Aprofile for classic video game character and Nintendo mascot appeared on business networking site LinkedIn recently.

The profile, bearing the name Mario Bros., lists some of Mario’s key skills as plumbing, damsel rescuing and kart racing and lists him as residing in Brooklyn, N.Y.

“For the past 35 years I have been a proud Italian-American plumber who, along with my younger brother Luigi, have defeated creatures that have been coming from the sewers below New York City,” the profile’s summary read.

Mario lists an Associate’s degree in engineering from Brooklyn College and plumber training in his education, while his experience lists a number of games that he has appeared in from Donkey Kong to Super Mario Kart.
