Much like the popularity of the character, they probably see Mario as something close to immortal. As such, the consistent design of the character is probably more important to them than this quote Miyamoto gave years ago. The first, and most likely, is that this is honestly one of those things that Nintendo doesn’t really care about and hasn’t put too much thought into. So far as that goes, there are a few possible explanations. We’ll dive into the various reasons your doubt is justified here in a bit, but let’s start with the fact that Mario certainly doesn’t look like he’s 24-25. Like the rest of the world, you’re probably raising an eyebrow at that suggestion. In a 2005 interview first published on Nintendo Japan’s website, Mario creator Shigeru Miyamoto stated that Nintendo didn’t really “put any restrictions on Mario as a character” aside from the fact that “he’s about 24-25 years old.” Let’s start with what is one of the only “direct” pieces of information we have on the subject of Mario’s age. Shigeru Miyamoto Says Mario Is 24-25 Years Old…Wait, What? I can’t guarantee that looking into this subject will offer an answer that you’ll be satisfied with, but if you’re just interested in diving deeper into this particular rabbit hole, here’s a slightly more exhaustive attempt to answer a question that has proven to be much more complicated than you’d ever guess it would be. It’s easy to answer that question if you’re talking about the Super Mario franchise or even the birth of the character from a creation standpoint, but when you’re trying to figure out how old Mario is in the Super Mario universe and the grand Nintendo chronology…well, that’s where things get tricky. While it sometimes feels like Mario has always been with us and will remain a video game mainstay for years to come, the character’s remarkable longevity does nothing to answer that question that has plagued us for over 35 years: “How old is Mario?” As the years go on, one of the few consistents in gaming remains Mario and the quality of most of the major Super Mario Bros.
