Classically Mario is definitely a factor in my originally playing video games. Donkey Kong and Mario Bros were a couple of my favorite arcade games of all time (I still play a lot of Mario Bros) and later who didn't play Super Mario Bros?
Having said that, it's kind of like Mickey Mouse and Disney. Mickey might have been a portal to the wonderful world of Disney but there's a ton of great reasons to love Disney aside from Mickey. Same with Nintendo.
N64 and GC were systems my children played on. I never actually got into a Nintendo console until Wii and Mario have nothing to do with that but I still love Mario Kart Wii and NSMBWii all the same.
