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.

I thought the guy in Donkey Kong was named Jumpman.

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.
