David, 38, also adds on

, released on Nintendo 64 in 1996: “I could spend hours flying in the air!

This 3D immersion was new for us, it was magical, poetic.

Everyone remembers how Mario shouted in that game. ”This episode is admittedly often cited, but players rarely limit themselves to just one Mario game.

Like Mathilde, many players shared their passion for video games in general, and their attachment to Mario in particular.

The number of afternoons I've spent on my DS or Wii playing

Sabrina, 44, has also worn the asphalt and practiced skidding on

The second spent hours on NES with his brother and Mario: “I even remember a small pocket console, not the Game Boy [surely a Game & Watch], on which we could make the plumber and Donkey Kong, all on two rotten pixel screens.

It punctuated school bus trips.

Today, he plays with his children, on the Wii,
