In the meantime, I help organize and direct some 5K and 10K road races, and I think I'll try to pitch a Super Mario division to the sponsors, using a ht/wt ratio. I'll equal the awards and see if I can get a pipe wrench engraved or mounted on a plaque.
I thought about it for bike rides/races, but I've seen many, many riders of Mario's build pass me and disappear into the immediate future, so I know better.
At least that game is in the ATTIC.

are kinda ancient.
