A full mario type game requires many parts for a moving character. The
hardest parts will involve colliding the character with platforms.

As for starting with left and right, you should look at the "chimp" and
"aliens" example. In the chimp example a monkey zigzags across the
window. The aliens example has a car controlled by the left and right
arrow keys.
