Happy Mario Day! (Mar10, get it?). Here's a salute to the persistent little
plumber. I'm pretty old school on this topic, as my favorite Mario game was is
first appearance in the original Donkey Kong. So here's some similarly vintage
trivia about the character: Shigeru Miyamoto wanted to make a Popeye game but
couldn't get the license, so he cooked up Mario, Donkey Kong, and Princess Peach
as substitutes for Popeye, Bluto, and Olive. I'm guessing the IP value of those
Donkey Kong characters probably now dwarfs the value of the Popeye cast, huh?
Sometimes the best deals are the ones you don't make.
