Why was there never a mascot called "Mario" on the Nintendo?

How about we kill two birds with one stone and let this plumber be half-pipe?

[Ferris]

I'm just bouncing ideas around here.  He could just have pipes somehow; if that includes going down inside them then so be it.

This is all very weak. I can see why the nintendos didn't go this "plumber" route.

[ToneLa]

Why would he go in pipes? Plumbers fix pipes, not go in them.

That Princess has pipes that need a good old clear out. No wonder Mario fell in.

Royalty is depraved..

No, they missed a trick not having a plumber and I am going to make a million bucks with this.

My idea of calling him "Mario" is just the icing on the cake.

Alright then how about this one.

So there's a ground that the character Mario stands on, just like we do with the ground in real life.

Columns on the Game Gear.  That's it though I reckon.

The Venice level in Tombraider 2.

Oh yeah. And Championship Manager 2001/02 come to think of it

Can't somebody at least type out a list of all the computer games that have been made?  It would be good to get a sense of what is out there.

To answer your question, yes, someone could.

Hope this helps!

There are 3 games:

- Samantha Fox's Strip Poker
- Tomb Raider 2
- Superb Mario

They should get on and make some more, those were all great, especially the strip poker one.

I know this isn't a time to brag, but I bet Superb Mario is way worse than the Mario I invented in this thread.

Still though - only three computer games?  I'm quite surprised by that, to be honest.  The way you hear people talking about computer games you'd think there were a lot more.

Mario is a fanny rat IMHO

Have there ever been ways to 'control' computer game characters?

For example if there have ever been ways to 'control' computer game characters.

Due to 'machine learning' they now have a mind of their own.

There is a patent for 'representation of a plumber via electronic graphics' but Nintendo doesn't own it.

It's owned by a builders' merchant in Halesowen. Not sure if they're making use of it.

Q) When is Halesowen

A) Around the end of October

Since the Pentagon's recent interest in conflict stimulation, also there are now:
- Big War
- Little War
- Knife Crime

I feel like I'm jumping the gun a bit here, but what do you guys think of these alternate versions of Mario that could be made to exist?


"Lungs" Mario

"Power Up" Mario

"Teeth" Mario / "No Teeth" Mario

"Barrel-Roll" Mario

"Carton" Mario

"Whistle-Stop" Mario

"Gavin" Mario

[greenman]

Wasn't there a Mari0, Mari1, Mari2 and Mari64?

That was purely an invention of the popular entertainment film The Wizard, many mistake it for real releases the same as they do with the power glove.

Yume Kojo Doki Doki Panic is the game we all remember of course and its turnip based antics, those tie in adverts were enough for Graham Taylor to live off for years.

[Ferris]

They could have a baddie Mario and call him Bario or Larry-o or something.

Or! Launch his own brand of cereal! Mari-Os!

[Mr. Internet]

Take it as you will, I think this baddie Mario should have a brother called Larry-o's Brother or Younger Bario Boy.

But hold the fort, guys, what if we sacked the whole idea off entirely and made a game about a fast hedgehog instead? The kids would love it. They'd laugh their arses off (with delight).

Dunno what we'd call it, though.
