An observation I just made over at Rock Paper Shotgun:

There’s a strong indie tradition of Super Mario Bros remixes. Notch wrote Infinite Mario Bros which is now used for AI and procedural generation research by a number of academics, and Andrew Spinks (developer of Terraria) also wrote Super Mario Bros X.

On the other hand, maybe it just creates a weird fascination with bashing in blocks…
