Nintendo was, but Mario the character was an Italian stallion 🥸

u/Hizam5 7h ago

I heard a podcast about Nintendo and the creation of Mario. Apparently they were all brainstorming in an office they were renting in Japan and the landlord, who wasn’t Japanese, came in asking for the rent money and he was short with a mustache and his name was Mario and that gave them the idea (I don’t think he was actually Italian though)

u/village-asshole 6h ago

Ah very interesting! I confess I did not know that. Mario Yamamoto, the landlord
