100 Weird Facts About Mario That YOU Didn't Know!

these are 100 of the weirdest Mario facts the Super Mario Bros movie is the highest grossing video game movie of all time in fact it made over three times as much money as Pokémon detective Pikachu the second highest grossing film based on a video game the Super Mario Bros movie is also the third highest grossing animated film just behind Frozen 2 in The Lion King liveaction remake wait how is that animated well many fans heard Charles maret's iconic Mario voice in Super Mario 64 for the first time his first appearance as the voice of Mario was technically in Mario teach's typing for the PC while Mario teach's typing was released in 1994 Charles Martin's career as the voice of Mario started in 1991 as he would regularly attend trade shows for Nintendo which featured a 3D Mario head display that would move to match the head and mouth movements of Charles martinet Nintendo has continued to do this real-time Mario concept several times since including a at e307 where Martin a famously referred to Sony as fantastic and then had Mario's nose extend like Pinocchio while Chris Pratt plays Mario in the Super Mario Bros movie Charles maret actually has two cameos in the film he plays both Mario's father and a supporting character known as jeppi who has Mario's iconic voice from the games in NBA Street v3s which featured iconic NBA stars you could actually play as Mario Luigi and Peach in the GameCube version the three characters were referred to as Nintendo Allstars and they even got their own Nintendo Court which was based off the Super Mario series while we've never seen Peach's parents in a Mario game early Nintendo Comics actually depicted artwork of king and queen toad stool in Mario Power Tennis one of shy guys's Victory animations shows him stumbling as his mask falls to the ground while you can't see what's behind the mask in the game fans have adjusted the game's camera to reveal that shyy is completely faceless Mario's original color palette has been swapped in his earliest appearances he dawned red overalls with a blue undershirt unlike his modern Garb featuring blue overalls with a red undershirt which makes a lot more sense cuz overalls are denim well me and Moto originally envisioned having Mario ride a dinosaur in the original Super Mario Bros the concept was ultimately scrapped due to Hardware limitations of the NES however you can technically ride Yoshi in an NES title in the NES Port of Mario is missing you can ride Yoshi as IGI in Mario Party Wario has this voice line oh I missed the line actually sparked a long debate among fans that argued whether he was saying though I missed or so I missed which roughly translates to OD Dam in German decades later Charles Martin responded to a tweet on Twitter stating that I'm the one who said it and it's do I missed finally clearing up the confusion another ambiguous Mario voice line can be found in Super Mario 64 when he throws Bowser many fans hear the line as so long a Bowser with fans even jokingly quoting the line as so long gay Bowser however Charles Mar has confirmed that the line is actually so long King Bowser Super Mario 3D Land Special World 8 map music actually originated from a short video Nintendo created for flip note Studio on the DSi which saying a guide on how to draw Mario in the wiu version of Lego City Undercover there's several references to the Super Mario series including balloons that look like Superstars and even an unlockable Mario hat Paper Mario originally was going to be a direct sequel to Super Mario RPG however due to Nintendo's falling out with square Paper Mario was born as a result in Japan the Mario and Luigi series is titled Mario and Luigi RPG clearly taking inspiration from Super Mario RPG the character Gino from Super Mario RPG has a brief cameo in one of the mini games in Mario and Luigi Superstar Saga however he was cut from The Game's remake since he was owned by Square Enix Mario Luigi Superstar Saga was supposed to include several cameos from characters from other Nintendo series including link Fox McLoud and Captain Amar each character would give you an item from the respective games but the cameos were ultimately scrapped as the items were replaced with generic items in 2013 a Super Mario 64 speedrunner found a glitch that clipped him on top of the ceiling of Tik Tock Clock however after many other speedrunners failed to recreate this glitch They concluded that an i izing particle was responsible for this phenomenon meaning that the sun managed to change the game's code by a single digit causing the ceiling to be registered as just low enough for the speedrunner to land on top of which to me just seems like extreme cope but maybe that's just me well Mario Paint is considered to be one of the most obscure Mario games it's actually got a title sequel Mario artist paint studio for the Nintendo 64dd however neither the game nor the 64 DD were released outside of Japan due to the DD's por sales performance Super Mario Bros and friends when I grow up might technically be the first Mario Paint title this obscure game released in 1992 and it's just a Nintendo licensed CD ROM where you color in pictures of Mario and his friends the first ever Super Mario game that was playable on a PC was Super Mario special which was a PC Port of Super Mario Bros developed by Hudson software all the way back in 1986 Super Mario special actually has its own unique items including the hammer from Donkey Kong in the wing which essentially let you swim in the air the golden clocks in Super Mario 3D Land actually originate from Super Mario Bros special as well as there's a clock item that you can collect to add 100 seconds to your in-game timer in Mario Tennis for the Game Boy Color the only way to unlock Yoshi Bowser Wario and Waluigi is by using an N64 transfer pack to transfer your data from Mario Tennis 64 to your Game Boy Color cartridge yeah maybe not every game should be like Pokémon Mario technically has his own firstperson shooter in 1993 Nintendo released Yoshi's Safari a game that utilized the snes's super scope and has the player ride on top of Yoshi as you shoot down Mario items Mario Safari is also the first game in the Mario Series where Princess Toad stool was referred to as Peach in the west throughout the mid90s Nintendo released several educational Mario games under the title Mario's early years for both Super Nintendo and PC these games include Mario's early years fun with letters fun with numbers and preschool fun Nintendo actually released their first educational Mario title all the way back in 1983 Donkey Kong Jr math was a famicom game where players would Advance through the levels by performing basic arithmetic many fans believe that Daisy was forgotten about after Super Mario Land until she was later playable in Mario Tennis for the N64 however she actually appeared in NES open tournament golf in 1991 as a non-playable character playing the role as Luigi's caddy the original pal version of Mario Party 8 was recalled and taken off store shelves due to the character Kimi using the term while simply referring to an outof control train however the word is considered to be an ablest slur in the United Kingdom so was later replaced with the word erratic instead there's an official Nintendo licensed magazine that was available on The snes's satell View which is perhaps the most crude and bizarre piece of media Mario has ever been in this was a virtual magazine that showed a dark side of Mario where he goes to jail and even kills Peach and Toad none of it really makes any sense and there's even a cameo of Bill Gates for some reason in the original Donkey Kong title Mario isn't even given a name and is referred to as Jumpman instead the first game in which he's referred to as Mario was Donkey Kong Junior Mario apparently got his name from Mario Seagal which was the landlord of the warehouse used by Nintendo of America Donkey Kong 94's ending shows Mario using a super mushroom for the first time the game concludes by having a rescued Pauline give Mario a super mushroom as he stares at it in shock only to have him double in size to his surprise funnily enough in the Mario movie Mario claims to hate mushrooms so this may explain his fearful expression in the 1980s McDonald suggested a partnership with Nintendo in which Mario's M on his hat would become the McDonald's logo however this request was declined McDonald's and Mario did eventually collaborate though as in 1990 they partnered with Nintendo to create Happy Meal toys based on Super Mario Bros 3 and the two companies have had several Partnerships since as a part of marketing for Super Mario Strikers concept art for a poster promoting the game was made that featured a crude illustration of two soccer balls in a net with the caption you're going to need a pair however the poster was scrapped due to obvious reasons Next Level games the developers behind Mario Strikers also plan to release a volleyball game titled Super Mario spikers which featured the characters using wrestling like moves however Nintendo turned down the project as they found it to be too gritty and violent many of the vehicles in the ntsc and pal versions of Mario Party Wii have wildly different names for instance America's sugar scoot is called the bon bon in Europe while many fans refer to this shell as the blue shell it's canonically referred to as the spiny shell however the nickname has become so popular that the Koopa General in the Mario movie refers to his own signature ability as the blue shell Bowser has a brother in Super Mario Bros the Lost Levels the manual actually refers to this version of Bowser as Bowser's brother which explains the new cyan color scheme the NES game Wrecking Crew actually got a sequel in Japan called Wrecking Crew 98 for the super famicom this game even has for Spike team up with Bowser to defeat Mario the artist who created the design for Foreman Spike also created the design for Wario and honestly the two characters do look somewhat similar in Mario Golf toad stool tour hitting the ball into one of the flower beds in Peach's castle grounds can cause Pikmin to jump out of the flowers during development new Super Mario Bros Wii was going to have an item that gave you a chicken suit but the idea was scrapped Mario and Sonic were the only athletes to attend the Tokyo Olympics in 2020 While most people know that Bowser Jr's mother isn't Princess Peach it turns out that his actual mother is mamota at least when asked if he knew who Bowser Junior's mother was he nodded and Ambiguously pointed to himself in Mario Superstar baseball the teammates you choose alongside your captain will actually influence the team name for instance if you pick Mario and your team consists of Luigi Monty mole Noki and a pi your team will actually be called the Mario sunshines which doesn't make a lot of sense since Luigi wasn't in Mario Sunshine Mario Superstar baseball also has a dictionary that will explain baseball terminology to the player however this feature was removed outside of Japan the Koopa Brothers from Paper Mario are obviously a spoof of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles interestingly enough though the concept for these ninja Koopas date all the way back to the Super Mario manga which released 9 years before Paper Mario Luigi has cost Nintendo millions of dollars not only did Nintendo lose $457 million during the Year of Luigi after the launch of the Wii U but the GameCube is Nintendo's second worst selling console and it launched with Luigi's Mansion so I'm starting to think that this isn't a coincidence in Luigi's Mansion talking to King Buu before you can enter the game's final boss fight will cause him to say I will not give up my favorite decoration I like Mario Just where he is which is a reference to St Star Wars Return of the Jedi in which Jabba the Hut says nearly the exact same thing when referring to Han Solo and Carbonite Mario is a veteran in the 1983 Game and Watch Game Mario's bombs away Mario plays the role of a soldier due to the game theme and design of the soldiers outfits many fans believe this game takes place during the Vietnam war Mario's last name is Mario at least according to the 1993 Super Mario Bros film The theme played during mariio Luigi's plumber service commercial in the Super Mario Bros movie was actually the opening to the Super Mario Bros Super Show the Super Mario Bros Super Show has a cameo from Inspector Gadget a live-action version of the character was a part of one of the opening segments in the series this isn't as random as it may seem however as both inspectre Gadget and the Super Mario Bros Super Show were produced by deak entertainment Princess Peach Showtime is actually not the first game to Star Princess Peach in 2005 Nintendo released a spin-off game for the DS titled super Prince Princess Peach which is a take on the original Super Mario Bros story having you rescue the Mario Bros as Peach instead of the other way around the Developers for Sega Allstar Racing originally considered making a game crossover including Mario characters similar to Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games in Mario Hoops 3on three several of the characters have nicknames referred to as baller names for instance Mario is called the Jumpman however my personal favorite of these names is Donkey Kongs who's referred to as the donkey monkey while Mario Hoops was developed by Square Enix it contains several unlockable crossover characters from Final Fantasy such as Black Mage Mario Sports Mix continued this trend and even added the slimes from Dragon Quest Square Enix went on to release another title for the week called Fortune Street which was just a crossover between the Super Mario series and Dragon Quest this game essentially just plays like a crappy version of Mario Party Fortune Street wasn't actually the first game Square Enix made in the Series in 2007 they released itadaki Street DS which was essentially the same concept however the game never released outside of Japan Mario vers Donkey Kong had five additional levels known as Mario vers Donkey Kong e these levels could only be unlocked through e-reader cards and these cards were only made available to 1,000 people who participated in a competition in Japan in Paper Mario the Thousand-Year Door there's a noose in the middle of rogueport that is there for public executions and yeah that seems way too out of place for a Mario game well many fans know that Mario is the villain and Donkey Kong Jr where you actually have to free a cage Donkey Kong Mario is far more cruel in the DK game on the gaming watch called Donkey Kong circus where Mario essentially tortures the poor a as he is forced to perform ridiculous dangerous stunts Nintendo's original products were hanafuda cards but there's actually a set of Mario themed hanafuda cards that were made as a club Nintendo r award the game Tetris attack for the Super Nintendo is themed around Yoshi's Island despite having really nothing to do with Yoshi at all likely to make the game more appealing to a larger audience ironically the game has nothing to do with Tetris either as instead it's an entirely different game known as panel Deon in Japan the tetris branding was simply used for name recognition however the series is now called puzzle leap during the credits for Dance Dance Revolution Mario Mix Mario and Luigi will Dance by swinging their arms from side to side and taking a step which is a reference to the Super Mario Bros Super Show where this dance was referred to as the Mario before Dance Dance Revolution Mario mix Nintendo licensed a Mario themed dancing arcade known as Mario unake Mario Striker charged is the first Mario game to not have an e rating as it's actually E10 plus Super Mario Odyssey is the first and only Mainline Mario game to not have an e rating also being being rated E10 plus I am a teacher Super Mario sweater was a game for the Nintendo famicom released in 1986 where you input measurements and create actual designs for sweaters the game was created by Royal Industries a company known for its sewing machines before Pokemon game Freak actually developed their own Mario game that being Yoshi for both the NES and Game Boy they also developed a second Mario game a puzzle platformer called Mario and Wario however this game never released outside of Japan did you know there is a Mario bowling game well not really Mario Bowl was the name of a Japanese software that was themed around Super Mario World all it did was keep track of your score during bowling games and feature various animations depending on what you bow just like the software you'd expect to see at any bowling alley Mario and Luigi Bowser's Inside Story contains a fountain featuring a statue of Princess Peach however there's actually an unused texture for this Fountain where the statue of peach portr betrays her as a mermaid several times in the Super Mario Bros Super Show toad takes off his mushroom cap revealing that he's bald decades later the director of Super Mario Odyssey went on to say that the mushroom cap was intended to simply be a part of his head essentially debunking the cartoon in 2004 Nintendo released Mario pinball land for the game playy Advanced a pinball game which starred Mario in the form of a ball but technically this wasn't the first Mario pinball game in 1992 Nintendo licensed a Super Mario BR pinball machine which had 4,200 copies manufactured this pinball game actually used audio clips from Charles Martin making this technically the first game to feature Charles Martin's Mario voice well most of the music from Puzzles and Dragons Super Mario Edition was borrowed from the new Super Mario Bros series the song that plays on the world 2 map is a remix of the theme slimy Spring Galaxy from Super Mario Galaxy 2 densu No stafi 3 was the third installment of the legend and starf series that never released outside Japan the eighth stage in this game actually features Wario for several of its levels and he will help Starfy by taking on some of his various Transformations and he'll even give you a treasure at the end of each level including a Wario cap in Wario World Wario will taunt the player on the game's pause screen by saying na n n however if you sit on this pause screen for 50 minutes Wario will stop making the taunting noise and say sorry instead well Daisy and Luigi are often portrayed as love interests in the Mario series they've also poked fun at the idea of Daisy and Waluigi being in a couple in Mario Party 6 pairing the two together will give you the team name awkward date the prefixes in wari and waluigi's names originate from the Japanese word wari meaning bad and in Mario Tennis Aces Wario and Waluigi become possessed and turn evil so does this make the characters W Wario and W Waluigi nintendog which was produced by Shiro mamoto contains several references to Mario including wearable Mario and Luigi hats and a music box that plays the original Super Mario Bros theme the model for the Sheba enu from Super Mario Odyssey was actually taken from nintendog Super Mario Maker was released on September 11th 2015 one of Nintendo's Representatives Julie Gagnon ended up releasing a public statement to address concerned fans who found the date peculiar since it's often associated with an American Tragedy she essentially stated that the release date was chosen because Mario Maker was celebrating the 30th anniversary of Super Mario Bros which released on September 13th in 1985 and the chosen date was just the closest Friday to that date Mario Kart Wii was the first Mario game to introduce bikes excite bike bun bun Mario battle was a Mario themed reskin of the original excite bike NES title which featured several different playable Mario characters the game was exclusive to The satella View for the super famicom there was a cancelled sequel to Super Mario World Super Mario's Wacky World was a game developed by Nova Logic for the Philip CDI the developers created the game with the intent of Nintendo hiring them and while Nintendo was impressed by the Prototype they ultimately had the project canel due to the cdi's port performance in 2017 Nintendo partnered with Kelloggs to create the Super Mario Cal which included its own amiibo called the delicious amiibo that was built into the Cal box it was only compatible with Super Mario Odyssey and when scanned it would reveal a power Moon just like any other generic amiibo in 2018 Nintendo and Kellogg's re-released the seral with different packaging however it sadly no longer came with the amiibo card Yoshi Topsy turby was called Yoshi's universal gravitation in non-american regions Super Mario Wonder marks the first Mario game to replace Charles Martin as the voice of Mario the last Mario game to include new voice lines from Charles martinet was Mario plus rabid Sparks of Hope however Charles Martin has continued to be featured in Mario titles through archival voice lines such as the upcoming Paper Mario the Thousand-Year or remake thanks for watching the video If you enjoyed it go check out this video right here it's a Nintendo
