It doesn't say he got another job, though. "In his history, Mario has also been a construction worker, referee, pilot, doctor, racecar driver, chef, archaeologist, toy maker, street dancer, theme park owner and olympic athlete." Mario looks more like a man who gets chewed up and spit out by the capitalist machine at every turn, no matter what he tries. While he has tried to rise from his proletarian roots to join the burgeoisie (working as a doctor, pilot, theme park owner), he did not succeed - the burgeoisie has rejected him. Maybe Mario still dreams of becoming burgeois, but his station in life is apparently downtrodden; rejecting him would mean rejecting someone who could be a comrade in the struggle against capitalism.

Mario is a rootless cosmopolitan for whom work is an adventure, a leisure activity. He can never develop a consciousness based on the alienation of his product, because he doesn't see work as a productive activity.

What if the fetishization of these characters was a psyop to discourage people from absorbing their pro-environment, anti-capitalists messages? Would you bomb Monsanto if a diaper wearing hedgehog halfway in the middle of transforming into a toilet told you to do it?

Exploration is ill-advised.
You're overthinking this. Absolutely no one is better than 'fans' at completely missing the point of what they enjoy. The dialogue and plot is set dressing for things to masturbate to.
