The Rapper Mario meme features a 3D-rendered Mario styled as a mid-90s hip-hop artist, complete with a gold chain, sunglasses, and a backwards cap. Often linked to the 'Grand Dad' bootleg or the SiIvaGunner fan community, this image represents a swagger-filled version of the world's most famous plumber. It is typically used to accompany jokes about dropping a new album, reacting to fire music, or displaying extreme confidence in a ridiculous situation. The meme thrives on the contrast between Mario's family-friendly image and the gritty, cool-guy persona depicted in the artwork.
