So, Mario is 30. Nintendo's iconic bouncing plumber has reached his third decade. But how much do we know about him when he isn't having adventures?
We know he's a plumber. We know he's Italian-American, and likes coins, and has a brother called Luigi... but that's about it.
Mario very kindly agreed to take us through an average day in his life - at last shedding light on this enigma of video gaming.

"Woo-hoo! It's a-me - Mario - in-a my little-a-bed! I'm a-havin' a dream-a about-a my a-brother Luigi. Stupid-a Luigi is-a-up-in-a-tree a-drinking a-shampoo. Silly-a-Luigi! Time to a-wake-a-up-a, Mario! You got a big-a-day ahead of you!"

"Uh-oh! This is-a-big-a job than I expected! They got a real-a-big-a-blockage of-a-da-poopee! They even-a-selling it for-a $1.99. Who's-a-gonna buy-a-that!? Not-a-me! Whoo-hoo!"

I'm-a-gonna kill them all! Every-a-last-one-of-a-them in-a-the-Mushroom Kingdom!'. And he says 'What are you even-a-talking about!? What-a-Mushroom-a-Kingdom?'"
5.25PM
"So I need a power-up a-pretty-a-fast, so I start-a-banging my-a-head against the bricks! But - uh-oh! - no power-up or a-coins come out of-a-the-bricks! And the pet-a-shop-a-man he says 'You're a-out-of-your-mind, a-buddy! You're are-a-seriously wrong-in-a-the-head', and he goes a-back-into-the-a-shop-a!". Mama mia! What a day!"
5.55PM
"So I-a-go-back-a-home, and I make-a-the-nice-a-bowl of mushrooms for my-a-dinner. Woo-hoo!"
7.18PM
"Good-a-night-a, everybody!"
