We see Mario as a caricatural character; for us, i the typical way as a non-european thinks about italians.
It’s not an offensive stereotype, it’s nice and funny. Italians are offended about stereotypes about mafia, Berlusconi and mandolino, not about Mario.
Italian here.

about Berlusconi, we may as well get offended but the nation itself kinda deserves to be made fun of for it 😂
