We all know and love the video game character Mario since we were children. He has been part of us ever since and we helped him anyway we can to save her precious princess Peach from the evil Bowser. His image, as this lovable Italian plumber with a neat-looking mustache, became so iconic that is now been ingrained in our memories.

Now according to Nintendo’s official website, it is now canon that Mario is no longer a plumber. They said that: “All around sporty, whether it’s tennis or baseball, soccer or car racing, he [Mario] does everything cool. As a matter of fact, he also seems to have worked as a plumber a long time ago…”That, of course, implies that Mario occupation of being a plumber will be retired.

When Mario was first introduced in 1981, Nintendo designer Shigeru Miyamoto noted that Mario was originally a carpenter but became a plumber in 1983’s Mario Bros. This reputation was canonically represented in the infamously terrible Super Mario Bros. live-action movie from 1993.
