And somehow I don't see M$ offering to pay for your wedding if you hack Solitaire! That's really cool that PopCap have offered to pay part of the wedding.

No, I would imagine reprogramming Mario Bros would be much easier than attempting to tackle the millions of lines of code that goes into modern games.
Super Mario source code and a basic knowledge of C should be enough.
I could go and dig out my old Deitel & Deitel
C How to Program textbook
