:::There's a reason I rewrote the section on the Urban Legend page once I learned of the marquee card. The purpose of the section now is to explain how the name "Mario" was used and seemingly-preferred before the release of DKJr. or MB. People not taking into account the obscene amount of ports presumably caused a lot of confusion regarding the order of how things were named. I still need to resort the sprites in Mario, Luigi, Pauline, and Junior's galleries, but all but the first of those should be much easier.

In ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', Mario has this helpful little nugget as one of his tips: | |||
<big>Mario's Name</big> | |||
<br>When Mario first appeared in the arcade version of Donkey Kong, <br>he was known as Jumpman. The kidnapped woman was called <br>"Lady," but she was later given the name Pauline. | |||
If you select the language as Japanese, the text becomes... | |||
<big>マリオの<span class="explain" title="なまえ">名前</span>は......</big> | |||
<br>アーケード<span class="explain" title="ばん">版</span>『ドンキーコング』で<span class="explain" title="はつとうじょう">初登場</span>のマリオは、「ジャンプマン」と<span class="explain" title="よ">呼</span>ばれていた。<br><span class="explain" title="とうしょ">当初</span>、さらわれた<span class="explain" title="じょせい">女性</span>の<span class="explain" title="なまえ">名前</span>は「レディ」だったか、<span class="explain" title="のち">後</span>に「ポリーン」と<span class="explain" title="なづ">名付</span>けられた。 | |||
...which means the same thing. Nintendo of America may have indeed been adding more references to "Jumpman" in localizations, but this at least proves that Nintendo of Japan ''also'' considers Jumpman to be the main character's name in the arcade version of ''Donkey Kong'', meaning that it is not an open-and-shut case.

A sprite of a [[rivet]], preferably from the arcade version should be uploaded and added to the items section.--[[User:Platform|Platform]] ([[User talk:Platform|talk]]) 07:13, 19 November 2018 (EST) | A sprite of a [[rivet]], preferably from the arcade version should be uploaded and added to the items section.--[[User:Platform|Platform]] ([[User talk:Platform|talk]]) 07:13, 19 November 2018 (EST) | ||
