Facts on Tap: Nintendo originally aimed to make a Popeye video game but couldn’t secure the rights! Game designer Shigeru Miyamoto adapted the concept, creating an all-new lineup of characters. Bluto was reimagined as Donkey Kong, and Popeye became "Jumpman," the hero who would later evolve into Mario. This creative pivot not only saved the project but also launched two of gaming’s most iconic characters. Discover the fascinating origins behind Donkey Kong and the birth of Mario!
