Language- The title, game packaging and background image are all key concepts to persuade the public to purchase the game. By using mostly the colour white on the packaging we can connotate that this going to be a calm game rather than action filled.
Institution- The game was developed by Nintendo, Intelligent Systems, Retro Studios and Namco Bandai. It was originally published by Nintendo. Platforms it can be played on include; Nintendo DS and Nintendo Wii. The price of the videogame varies from £28.99-£40, depending on which consoles you buy it for.
Audience- As Mario is a racing game, the majority of players would be boys; also the print advert does not contain any females on the packaging, suggesting it is a male dominated game. I think the age range for this game would be 7-15. As this game is aimed at children, the purpose is to keep children playing Nintendo games later in life rather than swaying towards games such as 'Grand Theft Auto'.
Representation- As this game is aimed at children, the purpose is to influence children to keep playing Nintendo games later in life rather than swaying towards games such as 'Grand Theft Auto'.
