If Mario is in his mid-twenties and Luigi is Mario’s twin brother that makes Luigi only 24/25 as well.
[dropcap size=small]H[/dropcap]e is Nintendo’s pride and joy, he’s one of the most recognizable characters in video game history and even though he looks like he is in his thirties the Italian plumber is only his mid-twenties. 2016 just can’t get any weirder, can it?
In an interview back in 2005 that Nintendo recently retweeted, Mario’s creator Shigeru Miyamoto claimed that Mario was “about 24-25 years old” and his reasonings for why we don’t know that many specifics about Mario are fairly sound.
“I think it was fortuitous that we didn’t put any restrictions on Mario as a character. Normally when you create a character and present him to the world, all the details get filed in: what’s his favorite color? what kind of food does he like to eat? But aside from the fact that he’s about 24-25 years old, we didn’t define anything else. When we make a game we take care not to add incongruence to that game’s world. With that caveat, I’d like to keep using Mario in future games.”
So there you have it, the Italian plumbers are not only 24/25 years old but they seem to be immortal and constantly saving Princess Peach from an egotistic, fire-breathing dinosaur.
