I heard that Super Mario Bros. is listed in it. Can anyone give me the citation? I could use it for a speech. Most selling game.

Mine is in Spanish, but I'll translate as best as possible:

"Mario, the character first introduced in Donkey Kong in 1982 and star of the game Mario Bros. was more known than Mickey Mouse in a poll made in 1991 to children. "

also:

"[...]Super mario bros 3 has sold over 15 million copies and is the most-sold videogame"

Want other games or videogames related stuff from Guiness 1999? :]

If that's true, then it's not in MY Guiness Book of Records. D: Not in the 1999 one.

Best Selling Video Game Ever
Super Mario Bros from Nintendo was created by Shigeru Miyamoto, the Japenese game developer and creator of the Donkey Kong arcade games. Mario first apeared in Donkey Kong in 1982 and again in Mario Bros in 1984. He has since stared in other games for the Super Nintendo, Game Boy and Virtual Boy. Super Mario Bros 3 has sold 15 million coppies worldwide and is the best selling video game ever.

On the next page, the smallest camera ever made is the Game Boy camera and the biggest plasma TV is 50 inches.

Super Mario Bros 1 has sold 40.23 mill, but that includes the games that were packed in with the NES, which aren't counted towards the world record. Super Mario Bros 3 has sold more single copies than SMB1, at 18million
