I imagined this as a modern buddhist story:

The student approaches their master lamenting the meaninglessness of everything.

The master, "Super Mario bros is pretty fun".

Enlightenment ensues.

And then two schools of Buddhism diverged, one favoring Super Mario Bros and the other Super Mario Bros 2

I hate both, but Super Mario 64 is great.

Life before enlightenment: Chop wood, carry water.

Life after enlightenment: Chop wood, carry water.

Without going into details that would spoil things, the TV series "The Good Place" touches on this idea, although it's Madden rather than Mario.
