His name is canonically Mario Mario. His brother is Luigi Mario.
What a wild fuckin movie
In that case, this is canonically a goomba:
And those Mario games with the little mushroom guys are just fanfiction.
But it all makes like a weird amount of sense. I mean Mario also isn’t made of weird pixelated legos, either. It’s like the writers were shown some stills from the game and told the basic story and then dropped acid.
I can see Yoshi being a raptor or even Dennis Hopper as Bowser since he’s supposedly an evolved dinosaur, but how do you go from an anthropomorphic mushroom with just a head and feet to a reptilian humanoid with a tiny head?
Oh easily! They got high and confused koopa and goomba I think.
We know that SMB3 was a play but we don’t know that the other games in the series weren’t. The 1993 movie might be the only truly canon entry in the franchise.
Somewhere there’s a reality where that’s true. I just hope it isn’t this one!
Are Wario and Waluigi Marios?
No, and they’re also not related to each other.
I’m convinced that they’re lovers.
That’s not canon.
Edit: Out of curiosity, if you’re downvoting me, are you downvoting because you disagree, or because the person meant it to be a joke? In the former case, it’s both common sense and also Miyamoto said as much. In the latter case, there’s no indication whatsoever that it’s a joke, so would I have been wrong to “miss the joke”?
Knee-jerk, tribalistic reaction is dumb.
Just fyi, I’m downvoting you solely because of the edit.
…Why?
Oh no, you used Nintendo property to make a meme, get ready to get sued
You think Nintendo has trademarked the name Mario? Wouldn’t surprise me if they tried.
Nintendo lawyers would sue us for the air we breathe if they could
Japanese name order is family first. So Itsumi is his family name
Also, strange to bring up name order at all when it has nothing to do with the joke they presented.
It makes me wonder if they badly retold a joke they heard where the original punchline was that his name was Mario Itsumi.
In Japan, Itsumi is actually a common name, either as a family name or as a girl’s given name.
It’s sue me, Mario
Stupid sexy Mario
