A is the most consistent (green), but you can see how over time the M settled into being red and almost never deviates from that now. Great post!

This was fun. I'd like to see some analysis regarding where "Mario" appears in the title (either in terms of words or characters) and how that affects the color sequence. Glancing briefly at the list, it appears the M is more likely to be blue when it is preceded by "Super" (but not always).

I am a little disturbed by how many Mario games that is. Wow.

This was fun. People should do fun things more often :)

Always fun to have brand guidelines reverse-engineered. Great analysis!

The polygonal letters first appeared in Super Mario Bros. 3, on the title screen and Japanese box art, but they were monochromatically blue.
The color of the last letter for Odyssey would probably be pink :) There's a moon in Metro where you have to spell out Mario's name with the title letters, and the O is pink there. https://www.mariowiki.com/Letter_(Super_Mario_Odyssey)
