I am scared I will soon not be able to see Mario again. However, I promise that until that day arrives, I will always be here, posting Mario facts. Thank you all so much for your support through the years. pic.twitter.com/Yro5QYb2CN
Despite maintaining a healthy lifestyle, the blogger stated that the heart condition is strictly genetic. The progressive degradation of his eyesight leaves him uncertain whether surgery or medication can slow or stop the process.

“I already have all the support I could need,” the blogger said. “All I can do is hope for my frail body to overcome this.”
Thousands of supportive replies have since poured in from readers and fans. Messages include expressions of gratitude for the blogger’s work and integrity, shared fan art, and calls for Nintendo to grant him access to in-development projects.
“I hope with all my (failing) heart that I can continue doing this for years to come,” he said. “And if I should one day stop posting: thank you very much for reading.”
