Coleco had the rights to port Donkey Kong to a few consoles (not just the ColecoVision) in the early 80s. The Atari 2600 also had Mario Bros. along with the DK arcade games, but I don't think Coleco had anything to do with Mario. No idea about Channel F or Intellivision, it's probably just the site trying to cover its ass.
