Okay, I'm reading all of this now...
Just realized you guys were talking about Donkey Kong and not SMB. Oops!
So he almost used Popeye instead of Mario for Donkey Kong in 1981, and then went and made the Popeye arcade game in 1982, and then back to Mario for Mario Bros. in 1983... the plot thickens.
And quoting yourself is pretty cool.
