With the possible exception of Roberto Benigni, Mario is the most popular fictional Italian in the world. To commemorate the release of Super Mario Galaxy and over 26 years of Mario, we’ve compiled some fascinating little-known facts about the portly plumber and his adventures in the Mushroom Kingdom. For each piece of trivia that you already knew, give yourself one point. For every one that you had never heard of before, deduct one point. Add up all your points at the end to see how your Mario knowledge ranks!
