2D Mario doesn’t have two eyes, he has one. If he is drawn with two eyes the second one would be inside his body and would not see anything as it’s view is blocked by pixels.

If you look at the initial zoom, his eye actually lies within his head, so it’s unclear how he can see anything at all.

Semi-transparent head, probably. But it means he can only see light intensity, which is why he falls into holes and runs into dangerous objects on the regular.

If we take it further, even the eye "we" can see is blocked by the bridge of his nose, so I doubt he actually sees anything.

I wonder if that’s why he needs someone else to control his movements.

You can see Mario has two eyes on his death animation, though.

Well, the site itself says
