It should probably be worth noting that a new Iwata Asks series has appeared (http://us.wii.com/iwata_asks/nsmb/vol1_page1.jsp), interviewing Miyamoto about Mario history and the design of New Super Mario Brothers Wii (http://themushroomkingdom.net/games/nsmbwii).
There's some interesting information in this interview. I, for one, only hazily recall learning that Donkey Kong was originally going to be a game about Popeye. In addition, we've often thought that Alice in Wonderland was the inspiration for the Super Mushroom, no? Miyamoto reports "that isn't the case!"
