I think the MK is on earth, and the time passage does not vary from ours. Like on The Simpsons, they have been around for almost 14 years, but Lisa is still as eight-years-old as when they started. As far as I'm concerned, they don't relly have a predetermined exact age. Although I don't really care or have any reason, I've always pictured them in their late 30's or early 40's.

The mushroom Kingdom is a world parallel to ours. Time is the same in both worlds, but it doesn't matter because it's a cartoon, and time doesn't pass.

I once wrote an e-mail to the mailbag about this...

It's a video game franchise. Just like TV shows, the characters do not really age. I simply picture Peach to be about 25 and the Marios in their thirties, and they do not age. All the games just seem to take place in the same year basically.

In Luigi's Mansion, E-Gadd says that he say a lad of 20 or so, meaning that Mario is probably around there. Luigi probably fits under there too. As for Peach, probably younger.

There is no proof other than SMW: Yoshi's Island that Mario and Luigi are twins. In most games is says that Mario is the older brother and there is no proof that they were born by a difference of minutes. The only reference to their age is the games that they first appeared in. So Mario has to be 2 years older than Luigi. No matter how old the game is supposed to make them look, Mario still has to be at least 2 years older because their first games are the only existing references.

So, by that reasoning, Mario would be an infant in Mario Bros., and Luigi would be a newborn.
That just doesn't work.

My brain does stupid things when Iâ€˜m not looking.

Wrong. I said no matter how old the game is supposed to make them look, Mario has to be 2 years older that Luigi. So that means that Mario and Luigi were made to look like adults in Mario Bros., but Mario has to be 2 years older because he was introduced first but as an adult. Luigi was introduced as an adult but 2 years later. So throughout their entire lives, Mario has had to be 2 years older.

That is the most illogical thing I've ever heard, and my friend once told me that she was worried about our making airplanes too big and risking making the earth fall. Take Paper Mario for example: By your logic, Koopa Koot is decades younger than mario, and Goombario was born on the same day as his parents ang grandparents. So little sence... so little.

I think that Yoshi's Island completely offset the entire age thingy between Mario and Luigi. I find that just as dumb as the fact that the movie says that Mario's full name is Mario Mario.

Super Mario Bros. look at it closely, they wouldnt be Mario Bros if their names didn't both have Mario in them.

Yes, he has a point.

Popple, Paper Mario is only one game. It proves nothing because every other game makes it clear that Mario is older. Also,â„¢ Mario RPGs always have one-timer characters that are made just for the game. Koopa Koot and Goombario are specificallly for Paper Mario and should not and do not play any role in determining Mario and Luigi's age. Mario RPGs always have one-timer characters that are made just for the game.

I'm sorry for reviving this topic, but I had to respond to Popple's post.

Does it ever specify how much older? I believe not. I was using Paper Mario as an example, and just because they don't play a major role in the games, it doesn't mean that your basis of logic was not meant for all video game characters. Luigi was introduced later than Mario was, but you don't believe that a person you meet after someone else is always years younger than the first no matter if they were born on the same date and have proof of it. Mario and Luigi are twins, Mario is a few minuits, give or take, older than Luigi, there is no proof against it and all proof that exists point's towards it. They were brought by the stork in the same bindle at the same time. What more evidence do you need? It takes one game to proove something, like how SMRPG proved that coins are used as currency in the Mushroom Kingdom, or how SMB3 prooved that there are Kings in the Mushroom Kingdom, not just one princess.

Let me away from this boulder!

To determine Mario's general age, all we have to do is take a look at Cranky (as Lonic hinted at). In that game, Cranky appeared to be in his late forties. Look at him now. He's got to be in his late sixties/early seventies. Mario was probably in his early twenties during the events of Donkey Kong. Since Cranky aged about twenty years, it's only logical to assume Mario did also. Therefore, we can reasonably believe that Mario is around forty. Notice that this theory does not take into account any varying time speeds that might occur between two dimensions, such as ours (Cranky's) and the Mushroom dimension's (Mario's).

It seems that Mario and Luigi haven't aged at all throughout the games, but the Kongs have. Therefore, they must live in different dimensions of the gaming world with different rules governing space-time. Who's to say Mario isn't 1,000 years old? Also consider that Yoshi doesn't seem to have aged at all from SMW2:YI to SMW, while Mario and Luigi have certainly aged quite a bit. So, when Mario, Yoshi, and Donkey Kong meet (in the original Donkey Kong, SSB, SSBM), they must cross dimensions out of their home worlds. This is all theoretical, of course, since they're all video game characters living in the world of Nintendo. :)
