Mario turns 35 today... Had great fun playing it in nineties.
Memories coming back for who all?

Oh don't start.
I just finished decades of therapy because of that song.
Not really but you get it.

Just last week I was playing Borderlands (the PS4 remaster) and got the "My brother is an Italian plumber" trophy by killing an enemy by jumping on its head.
Back in the days I played Super Mario 1, 2 and 3 on the NES and later Super Mario Land 2 on Gameboy.
Two years ago I bought the SNES Mini and played Super Mario RPG and Super Mario World.
Of course I've also played various Super Mario Kart games, but never owned any myself.
Both the Super Mario and Kart formulas have proven popular and have been copied countless of times.
I also loved the movie as a kid.
"Name? Mario. Last name? Mario. Okay, what's your name? Luigi. Luigi Luigi? No, Luigi Mario. Okay, how many Mario's are there between you? Just three, Mario Mario and Luigi Mario.  "
Super Mario's influence on gaming and popular culture cannot be overestimated.
Happy birthday, you awesome plumber!

I've always stayed away from the whole Nintendo thing. But then, the NES Mini came out a few years ago, followed by the SNES Mini...so I figured why not.
The whole thing must've kept me entertained for a solid 20 minutes.

Hmmm, that was during my second college try. My live-in girlfriend bought a NES that came with 'Duck Hunt' and 'Super Mario Bros'. I'd say it was partly to blame for declining grades that led to a 10 year stint on a production floor through the 90s. Good money, lot's and lot's of overtime, but a poor work/life balance and very little time to play games. (years of 12 hour shifts with every other Sunday off) I wouldn't play games again until I went back to school with a hand-me-down power mac that I must have rebuilt a few dozen times.
On the topic of Mario, I remember the character from playing Donkey Kong at the arcades during my high school years. Super Mario Bros was/is an awesome waste of time. Several years back I found a windows version that I have stashed somewhere...might not even run on 10. The only game I play these days are a Sudoku every day or so.

Suravi, even comes with batteries included.

Do you think I stand a chance? Or should I consider taking being programmable as my PhD dissertation?

If I were you, I'd wait until I became a professor:
- Invent a new language (or modify an existing one)
- call it after yourself
- Have your minions (aka the graduate students) write the VM for it
- Profit!

Or after your girlfriend.
This "Mary" language developed around 1980 at my university was named after the chief designer's girlfriend. "Hello world" was not yet an established meme then, so the equivalent program wrote to the console, "Mary has been executed"

I would say that the value of 'programming language' hit a really low point...
