> WHO IS MARIO? > > IMHO the most unlikely of all. Heh. Steve himself is secretly Mario. He travels to Dragaera, along with his trusty still-a-dog dog and his parrot Doc, through the Necromantic Gate he hides behind his Grateful Dead records. The whole "he doesn't *look* Dragaeran" thing is covered up with platform shoes and a cute asian make-up artist he brings with him. That's why we never see Mario and Steve in the same place!
