The exorbitant price that often accompanies first-party/highly recognized video games, named after Mario, the Nintendo character and mascot.
That reseller wanted $20 for Super Mario Bros/Duck Hunt just because it has Mario in it, damn that mario tax.
Everyone must succumb to the mario tax now, every collector must suffer.

Occurs when playing Mario Kart 64. Occurs when you gloat about having overtaken someone on multiplayer, and as you race away to the finish line to take the coveted title of "dude", you find yourself hit by a red shell and you quickly go from 1st to last.
Guy 1: HA! You guys suck! I'm about to hand out some PAINbow Road! WOOO....wait? RED SHELL?! NOOOO!!
Guy 2: That's Mario Karma for you.

(N.) A 4 foot, 200lb. Italian Plumber from Brookyn, NY who's been in about 30 video games. The plumber, who's said to be in his early 40's today, is the mascot of Nintendo, as well as their oldest employee (next to Donkey Kong Sr.)
Today, I was a tad disapointed when I played Super Mario sunshine.

Magic mushrooms
Mario ate mushrooms in the classic NES game to get larger, aka powerups
Used so the word "mushroom" doesn't have to be said. This of course conceals what is really being talked about.
"Hey, I heard you were looking for some of them Mario powerups"

This is the best two-player head-to-head competition game ever. It falls into the lovely category of "quick to learn, FOREVER to master", like so many of my favorites. The game styles can vary from beginner-level and slow-going, to an insane flurry of combos, each packed with classic sound effects.
The basic premise of this Tetris-style game is that a doctor with Mario's face is tossing random two-tone capsules, one at a time, into a huge bottle, and you have to make sure the bottle never fills up, by use of the physical truth that if four like-colored squares line up vertically or horizontally, they disappear into a drug oblivion. In addition, the bottle comes pre-packed with a number of similarly colored "viruses", and your end objective is to either A: eradicate all viruses from your bottle, or B: drop enough trash into your opponent's bottle that his bottle fills up and you win by default.
That's where the heart of the game comes in. To drop trash into your opponent's bottle, you have to make combos, that is, where two or more chains of 4 disappear into a drug oblivion, on the same move. With a lot of practice, 3x, 4x, and 5x combos becomes something of a second nature. This is the kind of game that will occupy your thoughts while you're driving, sitting through class, or on a boring date. You can probably get an NES and a copy of Dr. Mario for under $50 total, and trust me it's worth far more than any $50 multiplayer game you can buy for your trash 3D consoles.
