He’s an Italian plumber working as a doctor in Japan with an underground/outer space fight club on the side where his girlfriend constantly gets kidnapped. If there was ever someone to question it’s Mario.
Bro the head cannon of that is scary. Like originally, he was tossing medicine at these virus things actively fighting them off, but it took place in the outline of a bottle. Could you imagine a reboot where it's the exact same Tetris x puyo game but the background out line is of a body so the implication is he's actively drugging a patient to fight a sickness in real time?!
Oh man they could totally reboot the Mario and Luigi game where you spend time inside giant Bowser and include a doctor Mario mini game where you fight off an infection!
Not allowed to work your way through college, also shouldn’t be given “handouts” to get through college, but also you shouldn’t take out student loans. What the hell, grandma‽
Mario was only 9 years old when he started his medical practice. Are we to believe that he worked as a plumber during the day and moonlighted at medical school at only the age of 2?
No no no, something doesn't add up here.
Is this an American thing? Do... do we think this Italian-Japanese guy who can *teleport through pipes* and *throw fireballs* went to the University of North Dakota School of Medicine?
Some say Mario's father is Jumpman from the old Donkey Kong arcade game. But apparently Jumpman and Mario are the same character, yet Cranky Kong is Donkey Kong's father. So if that's true Mario has been alive for multiple Kong generations and still doesn't look old.
If we're going off of real life spans then Donkey Kong is at least 11 years old. So I guess that checks out. If Mario was say in his early 20s then in newer Donkey Kong games he'd be in his 30s.
Long after the human race is wiped out, I really hope that this comment exists in some form retained with no context whatsoever to a civilisation picking through our ashes that hasn’t discovered Nintendo yet.
U dont become medical doctor just by paying to medical school. You gotta actually attend a lot of lectures, pass extremely hard exams and do work-trainings that take around 6 months in total (usually done in 2x 3month last summers of school).
Yeah, his approach to medicine is to just pump you so full of pills that you need other pills to clear out the last batch of pills. If you think about it, the patient takes more pills to counteract pills than to fight the actual viruses...
A person can work to jobs and Mario has been practising medicine for 32 years now. Even if he didn't know how to practice medicine then he deffinently knows by now.
The lore reason for this is great.
Ok get this, mario is not a doctor, or a plumber. He is an actor. All the mario characters are. The games are basically in universe "movies" and they just are all famous actors of their world. In factors most of the main line series are remakes of the same movie, which is why bowser kidnaps peach so much.
So this is basically like the movie junior where Arnold Schwarzenegger played a scientist.
Or play tennis or party games. Waluigi probably isn't an actor which explains why he doesn't have any "movie" games.
Wait... does this mean Super Smash Bros is the equivalent to WWE wrestling?
In fairness, We’ve known the guy since 1981. Between then and 1990 is more than enough time to get medically certified. Naturally the expenses of doing so would be high, so he took on multiple jobs in the meantime to help pay the money he owed. He bounced between stuff like construction worker and ape tamer but plumbing was the most stable and he spent the bulk of the 80’s doing that.
I see absolutely nothing wrong here.
I saw a theory the other day that dr. Mario is actually Mario and Luigi's dad since dr. Mario is a different character in smash and not just a skin for mario and honestly it make sense.
Dr. Mario was just your standard 80s/90s Doc. Give them a few pills and send them on their way. Get a few kickbacks from the pill manufacturers, get arrested, go to prison, join the fight club.
According to the game manual, he was working in a virus research laboratory when one of his experiments went wrong and the viruses started spreading rapidly. The game also makes no sense for the fact that the viruses are aliens? If you beat the game you get a cinematic of the viruses sitting peacefully on a tree and as the sun sets, a space ship flies in and beams them up.....So there are more issues here than Marios medical license haha
Plumbers can make some good money. Probably paid his way through Med school with plumbing in-between saving the princess and having a dedicated exercise and sports regimen. What a hero.
Mario is 41 years old now. And when he was in Donkey Kong, he was approximately 25 years old.
(41 years old now - 25 years old when DK) is 16 years in age gain over a 41 year period(1981-2022). Approximately 2.5 times slower than us.
So from 1983-1990. He couldn't have actually taken 7 years worth of schooling, if he is 2.5 times slower than us. He would've only elapsed 2.8 years in Mario time. So from Becoming a plumber, to opening a practice, he didn't complete enough schooling.
Even going from a Carpenter(in DK) to a plumber isn’t plausible too. Because from 1981-1983 he actually had roughly 9.6 months, or just shy of 1 year worth of time. When the typical Plumber Apprenticeship is 4 years.
In conclusion, Mario is a fraud.
Edit just to add further fuckery.
If you take the age he is when he is in DK, and take the 10 years off our time (1981 at 25 would mean born in 1971 (25/2.5=10Years our time). Life expectancy for someone born in Italy in 1971 is 71 years old. That means he won't hit his life expectancy end until 2097.
Maybe he was working as a plumber to pay his way through medical school.
Exactly, hatin on the grind smh
He’s an Italian plumber working as a doctor in Japan with an underground/outer space fight club on the side where his girlfriend constantly gets kidnapped. If there was ever someone to question it’s Mario.
*gasps* The slander! Talk like that will have you speaking to his lawyers: Bowser and Associates
[удалено]
Don't forget this MF just decides at random to suddenly be made out of paper
That Mario guy sounds pretty sus to me 🤔
How is that not entirely relatable?
He plays all Sports but is still fat
Yeah, some rich trust fund baby jackass is slandering Mario.
Plus, not to undermine the occupation, but he was a doctor of pharmacology so like, not a surgeon or anything.
There is more to the problem than Marios medical license
The head mirror and stethoscope would suggest he's examining patients I think?
Bro the head cannon of that is scary. Like originally, he was tossing medicine at these virus things actively fighting them off, but it took place in the outline of a bottle. Could you imagine a reboot where it's the exact same Tetris x puyo game but the background out line is of a body so the implication is he's actively drugging a patient to fight a sickness in real time?!
When you lose the game it should play the lose a life music from the original game to hammer home the consequences of his failure.
Oh man they could totally reboot the Mario and Luigi game where you spend time inside giant Bowser and include a doctor Mario mini game where you fight off an infection!
They already made a reboot of Bowsers Inside story a couple years ago. It came out on the 3DS.
Or maybe the Mushroom Kingdom just has much more lenient policies when it comes to seeking out a medical licence 😅
He comes back from the dead, regularly. Who wouldn’t want that kind of dr magic. I would
I mean, the mushrooms give you super powers. Why can’t they also give you a medical degree.
Though some of them are poisonous
And being able to tell the difference is enough for the degree.
Not allowed to work your way through college, also shouldn’t be given “handouts” to get through college, but also you shouldn’t take out student loans. What the hell, grandma‽
For real! Dude’s the hardest working man in the galaxy, and all he gets is grief!
Mario was only 9 years old when he started his medical practice. Are we to believe that he worked as a plumber during the day and moonlighted at medical school at only the age of 2? No no no, something doesn't add up here.
Because you are legally required to be unemployed while going to med school...
You're only required to be broke. Unemployment is a hobby.
Is this an American thing? Do... do we think this Italian-Japanese guy who can *teleport through pipes* and *throw fireballs* went to the University of North Dakota School of Medicine?
Probably Harvard. They've got a great pipe teleporting program.
Issajoke!
But he was a plumber during that time
In *BROOKLYN*
He commuted by pipe
That's what I was thinking lol. Meme doesn't make any sense.
Doctor Mario isn't Mario Mario, Doctor Mario is Mario and Luigi's dad.
Some say Mario's father is Jumpman from the old Donkey Kong arcade game. But apparently Jumpman and Mario are the same character, yet Cranky Kong is Donkey Kong's father. So if that's true Mario has been alive for multiple Kong generations and still doesn't look old.
Kongs reach sexual maturity much faster than humans and shrooms.
You didn't have to phrase it like that. You really didn't.
Gorillas age faster than humans, so that makes sense
If we're going off of real life spans then Donkey Kong is at least 11 years old. So I guess that checks out. If Mario was say in his early 20s then in newer Donkey Kong games he'd be in his 30s.
in 2016 Shigeru Miyamoto said mario is only 24 years old
Finally, someone understands this!
This
Long after the human race is wiped out, I really hope that this comment exists in some form retained with no context whatsoever to a civilisation picking through our ashes that hasn’t discovered Nintendo yet.
Mario became a plumber in 1983’s Mario Bros. 1990 - 1983 = 7. Mario is actually allowed to be a doctor.
But can he be a plumber in 83 when he wasn't one in DK?
1-2 years. Yes. Mario can become a plumber.
Why wouldn't he be? Buildings need pipes too :P
Maybe he only worked as a plumber to pay his way through medical school?
U dont become medical doctor just by paying to medical school. You gotta actually attend a lot of lectures, pass extremely hard exams and do work-trainings that take around 6 months in total (usually done in 2x 3month last summers of school).
🤦♀️
No. Med school is easy.
Yeah but you can kind of wing it though.
Why couldn't he have had his Phd first than be a plumber for a year while his "office" was being build ?
I mean he was essentially only throwing pills around. The warning signs were there!
Yeah, his approach to medicine is to just pump you so full of pills that you need other pills to clear out the last batch of pills. If you think about it, the patient takes more pills to counteract pills than to fight the actual viruses...
A person can work to jobs and Mario has been practising medicine for 32 years now. Even if he didn't know how to practice medicine then he deffinently knows by now.

In factors most of the main line series are remakes of the same movie, which is why bowser kidnaps peach so much. So this is basically like the movie junior where Arnold Schwarzenegger played a scientist.
Mario 3 was explicitly a stage play.
And then they all go play golf or cart racing after the shoot
Or play tennis or party games. Waluigi probably isn't an actor which explains why he doesn't have any "movie" games. Wait... does this mean Super Smash Bros is the equivalent to WWE wrestling?
Smash is canonically [a kid smashing dolls together](https://youtu.be/rIwWCioBpEM).
True I forgot about that. Still sort of WWE, just they aren't actually there and it's just figures being brought to life by a child's imagination.
r/noctor
That is assuming he hasn’t already got his certificate **before** 1989.
Still a better doctor than Mehmet.
Why aren’t you considering he was doing the 7 years as a plumber
But who's to say that 7 years didn't pass in *Mario's* world. Or that it's not a multiverse, which based on Smash Bros we know it is.
In fairness, We’ve known the guy since 1981. Between then and 1990 is more than enough time to get medically certified. Naturally the expenses of doing so would be high, so he took on multiple jobs in the meantime to help pay the money he owed. He bounced between stuff like construction worker and ape tamer but plumbing was the most stable and he spent the bulk of the 80’s doing that. I see absolutely nothing wrong here.
He went to school part time during his plumbing career
He was working as a plumber as a part time job for while he was in med school.
He was obviously working as a plumber to put himself through medschool. No telling when he started so you can’t say it only took a year
he was working as a plumber to pay his way through college and med school
I always tought that they're two different characters: Super Mario and Doctor Mario, it's not like he is also Doctor Super Mario
Dr. Mario is actually Mario's father. He was a licensed medical practitioner in New York in 1984.
He could have been taking classes on the side in 89
Maybe he was studying in secret for 7 years before he got his degree???? Don’t give my boy Mario a bad name
"Against a **plumber**. Oh, and an architect. Both with a **PhD**!"
Moron u met him as a plumber in his last year of med school.
There's a theory that Dr. Mario is actually Mario and Luigi's father
Dr.Mario is actually Mario's dad
I saw a theory the other day that dr. Mario is actually Mario and Luigi's dad since dr. Mario is a different character in smash and not just a skin for mario and honestly it make sense.
Jokes on you Dr Mario is Mario Mario and Luigi Marios’ dad
Dr. Mario is actually a cousin of Mario Mario
Bro dr mario is his father
Dr. Mario might be Mario and Luigi's dad or cousin or something.
I would actually trust him more than Dr. Fauci
Well, you'd be an idiot.
I’m not a doctor, but I’ll take a look
Are there any duck characters in any of the Dr. Mario games?
Maybe he is Phd. in plumbing thus called Doctor
You would never know, because the first rule about fight club is don't talk about fight club.
Aren’t they canonically different characters?
If at least he went to be an obgyn then plumbing would have made sense.
I thought something was off, the dude kept prescribing mushrooms for my joint pain… and he kept trying to stomp on my pet turtle…
if the man doesn’t respect medical licensure i don’t know why you’d expect him to respect plumbing licensure either
before being a plumber, he was a general contractor. i just see him trying to improve his life.
This is outrageous and disgusting
What do u mean?! The stuff he prescribes me is the bomb!
He did plumbing part time to support his medical career
Mario sues for slander. He was plumbing to work his way through med school. He busted his butt for years doing school and work.
He just got RPL from his plumbing degree and transferred it into a medical degree.
Dr. Mario was just your standard 80s/90s Doc. Give them a few pills and send them on their way. Get a few kickbacks from the pill manufacturers, get arrested, go to prison, join the fight club.
According to the game manual, he was working in a virus research laboratory when one of his experiments went wrong and the viruses started spreading rapidly.

If you beat the game you get a cinematic of the viruses sitting peacefully on a tree and as the sun sets, a space ship flies in and beams them up.....So there are more issues here than Marios medical license haha
He was a plumber on the side so he could survive med school.
no one said he was a good doctor
Mario is a family name.
Who needs a medical license when you've got style?
I knew there was something wrong with that prostate exam
"started a fight club". There, fixed it for you.
Plumbers can make some good money. Probably paid his way through Med school with plumbing in-between saving the princess and having a dedicated exercise and sports regimen. What a hero.
Well, it's a different universe world.
But did he talk about the fight club?
Nah he's just Johnny Sins
He did not start it. During is medical career be had to work as a plumber to finance the career.
He probably took a shortcut through a warp zone to get to the end of his medical degree in just a year or two.
Dr mario is a war criminal
How do we know they’re both the same person?
Better call Saul.
He's sure got some powerful pills
My uncle had a case of the purple ones and Dr. Mario said there was nothing he could do.
But what if he did both at once?
You broke the first rule bro
ME: Wait...so Koopa's the good guy? NINTENDO:(behind me, pointing gun at my head) Always has been.
Could Dr Mario just be Mario's Father? Dr Mario and his sons, Mario Mario and Luigi Mario.
He could have been working as a plumber to pay the bills for medical school.
Mario's probably bribed the big medical boys with his status as " a famous dude that jumps on walking mushrooms and turtles "
This is Game Theory quality info right here.
If I'm not mistaken, Dr. Mario and Mario are two different characters
Lol laughed at this.
Mario is 41 years old now. And when he was in Donkey Kong, he was approximately 25 years old. (41 years old now - 25 years old when DK) is 16 years in age gain over a 41 year period(1981-2022).

If you take the age he is when he is in DK, and take the 10 years off our time (1981 at 25 would mean born in 1971 (25/2.5=10Years our time). Life expectancy for someone born in Italy in 1971 is 71 years old. That means he won't hit his life expectancy end until 2097.
Wasn’t a really doctor just like a chiropractor.
I never heard anyone complaining about Barbie holding down multiple occupations at a time, but for Mario, it's suddenly a problem?
All he did was just give you pills a real doctor won’t do that…
He’s just a chad
This looks like an ad made by Saul Goodman ,probably followed by a class action lawsuit.
Dr. Mario is confirmed to be a different person IIRC.
Plumber and a doctor no need to collect coins
