How many times has MARIO DIED?
How many times must he suffer.
Over the many many years Mario titles have sold millions and caused millions of deaths of innocent Mario, but just how many times has he died? A cursory Google search found at least one Redditor estimates the Total Mario Deaths to be 26 billion; another ventures 10 billion. But, I believe the number is much larger. SO here are my calculations. Here is a list of how many titles were sold between 1985 and 2016.
Super Mario Bros. (1985): 40.24 million
Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels (1986): 2.65 million
Super Mario Bros. 2 (1988): 7.46 million
Super Mario Bros. 3 (1988): 17.28 million
Super Mario Land (1989): 18.14 million
Super Mario World (1990): 20.61 million
Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins (1992): 11.18 million
Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island (1995): 4.12 million
Super Mario 64 (1996): 11.91million
Super Mario Sunshine (2002): 6.31 million
New Super Mario Bros. (2006): 30.80 million
Super Mario Galaxy (2007): 12.72 million
New Super Mario Bros. Wii (2009): 29.90 million
Super Mario Galaxy 2 (2010): 7.67 million
Super Mario 3D Land (2011): 11.17 million
New Super Mario Bros. 2 (2012): 11.09 million
New Super Mario Bros. U (2012): 5.62 million
Super Mario 3D World (2013): 5.47 million
Super Mario Maker (2015): 3.89 million
Super Mario Run (2016): 150 million downloads
Total: 408.23 million units sold/downloaded
Now, I am not sure about everyone, but I would say that most people die at least 3 times per level. So using that number, most Mario games also have at least 100 levels. That would mean that the calculation would look something like this 408,230,000 X 300. But that does not account that many people do not finish the games. So a more accurate average would look like this, 408,230,000 X 125.
Therefore, Mario has died around 51,028,750,000 times.
HOWEVER, this does not even account for the paper Mario games, Mario cart, or even super smash brothers. So, it is completely possible Mario has died OVER 100,000,000,000
Pretty crazy right?
