Nintendo‘s mascot doesn’t work with pipes anymore, it seems.
Nintendo‘s Japanese website has changed Mario‘s biography. Kotaku has translated it. A quote follows:
„All around sporty, whether it’s tennis or baseball, soccer or car racing, [Mario] does everything cool. As a matter of fact, he also seems to have worked as a plumber a long time ago…” Apparently, he doesn’t have a new job, judging by this quote. Weird.
Shigeru Miyamoto told USA Today seven years ago that when Mario first showed up in 1981, in Donkey Kong, he was „basically a carpenter,” but in 1983’s Mario Bros., they „decided he could be a plumber.”
Mario could easily be a playboy at this rate – he also worked as a golfer and a doctor, too (and the funny thing is that Miyamoto said he’s either 24 or 25 years old!).
