I don't think Nintendo ever said Mario was a plumber. People just thought that because he went in pipes, I guess.

He's a plumber so they could have an excuse for having pipes in the games.

He (Mario) was based, in part on the Nintendo warehouse superintendant(sp?), or something like that, wasn't he?

Talking about Mario,Shigeru never created him.
There was a show called "The Mario Brothers"
that was on in 1979...well thats what i heard from my dad.
Shigeru bought Mario from the creators so he could use them in games.

HAHAHAHHAAHHAHAHAHAHAH
BLASPHEMY!
Mario first appeared when Shigeru Miyamoto single-handedly made him in Donkey Kong. His name was Jumpman. He reappeared next in Mario Bros., where his name had since been changed to Mario, after the Nintendo building's landlord. Super Mario Bros. Super Show came out later.

PKB, The show you're thinking of, most likely has nothing to do with the Mario Brothers we know and love. Mario was named after mario segali, nintendo of america's landlord(or something). He looks the way he does becuase it was convenient to make him look that way. He had a big nose so people would notice he had a nose and he had overalls so that his arms would be visible.
I believe he was a carpenter in donkey kong (can't remember where I heard/read that, though), and a plumber in Mario bros. Thats why the whole thing takes place in a sewer.

The world would be a much cleaner place if people would eat their own trash.

Mario was named after Mario Segali.
Yes, Jumpman was a carpenter. Then he was Mario, and still a carpenter, and then he changed to a plumber in Mario Bros.
