when he slow blinks it means mario trusts you, and is comfortable with you. it& #39;s a good sign your mario won& #39;t try to bolt out the door whenever it opens, but it& #39;s still good to be careful, because even if he feels safe with you he is easily startled and can& #39;t think very far ahead https://twitter.com/MarioBrothBlog/status/1312836253067497478">https://twitter.com/MarioBrot...

sometimes it just means your mario is sleepy. try to not over anthropomorphize the mario by reading too much into his actions as indicative of a human-like experience he may not have. it& #39;s also why what we see as mario playing he might experience as serious, even violent activity

also no matter how your mario behaves around you and others he& #39;s familiar with, please be courteous about keeping him on a leash whenever you& #39;re out and about. some people are allergic to marios, have a significant fear of mario jump attacks, or he may disappear into a sewer pipe
