Ten great games with terrible storylines

Nice video game, shame about the plot...

Super Mario Bros.



Super Mario Bros. on the NES is considered a classic favourite and remains the best selling game in the Mario series.

But have you ever stopped to think the story revolves around a chubby Italian plumber jumping around in a disgustingly colourful landscape to rescue a Princess called Toadstool/Peach from an oversized turtle?

Along the way, he likes to indulge in his hobby of collecting coins. Oh, and he kills things with his anus… What the?

Shigeru Miyamoto must have been munching on mushrooms when he came up with that story (see what we did there?)
