Talk about a fascinating bit of Mario mythology!

“As soon as Mario is killed onscreen, he immediately appears before St. Peter, who refuses him entry into Heaven and condemns him to Hell due to the number of Koopas he’s killed,” Bowser told reporters, confirming that Satan himself then casts Mario out of the inferno due to his virtuous commitment to rescuing Princess Peach. “At this point, Mario is forced to stalk the Earth, neither good nor evil, neither living nor dead.”

“Our vision from the very beginning was to make Mario a perpetual outcast, cursed to endlessly wander through purgatory,” he added.

Bowser went on to describe how the gameworld of the Super Mario series represents a constant state of limbo for Mario, who searches in vain for death to finally free him from his haunted existence. He went on to explain that although Mario’s return from the afterlife takes only a few seconds of game time for players, the iconic plumber experiences it as an eternity of torment. So cool!

Plus, it sounds like the company might be revealing even more about the game’s canon in coming months, with Bowser dropping hints that whenever the player pauses the game, Mario issues a silent scream of agony as his consciousness is trapped in a state of suspended animation.

Wow, Nintendo fans may never look at this classic character the same way again!

Mario is done being a plumber. Princess Peach is going to have to find a new plumber to call the next time her toilet gets clogged.

According to Nintento, the world’s famour plumber is now an “All around sporty”.

Whether it’s tennis or baseball, soccer or car racing, Mario does everything cool.

What we don’t know the reason behind Mario’s career change after 34 years of plumbib. We don’t if Mario was fired, retired or shut plain tired of being a plumber and needed something new. A source not to close to the VE said Mario is going through a mid-life crisis and will really miss his brother, Luigi, who has been rumoured to carry on the family plumbing business.
