I think it is good for any game designer to experience tent pole games to better understand what makes a game good and mechanisms behind that design. To me Mario is definitely one of those tent poles of gaming and especially is you make a plat former owe it to yourself to see the best the genre has to offer.
Of course I cannot imagine a gamer not being exposed to Mario. Growing up the Bros. Trilogy and World were kind of games seemed like everyone who gamed owned.
