0:00:09.720 --> 0:00:15.870
<v Speaker 3>Alright guys, I actually didn't know this, but Mario, of

0:00:16.110 --> 0:00:21.250
<v Speaker 3>Super Mario fame, was named after Nintendo's landlord. Whoa!

0:00:21.270 --> 0:00:24.230
<v Speaker 2>That's who Mario is. The character was originally called Jumpman

0:00:24.370 --> 0:00:30.210
<v Speaker 2>in Donkey Kong. Nintendo says he was renamed after Mario Segal.

0:00:30.230 --> 0:00:32.550
<v Speaker 2>I think that's how you say his name. The landlord

0:00:32.610 --> 0:00:37.150
<v Speaker 2>connected to Nintendo of America's early facilities because employees thought

0:00:37.190 --> 0:00:41.529
<v Speaker 2>the character resembled him. So he was Jumpman in Donkey Kong,

0:00:41.570 --> 0:00:43.699
<v Speaker 2>and then he decided to, like, print it, you know,

0:00:43.729 --> 0:00:46.720
<v Speaker 2>and change his name to the artist formerly known as.

0:00:47.520 --> 0:00:51.409
<v Speaker 2>But he was named after the landlord. of nintendo mario

0:00:51.570 --> 0:00:53.650
<v Speaker 2>so there's a dude out there i guess it's got

0:00:53.690 --> 0:00:57.120
<v Speaker 2>a mustachio and he's kind of round yeah right and

0:00:57.130 --> 0:00:59.320
<v Speaker 2>he talks like that apparently and he's walking around these

0:00:59.380 --> 0:01:02.660
<v Speaker 2>streets and you could meet him he's more fred show
