Fun fact

What did Super Mario do for a living? In 2011, some players noticed that in the original Super Mario Bros manual, it stated that the infamous piranha plants didn’t live in pipes, but rather in flower pots! Mushrooms, flowers, plants, giant watering cans... was Mario really supposed to be a gardener? Nintendo itself blurred the lines further by officially announcing in 2017 that Mario “had been a plumber”. From archaeologist to doctor, pilot to plumber, soon there won’t be many jobs he hasn’t done. Mamma Mia!
