Really good tutorial. I'm saving it before Nintendo takes it down. It would be nice a version of this tutorial using friendly licensed game assets.

Nintendo generally doesn't care in the slightest if their assets are used for things like this. In the US and many other jurisdictions Nintendo might care about this is simply fair use. It's an educational resource without even a pretense of monetization, and has been up for years. I don't expect to ever receive a C&D for it.
Yah, I'd flip out the art assets with whatever you can find with an open license to avoid copyright issues. (for example: http://opengameart.org/ )

"Let's make a Mario clone" would bring in the same audience.
