Who out there hasn't played a Mario game? It's quite tough to find someone who's never enjoyed one of the former plumber's many romps. When it comes to game devs, that number drops even more. Many a game dev has played through all sorts of Mario games, and has used them as inspiration in their own work.

In the series of interviews linked below, you can see what various indie devs had to say about the Mario franchise, and how it's impacted their work. There's comment from Alex Rushdy at 13AM Games, Mikael Forslind of Zoink Games, and Image and Form's Julius Guldbog. They all share their history with the Mario franchise, and give some insight into what it means to them.
