Do we ever get told his age in any of the games or media he's in?

Because while one of his first 'descriptions' was the Japanese term for 'middle aged man', we never really quite find out what that actually means. 20s? 30s? 40s? 50s?

What do you think? How old is Mario?
 
I think I made a topic like this a long time ago and I think at that time we said he was around probably mid 30's. Even though the description of "middle age" is like 50 or so, but I don't see a 50 year old man playing golf, basketball, kart racing, and pretty much anything else Mario does.
 
Would that make Mario a creep for loving which I assume a young looking Peach?
 
I always figured he was in his 30s or so, though I'm not sure if it's actually stated in the canon anywhere. I think I might recall an age being given on a trophy in one of the Smash Bros. games, but even so, that's still technically outside the canon.
 
26 is "middle aged"? heh, I always assumed Mario was around 30-36ish somewhere in there :) or just never really thought of it before.

By the way, according to this http://www.ign.com/blogs/shaw98/2014/05/25/marios-real-age Mario is actually over 200 years old if we look at the time line and continuity of events within the games.

They argue that because the star festival (from Super Mario Galaxy 1 and 2) only comes once every 100 years So at least 100 years has passed between those two games.

It goes on to also say that Roslina stayed on Earth also at the end of Super Mario 3D World, marking another 100 years. So Mario is 200-300 years old lol.

PS: As fun as this theory is, at the end of the article they also confirm that Super Smash Brothers states that Mario is 26. :)
