Mario game typography color is worthy of analysis

Louie Mantia haș me all excited with his color analysis of Super Mario games:

Most Mario games with polygonal logos have a different color per letter, but the sequence of colors in Mario’s name is rarely the same sequence across games.

This captivated me—for some reason—and I set out to analyze every Mario video game logo to see if I could find a pattern for specific arrangements of colors and to determine the “most Mario” color scheme.

Don’t miss out on the beautiful execution of the table design, complete with a Super Mario font for the letters. This is the kind of nerdy the internet was made for!

P.S. Which reminds me, I should probably watch the Super Mario Bros. Movie. That’s on my list of a thousand lists.
