Mario's real age

When you shave Mario's mustache, he looks 20 years younger.
 
I wonder why?
 
Mustacheless Mario scares me. He looks like a different person (no offense to people that use mustacheless Mario).

Mario looks like a 10-year old now. 0_o
 
I can image him frowning and he still looks ten.
 
But these ages are no young adults anymore.
At least, I don't know how it works in America, but in here, you're a young adult if you're 16/17 years, and you're an adult if you're 18 or higher.
 
I replied to the second sentence.
 
I see mario progress like this:

Donkey Kong: 16-17 Y.O.
SMB1: 24
SMB3: 30
SMW: 33
SM64: 36
SMS: 40
SMG: 44
NSMBW: 48
SMG2: 49
 
Well, to make him any younger in SMG2 would make him like 13 in Donkey Kong, which he obviously wasn't. And he's called Super Mario for a reason, he ages with spectacle.
 
Well I don't think he would be 49, and you don't know what age Mario was when DK 1981 was released, no one does except Nintendo, so you can't speculate like that.
 
I don't think Nintendo knows Mario's age either. It's like you creating a character. You don't really know what age he is unless you were thinking this particular age from the start.
