Nintendo Gives Mario His Plumbing Job Back

Mario is one of the most iconic video game characters of all time and is the star of countless best-selling games, but the poor fellow has been going through a bit of an identity crisis. Back in September, Nintendo updated the height-impaired hero’s profile page, revealing that he worked as a plumber “a long time ago,” but didn’t list his current profession. His role as Princess Peach’s bodyguard should probably provide him with a per diem wage, at the very least. The updated profile page for Mario on Nintendo’s Japanese website doesn’t dance around the subject, saying his “occupation is a plumber.”
