I really enjoyed that, thanks for sharing! Who originally published that?

BTW - I have an original animation cell for that DK cereal commercial. Cool stuff.

Mario has A 27' vertical jump?

What game is he able to jump this high in? Best case in Mario Bros he can jump maybe twice his height. In DK he struggles to clear a barrel.

Granted, I can only name a handful of the 235 games he was apparently in.

He jumps high in Super Mario Bros...

He jumps high in Super Mario Bros...

Yes he does. I'd figure by looking he can jump atleast two of his heights. Assuming he's 6' tall, that means 18 feet. 27 feet? That's a bit of a stretch. They must be taking about Super Mario 64 when he was given a bit more height to his jump.

Now Luigi, that dude can jump high. Anyone remember Super Mario 2?

If you want to know absolutely everything about Nintendo's history (and read French, although it is rumored that these will be published in English as well), a French publisher is publishing a sequnce of nine volumes about Nintendo's history. Two are available so far.

I have these and they are awesome. Even if you don't read French, they are worth it just for the pictures.

I found it on this site. They seem to be the ones who did the research and published it as they have all kinds of random articles.

Nintendo still makes cards. I have a set of their Hanafuda cards.

For the 27' jump they may be refering to one of the N64 or later games where he can "double jump"
