What if: Mario's Profession

@baauer0 • 55d

I've pictured before the idea of Mario being a construction worker, building (a la Minecraft) to move around the world.

@quinnvortex • 78d

Definitely would work in construction

@daddymang • 263d

The same thing that Deuce Bigolo did .. whatever that was

@jpegmario • 265d

Taxi Driver

@uxorcist • 265d

Pet. DETECTIVE.

@kaza • 265d

Restaurant Worker or Maybe like Professional Chef; yk mario be cookin' in his freetime

@travg • 265d

Doctor. Pill pusher. Whatever you want to call him...

@ohmyfavourite • 265d

Truck driver? IDK he's kinda built that way

@joob • 265d

Pilot - when Mario flies it's always a good time

@joel • 266d

Sanitation. Like Tony in the Sopranos. Plus, still could have pipes I suppose.

@badintel • 266d

A professional flautist. To warp to new worlds he has to do an impossible squeeze into flute pipes, a la Santa Clause.

@jimmynumerics • 266d

Italian Restaurant Owner who gets into the underground rare ingredient smuggling

@geodad • 266d

Definitely a barber!

@rey • 266d

I draw complete blanks with these creative ones. I'm impressed with everything game developers come up with because I know I can't. I'll highlight some of my favorite answers. @infocynic https://ch...more

@friz • 266d

Professional golfer?

@cayden • 266d

I feel like maybe as a chef

@danioverhere • 266d

Mario could play Chris Pratt in the Pratt Bros movie.

@infocynic • 266d

He helps his brother out, who owns a very successful ghostbusting business.

@kelseyb • 266d

The pizza guy.

@damnravi • 266d

A barber. Have you seen his mustache?

@elblanconino • 266d

Janitor. Messy supply closets could be a secret world all their own

@enderphoenix • 266d

Hard to say because he's been EVERYTHING. A doctor, a ref, a golfer, pro soccer player... But would any of those had the staying power to let him become a franchise unto himself?

@buster • 266d

Unemployed.

@highflyinpenguin • 266d

To answer the actual question it would probably have to be some type of adventurer/explorer to be a successful game franchise.

@mase • 266d

Mario would be "the Demolition Man". He's had a bit of practice.

@funkstylee • 266d

I could see Mario as a programmer a la Netrunner.

@nanner • 266d

Electrician or welder. It’s a trade and you could do some cool stuff with it I’m sure. Especially an electrician, he already does some electrical stuff in games.

@jackalope • 266d

I could see Mario being a mafia don.

@dadalorian • 266d

Pro golfer. Uses his clubs as weapons.

@whitethunder • 266d

monster hunter?? he hunts bowser in literally every game

@buddhastank • 266d

Referee for boxing matches?

@jklein8383 • 266d

I don't think he had a profession. He's clearly an escaped mental patient. He thinks mushrooms make him bigger, he can fly and shoot fireballs. Has delusions that he can ride a dinosaur, talks to mus...more

@rusty6713 • 266d

Seeing how he breaks things he works as a demolition worker.

@ohtwotwo • 266d

Lifelong college student. Started on an athletic scholarship but enjoyed doing various other activities so decided to live life to the fullest. He does graduate, then starts a new program as well as g...more

@malfurious • 266d

@saturnrogue • 266d

Work as a wrecking crew member. You know… “I came in to the Mushroom Kingdom like a wrecking ball” All for the love of Peach.

@bammonty • 266d

This is obvious a doctor it never said he couldn’t have a job from another game

@bitzdad • 266d

Paleontologist

@ianr • 266d

Although the story behind Mario’s creation isn’t fresh in my mind, I do remember Nintendo opted for a blue-collar job like plumbing to make Mario more relatable to the average person. So honestly ...more

@trashdoc16 • 266d

I could see mario being a race car driver

@mariomaestro • 266d

Mushroom Kingdom Palace Head of Security He was fired after a year.

@legodad • 266d

A choochoo train driver. Just put some stripes on his bibs and hat.

@james16d9 • 266d

I work at a lumber mill and i wear Bib overalls. I would say he could be a millwright right along side me.

@gongshowdad • 266d

He looks more like a carpenter anyways

@jedijohann • 266d

Does Mario's profession matter? Aside from the travel pipes, and I associate those with the mushroom kingdom rather than Mario's work, there is no gaming mechanic which directly links him to plumbing....more

@seth • 266d

I could see him being a malpractice Dr of some sort.

@dennis • 266d

Phone Service Lineman. Mario and Luigi travel via phone lines and Toad acts as an operator at a switch port. Mario takes the red mushroom. He starts to realize that bending the spoon is impossible,...more

@thunder • 266d

Yeah no, nothing else would’ve worked.

@themadbombchu • 266d

Mycologist. Travels to the Mushroom Kingdom for research purposes.

@codyb • 266d

Stuntman. It would give more explanation as to why he is willing to do all this crazy things he attempts in the games.

@darthsmeagol • 266d

I do think the Mario franchise could have been successful had Mario been another type of tradesman (I assume some type of blue-collar job probably made him more relatable; not to mention a white-colla...more

@laughatbrian • 266d

Hedgehog killer.

@dosandres • 266d

I’d say he would stick with the trades and be a distribution linemen. Instead of pipes he would travel through overhead power lines. No worries, there would still be underground levels too as he tra...more

@castorgarden • 266d

Head Coach of an NBA Team in an NBA Jam game...gotta gets those hops up!

@wiifu • 266d

I’m gonna go with carpenter/architect and go the Mario maker route of how his games would have gone. Instead of pipe traveling he would design and build creations to travel throughout the levels ab...more

@jaimecitoamor • 266d

I think the carpenter and janitor options are good, but want to add something new to the conversation. So, how about TikToker that explores abandoned places. Bring him into the 2020s.

@hrlwesty • 266d

I think he would be a good gardener, he deals a lot with mushrooms and plants I also think golfer, tennis player, soccer player, zookeeper, archeologist or race car driver? .

@zonkedwheat9999 • 266d

Carpenter there similar to plumbers

@commandernici • 266d

I think he could also have been a carpenter, or janitor (he can even keep his trademark clothes for those jobs) Just imagine the possibilities!!! I could see some sort of building mechanic in there ...more
