Mario brings so many happiness to us. However, Glenn Elert, a Physics Teacher in New York, recently finds that the most important thing in Mario’s world is acceleration, which dues to gravity. He studys on all Mario games and makes a conclusion shown the acceleration effect in those games.
So here is the conclusion:
We determined that, generally speaking, the gravity in each Mario game, as game hardware has increased, is getting closer to the true value of gravity on earth of 9.8 m/s2. However, gravity, even on the newest consoles, is still extreme. According to Wikipedia, a typical person can withstand 5 g before losing consciousness, and all but the very latest of Mario games have gravity greater than this. Also, with gravity that great, it is a wonder Mario can perform such feats as leaping almost 5 times his own body height!

It’s crazy that someone would spend so much time looking into this. Interesting none the less.
