4''Dian Shi Ma Li'' (電視瑪琍, literally "Television [[InconsistentSpelling Mary]]"), commonly nicknamed ''Mario Lottery'', is a rather infamous bootleg for the Platform/NintendoEntertainmentSystem by a bootleg company called Bit Corp. The game is a gambling game which like many Platform/Atari2600 games, uses both controllers. The game is notable for creating Fortran, a bizarre bootlegged sprite of [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Super Mario]], which was reused by other bootleg creators and ended up creating [[VideoGame/TheFlintstonesTheRescueOfDinoAndHoppy Grand Dad]].

7!!PUSH START TO TROPE!
8* CaptainErsatz: Fortran is obviously one of Mario.
9* ForeignersWriteBackwards: The Chinese writing in the title screen is written right-to-left.
10* GratuitousEnglish: PUSH START TO RICH!
11* MetaphoricallyTrue: Despite the game saying "PUSH START TO RICH!", Fortran will only hit the block and make coins appear if you push A or B. However, pushing START while he's doing so will give a larger bonus.
12* NoPlotNoProblem: No plot in this game; it's just a gambling game [[DolledUpInstallment with a bootleg Mario in it]].
13* NoNameGiven: The Mario sprite. The name Fortran was found in the files, unused, and was applied to the sprite.
14* PublicDomainSoundtrack: A rendition of Ode To Joy plays after each turn.
