But according to the Mario history leaflet;
a) They originally mapped "jump" to the up arrow and "attack" to the A button. If they had stuck to that, the gaming world would be SO different nowadays it's incredible, since most games have the A button for jumping because of that game.
b) Goombas were the last thing inserted in the game because the testers though the Koopas were too hard for a first enemy. That's why their sprites look so weird, they barely had any bits left so they made a sprite and mirrored it to make it look like it was walking. Once again, imagine how would the Mario world have been without Goombas.
