The Mario Family as explained by Japanese 1st graders

Murray3 | February 21, 2008 | Blog | Wii

The English teacher of a Japanese school was teaching the students about family structure using Mario as an example, oddly when asked who Mario's brother was the first answer was Wario followed by Waluigi, and not long after Luigi Peach was called.
Hate to see evolution, will Wart will evolve into a Koopa and DK into a Ukiki?

According to my students, I learned the following:

1. Mini Koopa is Marios brother, stepbrother or cousin.
2. How height of someone is directly proportional to how old they are.
3. Marios father (or uncle) often kidnaps his own daughter (or niece).
4. It is up to Mario to constantly defeat his father (or uncle) to win the love of his sister.
5. Mario is possibly romantically involved with his sister.
6. Mario has an evil brother.
7. No one knows who Waluigi is, but he hangs out with the family at most parties.

  Haha, too true. I find these hilarious, a bit sick that they'd think of a brother being in love with his sister, though. xD

Some japanese people think they're more intelligent than the rest of the world, simply for being japanese, I think this sets them down a notch.
