Super Mario, the chubby little Italian Plumber whose height is 5 feet and 1 inch (1.54 m/154 cm) is one of the most loved animated characters of all time, as per reports

Mario is a character created by Japanese video game designer Shigeru Miyamoto.

This beloved Italian plumber's height has been called into question throughout the many games in this decades-long franchise, specifically when considering the massive proportions of the Mushroom Kingdom.

Nintendo's most iconic franchise, 'Mario' was first introduced to the world in the arcade classic 'Donkey Kong' in 1981.  Mario was just known as 'Jumpman' when he was initially released and not even by his first name.

For many years, Mario has been the star of more than 250 different games and has held a dozen different jobs. Mario's professional background includes work as a plumber, carpenter, professional racer, and Olympic athlete. In fact, his job history even surpasses that of Mattel's Barbie.

Super Mario and Luigi: Who is taller?

Super Mario's younger brother Luigi is 5 feet and 9 inches (1.75 m/175 cm), making him eight inches taller than his slightly older brother, as per Screen Rant.

Luigi is the kind-hearted yet cowardly younger fraternal twin brother of Mario, and frequently accompanies his brother as his sidekick.

While they don't look alike besides the mustaches, Mario Bros, (Mario and Luigi) is the most popular duo in animated video games. When Luigi was first released in 1983, all that separated him from Mario was a simple palette change.

Luigi later developed into his own persona with special skills that set him apart from his twin brother as the Mario universe grew.

Mario’s height compared to Princess Peach

Princess Peach is one of the main characters in the Super Mario franchise and the princess of the Mushroom Kingdom.  Her height is 5 feet 9 inches (1.75 m/175 cm), making her 8 inches taller than Super Mario, as per reports.

Peach first appeared in Super Mario Bros as the love interest of Mario and was created by Shigeru Miyamoto to be the damsel-in-distress throughout most Super Mario games.



 

She lives in her castle with numerous Toads who serve her faithfully.

The Koopa Troop is an organization commanded by the main antagonist Bowser in the Super Marios franchise. He is the arch nemesis of Mario and frequently attacks Princess Peaches' kingdom, which is often saved by Mario's actions.
