      Right, but it says “Mario”, and that was not the first game that featured the character.

        That’s literally the box art for Super Mario Bro. (1985)

        You playing concerned and ignorant doesn’t change what it is.

          The first appearance of “Mario” is in Donkey Kong (1981) where he is named “Jumpman”. The first game in which the character is named “Mario” is Mario Brothers (1983), an arcade game. Mario didn’t become a household name until Super Mario Bros. (1985) on the NES.
