My son is named Mario. It is not overused in our area. I don't think there are any other Marios in his school. We usually call him Mar.

Each time I hear this name, it reminds of Super Mario bros. For a weird reason.

Hehe, couldn't name my kid Mario due to the fact that I grew up with Mario Bros. I think of Mario the Plumber and same goes for Luigi whever I hear this name. It's a classic name.

In Italy the golden era of Mario was the first half of the 20th century: it was the 2nd most popular name in Rome in 1901 behind Umberto, the most popular in 1906, 1911, 1916, 1921, 1926 and 1931, the 2nd most popular in 1936 behind Franco, the 3rd in 1941 behind Franco and Roberto, the 4th in 1946 behind Roberto, Franco and Giuseppe. In other parts of Italy it was usually less used than more traditional names like Giuseppe or Giovanni.
Though in other lands Mario is often regarded as one of the most typical Italian names, it was hardly ever used before the 20th century, and it has become rather old-fashioned today.

All I can think of is the Game Over music from the Mario games playing in my head.

Gosh, now I hear the Super Mario Brothers theme playing in my head. I don't really care for the name, as I really don't like the plumber himself. I can't picture the name on a real person at all. (though I think I've heard the name Mario Lopez mentioned before, I don't who he is).
