Good Afternoon,
I never said I was a smart man and neither has anyone
else. To bulk up my brain I tried a few of these
intelligence tests. I did fairly well on them and now
you can see how well you can do.
Can you beat my score of 5 on the first test?
Mouthing Off,
Carl

Here are 10 things you may not know about our favorite
video game character Mario:
- Mario was first seen in the video game Donkey Kong, but
he was called "Jumpman." He was also a carpenter then,
not a plumber.
- Mario was named after Mario Segale, the landlord of
Nintendo of America's office, who barged in on a company
meeting demanding an overdue rent.
- Shigeru Miyamoto drew Mario as wearing a cap because
he found drawing hair difficult. He also drew in the
moustache, because it was easier to see than a mouth
in the crude video game screen resolution back then.
- Mario and his younger brother Luigi are known as the
"Mario Brothers." This means that Mario's last name is
also Mario, so his full name is Mario Mario.
- Mario is voice-acted by Charles Martinet, who crashed
the audition for "an Italian plumber from Brooklyn"
character.
- Mario's nemesis is Wario (a combination of "warui", the
Japanese word for bad, and Mario). Similarly, Luigi's
rival is Waluigi. Both are also voiced by Charles
Martinet.
- Mario has appeared in over 200 video games so far, has
sold over 193 million units of games (all of the Mario
series) and even has his own TV cartoon show. Super Mario
Bros. 3 alone grossed over $500 million in USA.
- TV Schmeve, you're nothing till there's an opera done on
you. In 2003, Jonathan Mann of California Institute of
Arts created The Mario Opera, a rock opera.
- Super Mario Bros. theme music, written by Koji Kondo,
is known worldwide. It has inspired countless fan-
renditions, including one played by Zack Kim on two
guitars (viewed over 4 million times on YouTube!),
played by Jean Baudin on 11 string bass, beatboxed by
Greg Patillo on the flute, and played by the Oregon
Pro Arte Chamber Orchestra on the trombones.
- Mario is the most famous character in the history of
video games, and perhaps is the most famous character
ever. In a 1990 poll by Marketing Evaluations, Mario
was found to be more popular (and recognizable) among
children than Mickey Mouse.
