I told myself
I’d sort my reading pile, yet sloth iya was already off in a daydream, slurping
spicy ramen in a faraway Japanese stall. Isn’t life just better lying on the
floor reading manga instead of caring about tidying up when I never do? Nah,
I’m good.
Someday soon,
I’ll have my own little café with shelves loaded with mangas. Right now, I’m
enjoying the whole figuring-it-out stage. Guess that’s why my inner monologue
talks more than I do with actual humans. Anywho… small talk’s fine, it’s just
not my lane ’cause I mostly just listen.

Anyways,
reading all this Super Mario stuff made me think, maybe I should check out
Super Nintendo World in Japan and the Nintendo Museum… but for now, just on
YouTube, lol. If I make it as an interpreter or translator, that’s my treat.
I don’t really think of things in
terms of legacy or where I stand in the history of Nintendo or anything like
that. The important thing for us is to make sure that we’re having fun in our
job.

Mario had a humble beginning as a
side-story character for the hit game Donkey Kong.
Where Mario Got His Name…
While brain storming in their small office, they were thinking of game ideas
and names for this little guy. The office owner then came in and demanded that
he get rent money for the office space that they were using. Working on getting
a game out there and distributed, the landlord made a big scene while demanding
the late rent money. His name? Mario. The staff members then started joking and
calling the little Jump Man, Mario. He looked somewhat the same, had the same
overalls and the same appearance, so to this day, that’s how Mario is known.
