Nintendo made it official via their website recently that showed Mario’s profile.
In the image below it says “実は昔、「配管工」のお仕事もしていたこともあるらしい……。” and this roughly translates to something like “Actually, there seems to have been work as a plumber a long time ago”. Before that, it mentions how Mario has done different things of late, and honestly this move to not being a plumber makes a lot of sense. The wording makes it sounds like he’s forgotten his work as a plumber almost entirely. This is what happens when you do too many magic mushrooms kids. Ultimately, I doubt Mario has cleaned any pipes of late…
