Well, he doesn't have any games about him plumbing recently, so no biggy. And no, going pipes to explore is not plumbing, or else we'd call every lost child that wanders into the sewer tunnels plumbers in various media.

Given that he spends all of his time fighting giant mushrooms and turtles, I'm not entirely sure Mario has a job at all. However, even with his problems, he's still more reliable than most real plumbers...

Also, "Big N" sounds racist.

An announcement which basically acknowledged she was a cat while saying she wasn't one, leaving more questions than it answered.

They aren't saying he was never a plumber, they are saying that he isn't still one, which should be obvious to everyone. It's a job he used to have, and has since moved on from.

The explanation makes sense, what with him technically being a carpenter in Donkey Kong and having done more or less everything but plumbing for quite some time.
I do feel a little sad that they felt the need to actually clarify this and change the identity, it's not like we were all clamoring for more plumbing themes so it feels like they're just hurting the brand by actually going out of their way with a convoluted justification, just let him be Mario.
Sidenote-no matter what they tell me he is, I would never trust his medical opinion.

I would argue that he was merely running a dispensary in those games, so he's a pharmacist at best. He was handing out the meds, we were the ones applying them to the problem areas.
Perhaps we were actually the body, disseminating the drugs?
Maybe he was merely a drug rep and they were samples?

Paper Mario

I think it was Partners in Time in which part of the story is going into a basement of a castle and fixing the pipes.

Literally the first thing he does in 3D World is repair a broken pipe.

In the article linked to in the first post, someone asked, "have any of the Mario games had a scene involving Mario doing actual plumber stuff?" (or a similar question.)

Well, not Mario, but Luigi did during Luigi's Mansion - he unclogs a toilet with a vacuum cleaner.

As you can see, he was just throwing pills (or vitamins) into a bottle. Of course, he was dressed like a medical doctor.

Well, at first he was a carpenter trying to save his 'girlfriend' in Donkey Kong (unnamed then), then in 'Mario Bros.' him and Luigi had to 'unclog' pipes in the sewers in NYC of critters.

So yea, I would think you would call a 'plumber' to get any weird 'creatures' or 'animals' stuck in your toilet or sink pipes.
