Never made sense to me. What kind of puppet is bound down by their strings? The strings always lift them up. Perhaps Pinocchio believed himself to be a balloon instead of a puppet?

I think they meant hold down as in like how a leash tied to a tree holds you in place. So down is not right, I agree, but probably meant like you receive self locomotion as a marionette - but the strings keep you in place.

He is a marionette. And for reference, I'm a Lamborghini.

In the very first version, yes. But shortly after new chapters changes the story. He was now hung by some bandits, but he’s a living wooden doll, he doesn’t exactly need to breathe. So he just hangs around for awhile, then escapes. In the end he finds Geppeto after a long journey, Pinocchio finally learns to stop being such an ungrateful little prick, and they live happily as father and son.
