#6 – Mario Once Had A Different Career
These days it is pretty much taken for granted that our beloved Super Mario is, or at least was, a plumber. After all since the very first Super Mario Bros game he has been climbing down and jumping up pipes. But actually before he went to the Mushroom Kingdom he had a very different job.
The first appearance of Super Mario was in the arcade classic Donkey Kong. And in this game Mario was not a plumber instead he was a carpenter. This part of Mario’s CV is often overlooked these days. Who knows maybe when he was a carpenter he also did a little moonlighting as a plumber as well.
