in many other games for Nintendo consoles and handhelds. The first Mario console game was [[Super Mario Bros]].<br />

'''John Tyler''' was the 10th [[President of the United States of America]] and first to succeed a President without being elected. <br />
<br />
Born on his father's estate of Greenway Plantation, Virginia, Tyler was elected to the Senate in 1827 and remained there until 1836 when he ran for Vice President (this would be the last time Presidents and Vice Presidents ran separately.) He ran the next year with Harrison as Presidential candidate and himself as Harrison's running mate causing the slogan "Tippecanoe and Tyler too" to come to be. <br />
<br />
When Harrison died of pneumonia, Tyler became the President. At the time it was disputed what the substitution of the President was meant to be and ex-President [[John Quincy Adams]] sent him letters signed to "The acting President." Tyler was expelled from the Whig Party and eventually supported [[James K. Polk]] in 1844.<br />
<br />
Tyler was the only President to join the secession of the south and be elected to an office there. He died in 1862 before he could begin much active duty for the Confederacy.<ref>Encyclopedia of Presidents John Tyler by Dee Lillegard, Children's Press </ref> <ref>Encyclopedia of Presidents James K. Polk by Dee Lillegard, Children's Press </ref> <br />
<br />
As President, Tyler's first act was to proclaim a National Day of Fasting and Prayer, declaring:<ref>http://www.amerisearch.net/index.php?date=2004-03-29&view=View</ref><br />
<br />
:When a Christian people feel themselves to be overtaken by a great public calamity, it becomes them to humble themselves under the dispensation of Divine Providence, to recognize His righteous government over the children of men...and to supplicate His merciful protection for the future.<br />
<br />
In his 2nd Annual Message to Congress in 1842, President Tyler stated:<ref>''id.''</ref><br />
<br />
:The schoolmaster and the missionary are found side by side.<br />
