Ali Mustafa



Ali Mustafa is a tie-seller from Cairo (Egypt). He only briefly appeared once in the Mario series, namely in the comic "Mario's Picross", published in the German Club Nintendo magazine. Mario met him when he lost his way in the desert. Ali Mustafa, wearing at least a dozen ties himself, offered some to the plumber. Mario, who did not search for a tie but for some drink, got angry and shooed the seller away. He did not know, however, that a cocktail bar he found later required him to wear a tie in order to enter. Not much else is known about Ali Mustafa, except that he wears an orange robe and a blue turban, and that he claims to have the best ties throughout Egypt.
