(マリオ, Mario?, Mario) (originally called Mr. Video Game, introduced as Jumpman and also called Super Mario or by his full name Mario Mario) is the titular protagonist of the long-running and highly successful Nintendo video game franchise of the same name. He is a mustached Italian plumber who lives in the Mushroom Kingdom. Mario also sometimes rules his own land, Mario Land. Mario and his brother, Luigi, are plumbers who originally worked in Brooklyn, New York City. Mario mainly fulfills the role of rescuing Princess Peach and other innocents from the clutches of power-hungry villains such as Bowser, the ever-persistent King of the Koopas, in Super Mario games. While not adventuring, Mario participates in a variety of parties, races, sporting events and even works as his alter-ego, Dr. Mario. Mario also has a baby counterpart named Baby Mario, introduced in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island as his infant counterpart but later made a standalone character in Mario spinoffs.
He was created by Shigeru Miyamoto as a stand-in for Popeye when Nintendo could not acquire the rights to said character. According to a 1993 Nintendo character guide, Mario is classified as "Homo nintendonus", and according to the Insiders' Calendar included in the second issue of Nintendo Power, Mario's birthday is October 11; however, later sources have contradicted this citing his birthday as January 1.
Games have usually portrayed Mario as a straightforward character. According to Nintendo's philosophy, this allows Mario to fit in many different genres and roles. In nearly all of his spinoff appearances, Mario is defined as an all-around character. Charles Martinet created Mario's video game voice and portrayed him from 1994-2023, before stepping down for Kevin Afghani to inherit the role.
Since his debut, Mario has appeared in nearly every title in the Super Mario series. In addition, he has appeared in multiple television programs, comic books, and even two feature films. He is currently one of the most recognizable children’s favourite video game characters in the world, having him appeared in over 200+ games.
Physical description
Mario is a twenty-four to twenty-five year-old Italian human. Mario has fair skin, is short and stocky in stature, and is a bit portly. He has bright blue eyes, a big nose, and a thick dark-brown mustache with six bumps on it. Mario has short brown hair with two sideburns, three large bangs pointing upwards, four short bangs pointing upward at the back of his neck, and a sprout-shaped cowlick. He wears a red shirt and blue overalls with yellow buttons. He wears a red cap that has the "M" symbol for the first letter of his name and wears white gloves and brown shoes. With priority to Super Mario Sunshine, Mario wore a long-sleeved shirt (in Super Mario Sunshine, he wore a short-sleeved shirt). In the arcade version of Donkey Kong, he had a blue mustache, blue boots, hair, and a t-shirt, along with a red cap and overalls. In the arcade version of Mario Bros., he had a brown mustache, boots, and hair and wore a red shirt, blue cap, and overalls. In Super Mario Bros., he had beige eyes, a mustache, and shirt, a red cap, and overalls (due to the muted yellow tone). In Super Mario Bros. 3, he wore a red cap, red shirt, red boots, and black overalls.
Personality traits
is known for being kind, cheerful, playful, daredevil, courageous, and headstrong and is also eager and cocky in certain occasions. Nintendo producers have stated that Mario's biography is kept simple in order to make the character versatile and reusable in many different games and situations. Mario is considered one of the most underdeveloped characters in the Mario franchise. Mario has proven himself to be a competent fighter, all-around sports player, and party lover in Mario spin-off titles. shows generally good sportsmanship, even complimenting his opponents, as shown in instances like Mario Kart 8 and Fortune Street, as well as smiling if he loses in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. However, in other spin-offs, he is usually sad after a loss and sometimes sobs. For example, in Mario Kart 64, if Mario does not place on the podium, he is shown wiping a tear. In Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour, if he attains a Double Bogey, he throws a small fit. Finally, it has been said that Mario loves animals, especially the most unusual ones, and he also enjoys music, particularly opera or new-wave Europop, although there is no further comment for these statements. Mario Strikers Charged gives Mario a rock-n'-roll theme for his entrance and scoring animations and an orchestrated theme for his Super Ability. It is revealed that Mario can play the piano, guitar, synthesizer, timpani, xylophone, saxophone, and trumpet. Mario has been shown on various occasions to have an almost overbearing attitude towards his brother, as displayed by certain cutscenes in Mario Power Tennis; this is shown most often in Super Mario-kun. However, this could also just be Mario's outgoing "big brother" personality interacting with Luigi's more introverted nature. Additionally, Mario is much more impulsive and aggressive than his brother, Luigi, and is willing to enter dangerous situations all alone. In Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars, Mallow even had to physically restrain Mario from brawling several times, such as before the battle with Bowyer, so that the heroes could figure out what exactly was happening to their world. Mario has occasionally shown aggressive or vulgar tendencies throughout his appearances, but in a lighthearted and comic-relief manner. A notable exception to this is in Super Mario Momotarō, when Mario is seen holding a gun and aiming at Bowser, although to intimidate him. The title itself and the art style of the Super Mario-kun manga also depict Mario with a childish personality. "Kun" is a generally masculine Japanese honorific for juniors such as boys or teenagers. In a virtual magazine for the Japan-exclusive Satellaview, Mario's vulgar and aggressive tendencies are exaggerated for the purpose of adult-oriented humor. Mario is shown smoking a cigarette and abusing his friends and love interest; he abuses Toad in particular often due to the latter's own perverse behavior in the magazine (or else for no reason at all), stomps on both Toad and Peach repeatedly for having oral sex behind Mario's back, and kills the former character with a gun. The Super Smash Bros. series makes Mario a much more serious character in comparison to his typical playful depiction, whereas his younger brother is made into somewhat of a "comical and childish, yet depressive" character. This is evident in Mario's actions, since all of his attacks are "straightforward and serious," while his brother looks unwilling, hesitant, or too drowsy to be on the offense. Mario also keeps a straight face or firm expression when battling, unlike Luigi. Mario's other facial expressions are not wild or gloomy like his brother's, since he will appropriately smile during his side taunt and victory poses; appear surprised or shocked when grabbed, pummeled, or launched; or appear angry when hanging on to ledges or attacking. However, Mario's personality does not change drastically, since he is still a person who values fairness. This is evident in his losing animation, where he claps for his opponent with a smile. In Adventure Mode: The Subspace Emissary, Mario assumes a leadership role, since he makes it his job to unite the playable roster of Brawl to combat the evil Tabuu and the Subspace Army. Mario is friendly, since he is able to bond with most characters, including Kirby and Pit, and is very happy to cooperate with them. Mario, however, depending on how the game's story is followed, can witness witness Link and Yoshi defeating the False Peach (thinking she is the real Peach), causing him to try fighting them. In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Mario is more whimsical and lighthearted during battle. One of his new taunts has him flash a thumbs-up. Mario seems to have a fixation with food. This is most notably seen in the DiC cartoon trilogy, which may also be the origin of this trait, where Mario is almost constantly hungry and fascinated with Italian food (mostly pizza and pasta), typically wanting to stop Bowser's latest scheme simply so he can eat and going to nearly any length to do so. In fact, in the The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! episode "Koopenstein," when Princess Peach asked him if he ever thought about anything besides food, Mario, with pure honesty, replied, "What else is there?" As in Super Mario 64 and its remake, the original reason Mario came to the castle is that Peach was baking him a cake, which becomes a recurring trend in future games, such as Super Mario Galaxy 2 and New Super Mario Bros. Wii, although Mario, as well as his friends, has also fallen for false invitations to a big feast, shown in Mario Party DS. Mario also dreams of pasta when he falls asleep in Super Mario 64, in Super Mario Odyssey, and in the Game Over screen of Mario vs. Donkey Kong. In the opening of Super Mario Sunshine, Mario is apparently daydreaming about seafood. In Fortune Street, he offers Yoshi to help by finding Yoshi's cookies but before playfully saying, "Just give me a second to brush these cookie crumbs out of my mustache!" Quite a few characters in other games also advised Mario to refrain from eating much. For instance, when Mario holds on to Hoot for too long, Hoot may complain about Mario's eating habits before getting exhausted and letting him go. Additionally, the Star Temple gate from Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time, while praising Mario for his pure heart, has criticized his diet, advising him to limit the Alfredo sauce and carbonara in tandem with more exercising.
Speech
—Mario (Charles Martinet) and Toadsworth (Scott Burns) speaking full dialogue in the JP version of Super Mario Sunshine https://mario.fandom.com/wiki/File:Mario_and_Toadsworth_Sunshine.ogg With Charles Martinet as his most recurring voice actor, Mario's voice is soft and high-pitched, but in a few other games and in the cartoons, Mario has a gruff voice usually associated with a Brooklyn accent. In early games, Mario fully speaks for long periods of time, such as in Mario's Game Gallery and Mario Teaches Typing 2. He also fully speaks in the Japanese version of Super Mario Sunshine in English (Charles Martinet) and holds a full conversation with Toadsworth in the cutscenes. In the Mario vs. Donkey Kong titles, Mario speaks fully, shouting sentences such as "Come back here, you big monkey!" He can be clearly heard shouting, "Welcome! Welcome, new galaxy!" in the ending of Super Mario Galaxy, as well as saying, "Thank you so much for playing my game!" after the credits of several games. Mario has also been given full dialogue in Itadaki Street DS and Fortune Street. Since the 2010s, Mario now rarely speaks in games, his dialogue being primarily limited to numerous grunts and yells, making him somewhat of a semi-silent protagonist in recent games. Despite Nintendo's emphasis on Mario as a semi-silent protagonist in recent games, Mario is the most often heard speaking in full sentences, if occurrences outside the games (especially in special events in real life) are counted. In the Super Smash Bros. series, Mario is a lot less vocal than in the Mario games; specifically in Super Smash Bros. Brawl onward, where he speaks in a far deeper voice than any of his installments. In some cases, Mario is a true silent protagonist, or he does not speak in English. In Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars, Mario is completely silent, communicating solely through pantomime. In the Paper Mario titles, he mainly communicates through simple nodding and hand gestures; while he is completely silent in Paper Mario, however, he is given grunts in the latter games. Mario is also silent during dialogue scenes in the Mario Baseball and Mario & Sonic series, although he can technically talk. In the Mario & Luigi titles, he and Luigi speak in unintelligible gibberish that the other characters can understand. In Super Mario Sunshine, Mario is "heard" speaking in the opening scenes, but his dialogue is completely inaudible, although this is present only in the American version of the game, while in the Japanese version, Mario is heard speaking coherently, such as saying, "Looks like Mario's gonna have to find a job!" to Toadsworth after landing on the Delfino Airstrip, although he still speaks more than in most games in the series. He has full speech capabilities demonstrated in some sports titles and other games (including when being portrayed in real life), and he also speaks regularly in such mediums like the DiC cartoon trilogy, though he speaks perfect English with a Brooklyn accent in the latter. Mario has been shown to be able to speak in full sentences in promotional videos, such as a press conference released for Mario Sports Mix, and Play Nintendo's 2017 series of Mario reading letters to promote Super Mario Odyssey. In promotional venues with MIRT, people can communicate with Mario by asking various questions; there, too, Mario also speaks for long periods of time. In The Cat Mario Show, Mario can speak fully, but he has an entirely different voice. Also, people can communicate with Mario by asking various questions; there, too, Mario can fully speak, although his Italian accent mostly disappears. In the games, other characters speak for him, mainly Lakitu and Toad.
Early life
A Stork was carrying Mario and Luigi. Kamek snatched Baby Luigi and the Stork with Mario falling onto Yoshi. Yoshi and his travel companions work together to help Mario save Luigi while the Toadies attempt to chase them. After the defeat of Baby Bowser, Mario reunited with Luigi and Yoshi freed the stork. The stork continued carrying Mario and Luigi to the parents' home and leaves Mario and Luigi by the porch.
Donkey Kong
The original Donkey Kong (now Cranky Kong, with his grandson taking up the mantle) had kidnapped Pauline onto a dangerous construction site in 1930s New York City. Donkey Kong taunted and teased Mario until the plucky carpenter defeated Donkey Kong, and rescued Pauline. In order to make sure nothing like that happened ever again, Mario put Donkey Kong inside a cage. He then prevented Donkey Kong Jr. from rescuing Donkey Kong, but Donkey Kong Jr. caught up with Mario, releasing his father in the process.
Plumbers
The Italian brothers Mario and Luigi worked as plumbers inside the sewers of New York. Creatures such as Fighter Flies, Sidesteppers, and Shellcreepers start coming out of Warp Pipes which they fight.
Creation and development
Shigeru Miyamoto was developing a video game called Donkey Kong. Nintendo had to draw Mario as a small character and look human. His developing team needed to draw Mario with distinctive features. Mario was based off Popeye. Fans mistook the gap between his nose and mouth was his mustache. Shigeru Miyamoto drew Mario's mustache that he did not need to draw the mouth. American commercials for the original Donkey Kong (game) depicted Mario in 1930s clothing.
Etymology
