While Mario has long been believed to be Italian thanks to his accent, there's evidence that he's💹 actually Japanese. The question of whether Super Mario is Italian or Japanese stems, of course, from the country where his💹 games are created, as well as the ideas that birthed the character.

Mario is an Italian plumber who resides in the Mushroom💹 Kingdom with his younger twin brother, Luigi. Their adventures generally center on rescuing Princess Peach from the villain Bowser while💹 using power-ups that give them different abilities. Lou Albano (The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!)
