From the Shirtpunch.com's interview with the artist:
"Question: What inspired this design?
Answer: Mario's mustache reminded me of the samurai helmet mustaches! Since I have always been a huge fan of samurai armor, and Mario 64 also happens to be one of my greatest time sinks as a kid, it just made perfect sense."
