Mario To Transition To Playing With A Racquet For A While After Injuring His Arm Hitting A Block With His Fist

MUSHROOM KINGDOM — Mario, everyone's favorite plumber who is known for helping people, stomping out evil, and riding on dinosaurs, has been forced to switch from playing tennis with his right hand to his left after injuring his arm reaching above his head and hitting blocks with his fist.

The famous plumber reportedly injured himself early Friday morning while trying to collect items above his head by walking into them slowly and punching them from below.

"I-a knew I should-a have stretched before hitting those-a blocks," Mario said. "Or-a maybe I was just-a swinging too hard-a."

Mario has since transitioned to using his feet to kick blocks but was planning to just ride Yoshi everywhere moving forward.

At publishing time, Luigi was also switching to ambidextrous tennis after injuring himself trying to hit all the blocks Mario missed.
