The song is really catchy, I must admit. I found myself playing it on the piano by ear.

My school used to play it on videos too. I was the dude who gave the school announcements but there would always be an intro video. Sometimes it would be highlights from a football game, basketball game, or even the marching band. Sometimes it was student or teacher spotlight (I usually did this stuff). And now and then it would be some tech savvy video done by one of the computer type people. There was one that had the Mario song as well as a few clips from one of the games in the background. The video was done really nicely and the entire school wound up getting the song stuck in their head.

Later we found out a guy named Mr. Bungle recorded a jazz remix of it. This got played in the background of the announcements a few times. I think everyone in the school capable of playing a piano could have pounded out at least the opening to it by the end of the year. One of my best buddies is a huge Mr. Bungle fan--I didn't even know who he was untli last January!

Did not know those shirts were that popular. But then again, I have never been to a Hot Topic. I pretty much only have one clothing store I frequent a lot (judging by my online name you should be able to figure out where I like to shop).

One of the most popular people at my school once watched an online video that contained someone playing the Mario theme on piano. I asked if it was someone wearing clothing similar to Mario's (Lizard Dude) but he didn't know. Now, he regularly hums the theme during History. Weird.

It was probably the Video Game Pianist.

That's fine.  Thanks.  I won it on eBay anyway.  I think I only need Pokemon Emerald and Nintendogs Best Friends now, but won't know for sure until all the games from eBay arrive and I can verify that they have unused codes.

You know you're obsessed w/ Nintendo when...

You try to play Nintendo game music by ear
You want to learn sword fighting with your left hand
You yell "I saved the Princess!!" every day.
You refer to turtles as Koopas.
When victorious, you shout out a Mario phrase
You annoy people by shouting 'HEY!' and 'LISTEN!'


You know you OWN when...

You can jump really high without the use of a trampoline, and attract princesses
You have three triangles marked on the back of your hand
You've mastered all four elements (Water, Earth, Fire, and Air)
You're a dragon
You're James Bond
You're Shigeru Miyamoto
You make an apearance in a "The Ultimate Showdown" music video
You're a playable character in a Super Smash Bros. game.
You have being Fawful

^Um... LD, I can't see the image.^

Anyway, you know you're obsessed with Nintendo when...

-You stole a wii, it's sensor bar, a wii-mote and some games from E3 to play at home.
-You practice your jumps everyday in hopes you may one day be able to jump as high as Mario
-You create a fully functional, scale F-Zero racer.
-You are arrested for carrying an arm cannon. In your defense, you say you wanted to be like your hero, Samus.
In Soviet Russia, Pokemon chooses you!

I saw a guy at a fast food place with a Mario tattoo on his arm. I think that counts as obsessed.

Well, as long as it wasn't a temporary tatoo, I guess you could call that fairly obsessed.

Here's two more:
-At dinner, you say "Oh boy! I'm so hungry, I could eat an octarock!"
-You attemp to ride Rhinos, yelling " Ye haw! Forward, Rambi!"

It looked pretty permanent to me. He was an employee, too, so I doubt he would wear a temporary one (I don't think I've seen anyone wear those since middle school).

Perhaps, one reason I can think of is you know more about the history of Nintendo and important figures in the company then you do about your own family? :/
