When Saturday morning cartoons were good: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nKqFEV9rA1U

I assumed Mario was Italian but maybe he has some Iranian in him.

In 2005, Italy was the third largest trading partner of Iran with 7.5% of all exports to Iran. Italy was Iran's largest trading partner in the European Union in 2017

The relations between Iran and Italy have ancient origins. The relationship between the two countries goes back to when the Persian Empire and the Roman Empire were the two major powers in the world. The fall of the western Roman Empire and the end of the Sasanian dynasty affected their connection, however the relationship was able to resist for centuries. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iran%E2%80%93Italy_relations

After the unification of Italy in 1861, they signed a friendship agreement and a commercial treaty in 1873. And even if during the Second World War, the alliance was interrupted momentarily, it was picked up again at the end of the conflict. Moreover, part of the Iranian intellectual elite of the late nineteenth century, who were modernist and open to the western world, found refuge in Italy during the political turmoil of the twentieth century until the constitutional revolution of 1906 .

That's pretty interesting...

And as for the cartoon, I liked the opening, but I think I almost instantly didn't watch the show for one reason...I was a little too old for it.

I used to go completely out of my way as a kid to play Mario Bros. One of the smallest malls in my area for a long time had a little raised platform near the center of the mall with Joust and Mario Bros. That was it.

I was terrible at both games.

I'm sure you know the origin of Nintendo (gambling and playing cards), but I would like to point out in addition, and this is REALLY interesting...One of the oldest examples of the Latin alphabet (modern day English alphabet) being used is on an old vase. It's called the Duenos inscription.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duenos_inscription

When I looked at it, I was drawn to one string of letters...

NEITEDENDO

Now I don't know about you, but I've rarely seen -tendo or -dendo in words

Nintendo means "leave luck to heaven"

The vase with that inscription is made of three connected vases, with an inner reservoir to collect a mixture of whatever you put in the three vases, and it was used to make perfume.

You can see the translation, but basically whoever wrote it was asking the gods, "heaven", for luck with women. Or it could've been a merchant saying that his perfume would help other men get lucky with women (if you go by the full translation at the bottom of the wiki).

I was pretty floored finding this, honestly.
