I wouldn't vote for Mario for Pres. of the US, but I would vote for him for Pres. of Nintendo's characters because he is strong and has more popularity than most any other character including on other systems. I would pick Toad as Vice-Pres. because he is smart and reserved. I think they would make a good team.
I would like to see Nintendo make a collection of all Mario games on the Game Cube including the nonplatforming game like Dr. Mario and even Mario is missing, that weird panasonic game, Mario Paint and Mario Teaches Typing. A mouse and keyboard for the GCN would be so cool. (they do have a keyboard, but it is hard to find and only for one game)
