Their parents were Toads. They are human.
Mario games, ladies and gentlemen.

The Mario games, at least the early ones, seem riddled with drug references. That's just how I take it. Anyone could attack my theory multiple times, but that's just how I've regarded that piece of media.

Oh, and don't think of me as a huge stoner, I just think maybe some Nintendo employees were "partying" a bit before one of their brain-storming sessions back in the early 1980s. Eh?

Actually it was Alice in Wonderland references. I don't think Miyamoto knew that Alice in Wonderland was a drug reference.

Well I think we can all agree that Alice in Wonderland was a drug reference. A caterpillar is actually smoking a hookah in chapter five.

"The Caterpillar and Alice looked at each other for some time in silence: at last the Caterpillar took the hookah out of its mouth, and addressed her in a languid sleepy voice. "

That's direct from the text, people!

Well, it's not like Alice in Wonderland is promoting drugs, I'd say it's more of a visualization of the dangers of drugs. Plus, little children aren't going to pick up on the symbolism.

Alice in Wonderland wasn't really a children's story at it's core. It's intentions were really political satire.

Same with most Dr. Suess stories.

Well I'm thinking since ther are enimies in The mushroom kingdom, such as goombas, have killed most of the people in the mushroom kingdom.

It's Possible. But maybe their parents died so they were adopted?
I have no clue.

lol hard to belive this is 95 pages long. Well now how did this change from Mario's parent's to drugs?! Well anyways this is kinda strange becuase right now nintendo has 2 diffrent places that Mario was born at.

1. the Mushroom Kingdom

2. Broklin (spell't wrong i think)

in the Yoshi's island games it says Mario was born in the Mushroom Kingdom with 2 Toad's for parents.
But in the older mario games it says that Mario was from Broklin and found a way to the Mushroom Kingdom from a pipe. So i think that Nintnedo wants us to belive the Yoshi's island one's since thier more new then the other story. Well anyways it dosent really matter to me where he's from as long as Nintendo keeps up with the good work that's all i care about :)

Actually, none of the games ever support the Brooklyn theory.

Huh i thought someone told me that that was the story for the older Mario games. Like Donkey Kong and Mario Bros and Super Mario Bros. I guess i was off for the Super Mario Bros one O_o
