That was hyperbole. Not opinion. And a pretty dumb post to boot.
That was a joke.

Why would a lack of Mario cause the economy to go into a recession?
Remember that your first Goomba boldly you walk? When Mario touched that mushroom being brought up more largely remember that you are surprised? Miscalculate your jump that pit remember that it falls?

This brings up "It's a Wonderful Life" Dreams where we all own an 9-Year-Old System because that's either all that's been made or is good. Without Mario, 3/4 of the gaming community would be nonexistent.

There would be no Mario Kart, which spawned trillions of other "little kids'" racing games, meaning modern racing games would be relegated to more serious series like Gran Turismo.

Does this mean that the Cars game would suck straws? O_O;

The Cars game (brace yourself)... might not exist!

Or maybe it would, since Mario probably wouldn't dictate the creation of a movie which would've inevitably had a game based on it due to the way today's game industry works.

Simply put, without Mario, Nintendo wouldn't have made it very far. So don't think too hard on that.

I concur.  Nintendo probably would have gone out of business, changing the face of Video Games.  SEGA would probably have dominated, leaving Alex Kidd as the most popular character?  My point: All of the characters on the list probably wouldn't have existed if Mario wasn't invented.  Be glad, then go think about something more pleasant.

If Mario were never invented, turning a Blastoise sprite into Bowser would be impossible. :(

I voted OTHER.

If Mario hadn't been invented, Popeye would probably be the most recognizable figure.
Kinopio is the ultimate video game character! Who else can drive a kart, host parties, play tennis, give good advice and items, and is almost always happy??

A) There's no proof of that, unless you're being sarcastic, which is kinda hard to tell..
2) What's wrong with Cars?

Nothing. Cars was hilarious and fun to watch at the same time.
