I was talking to my girlfriend tonight, and the following conversation just went down:
GF: Did you see they have the new promotion at 7-11 for the Hello Kitty products?
FCG: Yeah, I wish they would have some promotions with Mario or something. They just did a Hello Kitty promotion two or three months ago.
GF: But Mario's not popular here.
FCG: Why not? He still seems to have a following in Japan. I remember hearing they had the coffee promotion there.
GF: Hmm, I'm not sure. Well, Mario's a Mexican, right?
FGC: Um no, he's Italian.
GF: Oh...I thought he was a Mexican. And then there is Princess Peach. I never really liked her. She seemed like the type of girl that would bully you in high school.
FCG: Oh you mean because she is a blonde, er, or a red head.
GF: Yeah, she is a blonde.
FCG: But in many pics she is portrayed as a redhead.
GF: How is that?
FCG: I don't know, maybe she dyes her hair.
GF: Wait a minute, so she gets to be in a dungeon, and she also has the ability to dye her hair?!?! Where does she live, anyway?
FCG: She lives in the Mushroom Kingdom.
GF: Oh, Mushroom Kingdom. So, why does Mario like her then? Why does he like Peach?
FCG/GF (thinking together): Oh no, Mario doesn't like girls with yeast infections, I hope. Ewwwww.
GF: And tell me about Luigi. Who is he, Mario's friend?
FCG: Well he is Mario's brother. That is why they are called the Mario Bros.
GF: Ohhhhh. I thought they were called "bros" like when you go to friends and call them your "bros".
FCG: Oh, haha, it's because they are brothers.
GF: Yeah, and then there are the new characters added for the Mario Kart game. There is that mushroom with a diaper, and an egg, and the green guy and...
FCG: I used to like playing Mario Kart with my brother. We always played that game. When did you play it?
GF: I played it on the DS.
FCG: Well I played the TV version.
GF: Oh, you mean the X Box version?
FCG: Err...well...yeah, something like that.

I really learned so many new facts about Mario during this conversation.
Truth? Lol.
Haha I love these! My GF also thinks this is funny stuff. Girls... :)
That's pretty funny haha. My wife's friend (who were living with at the moment) 's son thinks Mario is Mexican as well. I told him "no, he's Italian" and he said "well he has a Mexican mustache."
When I was like 3 or 4 years old, when I played my first Nintendo game Mario Kart 64, my dad and I thought when he said "Let's-a-go!" it was actually "Mex-i-co!".

My brother and I also thought that, for the longest time ;)
Haha well he seems to become a mexican at one point in the Super Mario Bros: Peach-hime Kyushutsu Daisakusen! movie.

I also thought he was Mexican! lol... :mario:
I weep for humanity. My wife also thought Mario was Mexican, and specifically during Mario Kart 64 thought he said "Mexico!" and "Let's-a go!" :mario:
