Ok get this, mario is not a doctor, or a plumber. He is an actor. All the mario characters are. The games are basically in universe “movies” and they just are all famous actors of their world. In factors most of the main line series are remakes of the same movie, which is why bowser kidnaps peach so much.
So this is basically like the movie junior where Arnold Schwarzenegger played a scientist.
In fairness, We’ve known the guy since 1981. Between then and 1990 is more than enough time to get medically certified. Naturally the expenses of doing so would be high, so he took on multiple jobs in the meantime to help pay the money he owed. He bounced between stuff like construction worker and ape tamer but plumbing was the most stable and he spent the bulk of the 80’s doing that.
A person can work to jobs and Mario has been practising medicine for 32 years now. Even if he didn’t know how to practice medicine then he deffinently knows by now.
I saw a theory the other day that dr. Mario is actually Mario and Luigi’s dad since dr. Mario is a different character in smash and not just a skin for mario and honestly it make sense.
Dr. Mario was just your standard 80s/90s Doc. Give them a few pills and send them on their way. Get a few kickbacks from the pill manufacturers, get arrested, go to prison, join the fight club.
According to the game manual, he was working in a virus research laboratory when one of his experiments went wrong and the viruses started spreading rapidly. The game also makes no sense for the fact that the viruses are aliens? If you beat the game you get a cinematic of the viruses sitting peacefully on a tree and as the sun sets, a space ship flies in and beams them up…..So there are more issues here than Marios medical license haha
Plumbers can make some good money. Probably paid his way through Med school with plumbing in-between saving the princess and having a dedicated exercise and sports regimen. What a hero.
Plumbers with paying hobbies.
“Against a **plumber**. Oh, and an architect. Both with a **PhD**!”
I’m not a doctor, but I’ll take a look
Maybe he was working as a plumber to pay his way through medical school.
Because you are legally required to be unemployed while going to med school…
Are there any duck characters in any of the Dr. Mario games?
But who’s to say that 7 years didn’t pass in *Mario’s* world. Or that it’s not a multiverse, which based on Smash Bros we know it is.
Maybe he is Phd. in plumbing thus called Doctor
Doctor Mario isn’t Mario Mario, Doctor Mario is Mario and Luigi’s dad.
The lore reason for this is great.

Why couldn’t he have had his Phd first than be a plumber for a year while his “office” was being build ?
He has a doctorate in plumbing, the pills are toilet bowl cleaner.
You would never know, because the first rule about fight club is don’t talk about fight club.

I see absolutely nothing wrong here.
Mario became a plumber in 1983’s Mario Bros.
1990 – 1983 = 7.
Mario is actually allowed to be a doctor.
I mean he was essentially only throwing pills around. The warning signs were there!
Aren’t they canonically different characters?
Maybe he only worked as a plumber to pay his way through medical school?
That is assuming he hasn’t already got his certificate **before** 1989.
Moron u met him as a plumber in his last year of med school.
If at least he went to be an obgyn then plumbing would have made sense.
Dr.Mario is actually Mario’s dad
I thought something was off, the dude kept prescribing mushrooms for my joint pain… and he kept trying to stomp on my pet turtle…

if the man doesn’t respect medical licensure i don’t know why you’d expect him to respect plumbing licensure either
Still a better doctor than Mehmet.
Dr Mario give me pills for a back pain. I’m now a giant mushroom. Can I still claim?
before being a plumber, he was a general contractor. i just see him trying to improve his life.

r/noctor
This is outrageous and disgusting
Jokes on you Dr Mario is Mario Mario and Luigi Marios’ dad
What do u mean?! The stuff he prescribes me is the bomb!
He did plumbing part time to support his medical career
Mario sues for slander. He was plumbing to work his way through med school. He busted his butt for years doing school and work.
He just got RPL from his plumbing degree and transferred it into a medical degree.

He was a plumber on the side so he could survive med school.
no one said he was a good doctor
Mario is a family name.
Who needs a medical license when you’ve got style?
I knew there was something wrong with that prostate exam
Dr. Mario is actually a cousin of Mario Mario
“started a fight club”. There, fixed it for you.

Bro dr mario is his father
He went to school part time during his plumbing career
Well, it’s a different universe world.
