Yeah, I know he’s been jumping down pipes for as long as I can remember but apparently Mario of ‘SUPER MARIO BROS’ fame in the Nintendo video games is no longer a plumber. You know, the job that we thought he had when he was not jumping on turtle shells, saving Princesses, or throwing banana peels at you from a go-kart. The Japanese website for Nintendo apparently just let it slip like it was not a big deal. Video game blog Kotaku got wind of it.

It was bittersweet weird fun to watch the 80’s Saturday Morning cartoon ‘Super Mario Bros Super Show’ for the live action version of the Brothers (DA BRUDHAS!)  walking around with a laugh track and dubbed in SFX dubbed into their plumbing office. So I guess Mario did not want to crank the pipes in the real world anymore, I mean when you eat a mushroom that makes you huge why would you keep doing that?
