Nintendo made Mario after they saw the success of Gears of War on the Neo Geo pocket and decided to copy that game exactly. After a few years of development and numerous changes, they wanted to make the protagonist an Italian plumber; hoping that it would appeal to younger hip crowd.

The idea of Mario the character came about when a pizza slice was wedged in Shigeru Miyamotos toilet. in a recent interview with Fishermans Weekly, Hideo Kojima said he saw his sink blocked by pasta and say "it was an Italian related problem so I'll call a plumber to this shi-, nigga". This is also why Street Fighter 2 Turbo has such a close resemblance to the Guitar Hero series because of Cliff Bleszinskis influence on each game. It has that level of finesse. He also owns a dinosaur named Muffins.
