Chances are that if you’ve playing video games for any period of time that you’re familiar with Nintendo’s most famous mascot, Mario. This portly plumber has saved Princess Peach, the world, a couple of galaxies, an island, and more over the past few decades and gamers everywhere love him for it. Whether it’s while playing one of his genre-defining platformers, getting into a bit of tennis, or just cruising around a race track, it’s difficult not to view this fellow as a hero.
However, when you step back and take a look at everything, Mario’s kind of a jerk. Don’t believe us? Take a look at these times where he totally proved it.
He dreamed up the entirety of Super Mario Bros. 2 knowing damn well it wasn’t what fans wanted.
That time he invited Princess Peach’s kidnapper to a party… 14Â times.
He’s turned Luigi into a rage-fueled maniac.
Didn’t have the decency to show up for Luigi’s game.
When he sent Yoshi to his death just so he can get a bit more height.
Mario goes on an epic RPG adventure on the SNES, brings along Bowser but no Luigi.
There was also that beautiful island getaway that Luigi wasn’t invited to.
Seriously, what is Mario’s deal with Luigi?
He drops penguins off of cliffs. Well… you control him, but he doesn’t make any effort to stop you.
He murders a ton of Goombas and Koopas. We get that their boss is a kidnapper, but they’re just trying to make a living.
Every single block he breaks is a frozen Mushroom Kingdom citizen.
He punches Yoshi in the back of the head to get him to attack.

Super Mario is an egomaniac.
That time he was the villain.
He surfs on the shells of his victims.
That time Mario unleashed a mad Chain Chomp into a peaceful park.
