I was thinking about it, and as a plumber, Mario kind of sucks.  He doesn't do a LOT of plumbing in any of the Mario games at all, except by exploring the underbelly of pipes.  At least in Donkey Kong, when Mario was a carpenter, he used his hammer to bust barrels apart.  I've never seen Mario (as a plumber) fixing the Kingdom's water pressure, or unclogging a toilet with a snake.  Perhaps that's Bowser's big issue, he kidnaps Peach to get Mario's attention, but because Mario sucks as a plumber, Bowser's Keep/Castle can never get fixed and just has endlessly shitty plumbing.
 
All I'm saying is, Nintendo should make a new Mario game where Mario is a carpenter.  It'd be enjoyable just to install a door frame, or replace kitchen title, or carpenter things like that.
 
And I know Mario does use a hammer occasionally in his games, but honestly, if you're a plumber using a hammer the same size as you (Super Smash Bros.) then that's a sign of a terrible plumber.
 
And yes,  Ana Hurka-Robles (from Tested) said it best, Mario = Jesus Christ.

That's not a bad idea, Mario getting a vocational change.  Or even a Mario Plumber game where he drives around in a van and unclogs sinks.

I wonder if Mario ever needs to go see a chiropractor. As a plumber, he'd have to crouch, and bend over and  lie in awkward positions (I'm only slightly talking about sex now). But since he doesn't do that I guess he has no reason to go.

Dude, watch this. Two minutes in.
