Unlike the single character-based Super Mario series, modern action games involve simultaneous fast-paced elements such as shooting and fighting. Furthermore, they have exciting visuals, complex narratives, and boss battles. In action games, the players always have to overcome "enemy boss" characters to reach the next level.
