In the second episode of Send Your Letters to Mario, Nintendo’s chief mascot explains why he appreciates his friends as a response to a fan question. In his answer, Mario refers to Princess Peach and Pauline as his friends, who he says he loves because they help him find valuable items, such as Power Moons in Super Mario Odyssey. If you have questions for Mario, you can email him directly at Mario@noa.nintendo.com. You can check out episode 2 of Send Your Letters to Mario in the video below:
Only cause he was painfully friend zoned by both of them.
Also I didn’t even know this SYLTM was a thing
I don’t know, Pauline seems to like him more than a friend the way she gets on around him.
Peach, of she deserves to be friendzoned!
Not even a 1-Up could bring his heart back from that
it saddens me that straight people lack the perspective to recognise that mario is obviously gay
fuck that
rofl
wut
It didn’t look that way at the end of Odyssey…
(MILD ODYSSEY SPOILER)
So… When he proposed to Peach at the end of Odyssey, he did it as a platonic friend?
And I always liked the theory that the original Jumpman and original Pauline are Mario’s parents. She’s obviously not the same red headed Pauline, no matter what Odyssey implies. After all Mario is only in his mid twenties thirty six years after the original Donky Kong game. And black haired Pauline is obviously not in her fifties.
Want more proof?

I can honestly never take MatPat seriously, he’s come up with way too much nonsense for me to even bother looking at any of his videos. The amount of people that argued with me about “Link being dead in Majora’s Mask” is entirely too much.
Not to mention this is a kid video games made for kids the characters never actually age
“I can honestly never take MatPat seriously, he’s come up with way too much nonsense for me to even bother looking at any of his videos. The amount of people that argued with me about “Link being dead in Majora’s Mask” is entirely too much.”
This. A thousand times, this.
To deal with the tangent first, for every piece of evidence that lets you imagine link is dead in MM, there’s three pieces of evidence that directly state the opposite.
As for this nonsense, he’s starting with a fundamentally faulty premise before he says a single word. He’s incorrectly assuming Mario is a series with true continuity. He’s more akin to Mickey Mouse. Like Mickey Mouse cartoons, Mario games are created anew every time from the ground up with little regard for what happened before or what will happen in the future. There is no creator intent of any continuity at all. What *tiny* amount there is, is merely a device for setting up that one game. Not to be taken seriously or ever discussed again. This is why Pauline is different in Odyssey. It’s not that there’s a vast and convoluted continuity. It’s that there’s no continuity at all. Of course, MatPat knows this, but it doesn’t stop his fans from being 100% serious in repeating the nonsense.
The same is sadly true for 90% of Zelda games. They were never constructed to be one big contiguous story. No attempt to fit them into a timeline can ever make sense, because their differences make them hopelessly irreconcilable. The only reason the series has a timeline now is constant fan demand. Not that this continuity *matters* at all. The previous stories never effect the new stories. It’s more a pretend continuity Nintendo made for fans who refuse to accept the genre they’re playing. Not that I blame them. I would rather Zelda be a contiguous story myself.
I’ve seen some of the dead Link stuff, and it’s an interesting interpretive lens to enjoy the game through, but arguing for definitive authorial intent without the author involved is not only impossible, it’s a waste of time. If a specific interpretation is useful to you and enhances your experience, then its worthwhile.
Yeah, people need to understand that they don’t HAVE to take those videos seriously xP
Then why, pray tell,
MARIO ODYSSEY SPOILERS INCOMING

why did he offer Peach a flower to compete against Bowser and his piranha plant in the ending of Odyssey? That is not something one does as a friend.

It just does not add up.
Well, after being turned down, the sane reaction is to continue being just friends.
That’s because Bowser annoyed her to the point to say “screw this”
Article title is misleading.
So he just outright friend zoned both of them? How cruel.
What about Rosalina then?
EVERYONE wants her.
Good question and I personally prefer her. ;3
me too
This sort of answers something I was wondering about Odyssey. And it takes away some of my anticipation for playing it. But I don’t want to explain what I mean, because I don’t want to know anything about the game.
Mario likes both Princess Peach and Pauline as “friends”? That really validates the other Mario shippings out there. Perhaps they have a chance?
Mario + Birdo is a go!
OMFGROFLMBO Poor Yoshi XD
||This nonsense doesnt help The First Order or Nintendo in any way…||
So the former Empire cares about Nintendo instead of the Resistance? XD
||The Resistance is nothing but a bunch of pretendos that need to be purged like the Xbot disease…||
Don’t you think I didn’t know that? lol Also, who will be The Last Jedi? Samus? lol
Mario is a player…he knows what he’s doing.
Player 1, just to put it out there. ;D Poor mama Luigi.
“Player 1, just to put it out there. ;D Poor mama Luigi.”
I take this message as a declaration of Mario’s intent on Daisy. Poor Luigi indeed.
Luigi only saved his bro. No princesses at all. XD
We all know he frequents Rogueport in his spare time to get a piece of that sweet, sweet Goombella action.
Oh he’ll “eat her up” and “power up” alright. X3
Who gives a f..k?
Mario games where always about gameplay. Not story.
You’re here talking about it so… lol
Oh, yeah because that makes total sense…
Fool’s day is in April guy’s, sheesh.
Oh good. For a second there, I thought you where serious.
CLICKBAIT! The question was about friends, so obviously they’d bring up major characters in the game that assist him.
Yeah. A friend…
(Spoilers)
Who he proposes to… Okay.
Pingback: Mario dice que ama a la Princesa Peach y a Pauline, pero como amigas
Wait, what about Daisy who he saved in Super Mario Land? Or Goombella from Thousand Year Door? XD
UMm different mario paper mario
Different Mario. Still the same Mario franchise and universe. XP
But it’s like different canon tho
Wait. They did make Goombella Canon in Odyssey. XP Not the same but it’s pink.
They did not make goombella canon the pink goombas are called goombette I mean this might mean that there is a goombella in the main Mario universe so let’s call it semi canon
He’s a beloved gay icon.
Cold hearted bastard forgot his own brother.
Ignore. That is all.
I call BS because I recall Mario trying to propose to Peach at the end of Super Mario Odyssey.
it’s because mario’s gay
Stop lying to yourself Mario, Pauline loves DK and Peach loves Bowser, big boys gets the hot girls.
Lots of backwards trash being promoted here. ^^
It’s amazing how people destroy things simply because they can.
Haha hahahaha hahahahahaha no.
But, then again, after being friendzoned HARD by Peach (Pauline still appears to like Mario more than friends), Mario wouldn’t lose the free cakes she bakes.
So, don’t get the girl, but get the food. I can get behind that. Beauty ends someday, hunger remais.
*remains
Laaame

Nintendo also stated that he wasn’t a plumber anymore, but Bowser calls him plumber(something?) in-game. Why aren’t the social media synced with those games?
