Marios Last Name Officially Revealed By Nintendo, And Its Not What You Think
It’s a well-known fact that Mario, the iconic video game character from the Super Mario Bros series, is one of the most beloved figures in the world of gaming. However, it turns out that there’s a shocking revelation about Mario that has been hidden in plain sight for decades: Marios last name is actually Kartly.
Mario’s Last Name Is Not Mario Mario
This bombshell of a discovery was made by none other than a dedicated fan who was given an officially licensed Build-A-Bear Mario doll as a gift from Nintendo. As the fan was putting the finishing touches on their new Mario plushie, they noticed something peculiar about the birth certificate that came with it.
Upon closer inspection, it became clear that Mario’s full name was actually “Mario Kartly,” and that he was born on a day in July (coincidentally, the same month as the release of the first Mario Kart game).
This revelation raises a multitude of questions, the most pressing of which is: why have we been calling Mario by the wrong last name for all these years? It turns out that the answer is actually quite simple.
Why Is Mario Kart Called Mario Kart And Not Mario Racing?
As it turns out, Mario’s last name, Kartly, is a direct reference to the kart racing gameplay that has become a hallmark of the Mario Kart series. This explains why the games are called Mario Kart, and not just plain old “Mario Racing” or “Super Karts.” This also may explain why Nintendo didn’t go with the original name for Mario Kart.
So there you have it, folks: the truth about Mario’s last name has finally been revealed, and it turns out that he’s been hiding in plain sight all along. Who knew that a Build-A-Bear doll could hold such important secrets?
What Else Is New With Super Mario?
Even more shocking than Mario’s last name not being Mario Mario, is that David Cross will be playing Luigi in the upcoming live-action Super Mario Bros Movie.
