| 1/14-19,21-26/1991 - A two-week storyline where Jason gets upset that his friend Marcus has beaten Super Mario Bros. first.

| |
| | |
| 9/??/91 - Jason begs Andy to buy him a Super Nintendo, one of his reasons being "it's got [[Super Mario World|the latest Mario cartridge]]", and if she doesn't buy it, "I'll be stuck playing dumb ol' ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3|Mario 3]]'' forever!"
| |
| | |
| 7/??/92 - Andy unplugs Jason's NES while he's playing ''[[Mario Bros. (game)|Mario Bros.]]'' in order to make him come to dinner. This leads to Jason becoming so furious that he kicks his NES and destroys it.
