Mario's character profile on the Nintendo website was recently updated, in which he is described as:
"All around sporty, whether it’s tennis or baseball, soccer or car racing, he [Mario] does everything cool. As a matter of fact, he also seems to have worked as a plumber a long time ago..."
The news that Mario is no longer a plumber became a "Twitter moment" with many fans shocked. Source article points out that back in 2010, Shigeru Miyamoto, who created games like Donkey Kong and Zelda, reminded people that Mario was actually 'basically a carpenter' in Donkey Kong . Mario became a plumber in 1983's Mario Bros.
