Mario is 24 years old according to Shigeru Miyamoto

>Mario is now YOUNGER than he was on Melee
Poop.

What's in those 1up Mushrooms?

>tfw a good portion of Cred Forums is around Mario's age
kek

What type of vidya does Mario play?

I'm still 2 years younger.

I've just never seen a 24-year-old guy with a moustache like that.

That's an old man's moustache.

Mario and Luigi have always been in their mid twenties. Their ages are listed in the artbook that was published as a promotional item for the anime movie. Although I cannot find the exact page scans, mind you this was published in the mid 80s.

Peach is 16.

Where the fuck do you live?

Where I'm from, if you don't have some kind of facial hair by age 18 you're destined to become a tranny.

The Mario anime has somethings right and some things not so right in hindsight.

At best Mario has a 3-4 age gap on Peach ignoring Yoshi's Island DS

Not him, but Asian. Ching chong, bitches. Facial hair is non-existent

Sure but you and Mario could have been friends as kids and he would have came over to play your N64

Wrong.

Where did the time go?

>1981 was 24 years ago
Woah...

Mario's debut was 35 years ago
Luigi's debut was 33 years ago
Super Mario Bros will be 31.

It also inspired a ton of elements for later games and established many of the modern character designs. I strongly believed Miyamoto worked on it at some point and helped provide information for the promotional bios.

yea, ummm...
that's some bullshit

I've never really thought about Mario's age, but 24 seems young to me. Maybe it's the moustache throwing me off

>We are closer to Mario's 50th anniversary than his actual debut
someone stop time

>I'm older than Mario

>he's a pro go-kart racer
>an skillful painter and plumber
>an intelligent toy designer
>a famous adventurer
>a pretty good chef
>and a fucking doctor that cured epidemics
>and he's 24
>while here i just finished highschool and an english exam certification
time to get a rope

>I turn 25 on Tuesday
>I've done less in my life than Mario has

Time to commit sudoku.

More like 30's. Nobody I know looks like that until at least their late 20's.

Same age as me.

Makes me feel like a lazy piece of shit.

>24 years old

>24 years old

>tfw you're older than mario

Japanese are so fucking shit at ages it's not even funny.

What's up this story? Is it a slow news day? Did they run out of crying white women complaining about video games to talk about?

>24 years old
>you're already 2 years older than Mario
I guess it's time to go

The interview is 10 years old and Mario and Luigi are twins.

ZA WARUDO

Portly, middle-aged plumber makes for a more interesting hero than portly, 20-something plumber.

In my opinion, at least.

The fucking Japanese never cease to amaze with their obsession with young men. All their heroes are 10 years old and now they lowball a fucking italian plumber.

Mario, at 24 years old, is a world renowned racer, tennis player, soccer player, golfer, and straight up Olympian.

The thing is? None of these are even his fucking main gig.

bullshit, Mario has the body of a 50yrs old man

Always bump Japanese-made characters up 5-10 years.

Would anyone balk if he said 34?

This. 24 in japanese media is "middle aged" anywhere else.

Anything older is too old to even talk about.

...

>Everyone is getting super angry about Mario being in his mid 20s
>Despite the fact that he looks like a fucking cartoon character
>Despite the fact that he does, in fact, look fairly youthful
You're all a bunch of faggots.

Considering that Mario and Luigi were born at the same time Peach, who's a young woman, was this shouldn't be surprising to anyone.

what the fuck does Miyamoto think he's doing? he's completely ruined Mario lore

...

This

And this

>full illustrious head of brown hair
>middle aged

...

You're not gonna go gray in your early 30s unless you've got shit genetics.

I remember when they said Yoko was 14 years old. Horseshit, Japan.

you've got another thing coming, kiddo

Nah man it just means Melee takes place later in the Mario timeline, keep up with your lore.

you think thats something
look at the weight and height of all the street fighter characters

Nintendo is stupid and always will be

Shut up Mario

> 3 years older than Mario
>Haven't done anything with my life

this is 30 year old teacher.

>tfw you're 24 and this news today made you feel really old

Kek

>Mario was created before your were born
>Mario is now younger than you

> Not being a millennial
That's fucking sad. How old are you and why are you here?

Not everyone lives it big.

>letting miyamoto trick you guys again

This is as legit as Zelda having an actual timeline

the Japanese article was originally posted in 2005

2005-24=

So like is link 10 now? Y'know since the bar being lowered another 10 years

>Does that mean Luigi is a teenager?

Are there really people that don't know the Mario Brothers are twins...?

>Japanese ages

Mario is a thousand year old loli

I would play this

miyamoto is a fucking senile old fart that should be in retirement but instead, people worship him and enjoy the games he wonderfully destroyed steadilly each step at the time

>you will never have a Mario-tier 'stache

Mario is a 24-year-old white man who has a good-paying job. SJWs must really hate him.

Link is 10 in OoT.

Italians aren't white

looks more like 7 year old with a fake moustache at this point. +20 year old males would just kill bowser and fuck peach while mario just manchilds and fails from one series to another

He's clearly white in his depiction. A white man. In a privileged job that pays well and that is man-only.

I always thought he was 40

What the fuck are you smoking

Yes they are
Being vaguely tan doesn't make you not Caucasian

>implying

Yeah, that sounds about right.

Mario may look like he's early 40s, but he's really a 8000 alien from the planet Glarbulon.

JC Denton was 23 when he saved the world. What have YOU done.

My headcannon was always that Mario was mid 30 something and Peach was 26. Do we know how old Wario and Waluigi are?

Is Mario really dating or in love with Peach?

I've always thought he just considered her a friend.

Use your imagination dude, its not hard to imagine they fuck when he goes over for cake or something. You dont need heavy handed references in a Mario game like Peach going "haha yeah remember that time we boned"

This is a 17 years old deer according to Japan

Can anyone explain me why people care so much about age of fictional characters? Isn't it just completely retarded to think about it? They're not real and their age has nothing to do with literally anything, they're just characters.

He's clearly in his 30s

God damn anime is so stupid

>he outlived the average lifespan of a reindeer and still looks young

That nigga needs to start stacking MCT Oils then.

Holy shit.

...

Well, without his mustache he does looks like a young fag.

more like 42

Nope. I've always seen Mario at late 20s at the least but more mid to early 30s

Now he just looks like Fix-It Felix

Explains all those movies and cartoons where he is and sounds like a middle aged man.

And so is his voice actor in the games too by the way

>Miyamoto conceived the concept of a love triangle and decided to make a game based on the Popeye character. He, however, was denied the rights for the Popeye franchise, so he decided to come up with a new idea using his own characters. For use in his arcade game Donkey Kong, he created a character named Jumpman, who previously went under other names, such as Mr. Video, and originally, Ossan (the Japanese term for middle-aged man)

>It is said that during the development for Donkey Kong Jr., the Jumpman character was renamed to Mario when an employee at Nintendo of America's office pointed out the similar physical appearances between Jumpman and Nintendo's Italian landlord, Mario Segale. This is later confirmed by Shigeru Miyamoto during a promotional video for Super Mario Maker, which celebrates Mario's 30th anniversary.

They can say he's 17 now for all I care. But the truth is Mario was originally designed as a middle aged carpenter then plumber. I guess this is another one of those times where they think kids wont relate to some "old" guy so they're making the character pointlessly younger. They have worked hard over the years making him younger looking over time, so I guess this isn't much of a surprise.

But why do the japanese hate people over 30 now? Is their culture that youth obsessed?

Pic is what he looked like in the original Donkey Kong artwork.

Screwed that up, that's obviously his sprite concept.

Here's the cropped promotional.

This is a 13 year old Japanese boy.

In Oda's defense he wanted to make Chopper look older but publishers demanded they keep him as the mascot character

>Hi, it's me, Mark.

His Walk Point aka his original form still ages.

Yeah but that was just in the western advertising. He looked like this on the arcade display.

Luigi's a fuckin' idiot

>Does that mean Luigi is a teenager?

Have these fuckers never played Yoshi's Island? They're fucking twins.

Lucky bastard.

25 year old male.

same

>Monkey Dong
Wasnt that Jumpman though?

Waluigi?
Are you okay?

Mario looks like a toddler without the mustache, I can believe it.

You're forgetting they're like the Disney characters, they're actors

>yfw peach is older than mario
>yfw this confirms japanese have a milf fetish

do you only know fagolas?
i know lots of people that look like that and runs their own business.

>Milf in questions love to give birth to dino-babies

Gotta love those Japanese

if he didn't have a moustache, Miyamoto would have claimed he's actually 12. because that's the target demographic. it's obvious mario was originally designed to be in his 40s or 50s

>tfw older than Mario

>does this mean Luigi is a teenager?
Do these people even play games?

leave this place before it's too late

Nah, probably his mid thirties or at most early forties

You guys are fucking retarded.
The statement was made in 2005. 24 years before that was the first mario game. Miyamoto was making a joke.

Mario is 35 now if anything.

japan is very youth centric

because what other man in his right mind would dress like this in his mid 40's

...

I have I picture of my father at 24

should I post it?

What is it with Japanese people and their focus on young ages? 95+% of their characters seem to be under 30. It surely can't just be because of the target audience, which is actually getting older since kids mostly play mobile/moba garbage.

this is a 19 years old Italian

no

ok

he looks like david gilmour btw

must be a slow day if this is worth a fucking 500 post thread damn

*his first game came out 24 years ago back when miamotard made that statement in 2005.

how old is Peach?
and Rosalina?

this might open a new controversial page in Mario Lore

>that fat autist wearing mario costume is closer to the real thing than official movies

We settled this in the other thread.

He may be canonically 24, but he looks significantly older

>tfw you're older than Mario

he does not

Mario is still 30s or 40s in my mind.
This is like if they just decided to say Samus was 50. It just doesn't make sense so I can't be disappointed.

Don't worry, Nintendo will never say that.

Cred Forums will, though. Constantly.

This.
This is no different than the Zelda timeline.
Forced lore specifications where they make no sense.

Standard Japanese aging rule.
add 4-6 to whatever they say the characters age is

That's a hell of a moustache for his age.

This.
Case closed.

He was originally middle aged.
Then melee said he was 26.
Now he's 24.

It's all fucked up just like the sonic ages.
Nobody will take this seriously.

post yfw Rosalina is 9

What better time to start then.

It irks me the fact that he's showing anger through his eyelids instead of with his eyebrows

>But why do the japanese hate people over 30 now
it's not hate, but the Japanese way of life only allow people to be free during teenagehood, when you are an adult, you get a job and marry and become "your kid's parent" instead of a real person. It became worse as their cult of youth intensified.

a bunch of Japanese 13 year old there too

>believing in what a random jap says

keep memeing, Cred Forums

>53 years old

>earth time in space

>only allow people to be free during teenagehood, when you are an adult, you get a job and marry
Mario can be older than, he's a plumber who's also a doctor (and cured cold)
user, there's only two japanese kids there, one is 13 and the other one 14

bullshit
only hyoga isnt from japan there

Shun is 13
Seiya Shiryu and Yogah are 14
and Ikki is 15.

Nope, Seiya and Shun are 13
Shiryu and Hyoga are 14
Ikki is 15
and Hyoga is the only one not japanese

LITERALLY a fucking 24 year old man collecting mushrooms and saving princesses in his fantasy world. A fucking 24 year old man. He should have a job at this point, not imagine some fucked up scenarios. Mario is fucking pathetic.

He has a job. He is a plumber.

>Being a 24 year old plumber

He failed at life so now he's imagining going into pipes, collecting mushrooms and stomping imaginary animals. He really is fucked up in the head.

He's a plumber you fucking retard.

24 old man who's a docter, he cured common cold and also acts as a pumbler.

Reminder that in the Mario universe, not only is there a Mushroom Kingdom, but there also is such place as the USA, Germany, France, Japan, India, Spain, Turkey...

Mario himself come from the USA, Brooklyn, to be precise.

...

Nigger, you have any idea how much a plumber or any other sort of skilled tradesman makes? These are the guys that get called out to your house and are paid $60 to spend 10 minutes unclogging your fucking toilet.

>still a better hobby than trolling Nintendo imageboards.

Mario And Luigi: Partners In Time portrays Peach as younger than Mario and Luigi as well. But the gap isn't that big.

About 10 years ago.

>if you don't start at 17 years old, you have ruined your life.

>mfw 10 years older then mario

Well, that's just before people graduate from school in most of the world.
You have learned in school for more than a decade, time to put your knowledge and capabilities to use. Be it in a job or at college.

post dick

Why is this such a big fucking deal to you people that we had to have two autistic threads? Younger than 20s or older than 30s would have been eyebrow raising, otherwise this is in that average male adult age range for fictional characters. For the record I always thought he was 30 at most.
