On Friday, American businessman Mario Seguel, named Super Mario, died at the age of 84.
Several sources have reported the death of a real estate specialist, Italian-born Mario Seguel, at the age of 84.
Nintendo was inspired by the name of Mario by the American businessman after he had a warehouse in the 1980s.
In previous interviews, Siegel said Nintendo's developer in the 1980s, Minoro Aracawa, had told him that he had chosen Mario as the main character of Super Mario, which had a great success around the world.
The original name of the Super Mario Game was "Gump Man" until Nintendo decided to release a name for the famous game.
"I still wait for intellectual property royalties," Mario commented in the 1993 Seattle Times.
