I don't agree with the whole "too cool to be seen playing Mario" thing. The N64 hit when I was in the middle of my teenage coolness (for lack of a better descriptive) and me and all my friends thought Mario 64 was the coolest thing ever at the time! Even when we had house parties at our older friends house everyone gathered around and thought that Mario 64 was awesome and cool.
So, take what you will from it, I realize geekiness plays a factor and most of my friends the same age as I all thought Magic the card game and pen and paper RPGS where cool so....
But I'm not sure who would really see you playing a Mario game except for your friends, its not like you could walk down the school hall with a N64 or a Gamecube strapped to your face. Now wearing a mario t-shirt (which I do) that's another story but those didn't really exist back then, right?
