Long ago, during the classic era of console gaming in the eighties, came a title called Donkey Kong (1981), and I'm sure most of you will know what that is as the Donkey Kong series of games continues to this day. The aim of this game was for 'Jump Man' to rescue his girlfriend Pauline from the evil clutches of a large monkey named Donkey Kong.
At this time the little guy with the red overalls and the red cap was not a plumber, but a carpenter, a tradesman non-the less....
One of the more creative Nintendo workers later on realised that Jump Man was not too dissimilar to the owner of their offices, who was named Mario Segale - Mario Segale burst in demanding rent payments during a Nintendo meeting, and it was from that day they decided to rename "Jump Man" to "Mario".
