I believe many have already seen this. Here is a short documentary of Shigeru Miyamoto’s work, showing how he got the inspiration in creating The Legend of Zelda. Who would have ever thought that the Junkman in a 1981’s Donkey Kong arcade game turned out to be the world famous Super Mario! And guess what? Miyamoto actually composed the tracks (he plays the guitar) for some of the earlier games. He’s a genius!!

Mario’s original name was not “Junkman” as the author of this short article would have you believe. It was actually JUMPMAN, as clearly stated in the video. It makes sense too…Mario’s main function in the original Donkey Kong is to jump.
Shame on whoever thought his name was Junkman, what a stupid name. But then again, Jumpman isn’t so good either. Aren’t you glad he finally became Mario of the Super Mario Brothers?
