Other games make passing references to Mario’s possible age that absolutely contradict that 24-25 estimate. It’s not that big of an age difference from the 24-25 range Miyamoto suggested, but given that it’s apparently one of the few things about Mario the company has defined, it’s certainly interesting that there would be any variation in his age. Melee, it’s suggested that Mario is actually 26. Nintendo Games Are Inconsistent About Mario’s AgeĪnyone who has tried to keep up with The Legend of Zelda‘s timeline probably won’t be too surprised to learn that Nintendo has been somewhat…inconsistent with Mario’s age over the years.įor instance, in Super Smash Bros. Again, though, That’s really just a matter of Mario “the creation’s” birth date vs.
Actually, if you want to use those releases as a metric, you could say that Mario was “born” in 1981 when Donkey Kong was developed and released (even if the character in that game wasn’t originally named Mario). Besides, Mario previously appeared in both Mario Bros. However, Nintendo typically just treats that day as the anniversary of that game and the Super Mario franchise. Some fans also suggest that Mario’s birthday could be September 13: the day that Super Mario Bros. Nintendo acknowledges the day, but it doesn’t seem to be “canon.” The first popular theory is that Mario’s birthday is on March 10, aka “Mar10 Day.” However, the concept of Mario Day appears to have been created by fans who wanted to celebrate Mario and couldn’t pass up the chance to use such a clever date to do so.

Shigeru Miyamoto Says Mario Is 24-25 Years Old…Wait, What? I can’t guarantee that looking into this subject will offer an answer that you’ll be satisfied with, but if you’re just interested in diving deeper into this particular rabbit hole, here’s a slightly more exhaustive attempt to answer a question that has proven to be much more complicated than you’d ever guess it would be.
It’s easy to answer that question if you’re talking about the Super Mario franchise or even the birth of the character from a creation standpoint, but when you’re trying to figure out how old Mario is in the Super Mario universe and the grand Nintendo chronology…well, that’s where things get tricky.
