Now he’s on his way to becoming a true pro Mario Kart racer!

24. Why can’t Mario tell the difference between a frog and a dog? Because they both say “ribbit” to him!

Poor Mario just can’t seem to distinguish frogs from dogs. No matter how many times Luigi patiently explains that frogs ribbit and dogs bark, Mario gets confused.

I guess you can take Mario out of the plumbing world, but you can’t take the plumber out of Mario!

26. Why can’t Mario tell time? He’s stuck in the Mushroom Kingdom!

Poor Mario has no concept of time whatsoever. Minutes, hours, days – it’s all a blur in the magical Mushroom Kingdom!

Whatever the reason, Mario is happily oblivious, telling time only by his grumbling stomach!

27. Why did Mario start smoking? To help spot where the Princess is when she’s in another castle!

28. Why can’t ghosts haunt Mario? Because he lives in a no-boo neighborhood!

Mario doesn’t have to worry about ghosts spooking and scaring him in the middle of the night. Why not? Because he lives in a strict no-boo neighborhood!
