Oh sure, we all remember Mario, the scrappy Italian plumber who bounced his way into our hearts with his brother Luigi in such classics as the Super Mario Brothers series, Super Mario Kart, and a whole slew of various games for various Nintendo systems. But were we all over looking the obvious signs?

Oh, sure. He looks healthy, happy, but aren't we all denying the ultimate fact? Mario is of course, a drug addict. Look at the signs: Mario enjoys magic mushrooms, flowers, his best friend is a shroom! Mario is, unfortunately a big drug addict.

Drug-induced Hallucination?
Mario, is of course a great hero, but is that any excuse for his behavior. Suppose he were to have a fire flower flashback whilst driving in the Star Cup? He's a danger not only to the world, but to everyone around him. Of course, the biggest example is that fact that Mario2 was just a big dream.
I'm not attacking Mario, nay, I am trying to help him. I feel it would be in his best interest if everyone wrote him a letter of encouragement, and convinced all his Mushroom Kingdom friends to intervene on his behalf. It's only a matter of time before he moves to the heroin.
Just helping the War on Drugs.
