Does his pose in this official promotional image do a good job of conveying Mario's character/personality in a graphic and illustrative sense?

People always loosely throw the term marketer around but this, this right here is a fucking Nintendo marketer lmao

Meh, throw the guy a bone.

The issue here is that it's too neutral. Ask yourself this: what situation would crop up that would cause Mario to stand like this, in a perfectly symmetrical fashion? He's an adventuring plumber/doctor/construction worker, yet you only possibly get the plumber part from this. Mario looks most Mario-like when he's doing something, whether it's working with his hammer, stomping on Goombas, breaking blocks, or even just sitting down and taking the wrench to a pipe.

No. It's bland as fuck.

I wonder what Luigi's feet smell like haha

It's as generic as possible, so yes.

I hate how the NSMB games and 3D Land games make Mario and co. look like action figures

It's alright. It's bland and generic I suppose. Funny enough, that's how NSMBWii felt. When its marketing a brand that people nowadays buy just because it's Mario does it matter?
You could have Mario doing anything and people would buy it.

His overalls look way too clean for that. In fact, Mario looks way too clean in general considering how much trekking he does.
yeah because his personality is literally nothing. Mario exists to be an icon of nintendo's game quality more than anything else.
>>337564512
Yes
>>337564512
Isn't that a promotional image for investors and marketers? It's not on a game cover or anything.

Mario technically does have a personality, but he's not allowed to show it because Ninty strives to make him as inoffensive as possible.
