according to wikipedia
"The largest wave of Italian immigration to the United States took place in the late 19th century and early 20th century. Between 1820 and 1978, 5.3 million Italians immigrated to the United States, including over two million between 1900 and 1910."
the first super mario bros came out in 1985, so if we put the bros ages at that age 25 that every adult man in a cartoon that isnt like a dad or old is assigned by fandom, they'd be born around 1960, so theoretically it actually can line up, like bros age 12 its still the 1970s
and for whatever its worth mario segale i think was his last name,the guy mario was named after (nintendo of america's landlord at the time) was actually born in america (tho both of his parents were italian immigrats) but i mean thats not worth much than trivia points
i have way more trivia points than i know what to do with so i just needed to pass along the knowledge

.................
on a completely and entirely unrelated note you ever realize how much ectremely random information and trivia you learn from hyperfixating on silly viddy game characters???

Man. I love fun trivia like that
And honestly, what better excuse to learn neat new things than having it apply to whatever cool new thing you're obsessed with?
Stuff like that makes learning fun!
#i had an absolutely WILD and fun time looking up what pop culture movies were like. relevant and released during the eighties#as fun lil background nods in at least one fic#and then also to find out if 'furry' was a known term in the eighties and it was!!#so that was neat#but then like a couple months later i remembered a rather big and tragic bit of history that was going on in the eighties#specifically in la and nyc and man....lemme me tell you...doing a polar plunge would have been less sobering...
