I passed the easy and medium tests, but got zero right answers for that hard one.
When was Mario a carpenter?

In Donkey Kong-hence the hammer and the setting being a construction site.

$6.75 the hard way-one quarter at a time.

He was.... later renamed Mario (definately by the time it hit home systems, because my Colecovision version's instruction booklet refered to him as such).

I have the old donkey Kong Story Album LP record. In that, Mario was a pizza maker, and Pauline was his pizza delivery girl. I just kinda accepted that as the official story since it was a licenced product.

I wonder where exactly he got the reference that mario was a carpenter, or was it just an educated guess.
