Originally a carpenter named Jumpman, this Italian plumber has gone on to become the most recognizable video game character of them all, starring in a veritable pantheon of titles like kart racing and sports. He has been voiced by Charles Martinet for nearly 20 years.
Ok, so the other day, me and one of my mates were talking about Mario, and I can't remember why it came up, but I mentioned he was a fat Italian plumber, and he said, "don't be so stupid, he's not Italian, he's Mexican". I laughed at him and told him he was wrong. So he asked me why he always says "Mexico" then. I was confused, I'd never heard Mario say "Mexico", so I asked him where, and he said he say's it tonnes in Super Mario 64. So we dust off the old N64, put SM 64 on, and when Mario says "lets-a-go" he says "see, I told you he says Mexico". Definitely a facepalm worthy moment.
When you say it was a "facepalm worthy moment", I trust you mean your palm meeting his face in a slapping motion. Because he definitely deserves it for that piece of gaming blasphemy.
Wow. Your friend must not be too bright, though I am not too bright either because I was assuming he was confusing "Itsa me, a Mario" with..."Itsa me, a Mexico" ...but I was obviously wrong. :P
