If you were looking for an incredibly deep dive on the color sequences used by Nintendo for Mario game logos, you will be delighted by Louie Mantia’s extremely ridiculous post determining “the most Mario colors”.

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.

If you were not looking for an incredibly deep dive on the color sequences used by Nintendo for Mario game logos, I’m sorry. Better luck tomorrow.
