I love Mario so much; that character is marvelous and I love every Mario game.
There's this certain level of passion at Nintendo. It's just so beautiful. They love the games, they love the characters. The drive that moves the technology forward I think is born out of the absolute love for the games.
The voice is always in my head. In fact I aspire to be more like Mario. What could be better than rescuing and falling in love with a princess, right?

So naturally I go "Wahooooo" all the way up the stairs.
