Here’s a wild bit of gaming lore: Super Mario, the face of Nintendo, was nearly called Jumpman! The name Mario only stuck after Nintendo’s US warehouse staff started calling him that, thanks to his uncanny resemblance to their landlord, Mario Segale. Imagine if our favorite plumber had kept his original name—would the franchise have exploded the same way? What’s in a name when it comes to gaming icons? #Games #VideoGames #SuperMario
