Editor notes (3)

NO, It was created by Nintendo, who authorized Coleco to make reproductions under its license, in an entire legal framework that is absolutely registered, which is why Coleco always presented its version of Donkey Kong, under the Nintendo license.

It can be argued who manufactured the catridge, or ported the programming from one system to another, but in terms of creation and development, it is purely Nintendo's.

"The difference is that manufacturing is more repetitive steps to have some product over and over again. Software Development is more about creating things almost new, each product is different for each custome"

The little man that you control in-game was originally named Jumpman and was latter renamed to the Mario that you know today. Mario was also a carpenter and latter changed jobs to a plummer.
