Dirk Drain-Head

Within this comic run, Mario also had a different plumbing idol to look up to, because he apparently lives in a world where plumbers are gods. This comes in the form of a comic book character within our pre-existing comic book, who Mario often dreams of emulating and even cosplays as.

This is Dirk Drain-Head, the heroic plumbing superhero. He fights crime using plumbers’ tools and implements, accompanied by his faithful sidekick Snakey and fighting villains such as Pipe Ooze and Muck.

In game, Dirk Drain-Head would be fast and strong, like many superheroes, and would have his trusty plunger and other plumbers’ tools at his side. His moves will pull from the various moves Mario re-enacts, incorporating Snakey, Pipe Ooze, and Muck as well.
