In the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]], Bill Gates appears only in the February 20, 1996 broadcast of ''[[Shitamachi Ninjō Gekijō]]'',<ref>{{cite|author=Kiddo Cabbusses's Unpoplar Obscurities|date=January 30, 2019|url=www.youtube.com/watch?v=ND6G72LeG6c|title=kukun kun kut - Mario and Toad Use Windows 95? (Lilly Franky 2/20/1996)|publisher=YouTube|language=Japanese|accessdate=March 29, 2019}}</ref> where he is represented by a plush of the titular character of ''{{wp|Tensai Bakabon}}''. Bill Gates makes his entrance while [[Toad]] and [[Mario]] are disputing who will get to ride {{wp|Windows 95}} (which they believe to be a vehicle). Toad mistakes Gates for a "beer company poster girl" (a pun on the similarity between the Japanese writing for "Bill" and "Beer"), but Gates tells him that he is wrong. Mario recognizes the man as Bill Gates and both he and Toad ask him to give them money. Bill Gates blankly stares at them and explains that Windows 95 is not a vehicle, but "something you wear on your head." The pair dismiss him as an idiot and the skit ends. | |||
