Forums - Nintendo - Shigeru Miyamoto Says Mario is Only 24 or 25 Years Old

Good. I demand a gamr starring the cute Mario that was posted on neogaf with a red t-shirt, glassess and shaved.



Proud to be the first cool Nintendo fan ever

Number ONE Zelda fan in the Universe

DKCTF didn't move consoles

Prediction: No Zelda HD for Wii U, quietly moved to the succesor

Predictions for Nintendo NX and Mobile

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

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.

Why would they need his consent? He may have created Mario, but Nintendo owns him. They can license it to anybidy they want, with or without Miyamoto's consent.

Besides, the cartoons contradict a lot of things in game canon.

Why would Miyamoto say his age is the only thing that was defined and then goes on to ok a show where Mario looks like a 40 something plumber? Thats not what "his age was the only thing we defined" means.

Maybe the 25 of the 80s is the 40-50 of today.

I just watched the credits, and it credit Miyamoto for anything, so I doubt he had anything to do with the show.

Depends on the genes. Steven Adams, OKC Thunder basketball player, has a full mustache and beard and he's only 23 from New Zealand. I wouldn't say it's out of the realm of possibility.
Regardless, it's an interview from 2005 that was rediscovered that ultimately is something interesting that Miyamoto mentioned. Two years later, Mario Galaxy and New Super Mario Bros. came about and things went well for Miyamoto and Co. during that time.

Yeah of course Miyamoto was totaly oblivious to what direction Nintendo's premier franchise was going into. The show went on for years. It's an official Nintendo sanctioned and approved license, not some fan made production. If his age was the one thing that they defined when creating Mario, he would've objected to his portrayal by the show and the community for assuming he was older. So his age is the one thing that wasn't defined, the only thing that's defined is his moustache, hat and clothes.

You have a lot of assumptions on how Miyamoto would act.



Only 25 years old and looking like that? That's what a life of abusing 'shrooms will do to you.
