Canonically 24 years old

>canonically 24 years old
>essentially has the personality of a hyperactive toddler

Why though

Italian.

You'd act excited too if you saw all the strange, fantastic environments he's visiting.

how does he have a toddler personality?

>canonically

>Canonically
bitch where?

So Nintendo'a core audience can self insert more easily.

There is that what you wanted OP?

>try to jump over platform
>mario just sits there and shits his pants
Mario galaxy sucked

This

Much like your average Nintendo fan

Have you seen all the mushrooms he eats?!

WAHOO

>“I think it was fortuitous that we didn’t put any restrictions on Mario as a character," said Mr Miyamoto said in a Japanese interview in 2005. “Normally when you create a character and present him to the world, all the details get filed in: what’s his favourite colour? what kind of food does he like to eat?”

>But just the one detail was decided about Mario, he said. “Aside from the fact that he’s about 24-25 years old, we didn’t define anything else”.

>tmw I'm the same age as Mario.

I always thought Bob Hoskins was an accurate portrayal.

That dude is 40 at least

>Be same age as Mario
>Still can't grow a mustache without it looking like I just hit puberty

Mario's energy is also fantastic. I strive to be like him.

...

Damn I'm the same age as Mario in two days.

He smacks his head against bricks all day, he's obviously a little brain-damaged. Luigi is clearly traumatized by early events and Wario/Waluigi are just regular humans trying to make the most out of their screwy world.

>He smacks his head against bricks all
>there are people out there who still think this

He does it with his hands

He punches the bricks.

I'm older than Mario. This is really....fucking weird.

Mario is canonically autistic so Nintendo's target audience can relate to him

Always thought he was between 35 and 40, he looks too old to be 24.

24 years old with a moustache and no other facial hair? Welp, Mario touches children.
