How is he supposed to plumb if he's saving the princess, travelling to new worlds, and engaging in every major sport known to man every day?

>>389298482
But the translation says he used to be a plumber.

>>389298482
sounds like a joke considering 3D world has him fixing a pipe at the start of the game.

Why does anyone care? Name one time him being a plumber was relevant to the games.

Then why does he wear overalls and travel through pipes?

>>389299092

Shiggy is a senile old man with delusions of still being important, that's why.

Why would he be a plumber if he never did anything relating to plumbing in the games to begin with?

When was the last time you plumbed anything?

>>389298482
Did he go back to carpentry?

>>389299839
The reasoning was that it made him a "relatable hero", having a blue-collar job.

>>389298482
Mario hasn't done any sort of plumbing for years, not to mention to some states, you need to renew the license, which I'm pretty sure he hasn't done.

>>389299078
In neary every game he travels through pipes.

>>389300375
Homeless people travels through pipes, they are most certainly not plumbers.

But how do you know that he isn't plumbing outside of the games?

Most of the time he's a plumber, but since plubming isn't a fun idea for a video game, the games just take place every second that he isn't plumbing.

Why does /v/ pretend to care about story in Mario?

Are you saying you could be retired from your job as a mechanic, but once you fix your car that means you're still a mechanic?

>>389301021
When he isn't saving the world, he's playing tennis, soccer, karting, drawing, time traveling and so forth. If he has done any sort of plumbing, we would have seen him done so already.

>>389298482
Do you actually give a shit?

In all Mario's years, I've seen him do plumbing ONCE.

>>389301262
i'm saying it's a joke and the pipe he fixed wasn't his own.

So what about Luigi? Is he still a plumber? Or just a ghostbuster?

explain this then

>>389301719
Probably

I mean where the hell is Luigi in Odyssey

Not like all those foreign currencies are worth shit in the Mushroom Kingdom, gotta keep the money flowing in.

I'm not really sure why Nintendo felt that they needed to clarify this entirely inconsequential factoid.

>>389298482
>Mario is no longer a plumber
>No longer a plumber
>No longer

Yeah you fucking console war baiting nigger, he changed jobs. Went from carpenter to plumber to princess jiggalo

only a plumber knows how to navigate through green pipes. end of a era

now that nintendo knows the only way to reach new customers is by dick riding apple is by removing that confusion so mario can be ANYTHING when they release every mario-genre game on the iphone

are they sure?

>>389301103
it has the deepest lore

>>389301954
They didn't "clarify" shit. It was just a line of flavor text in a character bio on a Japanese website. Unfortunately, autists and game """journalists""" decided to cling to it like it's a big deal.

>>389299996
Holy shit I haven't seen this in a long time.

>>389302328
Ah.

>>389301805
i'm sure he meant that even though they have plumber skills, they aren't active plumbers

>>389299078
Luigis Mansion 2 is the obly Mario game i know of whete you do real plumbing work

>>389301805
He's no longer a plumber. He used to be.

>>389301332
He wears overalls in virtually every game, and fixes a goddamn pipe at the start of 3D World.

>>389301805
An ex-plumber can still fix pipes, anon
It's not like you forget everything once you quit

I mean, hes also a carpenter, cement mixer, bomb deliverer, profession sports player, Olympic athlete, doctor, boxing referee, trained pilot, time traveler, archeologist, and a chef.

>>389298620
This, i only play cinematic, mature games like life is strange

>>389302569
Overalls looks great on him, that's why he wears them.

He used to be a plumber, so of course he can fix pipes. He's just not an active plumber anymore, he's too busy for that.

>>389302875
Why would he be fixing other people's pipes then?

https://youtu.be/iqcjpwAHsTQ
Most portrayal of Super Mario Bros

>>389302971
He's kind

>>389302971
Because he's a real stand up guy, fixing other people's pipes for free.

>>389301342
I'd say twice. Once in Superstar Star, and again in 3D World.

>>389301805

>>389298482
So if he's not a plumber anymore, then what is he now?

>>389303439
A superstar

>>389303439

3D World him and Luigi literally plumbed.
If Iwata was still alive this wouldn't happen.

Those aren't real jobs.

He makes money from it though. Mario Versus Donkey Kong shows Mini Marios, a in-universe Mario toys are extremely popular.

This. Also the "le Mario is from Brooklyn" meme.

What's wrong with it?
He USED to work as a plumber a long time ago when he was in Brooklyn.
Now he's not in Brooklyn, though.

>>389302546
Also Superstar Saga.

>>389305023
This book is actually pretty fucking interesting

>>389300375
>>389300375
Everyone in the mushroom kingdom travels though pipes.

>>389304865
Who says hes even from Brooklyn anymore?

Yoshis Island shows him getting dropped off in some random toad village at the end of the game, and Partners in Time seems to support that.

So when the fuck does he go to brooklyn? Does he even go to Brooklyn at all, or some place like New Donk City?

Of course he's not. Mario is an actor now.

>Mario 64 is a mockumentary

He's obviously dropped plumbing and gone into acting.

It is certainly an insight into the darker depths of man.

What about the game where he's a pornstar and looks like Ron Jeremy?

I love that game, I 'win' all the time ;)

You people are fucking morons.

>>389305425
SMB3 uses the stage setting as an aesthetic choice and doesn't mean the events depicted are all an act
SM64 was a hostage rescue mission
SMRPG, PM64, and Superstar Saga aren't plays, Superstar Saga in particular is a movie as shown in both the original and the remake, but the events in the "movie" are actual events that happen in-universe

"the main character is a plumber" is extremely deep and engaging lore by nintenbabby standards

>>389305425
>Mario RPG is a stage play
Is there any actual evidence for this besides the credits?

>>389305268
I always thought Mario and Luigi were sent to Brooklyn in an attempt to be given a normal life before finding their way back. Both of them as well as all of the humanoid Mushroom World people aren't humans like us. Even unfit humans in the Mushroom World can hold their breath for really fucking long, withstand huge falls, live after being crushed etc.

>>389304391
They forgot "Boxing Referee"

>>389305637
Miyamoto confirmed Mario 3 was a play.
Lakitu presents the information as a Mockumentry, pretending to be a reporter who reports on Mario's progress
SMRPG's title and credits show it's a stage. Paper Mario is the same.

How the hell could he be both a Ninja and a Samurai

>>389306401
>SMRPG is a stage.
No it doesn't. Watching the credits right now, and there is nothign that even close to suggests that. It's like saying that FF6 is a stage because at the end it shows the "[Player's Custom Name} as Terra"

>>389306401
Miyamoto nodded his head in a video over a vague ass question
>Lakitu was pretending to report
or just reporting

Why are people bothered by Mario being in his mid-20's?

Plumber was just something NoA made up.

Preparing for some good old SEGA style cultural shitflinging like SoJ vs SoA that will kill Nintendo.

Because he clearly looks at least 35.

Honestly this is a problem with Japanese media in general. Everyone is made to be much younger than they look. Ash Ketchum is 10, Brock is like 13, team rocket are probably in their late teens etc

He can't find a job as a plumber anymore because illegal mexicans are doing it for less than minimum wage. They have to go back.
