I believe Mario and Luigi are canonically in their mid 20’s. Cousin looks like she’s a tween/early teen.
Maybe Mario and Luigi’s parents had them young and maybe their uncle and aunt had their kid later in life? And presumably, Mario and Luigi’s dad is the oldest of the brothers? That’s my guess…
>25, but Miaymoto original designed them as middle-aged men back in the 80s-early 90s.
If they're meant to be Italian then that makes sense. Italians age like milk. By the time they're in their late 20s they usually look like wrinkly 60 year olds then sit at that age until they turn to turds at 70
>Italians age like milk.
Still get more pussy than you.

So are Mario and Luigi's family ethnically Italian in the movie?
In the movie as well as the games. Mario was always from Brooklyn per Miyamoto himself. It wasn't an NOA contrivance like some like to claim. Mario's identity was always "An Italian-American plumber from Brooklyn" and as late as 1996 Miyamoto said very clearly Mario is from Brooklyn.
https://shmuplations.com/mario64/ >I noticed that Mario speaks with an Italian accent in this game. >Miyamoto: There’s no particularly detailed background or anything, but yeah, it’s a given that Mario is an Italian-American from Brooklyn, New York. That voice was actually done by a professional voice actor. He did Mario’s voice five or six years ago, at a video game event. By the way, Mario talks a lot more in the American version of Mario 64. He says “Okie Dokie!” and more. Peach also speaks. We had more time before the American release, so we improved the game.
Notice how Miyamoto claims "it's a given" because it was obvious since all the promotional material and public history made it obvious. The ambiguity claim from a Yoshi Story DS game, but I'd argue that's just a game and didn't change the established canon.
To be fair, there's no explicit reason that the Mario Bros. couldn't have been born in the Mushroom Kingdom and moved to Brooklyn slightly after they were born. There's even a few scenes in the movie that may suggest this but maybe it's just me being autistic
>there's no explicit reason that the Mario Bros. couldn't have been born in the Mushroom Kingdom
Why speak with an Italian accent, then? I mean if he kept his Brooklyn voice than it could make enough sense. But isn’t it a little contrived that he was born in the mushroom kingdom, went to Italy, immigrated to America and then went isekied back to the mushroom kingdom? I guess it’s possible, but a little convoluted . You’re right. Everything can be reconciled since there is a gap in Mario’s life. All these facts don’t necessarily conflict. We know baby Mario , and we know young adult Mario. We don’t know child Mario or Teenage Mario. He could have been born in the mushroom kingdom and his dad may or may not be the original jumpman. Maybe his dad chased the original donkey Kong (now cranky Kong) and ended up in the mushroom kingdom somehow. Gave birth to Mario, and later moved to earth in Italy. Mario and Luigi spent childhood and parts of teenage hood in Italy. Then, at some point the Mario bros moved to NYC. They may or may not have came with their parents. They got jobs as tradesmen and discovered the mushroom kingdom in the pipes under NYC. Maybe this was the original arcade Mario bros when koopas were coming out of the pipes. Wario exist and must have followed a similar trajectory to Mario. He might be Mario’s cousin, or childhood friend turned rival, or some random guy. Waluigi may or may not be Wario’s brother or friend or just some other random guy. At some point living in NYC Mario met and dated Pauline. Pauline found herself in a place similar to NYC with weird realistic looking humanoids called “New Donkers” and became its mayor.
Actually, the 24-25 age range was apparently the very first and only thing Miyamoto had defined about Mario. >“I think it was fortuitous that we didn’t put any restrictions on Mario as a character,” said Mr Miyamoto said in a Japanese interview in 2005. >“Normally when you create a character and present him to the world, all the details get filed in: what’s his favourite colour? what kind of food does he like to eat?” >But just the one detail was decided about Mario, he said. “Aside from the fact that he’s about 24-25 years old, we didn’t define anything else”.
Miyamoto always talked about Mario being in his early 20s even back then. He conceived of him wanting to be a cool older brother character to a teenage audience and this is specifically what irked him so much about Mario being portrayed as infantile during the N64 days(and ended Mario doing the peace sign).
The middle age perception is more a result of western media hiring men in their 40s/50s like Lou Albano or Walker Boone to voice him back when Mario media was just starting out, and the western cartoons emphasizing his chubby jowly face. In Japanese he was voiced by Toru Furuya in his early 30s and actually sounds young without going into wacky Martinet falsetto.
This carries over into the Mario movie with Mamoru Miyano, and this is also probably specifically why Miyamoto chose Chris Pratt(and Charlie Day) for the English voice, because they can plausibly sound like adults in their 20s rather than deep and gravelly-voiced men that have been smoking since they were 12.
Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if Miyamoto secretly wished he could go back and stop Martinet from doing wacky wahoo pizza guy but at this point it's too ingrained into the brand and even Martinet's successor Kevin Afghani is just replicating Martinet but without the Martinet paycheck.
>He conceived of him wanting to be a cool older brother character to a teenage audience and this is specifically what irked him so much about Mario being portrayed as infantile during the N64 days(and ended Mario doing the peace sign).
But I do peace signs and I'm an older brother.
Miyamoto famously said Mario is supposed to be “cool, not cute.” In retrospect, it’s kind of a weird statement. What does he mean by “cool”? Cool like Duke Nukem? Cool like sonic? Cool like Master Chief? Cool like Niko Bellic? Cool like Rocky Balboa? I don’t think Mario comes off as “cute” when does a peace sign but a friendly guy.
That was Koji Kondo, it comes up a lot in Iwata Asks when talking about Mario and composing for Mario, and after getting criticized by Kondo for making "cute" tracks instead of "cool adventure" songs, Mahito Yokota went and knocked out Gusty Garden Galaxy.
It's a lot of cultural baggage. You're listing a lot of "western appeal" cool characters like Sonic or Duke Nukem. Mario is cool partially because he's not supposed to be specifically cute. Luigi or Yoshi are "cute" characters. Mario is supposed to a two-fisted working man adventurer, storming a construction site to save his girlfriend from a gorilla, or sprinting through an army to save his girlfriend from an evil turtle sorcerer cursing her kingdom. SMRPG had him ready to swing on fricking anything and anybody. He's Nintendo's legally distinct Popeye clone. Popeye is your Mario template, he's a tough guy sailor that solves things by punching them. Hell, appropriate for an 80s hero, an early incarnation of Mario fought in fricking 'Nam.
I thought it was supposed to be Stanley when I watched it myself, but I've read somebody online clock that character as a girl, so I dunno. The possible Stanley had no lines or even a full minute of screentime, I don't think
How about streaming Joel, you lazy frick. Nobody gives a frick about a VotV highlight video thats taking you 3 months to edit, when others have done highlights for you on Youtube already
Mario’s parents and grand dad came straight from Nintendo. Meaning they canonically look like this in the games. Grand dad’s also the referee from Punch-Out.
Why were their uncles and grandparent there randomly? It didn't seem like there was a party going on or some family event happening but they just had their uncles there at dinner.
GRAND DAD?
FLEEENTSTONES???
How much older are Mario and Luigi compared to the younger cousin? Because they look more like Uncles than cousins.
They're 23. They just have good mustache genes.

I believe Mario and Luigi are canonically in their mid 20’s. Cousin looks like she’s a tween/early teen.

25, but Miaymoto original designed them as middle-aged men back in the 80s-early 90s.IMO having them in their mid-20s makes more sense, though.

It’s the mustache that makes them look older. They look young without it.
oof maronn'

is the cousin supposed to be Stanley?
Who stanley?
the Donkey Kong 3 guy
Flat Stanley.
I thought it was supposed to be Stanley when I watched it myself, but I've read somebody online clock that character as a girl, so I dunno. The possible Stanley had no lines or even a full minute of screentime, I don't think
Could still be Stanley, but gender-swapped.
How about streaming Joel, you lazy frick. Nobody gives a frick about a VotV highlight video thats taking you 3 months to edit, when others have done highlights for you on Youtube already
Leave him alone he clearly doesn't want to play the duende game
>No Mama Luigi
It's shit. Delete it and try again.
>luigi looks more like uncle Arthur
It's because she's about the same weight wide as Luigi. Mario is always supposed to be faster than Luigi.
Mario’s parents and grand dad came straight from Nintendo. Meaning they canonically look like this in the games. Grand dad’s also the referee from Punch-Out.
You now think about how fricking stupid Mario's design looks.
It did extremely well at the box office, so yes.
If Mario’s dad is Talon, then where’s his little sister Malon?
Whenever they add another park to Super Nintendo World
>Aunt Marie
Pure sexo
Why were their uncles and grandparent there randomly? It didn't seem like there was a party going on or some family event happening but they just had their uncles there at dinner.
Itsa family. They don't gotta have a reason to hang out.
where was mario's grand dad during ww2?
I can't find porn of mama Mario
What did they mean by this?
He's Mario and Luigi's uncle named Arthur.
where's Aunt Bertrude
>Mother is not Mama Mia
What were they thinking?
How many kids did Uncle Tony molest?
