| | Mario - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Mario is depicted as a somewhat short, pudgy, Italian plumber who lives in the Mushroom Kingdom, where he is regarded as a hero; he is best known for constantly thwarting the plans of the evil King Bowser to kidnap Princess Peach and subjugate the Mushroom Kingdom. |
 | | Mario's name in Donkey Kong, "Jumpman", was changed to "Mario" in the arcade game Mario Bros. His namesake was Mario Segali, the landlord of Nintendo of America, who barged in on a meeting in the company's Redmond, WA facility to demand an overdue rent payment. |
 | | Mario considers himself the biggest fan of former WWE wrestler Captain Lou Albano (another inside joke since Albano himself was the one who portrayed Mario in the live action segments and provided his voice in the cartoon). |
