If you were watching the Nintendo Direct and you know about Super Mario Lore, you should saw it.

For years, the fans of Mario we aknowledge that Mario, our favorite plumber, had a tribal tattoo in his shoulder, now is gone.

What happened? Did Mario just grew up from the streets? Or maybe SMO is a prequel? Thoughts?

Spoiler

Of course I'm joking, but is nice to discuss these things with you guys,
so try to play along would ya

 

[NESpowerhouse]

You know you can get tattoos removed, right?

That would mean that there must be some sort of tattoo economy in the Mushroom Kingdom, though.

 

[Nicky Ali]

Laser removal

It was a rough experience, but Mario managed to complete the course

 

[BGBW]

This is old news. We saw Mario's bare arms in Odyssey already.

The sombrero outfit has no sleeves.

 

[ItIsOkBro]

You know you can get tattoos removed, right?

but why did Mario get his tattoo removed?

was it a sore reminder of a love once lost?

 

[Giga Man]

It was a stamp tattoo, obviously. Mario isn't actually into real tattoos.

 

[sixteen-bit]

for comparison

 

[alr1ght]

Clearly a henna tattoo.

 

[Ninja Dom]

It was just a cheap transfer. Washed off in the shower.

 

[paragonpro]

He has nipples tho....

 

[luulubuu]

but why did Mario get his tattoo removed?

was it a sore reminder of a love once lost?

Also, where? Is Mario abusing his medical degree to get access to free tattoo removal?

 

[Ydelnae]

This just means that Tribal Mario happens further in the timeline.

Mario liked Nu Metal years ago, I guess and then tried to get rid of his only reminder of the shit tastes of his old self.

 

[Kyzer]

henna for the ad, he probably got paid hella

 

[brawly]

You never had one of those removable tribal tattoos as a kid? jmon

 

[Regiruler]

The ad canonically takes place after Mario Odyssey.

He gets the tattoo during the final boss.

 

[Smellycat]

lol I can't believe Nintendo put a tattoo on Mario

 

[Fuchs]

It depens on when Odyseey and Mario getting the tattoo are set in the timeline.

 

[Alienous]

I expected Mario to have hair on his chest, at least.

 

[SocksAndShoes]

Seeing Mario's nipples and toes is creeping me out.

 

[rSpooky]

in other news ...Seems he clearly shaves his chest.. But who does his back?

 

[FUNKNOWN iXi]

You should see the elephant ear tattoo he has on each thigh.

 

[chrisPjelly]

Mario also has canon nipples

Interesting...

Let's enhance a bit

Uhm...

Maybe this represents the battle with Bowser

You never had one of those removable tribal tattoos as a kid? jmon

That's impossible, those are small, this is half of Mario's arm

 

[L Thammy]

Didn't Mario Sunshine prove his tattoo non-canon? Or did it still have sleeves that were too long?

I am willing to use Mario's tribal tattoo as the blood sacrifice to make the Koopalings into Bowser's kids again.

Just wait till you see Kirby's feet

The tattoo was there, I know because he wont show it. But its also not fresh enough to care about swimming, so... SMS takes place AFTER SMO?

What happened in New Donk City?

Just wait till you see Kirby's feet

I'm notifying you that you have been reported and a mod will look into this unholy post.

 

[Busaiku]

The nipples are the big deal.

 

[Currygan]

Seeing Mario's nipples and toes is creeping me out.

You can actually see him half naked in Superstar Saga too

 

[MAtgS]

Galaxy ending reset. It messed with the entire timeline.

 

[nelo_inc]

He just got tired of it, not cool anymore! Spend an insane amount of coins to get it removed!!

No.

Super Mario Sunshine launched in 2002.

The Gameboy Advance SP launched in 2003

 

[Speedwagon]

That's probably just his twin brother

 

[robotrock]

Nintendo is so fucking stupid. How did they miss this?

 

[luulubuu]

Galaxy ending reset. It messed with the entire timeline.

MADE IN HEAVEN?!

 

[Busaiku]

Yeah, that Mario ceased to exist after Galaxy.

 

[RRockman]

It's almost as if....

He's HUMAN!


AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!

 

[luulubuu]

Yo if Mario has nipples you know what that means?


Mario is a mammal.

 

[L Thammy]

Now that we've seen shirtless Mario, we need to see shirtless Wario. I always imagined him full of crusted on secretions that he hasn't cleaned away, all faintly flavoured by his sweat. The moment his shirt comes off the whole room smells like mouldy garlic and onions.

 

[BasilZero]

I didnt know there was a lore based on a tattoo on mario.

 

[rtcn63]

Was this Nintentdo's answer to Coldsteel

 

[-shadow-]

for comparison

Mario having nipple kind of irks me.

 

[L Thammy]

Relevant to the discussion?

Spoiler

I have never seen this movie and can only assume it's terrible.

 

[omnislayer]

Mario having nipple kind of irks me.

It's confirmation that Princess Peach has nipples as well. (Assuming she is the same species of humanoid primate)

 

[Vanguard771]

for comparison

I really wish Mario had some chest hair. No way a man with such an illustrious mustache has a smooth chest.

 

[DoubleYou]

[BroggieDoge]

Fuck a dad bod it's all about Mario bod.

 

[120v]

the mario i know is a 40 something with a big ol beer belly. if there was ever a time to quit my job and sabbatical to some tibetan mountaintop it's now

 

[MTC100]

agreed. Nothing uncommon in game industry.

 

[WarRock]

Seriously.
