So basically I want to create a game in delphi 7 but I don't know what to do first xD. I want to create a super mario like game so if you guys can help me that would be amazing. This is my first time doing something like this. I know how to code in delphi but I've never done anything like a 2d or even a 3d game.

Developing a game from scratch (whether in Delphi, CSharp, Java etc) is going to be PITA - you have to develop first game engine (graphics part), and then make your game. This usually involves DirectX (in Windows).

There are several free game engines, where you only have to put your imagination, and not bother with "How to draw a smiley face in 3D".

Last but not least: Delphi 7 is like fifteen years old - way out of support, well behind modern software development tools. I remember in the past a teacher used to publish regular articles on Delphi, some of them were games, but I have to dig into my archives to find it.

Edit: Check delphiforfun.org, you'll find a lot of ideas there.
