is not really a plumber at all but a video game character, although not just any video game character. As the lead character in the wildly successful Super Mario Bros. game franchise, Mario (the plumber) is purportedly the most famous character in video game history.
Wow. If only he were racing around unplugging clogs and fixing drips, imagine what he could do for the profile of us everyday guys!
Instead he and his brother Luigi are preoccupied with running around the Mushroom Kingdom (?) trying to stop the turtle-like villain Bowser's numerous plans to kidnap Princess Peach, destroy them and take over the kingdom. And Mario also has other enemies and rivals, including Donkey Kong and Wario -- so maybe it is understandable that he never does get around to actually doing any plumbing.
And for a little more Super Mario fun...

When I first read the title of this article, I thought of someone real that offers a plumbing service. But when I saw the pic, I was kind of surprise seeing whose this famous plumber. I agree Mario is the best and the most popular plumber ever.
