Classic Miyamoto interview reveals that Mario is 24-25 years old
Coming from a 2005 interview with Shigeru Miyamoto...
“I think it was fortuitous that we didn’t put any restrictions on Mario as a character. Normally when you create a character and present him to the world, all the details get filed in: what’s his favourite colour? what kind of food does he like to eat? Aside from the fact that he’s about 24-25 years old, we didn’t define anything else”.
I have to admit, I never really thought about Mario's age. That said, I don't know that I see him as a 25-year-old. He seems a bit older than that, doesn't he? Thanks to Gmansir for the heads up!
