Artwork used internally at DIC Entertainment during the production of the Super Mario World cartoon, replacing Marge Simpson with Mario. According to a former DIC employee, this was made due to an inside joke at the studio, though the exact nature of the joke has been lost.

Ever wondered why it's ABXY and not ABCD on SNES controllers? And I presume on any other controller too that inherited this design choice?

One young reader of Nintendo Power in 1993 wrote in to ask.

What a CAD...

I have a question for you. Why did you put the X and Y Buttons on the Super NES control pad instead of C and D or something else?
Kyle Milner Warren, TX

We went out and got the straight scoop, Kyle. According to Lance Barr, Product Designer for Nintendo of America, the letters X and Y on the Super NES Controller were used to correspond with terms commonly used in CAD design and engineering. On the Controller, the A and B Buttons are considered the "primary" buttons while X and Y can be considered "secondary" Buttons. This is the reason why the X and Y Buttons are a different color and are shaped differently. Even though the Buttons could have been labeled C and D or something else and the fact remains that CAD design and video games don't necessarily go hand-in- hand, the X and Y designation seemed the most fitting
