Man, is Popeye the Sailorman really that unknown these days? I'm a 90s kid and I still knew him growing up thanks to Cartoon Network's re-runs of his classic shorts. He did for spinach what Bugs Bunny did for carrots, and even what Mario did for mushrooms. And he's got one of the most iconic theme songs. I wouldn't be surprised if Mario's mushroom power-up gimmick came from Popeye's power boost from eating his cans of spinach. Anyway, I'm sure grateful for his contributions to Mario's creation.

[@tommyanomaly6193]

Miyamoto originally called Mario Ossan, Japanese for "middle aged guy", it was the American localizers that came up with Jump Man.

[@beauwalker9820]

Another unused prototypical name Miyamoto considered was "Mr. Video." He also got the name Mario from the American Nintendo workers too, as they got the name from the landlord of Nintendo's first warehouse supposedly. So they used the name for the demo screens in Donkey Kong Junior.

Then who was in Wrecking Crew, the Punch-out referee, and such?
