“Super Mario” was a super bestseller in the world.
At first, staff would like to use Popeye in the game.
But they could not use it because of the copyright.
So they made a new character instead of Popeye.
For some time after the birth of the new character, he had no name.
The staff found there was a man in the U.S. Nintendo who was much alike to the new character.
His name was Mario(!).
The man, Mario must be very proud of his name, because it became one of the most famous names in the world.
