The brain instead of the mushroom signifies growing up together.
...and then, graduating.
He finally confessed his feelings for her...
..but she didn't feel the same way. He follows her, but just like the game, he is unable to go beyond the screen so he has to move forward.
He finds her again in the next phase of his life. The chase begins as Princess Peach runs from Mario. I try to poke fun at the situation by using "LOL".
Mario eventually catches up to her and the hearts on both of their heads show that they both return each other's feelings at last.
