Fortran is a ripoff Mario sprite from the Taiwanese Famicom bootleg gambling game, Dian Shi Ma Li, known for its infamous "PUSH START TO RICH" quote. The sprite would later be used and recolored for the infamous 7 Grand Dad bootleg. Fortran will "talk" (in ALL CAPS) as though he is a bootleg Famicom gambling game, since he doesn't speak himself ingame and all the text comes from Dian Shi Ma Li.
