Think about it.

Cave Story - (Mario)

Save your girlfriend CurlyI? (Save your girlfriend Princess Peach)

Platformer? (platformer)

DIfferent areas? (Different worlds)

After contemplating this for a while, I came to the conclusion that Mario is Cave Story. But that is just my personal opinion.

A lot of games are like that. The goal of saving someone is such a common theme it's not even funny. It's not just Mario.

And it has different worlds? Most games do. What fun would be in a game with no different areas? And are all those games with different areas Mario? Uh, no.

Long story short, your theory is pretty silly. Sorry. :I

Hehe, there are a few similarities, but, no. They're barely similar enough to trick a mom into maybe thinking Cave Story is a Mario game,
but anything more than a few seconds of observation will start to reveal it's quite different. The reason I used a mom as an analogy and a few seconds of observation is because once when I was playing Cave Story and my mom walked by she said, "So is that... Mario?".

Braid is also a lot like Mario. He's just in a business suit and dyed his hair orange.

(Yes I'll never stop linking this.)

Cave Story = Fallout 3???

Guns
Blades

Your goal is to save a futuristic yet dystopian land from evil

they are pretty much the same game

Nah. I think the similarities to Metroid (exploration, getting tools to reach new areas) are much stronger. Even the life capsule acquiring sound effect is eerily reminiscent, IMHO.

Modern Warfare 3 is like Mario

MW3 - Mario
Save your country? (Save your girlfriend Princess Peach)
A bit of platforming? (platformer)
DIfferent areas? (Different worlds)
After contemplating this for a while, I came to the conclusion that MW3 is Mario. But that is just my personal opinion.

(Btw I never played MW3)

Dude stop making fun of him, he's right, and I have PROOF.

They both have red hats motherfuckers, AND both games have Mushrooms of some sort in them.
So back off dudes.

Also if CS weren't Mario then how come you can shoot fireballs? You can't explain that.

By that logic, Amnesia and Penumbra are the same.

Scary
Puzzles
Strange otherworldly presence surrounding artifacts

So you're telling me that Amnesia and Penumbra are the same game? Nice try, guy, quit while you're ahead.

Both excellent classics? Yup.
Mushrooms with eyes? Yup.
Stuff dealing damage on contact? Yup.
Great amount of creativity? Yup.
Fireballs affected by gravity? Pretty obvious.
Blonde chick that you have to save? Yup.
Spikes? Yup.
Big grey rectangle thingies that fall on you? Yup.
Underground areas? Well DUH!

Really, the most noticeable difference is that Cave Story takes place in a much darker universe and has a much more depressing story to it.

But does Mario acquire a Missile Launcher? A Machine Gun? A high energy Lazor of Death? Nope
Does Mario have to save the planet from a megalomaniac? Nope.
Does Mario have a jetpack? Nope.
Is Mario a robot? We will never know...
