This Italian plumber is the star of the world-famous Super Mario Bros. video game series. Back in the 80's, technology for games was young and graphics were more pixelated. His creators gave Mario a cap and mustache because hair and a mouth were impossible to animate back then. Today, he's much more detailed. His latest video game even had strands of hair in his mustache!
May your day lack mama mia's but be filled with yahoos & yippees as you jump for the top of the flagpole and save princesses! 😆🎮
Awesome trivia which reminds me of the character Kirby after the lawyer defended Nintendo. Most days, I watch Super Mario speedrun if it is on Twitch. Great lighting btw and Mar10 be with you, always... wait what lols
@gggg - Thanks a ton! Yes!! That's right! I love Kirby too and Mario speedruns are so impressive. Now you reminded me of more trivia. Mario was named after the landlord of Nintendo of America's office, who barged in on a company meeting demanding overdue rent. lol.
The star wars reference made me smile. That would be such a cool crossover too. Wonder if Luigi would join the dark side.
Also, LEGO announced today that they have partnered with Mario! Looks like we're going to be getting new minifigs to explore.
Congratulations to Mario- but he doesn't hold a candle to the reason why this day is special to me- it's the day when our first son was born! It's going to be fun to see the creative things you are going to do with CJ and the upcoming Mario Legoman. You have Mario lookin' pretty good here!
@gggg - Hahahaha I head that directly in Luigi's voice. There's this thing in Mario Kart called Luigi's Death Stare and I saw that sinister look too. 😂🤣
@dustyloup - Hahaha, I'm hoping he was usually a nice landlord...nicer than Nintendo's. At least we got a very cheerful, popular character out of it.
@olivetreeann - Aww, that's totally sweet! Mario can't get a better high score than that, haha! Yes!! I'm very excited to see what Lego sets will eventually come.
@sunnygirl - Thanks, Mallory!! I wanted to make it bright and cheerful as possible. The pixel Mario even has images from his different games.
@Weezilou - Thanks you!! Absolutely, I've never been a fan of graphically violent video games. My collection of games tend to be very colorful or cartoony. Playing games with these art styles as a kid have actually been one of the things that inspires my photography.
@grammyn - Haha, funny how Mario makes everyone so cheerful. Thanks much, Katy!

Obi-Wan: You were the chosen one! You were my brother Luigi, I loved you.
Luigi: I'm a Luigi, number one! Bingo! Oh ho ho, here we go!
