In a whimsical interview with IGN, Bob Odenkirk shared his farcical intentions about Mario, stating, “I’ll tear that moustache off his face, jam it down his throat, take those goggles, rip ’em to pieces and stab him with those.” Odenkirk humorously claimed he might use Mario’s own goggles as a weapon, insisting, “It’s gonna be bloody.”

Odenkirk, promoting his movie Nobody 2, typically reviews images of fictional characters, determining if he could defeat them in combat. His outlandish remarks included a disdain for Mario’s innocent smile, suggesting it’s simply too adorable for his taste.

Relatedly, he mentioned he would gladly eliminate other pop culture icons but would spare Kevin McAllister from Home Alone. To date, Nintendo hasn’t responded to Odenkirk’s cheeky threats.
