Forums - Nintendo Discussion - So, Mario's last name is Mario?

If Mario and Luigi are the "Mario Brothers" then their last name must be Mario...?  Because you arent going to refer to brothers by the first name of one of the brothers...  With parents who name their children like that, i bet peach is their sister.

Yeah, it's Mario Mario and Luigi Mario.

I'm sure back in the Atari days they weren't thinking that hard about story and just wanted to make something fun.



lol I had noticed it, but like kasz said they were probably trying to make a fun game and didnt care for that.



Yeah, I think it was even in the manuals (and cartoons?).



 

You took that from That Guy With Glasses Mario the Movie reviews, didn't you?



Above: still the best game of the year.

Yes



Maybe, everyone just refers to Mario as Mario because they don't know his first name...

Damn it Mr. Bubbles overthinking stuff like this..



Pixel Art can be fun.

No... In much of the world there is no 'last' name. You are just a name and commonly your family or surname would be the name of your father or grand father etc.

So, in this case Mario is the older brother and all that is left. So, they use his first name in all formal dealings. This is also why Mario is always player number one.



More importantly, whats Bowser's last name?

I'm pretty sure that the princess is referenced as "Peach Toadstool".
