MARIO HAS A LAST NAME ?

One of the most famous duo in the digital world, Mario and Luigi, 'The Mario Brothers'. 'Super Mario Brothers' if you want to be amped up. Two Italian Plumbers who apparently chose to save a fantasy realm full of sewer pipes, mushroom people and turtles, instead of making money plumbing. Come on guys there are bills to pay.

Where it is not too strange for floating stars to grant limited times crazy music driven invincible power; mushrooms making you double in size breaking floating walls; and let us not forget firepower which is kind of intimidating if you are a mindless minion shuffling back and forth in enclosed area. Did you know that Mario is older than Luigi? Crazy. Luigi seems to be the only common sense of the two, but still he follows big brother anyway. Luigi is taller after all. Come on, stand up to Mario already.

Is Mario really the last name? Was Mario's parent that lazy in naming him. My theory, he and Luigi changed their name. The original is dumber. Before his own franchise, Mario had to begin in the 1981 video game hit, 'Donkey Kong'. In his first appearance, Mario is referred to as 'Jumpman'. Not even a first name unless that was his first name. I am confused. It was written on the cabinet instructions of how to play the game. Right on the screen sides for everyone to see. Jumpman, must be his last name? Mario Jumpman? Does not sound very Italian. So Luigi would be Luigi Jumpman. Again better than being called Mario Mario and Luigi Mario. Luigi Mario sounds like a lovely dish though. Not a fan that. Not a fan of the character's 'last' name, but okay as a dish.


Just not at all creative nor original! Granted Jumpman is not very good either. 'The Jumpman Brothers' or 'Super Jumpman Brothers', sounds like a very weird hopping game or a hip hop group from the future.
