Could've sworn he was much older according to some other obscure source.

The only other source I remember is Mario's Melee troophy, which states the exact same thing.

He looked like a 40 something plumber back when Miyamoto conceived the show in the late 80s.

And if he was 25 back then then he's 50 now anyway.

Miyamoto did not make the cartoon.

He didn't make it but without his consent we wouldn't have it. Clearly Mario is supposed to be a 40 something plumber. If not his age was clearly not a thing he defined in the 80s then like he now claims.
