It's amazing that there was a time where Nintendo really leaned hard on the whole "Mario is a blue-collar worker living paycheck to paycheck in the inner city" thing. While the Mario of modern times hangs out on golf courses and tennis courts, the Mario of the 80's smashes concrete walls and scrambles to finish a building demolition project before his foreman comes and steals his wages in the bonus rounds. Fame has changed Mario. He no longer remembers the city that raised him.
