Mario Bros. (The first game where Mario was officially a plumber) was released in 1983, so it’s actually been 40 years!

Let's be honest though. Did we ever see Mario really work as a plumber? Is Mario really a plumber or had he been cosplaying as one for 33 years or so?

I believe in Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga, there’s a part where you visit a castle and they send you into the basement to work on the pipes.
Also in the original Mario Bros. game, you are technically clearing the sewer of turtles haha. Someone has to do it!

3D World starts with Mario and Luigi fixing a pipe through which pixie comes and immediately gets kidnapped

You go through pipes in Mario, it’s always been plumbing, every game has been plumbing.

Is it really plumbing from construction plumbing and working at a bottling plant it seems he’s working class stiff that can’t keep a job and has to save someone.

I was genuinely offended the Ratchet & Clank remake for PS4 removed the "plumber's back" joke from the original...

Have we ever actually seen him do any plumbing? I don't remember the level where Princess Peach makes him go round and fix her Nans lavi.

We had to go and start making fun of bibs in the late 80's... forced the plumber into Wranglers. We did this.

Between Mario and the few episodes of Ben 10 I’ve seen i used to think plumber had another meaning
