New York Times thought Mario wears suspenders [1]

['Rob Beschizza']

Date: 2025-03-20

The New York Times posted an amusing correction today after it was pointed out to it that Mario, the Nintendo character, does not wear suspenders, as identified by a clue in the newspaper's mini crossword.

CORRECTION: Today's Mini Crossword contained a clue that incorrectly suggested that Mario, the video game character, wears suspenders. He wears overalls

Perhaps it's rude to say so, but I can well imagine folks at The New York Times looking at what Mario wears and thinking "what is that mysterious garment? Suspenders?"
