Yeah because a developer making an FPS could learn a lot from Mario .....

You are looking at it at the wrong angle, in his opinion, Mario is the equivalent of Beethoven (first musician that came to mind, could be any other), but that doesn't stop death metal bands or rappers for taking inspiration in his music and what it represents. 

Nope, analogy doesn't work at all.

Fact of the matter is it could be considered Mario is the bible for Platformers, nothing else.

And why it doesn't work? Musicians dedicate their lives to music, and they know what Beethoven represents to the media. Sure they don't use it as a direct inspiration, a rapper will use idk..Snoop Dog I guess, and a metal band will look at Led Zeppelin. But if you look at the profiles of most artists, you will see Beethoven, Mozart and the likes as inspirations.
