Being a member of the royal court pays obviously far better than being a plumber.

So who do they call when Peach has the mushroom bean quesadilla at Applebee's and the upstairs toilet at the castle gets clogged up?

The job market is rough, man.

Well he's done everything the hell else. Athlete, doctor, pilot, carpenter, not to mention all the times he's saved the princess for a cake.

At least this means Mario has more time to venture out into the brighter areas of the world now that he's done fixing [Warp] pipes. Wink

Eh - he's still a plumber. Though it's about time he became a prince.

And/or a kiss, depending on which game you're playing. Wink

Go-Kart racer, Astronaut, even Actor if the Mario 3 Stage Play theory is to be believed. The man has built up quite the resume.

Personally, I've always just liked the idea that he always went back to plumbing because he's just a chill, down to earth guy who likes what he does. Kind of like Superman in a weird way.

Except Mario isn't actually a member of Peach's Court.

Was there any game in the franchise where he was actually shown doing a plumbing activity?

I believe he and Luigi fix a Warp Pipe at the start of 3D World. That's as close as it's come to my knowledge.

When did he get married to Peach? So what is he? Adventurer? A Playboy/Trouble Shooter? a Knight?

I think messing with his background may backfire. Oh well, it's just a game character.
