Video games' most recognizable red-and-blue-clad plumber isn't actually a plumber anymore.
Nintendo has updated Mario's profile, saying the mustachioed man "seems to have worked as a plumber a long time ago." Now, it says he prefers tennis, racing or anything "sporty."
The change was originally reported by video game website and blog Kotaku, which translated the original post on Nintendo's website from Japanese.

No word on whether Luigi's occupation will also be changing.
