It's ok. Against everything you might expect of me, I actually find the "Expand Dong" meme side-splitting hilarious.

Back to somewhere vaguely on topic:

Quote
Time and again, Bowser kidnaps Peach. Why do Mario and Peach still race go-karts and play tennis with him?

SM: If you're familiar with things like Popeye and some of the old comic characters, you would oftentimes see this cast of characters that takes on different roles depending on the comic or cartoon. They might be businessman in one [cartoon] or a pirate in another. Depending on the story that was being told, they would change roles. So, to a certain degree, I look at our characters in a similar way and feel that they can take on different roles in different games. It's more like they're one big family, or maybe a troupe of actors.
What's kind of interesting about that quote is that Donkey Kong was going to be a Popeye game. Was this planned all along?

The entire Mario franchise has just been a jilted Miyamoto trying to make his own Popeye.

All joking aside, he was hired to create replacements for the Popeye characters.

Now the real question is why they didn't go with a Popeye game. I've heard two reasons -

1) Supposed rights issues according to David Shef's Game Over book, but that seems a little odd considering they did make a Popeye game for real the following year.

2) Unable to properly render the Popeye characters given the technology they had available. This seems a little more likely given what was put into Mario's design to make up for the lack of versatility in the graphics display. It's also been noted that the actual Popeye game they made used a technique that devotes less detail to the backgrounds in order to make the characters' sprites look better.

Or maybe it was a combination of both?
