Pixelitis Picks: Mario’s most awe-inspiring jobs

Mario has quite an impractical resume for a plumber. While one would expect trade skills and safety procedure certification to highlight a plumber’s past work experience, Mario has extensive princess saving experience. And professional kart racing skills. Not to mention his more recent stints as an intergalactic astronaut.

In fact, just about every one of his vast array of jobs is much more glamorous than plumbing.

This weekend marks the release of New Super Mario Bros. 2 in North America, and once again Mario will be to putting his impressive Peach rescuing skills to the test. Along the way, it appears he’ll be collecting a million coins. With that much money, Mario might be able to retire comfortably from his plumbing, racing, painting, tennis, basketball, soccer and Olympic careers.

To celebrate his possible retirement, below are our favorite jobs we’ve helped Mario work.

My top 3 are Mario 3, Mario World and Mario 64. Mario Odyssey is also excellent, and I enjoyed Sunshine but didn't care for the Galaxy series.

Am I missing something? It looks exactly the same, just higher resolution… Is this sarcasm?

specialguest326d ago

Yes, you're not observant if you think it looks exactly the same. It immediately appeared different to me from the start. Mario's 3D model will always be the same, so not much difference there. However, the animation they've given the Super Mario Wonder makes it look more like a CGI Mario animation where as the New Mario Bros game looks more like typical video game animation movements

@specialguest Yeah those animations are insane.

FinalFantasyFanatic326d ago

You really didn't notice the difference? It's really obvious, I was surprised when I first saw the trailer.

"Am I missing something?"

Your glasses maybe?

This Mario game looks great, getting a switch for this and Mario RPG. CANT WAIT, TITS JACKED.

Profchaos325d ago

Yeah I liked how much more emotion could be conveyed through the new style at first glance I didn't see much difference but then rewatching the trailer I'm seeing more and more animations that remind me of the Mario artwork from the manual of smb3

Outlawzz325d ago

I hated the new super Mario bros Style. This new one seems a lot more expressive and less generic. I hope it's a good game

shinoff2183325d ago
