Light, but also dark past of Mary. What did he do wrong?

Who doesn’t know Mario. A handsome guy with a cool mustache in a blue jumpsuit who became the mascot of Nintendo and perhaps the most famous character in video games. But there are things that are not talked about much. We have found the most interesting and on the occasion of the premiere of Super Mario Bros. in the movie, we tell you the truth about the plump plumber in the red cap.

Mario was born as a replacement. Japanese designer Shigeru Miyamoto originally wanted a platform game with characters from Peppa Pig. Beloved by children, Pepek had to fight Bluto and save Olive Oyl. However, he never obtained a license for them (he did not manage to do this until later), and so in 1981 a large brown barrel-throwing gorilla, a fat Italian carpenter with a mustache, and Miss Pulin, who must be saved from the gorilla’s paw, were born.

At that time, it was still an unnamed hero, who was called Jumpman in the English-language manual. Miyamoto did not initially expect the carpenter to become popular. He wanted him to be a versatile character that he could use in any game. That’s why they called him master. Video.

According to the extended story, “Mr. Video” became Mario during the localization of Donkey Kong for US players. At the time, Nintendo’s American branch was in arrears with the rent, and owner Mario Segale demanded that the company pay off the debt. Segale was supposed to show up at Nintendo headquarters just as the carpenter’s name was being discussed. After a heated argument in which Nintendo employees finally convinced Sagale to pay him, they decided to name the character after him because he impressed them. Thus, Mario was born.

The plumber only became Mario after he left the construction site with Donkey Kong and went on a pipe adventure in the New York sewers in Mario Bros. since 1983. Carpenter in this case does not make sense. Here we also met his twin brother Luigi. Although some games describe Luigi as Mario’s younger brother.

Although Luigi is a common Italian name, it is also a play on the Japanese word Ruiji, which means “similar”. This is a reference to Luigi, who looks almost exactly like Mario, only with the colors switched. It is only in later versions that Luigi is taller and slimmer.

For more than 40 years, Mario has changed many professions. We already told you that before he became a legendary plumber, he worked as a carpenter for Donkey Kong. But we could also see him as a pill dispenser, a construction worker, an Olympic athlete, a professional golfer, a football player, a baseball player, a tennis player, or even a wrestler. No wonder Mario has appeared in over 255 games.

Of course, everyone could see it. But we’re here to reveal the behind-the-scenes details. Few people already know that in the first version of the classic platformer Super Mario Bros. Mario was an action hero with laser guns. This idea was abandoned at a later stage when Miyamoto focused on jumping and replaced the weapons with fireballs and super invincibility. Although in the Mario + Rabbids series, the hero still fell into the hands of weapons. So we haven’t really lost anything, and neither has he.

Mario initially swapped the colors around. Instead of the iconic blue jumpsuit with a red t-shirt and hat, he donned red trousers and a blue cap with a blue t-shirt.

What stays with him throughout time is his iconic mustache and cap. Both elements were originally created due to the limitations of 8-bit graphics at the time, when it was easier to give him a mustache and cap than to create a visible mouth and hair. In addition, the mustache emphasized the nose. On the other hand, bold colors were meant to encourage more visible movement.

Will you tell him that he is a villain or that he will hurt a fly? Such a kind and hardworking person with great talent.

Well no, I wouldn’t say that. You are here praising this Mario and talking about him as a hero! In my eyes he is a terrorist! Think of that impostor!

From a very young age, Nintendo taught us how to jump on turtles and goomba mushrooms with the help of this plumber. Animals walk peacefully on their home planet, and the guy runs and jumps on everyone’s heads. Are you not awakened by the sound of crackling shells? Why does Mario kill them, huh? Why? Because she stands in his way from revenge and saving the princess he is in love with. How many creatures had to take their lives for the sake of love?

And where is PETMA when the fairy kingdom needs her?

And poor Yoshi, who has Mario instead of an Uber. And when things go wrong, Mario is not afraid to sacrifice them for his own sake! Have you noticed how the poor girl jumps from the dinosaur? He just kicks it like a piece of rag! And when he needs Yoshi to kill enemies for him, he punches him in the head until the poor green guy’s tongue sticks out! Freedom for Joachim! Free Yoshi!

However, he also practices such unacceptable behavior towards those closest to him. It cannot be said that he will ever noticeably share the glory with his retarded brother. He offered him neither a piece of the mushroom nor a piece of the princess. He just uses it. Do you think Mario gave Luigi his own series of games? I wish it didn’t! Who wants to go to a haunted castle when you can enjoy a sunny walk, eat mushrooms and rob animals of their hard-earned gold coins.

Not to mention Bowser. He may be Mario’s enemy, but that doesn’t mean he has to brutally kill him. Why doesn’t Mario follow the Justice League example? Instead, he coldly throws Bowser into the lava. We would have died right away, but Bowser has a strong skeleton. Do you know how long he had to cook and suffer there?

And if the plumber here wants to preach water and drink wine himself, and what should he do with negative characters, then remember who he really was. Yes! Mario wasn’t originally a hero. He was a villain. Before we got acquainted with the story of a brave hero, Mario held Donkey Kong captive. In a cage! He tortured him. And we’re in Donkey Kong Jr. they had to face many traps to save their father. And even then we were witnesses of how indifferent he was to the life of animals. Because back then, in ’82, he used animals as mere weapons to stop Donkey Kong from getting free.

Calm down Zerb, these are just speculations. Everyone loves Mary. And speaking of negative things.

Have you ever wondered what happened to the inhabitants of the Mushroom Kingdom? Based on the original Super Mario Bros. for the NES and Famicom, Bowser and Koopa used spells that turned everyone in range into bushes, clouds, and blocks that Mario ran into to gain coins and power-ups. Those who did not succumb to this fate were instead transformed into mindless maroon bipedal creatures known as Goombas. They fight in an army led by Bowser.

No, we don’t mean it as a swear word. Early in development, Miyamoto envisioned Bowser’s nemesis as more like a bull, inspired by the 1960 Japanese anime musical film Alakazam the Great. However, the animator misunderstood the drawing, seeing Bowser as more like a turtle, and after heated discussion, Bowser was created in the style of a giant demonic turtle.

Speaking of villains… Today’s Donkey Kong is not the Donkey Kong of the arcade games of yesteryear. In current canon, he is Cranky Kong, appearing in the Donkey Kong Country series and other games. You can hear him chatting with links to the original game; he mentions an epic battle with a carpenter named Mario and Pauline’s kidnapping. So who is Donkey Kong from Smash Bros, Mario Kart, Mario Party and other modern games? The answer is quite simple: he is the grandson of the original Donkey Kong.

In the games, we see rivalries between Mario and Luigi and Wario and Waluigi, which led many to believe that the latter couple are also brothers. This contributed to the first part. However, in reality, Waluigi and Wario are not related. The official biography of the Japanese Nintendo revealed that Waluigi is a random alien who hates Luigi, and that he and Wario share a mutual hatred of the Mario brothers. This goes hand in hand with actor Charles Martinet’s archival interview with Combo, who described Wario and Waluigi as two good guys and bad guys who found each other.

But things could have been very, very different. Perhaps Nintendo wouldn’t exist today, and Mario wouldn’t even exist. In 1981, when Donkey Kong became a popular video game and spread to board games, snack boxes, and animated series, lawyers for the American film conglomerate MCA Universal (today Universal Studios) gave Nintendo an ultimatum. The Japanese company had to hand over all profits from Donkey Kong within 48 hours and destroy any unsold copies of the game.

According to lawyers, Donkey Kong should have violated King Kong’s copyright. This was rejected by Nintendo, and in a legal battle, among other things, celebrity lawyer Howard Lincoln argued that MCA Universal did not own the copyright to King Kong and used his own argument that King Kong was in fact a public domain trademark. It was thanks to this statement that MCA Universal won the lawsuit at the time. They probably forgot about it when they sued Nintendo, or they hoped that Nintendo would get scared and give up. The court ultimately dismissed the claim and MCA Universal had to pay Nintendo $1.8 million in damages.

And with this positive news we say goodbye today! We hope you enjoyed our selection of facts from the world of Mario! Have we forgotten anything?
