We do have {{media link|MB_Mario_and_Luigi_with_Plumbing_Supplies_Artwork.jpg|artwork of Mario and Luigi as plumbers}}, the problem is when this was drawn. The specific scan is from a year 1993 rerelease, while in terms of Japanese material I saw it in the year 1994 Super Mario Bros. Daizukan, but it might have been an earlier artwork. In any case it is referred to the original Mario Bros., so the idea that they were plumbers there was definitely around. Actually, [https://nintendoeverything.com/miyamoto-explains-why-mario-is-italian/ this year 2010 is pretty telling]:

Now with Mario, I think with Mario Bros. we had a setting of course that was underground, so I just decided Mario is a plumber. Let’s put him in New York and he can be Italian.

So, according Miyamoto, Mario was indeed intended to be a plumber in ''Mario Bros.''.—-[[User:Mister Wu|Mister Wu]] ([[User talk:Mister Wu|talk]]) 10:11, May 14, 2023 (EDT)
