The Evolution of Mario

An interesting look at the evolution of Mario.  Starts with a good “did you know that?”:

It’s a well known story that when creating Mario - originally called simply ‘jumpman’ - Shigeru Miyamoto made him look the way he does because of hardware limitations of the time. He was given a mustache to seperate his nose from his face, overalls so arm movements were visible, and a hat because hair was hard to draw.
