Without looking down the plumber profession, but maybe many people curious why Mario Bors created as a person who fixing pipes for a living? Moreover, Mario Bros games are designed for children, which is undoubtedly interested in common professions like police, teacher, and doctor.

To answer the question, it’s better that you know the history of this character that famously known to have a thick mustache and red shirt first. 

Mario Bros stole people’s attention for the first time when Nintendo released Super Mario Bros on September 13, 1985. Shigeru Miyamoto became the man who responsible for the creation of Mario in the video game industry back then.

Not only developing Super Mario Bros, but Shigeru Miyamoto also involved in creating another popular game, The Legends of Zelda.

Appears in Donkey Kong Game

Uniquely, even though he’s popular via Nintendo’s Super Mario Bros game, but his first appearance was on the Donkey Kong game. Mario was called “Jumpman” because his duty is to jump, avoiding obstacles that thrown at him.

In this game, Mario is not a plumber, but instead a carpenter. The reason because this profession is suitable with the game’s setting, which is set on a construction site.

Transition into Plumber

Mario later appeared in Super Mario Bros. But this time, he appeared as a plumber, complete with his iconic red shirt and various tools strapped on his body.

The reason why Mario worked as a plumber turned out to be so simple. Like his inclusion as a carpenter in Donkey Kong, in Super Mario Bros, the plumber profession is more suitable than his previous work.

You can see many pipes and mushrooms on Super Mario Bros. There is a unique theory that those mushrooms exist because those pipes are dirty and never repaired.

It’s not a mistake that Shigeru Miyamoto, in the end, created Mario Bros as a plumber in the world of Super Mario Bross rather than as a carpenter.

Mario’s Various Professions

It turns out that Mario’s profession is only as a plumber. Mario is indeed identical with repairing pipes, but in other video games, he appeared with different occupations.

Other Mario’s professions in-game are go-kart racer, athlete, a CEO of a toy company, factory worker, soldier, to a baker.

So that’s the reason why Mario Bros created as a plumber. For more information regarding video games, stay tuned on Dunia Games.
