What Mario's "M" ACTUALLY Stands for...

This is what the "M" on Mario's iconic red hat REALLY stands for...
If you think it stands for Mario then sadly, you're wrong but don't feel too bad because a LOT of people assume the same thing. After all, why wouldn't you considering Mario's name DOES start with an M.
However, Nintendo have officially gone on the record and revealed that the M on Mario's hat DOESN'T stand for Mario. In fact, it's got nothing to do with Mario at all. Instead, it's a fun easter egg that, at the time, was originally put there to cross promote ANOTHER beloved game that Nintendo were developing at the time - Metroid.
The team at Nintendo loved how Mario's hat looked so they just left the now iconic M in place and the rest is history!
Do be honest and leave a comment: did you actually know what the M on Mario's hat stood for or are you only just learning here today?
If you enjoyed this short, also considering leaving a like as it'll let me know you want more Mario, Nintendo and general gaming fun facts and trivia in the future here on the channel!

Then the W from Wario’s hat would stand for “Wetroid” 😅

[@rabbidyoshi9452]

Then what the hell does the L on Luigi’s cap stand for (edit: oh dang so many people just trying to guess, anyways ima just say it stands for Linner)

[@wallywalrus2]

Letroid

XD

[@SubParLover]

Let the speculation begin... 😅

[@SubParLover]

​@@wallywalrus2i mean... the logic checks out 😅 Letroid coming 2024

[@brotbrotsen1100]

Mario - metroid
Luigi - lasagna
Wario - war crimes

[@KlebThePleb]

I think this is satire but cant even tell anymore 💀

[@SubParLover]

I don't know if Nintendo were having a laugh when they said this but it's on record 😄

[@Scari1893wheniwasborn]

Fun fact: the 'M' on Mario's hat stands for Mario.

[@JamesTheBozo]

The L on Luigi's hat is Legend of Zelda. W on Wario's is Wii Sports. W on Waluigi's is Wario Ware

[@SubParLover]

See. James, you get it. Absolutely not a Bozo 😄

[@JamesTheBozo]

@@SubParLover thank you thid made my day, but i also js realized waluigi has an upside down l on the top of his head, which kinda looks like an r. So ill say the r stands for rainbow road, which can mean it stands for mariokart, which makes sense because waluigi was the best character until wave 4 on the bcp. We should call this "Hat Lore"

[@neonmenace1592]

Wario came before Wii Sports

okay then what dose the L on Luigi’s cap stand for ?

[@skelebones1300]

Ligma

[@SubParLover]

L could stand for Luigi. Maybe the M was just originally for Metroid and then any new characters had a letter that coincided with their names

[@daemonmoreno9456]

M for Metroid, L for Legend of Zelda, W for WarioWare, and upside down L (which kinda(?) looks like an r) for Rainbow Road from Mario Kart (yes I stole this comment)

[@RetiredMario209]

No it stands for Mario, stop capping!

[@RoyalcontentYT]

What about Luigi and wario

[@SubParLover]

My theory is that it started as Metroid and then obviously became Mario when all the other characters started also have letters on their clothes 😊

[@RoyalcontentYT]

@@SubParLover what about Luigi he was around when the M was Metroid so what’s L
