your link is about the behavior when Mario hits a brick whereas OP was talking about acceleration of Mario (I think he means running?!). Quite interesting link, nonetheless!

Yes, but we often don't feel what we think we're feeling! The patch changes Mario's speed when he hits a brick, which will have implications for when he hits the ground.
I'm far from an expert player, but I really think the physics are identical once the patch is in place. I sometimes wonder if it was really a mistake at the factory—something they didn't catch until 20,000 PCB's in, and didn't want to change in revisions for consistency.
