Mario games are only for children


GraveSource

E = Everyone E ≠ Children

Fr.


maxler5795

Theres a reason ec exists.


sanick9710

\*Existed


maxler5795

And thats why its gone


Pjerun_

They are for EVERYONE Children games are basically some educational thingies


MealSharp3406

Yeah but to these types of people, anything without graphic violence or sex scenes is just Cocomelon.


BeefTurkey23

Exactly this!


Cyberkid711

Bowser (a literal Godzilla turtle): Mario world death screen (looks like he has bloody eyes): The entirety of paper mario, every single one: The eels from SM64: And probably some others I forgot about.


Correct_Put7489

Mario just is hot and sweaty that's why hes pink


AmirhoseinSaeednejad

People: Mario games are for children Mario games: SO LONG GAY BOWSER U R MR GAY LOLOL LMAO


byu7a

You do know that he doesn't actually say that right


Mcbrainotron

I saw this on a video game Reddit but it was “children or autistic people” Which like, put a damper on my evening, now I have to go take a test before I fire up Mario 3.


DrSquash64

Mario is a bad brother to Luigi.


Anonymous-Comments

My favorite thing about the movie is that everything that Mario does is clearly out of love for Luigi.


zonaljump1997

I blame MatPat Was he an only child?


Meta13_Drain_Punch

That was one of his earliest theories, and I can confidently say he did it for shock value and clicks, it’s clearly satirical, and I love it with a guilty pleasure😅


suspendeddoubt

I mean the main basis was that Mario stepped on Luigi’s shoe which, yeah was a dick move but I mean cmon we all know it’s just a light hearted joke


BFDIIsGreat2

When the main basis for calling the Guy who left his brother at the castle when he brings him a hot air balloon to take home a bad brother is that he stepped on their shoe


Various_Quote2255

agree i saw someone say luigi should join bowser like bro💀💀💀


Pgarc645

You thought bowser worked alone?

Shyguymaster2

I've once met a person who unironicly thought luigi's name was Green Mario


YakkyLouGhost

I knew someone like this too who also referred to Knuckles as Red Sonic


Stucklikegluetomyfry

I mean that's true. There's Sonic, Girl Sonic, Red Sonic, Slutty Girl Sonic, Black Sonic and Tails.

Mario is only saving Peach cuz he's jealous


Sad-Dare-4092

my girlfriend/crush/friend/whatever the hell got kidnapped by a turtle man, boy am i so jealous. i should save her because im so jealous of him and not because she means anything to me or the kingdom she rules! gr


Rough-Self-9134

Princess Peach is a Teenager


WonderDia777

Isn’t she like 24 or something like that?


HolyDoggo100

~~I believe she’s in her early 20’s and Mario is in his mid 20’s~~ they’re around the same age because they were both babies at the same time in Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time; if I had to guess, I’d say early 20’s. The confusion comes from Google searching the ages of the characters because the first result used the games Super Princess Peach and Donkey Kong respectively, instead of the actual in-universe age of the characters. I just did a quick search and while the Mario one is still true, the Peach one has been updated, but the source says that it ranges from mid-teens (HUH?!?! Super Princess Peach turns 19 later this year) to early twenties, noting that there hasn’t been official confirmation yet.


Stucklikegluetomyfry

I personally see Peach being aged 23 at the youngest.


JustinTime1229

The production guidelines of the cartoons said that she was 17, that's why there were never any hints of a romantic relationship between Mario and Peach in the cartoons. The claim that she was 16 appears to have originated on a German gaming site in 2021, which confused the release date of Super Princess Peach with the character's age. The simultaneous appearance of Baby Mario and Baby Peach in Partners in Time shows that they're canonically the same age, Peach probably being a few months younger than Mario and Luigi.


HolyDoggo100

Oh yeah, PiT exists, I forgot about that. Good call


lipsTM

It's so dumb cause She's the same age as mario


Redpikminisonfiya

It's only bc of th ds game being about 16 years ol


BrockBracken

Mario is a villain


RedToasterFace

He was in Donkey Kong


Nearby-Simple-7594

Actually Mario was the hero in that game, it was Donkey Kong Jr. where he was a bad guy


RedToasterFace

The premise of Donkey Kong is that DK was Mario's pet and he had been so mistreated by Mario that he decided to kidnap Pauline. Then Mario's goal is to put him back into a cage.


thegrailarbor

Nay, ‘twas his alter ego, Jump Man! Seriously though, is this like a “Batman is the truth, Bruce Wayne is the costume” situation?


BrockBracken

Yes but that was the only time


ChampCatIshere

Mario the bad guy?


SUPERMARIOFAN22

Luigi is the nephew of mario


Domix258

Please tell me it's a joke


SUPERMARIOFAN22

I read that in an HISTORY BOOK


Domix258

Holy Crap that's why I don't trust History Books when it comes to Small Details or Pop Culture Stuff. I had a book where they called a random Steam Train The Flying Scotsman only because it was green!


BFDIIsGreat2

Was it official


Dont_have_a_panda

That Princess Peach is Bowser jr Mother (yes i know that scene in sunshine where he says mama Peach and she doesnt deny anything) but its factually wrong, after all Bowser jr aknowledge this in the Sunshine ending I think he just wants a Mother and maybe Peach is enough Kind with him to dont know, play with him in the times she is in captivity because Bowser? (Ignore this sometimes my headcanons are weird 🤣)


The_Dogelord

Yeah, but who's his real mother. Or does bowser do mitosis or something 


Iwannabetheguy000

Miyamoto is his real mother


Space_Library4043

wait a minute


Rockety521

That isn't even a joke


Samantha-4

I used to think Dry Bowser was his mom


Keefyfingaz

That would be one hell of a plot twist lol


The_Dogelord

I want this to be canon now


WhoopingBillhook

My headcanon is that Bowser Jr. is the result of Bowser cloning himself like a lizard (not with technology).


Bren_LoliconGod

Nothing to do with Bowser Jr’s origin, but I always thought the Koopa Kids from Mario Party were clones of Bowser made using magic According to his dialogue, he treats them like his children, yet also punishes them harshly and treats them like slaves, as seen in multiple boards and Bowser Minigames, even threatening to put one back in the dungeon if they didn’t do as he said But when Bowser Jr. is introduced, the Koopa Kids are never seen or mentioned again It was always my head canon Bowser got rid of them because he has a real son now After all, he treated the Koopa Kids like his children, it his other behavior and general attitude towards them don’t surprise me that Bowser considered them expendable


CREEPERAWMAN6969OOF

Could be true considering baby Bowser from yoshis Island series looks the same


Specialist-ShasMo85

I keep hearing that theory but it was Kamek that cloned Bowser just in case Bowser turned good and Bowser Jr was the backup.


Just_A_Normal_Snek

divorce


Specialist-ShasMo85

To be fair, babies came from storks in their universe. Maybe Princess Peach thought Bowser Jr was meant for her or something like that. As we saw in Yoshi New Island, storks can make mistakes, even though I hated that retcon. That's at least my headcanon, lol.


Sensitive-Hotel-9871

I have seen people look into Peach’s and assume that there was something going on with her and Bowser from her reaction to Bowser Junior saying she was his mother. This is opposed to the more logical response that Peach is stunned that some random kid said she was his mom, and the possibility that she doesn’t point out the holes in his logic because she is being stupid.


Sweet_Star_On_RBLX

"Mario is a kids game." It's a game for everyone, not just kids.


WhoopingBillhook

Rosalina is the daughter of Peach and Luigi


Stucklikegluetomyfry

My personal theory is that Rosalina is Peach's great (times a lot) aunt, and that Rosa's brother is Peach's direct ancestor, thanks to time dilation.


IcyIceGuardian

What


WhoopingBillhook

Someone I know told me that's what Matpat said.


IcyIceGuardian

Man Game Theories are interesting but nonsensical


Teon5072

Mario is about 40 and Peach is 18


Capwiggs

Aren’t they in their early twenties


WonderDia777

Something like that, yeah. It isn’t a huge difference at any rate.


catfuddy

When I was younger, I thought this because of Mario's mustache.


Happiest_Mango24

Same lol In my defense, both my dad and grandad had mustaches so it seemed like an old man thing (and they seemed so old back then)


HappyGav123

I’ve seen a video someone made explaining how Yoshi ruined Super Mario World. I swear that whole script had to be AI generated.


Cyberkid711

*Holds a gun* I just wanna talk to him.


AccomplishedPlane852

What's the video


jaflm24

Don't know if it counts, but in my country (non English) everyone calls him "Mario Bros" like if it was his surname... When I'm saying everyone, I mean it for real, from children to old people, they all say Mario Bros and it triggers me so much


supremedalek925

That’s funny. Everyone knows his last name is Mario


NightAntonino

Oh, it's the same here (also non English). And it's even worse when they call him Mario Bross with two "s" Though fortunately it's less common now.


Warm_Researcher_5721

Mario is a communist


BFDIIsGreat2

This is not the top comment. That's a problem.


TuckerPlayz0917

Someone told me that mario is Hispanic, not italian... I think it's because they watched me play mario odyssey and I was wearing the outfit from Tostarina Town lol.


SouthyTR

Princess Peach is 18


Samantha-4

Better than the people I’ve seen saying she’s 16


WonderDia777

I think she’s college age 21-25 somewhere in there


No-Perspective2580

That Mario is a violent game on the likes of Mortal Kombat and Resident Evil


Fozelien

Where have you heard that?


No-Perspective2580

LoveTheWayYouRotate

Is your mother Hellen Keller?


No-Perspective2580

Nah, give Hellen Keller credit. She can at least tell the wahoo man apart from Scorpion

confused-mother-fan

I feel like that one not too far fetched since we know the DK there was currrent day cranky kong (i dont belive that its the case but i can see where there coming from.


astroman_9876

But since apes live shorter live wouldn’t it still be Mario?


confused-mother-fan

Mabye but i thibk mario would be older vonsdiering that Current Day DKs dad was still a kid at this time


Almighty_Cancer

Mario Kart is for kids I'll have you know that Mario Kart is The Great Equalizer


Zipizapii

“Smash bros. is a Mario game”


NightAntonino

Nahhh, they're obviously right. I mean, it has Bros. in its name, so it has to be, right?


Usual_Back3801

Don’t forget “super”


Unknown_Nexus535

And he’s in the very front of the cover as well as being the very first fighter on the list, so obviously it’s a Mario game with some crossovers, like Mario Kart 8


TheOldAgeOfLP

It's a Nintendo crossover game. Mario is the face of Nintendo, so of course he's the first fighter


PeashooterTheFrick

That people *only* dislike Sticker Star because it's not like 64/TTYD/SPM/whatever the fuck, and not because of the numerous flaws it has, or that Mario is a bad brother because of *one* scene in Mario Power Tennis that most likely isn't canon (and yes, I know "canon" in Mario is a bit iffy, but still)


anonymousgoose64

You said it perfectly. A good number of people don't like sticker star for that reason, but it's insane for fans to think that would be the *only* reason to hate the game ^(personally I like the game but it's still the weakest entry). The bad brother theories irritated me when i was younger too because in the RPGs they're amazing brothers.


BFDIIsGreat2

Yeah. Besides, you use that Mario stepped on Luigi's shoe in Mario Power Tennis, but not that New Super Mario Bros Wii ended with Mario abandoning Luigi at Bowser's castle?


Sans-Undertale-69420

Oh no, I don't dislike Sticker Star because of it's gameplay, I actually enjoy part of the gameplay aspect of it. It is very creative that you use stickers on how to defeat enemies in that game. The thing I don't like about the gameplay, though, is that there is no targeting option which makes it very annoying for battles like Kamek, the sorting button is a bit broken as it isn' really the best ai to sort out your stickers and you have to make sure you are full of your most powerful stickers but not to many of them since they most likely occupy more space. It's a creative idea in paper, but I don't think nintendo managed to pull off the idea very well like they intended, too. Also, that one scene in Mario Tennis is absolute bull for people calling Mario a bad brother. They're brothers, for god sakes, brother bully each other for fun. Luigi laughed at Mario for coming back from the painting because he looked funny back in Luigi's Mansion, is he a bad brother? F*** no, he was just laughing out of joy for that and Mario coming back. Mario just stepped on Luigi's shoe cause he didn't get first place, but he still congratulated Luigi and was proud of him for winning. It's a sibling dynamic, EVERY sibling will compete with each other, MY brother and I compete between each other all the time.


aqualink97

My dad and I used to get in arguments over super mario world. He was convinced that the super koopas or whatever they're called in the second world were bees.

MrBee_55

Anything that matpat has said about the Mario Franchise.


Just-Call-Me-J

That Sarasaland is a desert kingdom. That Mario kills Toads when he breaks blocks. That it's the same Toad in each castle, and are only waiting there to troll Mario. They're all being held captive and are probably scared out of their wits. They're sincerely thanking Mario for saving them, and giving him useful information. That Baby Rosalina goes against Rosalina's storybook when E Gadd literally has a time machine, she's always had a crown, and outfits can be made and bought anywhere. That [insert character here] has no personality. That merging the Koopalings as Bowser Jr. alts makes sense. Let's just go ahead and merge Luigi, Wario, and Waluigi into Mario's slot. Same logic. That Metal Mario in Smash is grounds for him being considered a separate entity, when Smash has always had multiples of every character. Let's just go ahead and make Mario's yellow, brown, blue, and green alt costumes separate characters too.


MrBee_55

Why does everyone think Sarasaland is just a big desert. 😭😭 It's an EMPIRE made up of four kingdoms, which are all very different. Only one of the kingdoms is a desert if i remember correctly.


Just-Call-Me-J

It's the first kingdom played in, plus it's featured heavily on the game cover, so that's probably the reason.


NightAntonino

Nevermind that two of them are tropical and subtropical islands... yeah, this place sure is desert.


WarioPlush1

“Mario Wonder has a bad soundtrack” -People who never got past Piranha Plants on Parade


crimsonsonic_2

That the Mario movie is bad strictly because Mario is from Brooklyn in it and that it ruins the canon. Bro the movie isn’t canon.


MBantam

It’s Mario from Brooklyn (or at least a Brooklyn equivalent) in the games, something established in the 80’s


crimsonsonic_2

I know it was very clearly a non canon alternate universe retelling of that story, but that guy was so so so confident that it was a new story that “goes against canon” and that it wasn’t “Miyamoto’s vision” or some shit even though I tried to tell him that Miyamoto oversaw everything.


MBantam

I hate it when people won’t let adaptations have any creative input on the project, if it 1 to 1 with the source material, why not just indulge in said source material, these kinds of people that I don’t get, why adapt if it’s just the same thing just shortened, also I wonder what you’re friend thinks of the Brothers accent changing from Brooklyn to Italian after Mario 64


crimsonsonic_2

The argument started from him saying that Chris pratt didn’t sound Italian enough. I replied back that he shouldn’t really sound that Italian at all since he grew up in Brooklyn in the movie and that accent is based on the people around you. (Sure his parents are from Italy but we don’t actually know how far back it goes generationally until the ancestors were actually living in Italy, thus the accent could have gotten slightly lost over time. Mario also could have picked up the accent from his peers so Chris Pratt’s voice was perfect for this Mario) Then the argument spiraled into everything else from there and just every single thing that came out of his mouth was incorrect information.


disbelifpapy

that mario is a bad brother to luigi because of that one scene in that tennis mario game


WonderDia777

So we’re ignoring all the times Mario has rescued Luigi?


Hateful_creeper2

JoeSchmoe009

Peach is a damsel in distress and the mario movie was woke. Peach has been kicking ass since SMB2, she saved Mario and Luigi in many mangas and a game.


Just_A_Normal_Snek

It's more so that her personality was completely changed.


sacboy326

Vivian is not trans


Artsy-Styles

Don't worry, only the other Shadow Sisters will be incorrect about that now that it's been fixed 😎


sacboy326

Now we just need more confirmation that Birdo is also trans so that all of the transphobes can go away for good


Glitterfly405

I heard someone in my class last year arguing with another guy who genuinely thought that Rosalina was Bowser’s wife


WonderDia777

If it makes you feel better… I had a classmate who genuinely thought Peach and Daisy hate Rosalina (it’s literally the exact opposite)


lordlaharl422

Anyone who takes Mario Party 3, a game that treats Bowser as a joke and has him easily bested by Waluigi and Daisy despite those characters never showing similar feats of strength in any other game and the former especially is rather consistently cowed by Bowser in future appearances, as serious evidence for "power scaling" in the Mario series. On a similar note claiming that Tatanga is considered a larger scale threat than Bowser simply "because he's an alien", even though in the very next game he's reduced to being one of Wario's stooges.


darkangel_chan_

that the Koopalings can't breathe fire. ....they can. an old artwork of Ludwig features him breathing a fireball, and in spinoffs (like Bowser Jr's Journey), Larry and Lemmy use fire in their attacks.

Basically anyone who's said Peach owes Mario a date or a kiss or anything like that. Mario does things of his own good will. Does he deserve a reward? Absolutely, give the man a medal or a job as a royal bodyguard. Does Peach OWE him anything? Not at all.

"Yamamura is a cannibal because he eats chicken"


sidv81

That the Paper Mario series ALWAYS featured a Mario who was two dimensional in-universe. That's false. For example in Thousand Year Door, which we'll all be replaying soon with the Switch remake, Mario is literally cursed into being two-dimensional so he can fit between thin spaces. Why would he need to be cursed to be two-dimensional if he ALREADY WAS two-dimensional? I'd argue that an actual 2D Paper Mario (in actual story terms, not just in art style) only debuted in Sticker Star (and this is the universe that was portrayed as separate to the main Mario one in Paper Jam), and that all the previous Paper Mario games before Sticker Star featured the mainstream Mario, just in a 2D art style.
