2. C (He made the game, didn't he?)
3. A (Damn Doki Doki Panic)
4. B (IDK, guessing on this one)
5. C (I know for a fact it wasn't B, so I gotta go with C)
6. A (Originally SMB2 in Japan)
7. C (Both, MTPO and T)
8. B (Just guessing)
9. A (I remember him saying this in an interview not to long ago)
10. A (C'mon - it's a heme, a Mario)
11. A ( Super Mario USA? Nah)
12. A
13. A ( Excluding SMB3 / SMB2, I believe ten)
14. B (I don't even play Game n Watch or really know what it is)
15. B ( IDK)
16. B (Chain Chomp, the posters)
