I don't think that video made a decent case. It's a hell of a lot of speculation that sounds credible thanks to good editing and the gift of hindsight. The truth is that when you bought Super Mario Bros, you read the manual from cover to cover before you started the game, and you looked at the box art and the stuff on the back of the box. It'd tell you everything; the enemies, some description or backstory for them... the manual was an important part of the package. And that was how pretty much every game worked for a good 30 years since.
