His name is canonically Mario Mario. His brother is Luigi Mario.
What a wild fuckin movie
In that case, this is canonically a goomba:
And those Mario games with the little mushroom guys are just fanfiction.
I approve of this
That's not canon.
Edit: Out of curiosity, if you're downvoting me, are you downvoting because you disagree, or because the person meant it to be a joke? In the former case, it's both common sense and also Miyamoto said as much. In the latter case, there's no indication whatsoever that it's a joke, so would I have been wrong to "miss the joke"?
Knee-jerk, tribalistic reaction is dumb.
Oh no, you used Nintendo property to make a meme, get ready to get sued
You think Nintendo has trademarked the name Mario? Wouldn't surprise me if they tried.
Nintendo lawyers would sue us for the air we breathe if they could
Japanese name order is family first. So Itsumi is his family name
Also, strange to bring up name order at all when it has nothing to do with the joke they presented.
It makes me wonder if they badly retold a joke they heard where the original punchline was that his name was Mario Itsumi.
In Japan, Itsumi is actually a common name, either as a family name or as a girl's given name.
It's sue me, Mario
