'''Mario''' (full name '''Mario Mario''') is the main character and protagonist of the long-running and highly successful [[Mario (series)|''Mario'' series]]. He was created by Japanese video game designer [[Shigeru Miyamoto]] and also serves as the main mascot of [[Nintendo]]. Mario made his first appearance as the protagonist of the arcade game ''[[Donkey Kong (game)|Donkey Kong]]'', released in 1981. Since ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'', his trademark abilities have been his [[jump]]ing and [[stomp]]ing powers, with which he defeats most of his enemies, and his ability to change size and gain powers with a plethora of items, such as the [[Super Mushroom]] and [[Fire Flower]]. Games have usually portrayed Mario as a silent character without a distinct personality (''[[Fortune Street]]'' is a notable exception). According to Nintendo's philosophy, this allows Mario to fit in many different genres and roles. In most games, he is the hero that goes on an adventure to save [[Princess Peach]] from [[Bowser]], but he has been shown doing other activities besides adventuring, such as racing and sporting with [[Luigi|his twin brother]]. Mario's main traits are his [[Mario Cap|red hat]], thick mustache, Italian accent, heavy use of [[List of power-ups|power-ups]], and high [[jump]]ing ability.
== Creation ==
[[File:Jumpmanconcept.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Concept art for Jumpman]]
Following the failure of ''[[Wikipedia:Radar Scope|Radar Scope]]'' in North America, Nintendo then-president, [[Hiroshi Yamauchi]], requested Miyamoto's aid in converting unsold ''Radar Scope'' units into something that would sell well. Miyamoto conceived the concept of a love triangle and decided to make a game based on the ''Popeye'' character. He, however, was denied the rights for the ''Popeye'' franchise, so he decided to come up with a new idea using his own characters.

==History==
===Background information===
According to game ''[[Donkey Kong Circus]]'', Mario was circus employe where he capture [[Cranky Kong|Donkey Kong]] to be a new attraction of his circus.<ref name=Pet>Chris Kohler. How Japanese Video Games Gave the World an Extra Life, 2005, pg. 39</ref>
===''Donkey Kong'' series===
In ''[[Donkey Kong (game)|Donkey Kong]]'' as carpenter, Mario discovers that his pet Donkey Kong has come out of the cage and his girfriend Pauline is captured.<ref>[https://www.reddit.com/r/retrogaming/comments/ecl9zw/mario_was_originally_a_brave_carpenter_in_donkey/ Reddit]</ref><ref name=Pet/> Mario had to go up each floor in the [[Construction Site]] to save her and defeat the big gorilla.
In ''[[Donkey Kong Jr. (game)|Donkey Kong Jr.]]'', Mario has the role as main antagonist where he locks his former pet Donkey Kong in the cage. But he meets his opposition who is Donkey Kong's son called [[Donkey Kong Jr.]], so he summons several enemies to prevent the same from saving his father. When Donkey Kong is freed by his son, Mario chases the two and is kicked by Donkey Kong making him run. Another game depicting Jumpman as the tamer of Donkey Kong is the [[Game & Watch]] title ''[[Donkey Kong Circus]]'', in which Jumpman appears only in the background.
In ''[[Donkey Kong Hockey]]'', Mario appears as the protagonist where his hockey shot is less powerful than Donkey Kong's but has more range than him.
In ''[[Donkey Kong (Game Boy)|Donkey Kong]]'' on the [[Game Boy]] as plumber, Mario repeats the same stunt in the construction site. This time he chased Donkey Kong everywhere to save Pauline and of course he had a hard time with Donkey Kong Jr. who was paired with his father. He manages to save Pauline after locking up Donkey Kong Jr. and completely defeating Donkey Kong.
In ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'', Mario is ranked first place in [[Cranky's Video Game Heroes]] for having collected 39 [[DK Coin]]s. Mario is missing only one DK Coin, so by collecting all 40 of them, Diddy takes the rank of first place, shifting Mario down to second place.
===''Saturday Supercade''===
Mario appears as a regular character in the Donkey Kong segments of ''[[Saturday Supercade]]'', which was his first appearance in a television show. In the show, he was an apparent circus owner along with Pauline who worked as an animal trainer. [[Donkey Kong]] escapes from the circus and Mario and Pauline are always on the loose to capture him. They go through many adventures where Donkey Kong gets himself involved in many situations and Mario and Pauline try to help make things right.
====
In "[[The Great Ape Escape]]," Donkey Kong escapes by riding a motorcycle, after which Mario and Pauline drive their circus van to chase him. Mario attempts to catch Donkey Kong by disguising himself as a banana and catapulting himself. He tries using sleeping gas on Donkey Kong, but Donkey Kong deflects it and escapes into a nearby prison. In the prison, the [[Doug's Health Club|criminals]] join with Donkey Kong and exploit his gullibility by having him perform crimes, including theft. Meanwhile, riding on a hot air balloon, Mario and Pauline attempt to lure Donkey Kong with a rope ladder made of bananas. Donkey Kong, however, pops the balloon, so the two then disguise themselves as chefs, but this also fails. During the prison football game, Mario again tries and fails to capture Donkey Kong while disguising himself as a referee. When Donkey Kong and the criminals are finally cornered at the top of the building, Mario, in a police outfit, and Pauline tell Donkey Kong that the criminals are tricking him. Donkey Kong then tosses the criminals in the cage and escapes in a hot air football, leading Mario and Pauline to continue chasing him.
===="Greenhouse Gorilla"====
In "[[Greenhouse Gorilla]]," Donkey Kong is tricked by [[Mr. X]] to steal [[Stanley]]'s metal-eating plant, [[Herman (Saturday Supercade)|Herman]]. While chasing Donkey Kong, Stanley meets Mario and Pauline, where they team up to find Donkey Kong and Mr. X. They find Donkey Kong and Mr. X with the plant in the grocery store, but when Mario tries to capture Donkey Kong with his vacuum trap, the plant consumes it and the three escape. Mr. X then leads Donkey Kong to a banquet, where Mario, Pauline, and Stanley are found disguised as hired help. Pauline convinces Donkey Kong to distrust Mr. X, so Mr. X's plan fails and Donkey Kong then escapes, once again leading the three to chase him.

====''Wrecking Crew''====
[[File:Mario Wrecking Crew
[[File:Wrecking Crew 98 gameplay.png|thumb|Mario smashing blocks in ''Wrecking Crew '98'']]
In 1985's ''[[Wrecking Crew]]'', Mario and Luigi appear as workers on a demolition site. They use hammers similar to those previously seen in ''Donkey Kong'' against [[Foreman Spike]]. In this game, Mario wears a helmet, shoes and dark red overalls. He faces [[Gotcha Wrench]]es, [[Eggplant Man|Eggplant Men]], and [[Foreman Spike]]. Mario must break every stone wall before the enemy can. Mario can defeat enemies by trapping them in drums. Foreman Spike can attempt to break blocks himself or push Mario, but Mario can hit him with his hammer and cause him to fall. If Mario stays too long, a [[Fireball]] appears to hinder his progress.
Mario reappears in ''Vs. Wrecking Crew'', an arcade game for the Nintendo Vs. system. The game plays similarly to the original with the addition of simultaneous 2-player mode, where Mario and another player compete.

In ''[[Super Mario 64]]'', Mario is invited to have a [[cake]] with Princess Peach at the [[Peach's Castle|Mushroom Castle]], but he finds the castle taken over and Peach kidnapped by Bowser when he arrives there. In order to save Peach, Mario has to collect the castle's [[Power Star]]s to advance further and defeat Bowser. When facing off against Bowser, Mario grabs his tail and spins him around to throw him off the fighting platform. After being rescued, Peach kisses Mario and bakes him the cake.

''[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!]]'' shows both Mario's and Luigi's lives in the real world and their lives in the Mushroom Kingdom, through both live-action and animated episodes. In the live-action portion of the show, Mario and Luigi (portrayed by [[Lou Albano]] and [[Danny Wells]], respectively) are plumbers living in Brooklyn, working from [[Mario
In the animated segments, Mario and Luigi are traveling across the Mushroom Land with Toad and Princess Toadstool, searching for anyone or anything that can both rid the kingdom of King Koopa and send Mario and Luigi back home to Brooklyn. According to the first episode, "[[The Bird! The Bird!]]", they begin their quest shortly after Mario and Luigi have saved Princess Toadstool after arriving in the Mushroom Kingdom.
Similar to King Koopa, Mouser, and Tryclyde, Mario may occasionally employ disguises or aliases during an animated segment.

[[File:SMWMAYALCall.png|thumb|left|Mario calls the viewer in ''Super Mario World: Mario & Yoshi's Adventure Land''.]]
Mario is one of the main characters in the interactive anime OVA ''[[Super Mario World: Mario & Yoshi's Adventure Land]]''. The video follows the story of ''[[Super Mario World]]'' rather closely, though it is quite condensed. Mario leads a group on a quest to save Princess Peach from Bowser. He is shown to be the bravest of the group, with Luigi and Yoshi less so. He often calls the viewer to ask questions.

===''Amada Anime Series: Super Mario Bros.''===
The ''[[Amada Anime Series: Super Mario Bros.]]'' series of Japan-only anime features ''Mario'' characters in classic fairy tale settings. Mario plays as the main protagonist, defeating Bowser in all of them.
====''Super Mario Momotarō''====
[[File:Mario gun.png|thumb|left|Mario, after defeating Bowser, threatens him at gunpoint.]]
''[[Super Mario Momotarō]]'' retells a popular Japanese folklore called ''{{wp|Momotarō}}'', with Mario playing the role as the main hero. Bowser and the Koopalings have stolen Princess Peach from [[Ojīsan and Obāsan]], two elderly Hammer Brothers. Eventually, the Hammer Brothers discover a shooting star in the form of a peach that has landed in their feet. Mario, as a mustached child, emerges from this peach, and the two elderly Hammer Brothers welcome him into their family. While Mario rapidly grows up, Ojīsan and Obāsan accidentally mention Princess Peach. They explain their loss to Mario once he asks them for more information. Mario then ultimately decides to rescue her, even though Ojīsan is unwilling to let him go. The Hammer Brothers finally relent and give aid to Mario for his journey, including a lunchbox with mushrooms and a gun, a valuable family heirloom.
During his travels, Mario encounters a weak, starving [[Para-Beetle]]. He immediately befriends her by sharing his mushroom, and she agrees to join his cause. Mario also helps a [[Boomerang Bro.]] up, who also joins Mario. Mario then finally befriends a [[Spike]] after the Spike has seen Bowser destroy his homeland. The four ride a rocket-powered [[airship]] to confront Bowser and the Koopalings. While Mario's friends battle the Koopalings, Mario faces Bowser and, with help from the Para-Beetle and the Boomerang Bro., eventually defeats him. After winning the fight, Mario threatens Bowser at gunpoint until Bowser relents and agrees to stop destroying the lands and to return everything he has stolen, including Princess Peach. Princess Peach thanks Mario and his friends for rescuing her, and they use the airship to return to Ojīsan and Obāsan.
====''Super Mario Issun-bōshi''====
[[File:Super Mario Issun-bōshi.jpg|thumb|Peach holding Mario, who plays the title role]]
Mario plays the role of the small hero in ''[[Super Mario Issun-bōshi]]'', based on the Japanese folk tale ''{{wp|Issun-bōshi}}''. A couple has wished for a child, but while the shooting star delivers the child, who is Mario, he is only one inch tall. As Mario grows older, he notices a city beyond the mountains and wishes to travel there. His parents are reluctant at first, but they do not wish to shelter him for the rest of his life. Mario's father gives him a sewing needle for a sword, a bowl with rocket engines for a boat, and a chopstick for an oar to help Mario travel. Mario encounters several enemies along the way, including a [[Spiny Cheep Cheep]], Para-Beetles, a Blooper Nanny, a Dry Bones, and a Lakitu. The Lakitu, however, summons a storm and sinks Mario and his boat, making him unconscious.
When Mario wakes up, he finds himself in the city and Princess Peach, normal sized, who has rescued him. Peach introduces herself and explains that she has found him unconscious on the shore of the river. Mario thanks her and tells her his desire to explore the city. Peach, who likes him, wants Mario to stay with her, and he agrees, riding on Peach's shoulders. As they are walking in the city, however, Bowser ambushes and attacks Peach, demanding that she marry him. Princess Peach strongly refuses, and before Bowser resorts to force, Mario challenges Bowser. Bowser does not take Mario seriously and tries to stomp him, but he dodges his steps. Bowser, however, finally grabs Mario and swallows him. While Bowser is trying to kidnap Peach, though, Mario attacks Bowser from the inside with his needle sword, which forces Bowser to cough out Mario. Mario then cuts off Bowser's horns and eyebrows, making Bowser flee while passersby laugh at him. After thanking Mario, Peach notices a magic wish-granting hammer, which Bowser has dropped, and she then fulfills Mario's wish to be a full-sized human. In the end, the two use a hovercraft to return home.
====''Super Mario Shirayuki-hime''====
''[[Super Mario Shirayuki-hime]]'' is the final story of the series, based on ''{{wp|Snow White}}''. Bowser, as Queen Koopa, is jealous that Princess Peach is declared fairest in the land according to the magic mirror. Queen Koopa orders the Koopalings (Roy, Wendy, Morton, and Iggy) to destroy Princess Peach. Mario rescues her and flees to a house containing his friends, the seven dwarves, who are Toads. After Mario tells them what is happening, the Toads promise to protect her while Mario is away. Queen Koopa, meanwhile, tricks Peach into eating a poisoned apple and casts her into a deep sleep. When Mario returns and finds Peach in a deep sleep, the Toads apologize for their failure. Mario then retrieves a potion he has received from a goddess in a foreign land and revives Peach. After Peach explains that she has been given a poisoned apple, Mario concludes that it is Queen Koopa and wants to punish Queen Koopa. With Peach and the Toads following, Mario travels to Queen Koopa's castle and defeats the [[Goomba]]s there. When he confronts Queen Koopa, the Koopalings attack him with a magical electric blast. The Toads help Mario by giving him a power-up that makes him grow large and knock away the Koopalings. After Mario chases Queen Koopa, she takes Princess Peach and holds a knife near her neck. Luigi, however, ambushes Queen Koopa, and the brothers defeat her by throwing her against the magic mirror. Mario, Peach, Luigi, and the Toads then happily leave the castle, concluding the story arc.
===''White Knuckle Scorin{{'}}''===
The comic that is released alongside the ''[[White Knuckle Scorin']]'' CD album is a loose adaptation of ''Super Mario World''. Mario and Luigi vacation in Dinosaur Land, but Bowser kidnaps Princess Peach as part of his plan to convert Dinosaur Land to fossil fuel and become an oil tycoon of OPEC. While Princess Peach tries to send messages, Mario helps teach Yoshi how to read, which is later integral for relaying Peach's messages as well as reciting spells from Bowser's magic book.

===''Mario Tennis'' series===
Mario is a playable character in all games of the ''Mario Tennis'' series. In all direct games in the series—''[[Mario Tennis (Nintendo 64)|Mario Tennis]]'' for the Nintendo 64, ''[[Mario Power Tennis]]'' for the Nintendo GameCube and Wii, ''[[Mario Tennis: Power Tour]]'' for the Game Boy Advance, ''[[Mario Tennis Open]]'' for the Nintendo 3DS, ''[[Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash]]'' for the Wii U, and ''[[Mario Tennis Aces]]'' for the Nintendo Switch—he is an all-around character. In ''[[Mario Tennis (Game Boy Color)|Mario Tennis]]'' for the Game Boy Color, Mario is an unlockable character, unlocked by completing the Singles Mario Tour.
====''Mario Tennis''====
In the intro for ''Mario Tennis'' for the [[Nintendo 64]], Mario is one of the participants of the tournament. Here, he defeats [[Donkey Kong]] to gain access to the semifinals. In the semifinals, he defeats [[Yoshi]] and moves on to the finals against [[Luigi]]. While the two brothers are looking for the missing tennis ball prior to the match, [[Wario]] and his partner, [[Waluigi]], appear and cause mischief. After this, [[Bowser]] and a [[Boo]] appear. Everyone stands back in fear, thinking that the two came to cause trouble as well. However, Bowser and the Boo reveal that they simply want to play a nice game of tennis, to which Mario exclaims, "Let's all play!" and all of them agree and cheer. Initially unknown to the cast, however, a [[Bob-omb]] walks onto the court and explodes.
In the game, Mario is an all-around playable character, and he has several themed courts including the [[Mario Bros. Court]], the [[Mario & Luigi Court]], and the [[Super Mario Court]]. In the doubles version of tournament mode, his AI doubles partner is Luigi. Additionally, if Peach is the human player, Mario is her partner. Mario plays as a referee when not being used. Mario, however, also has a clone of himself wearing a blue cap, who replaces his role as a referee, but can appear even if Mario is not being used. The referee wears different outfits depending on the tournament. Mario is also the announcer in the game.
====''Mario Power Tennis''====
[[File:Mpt intro 1.png|thumb|Mario and Luigi in the intro for ''Mario Power Tennis'']]
In ''Mario Power Tennis'', Mario and Luigi are the only all-around characters. Unlike in other games, Mario and Luigi have subtle differences within each other. While they have nearly identical movement speed, Mario has more power, while Luigi has slightly more reach and more control. Mario, when compared to other characters, has a slightly below-average reach and lunge because of his short stature. Mario is stronger than most non-power characters. All his other stats are average. Mario's [[Offensive Power Shot]] has his racket transform into a giant mallet, which enables him to hit the ball with high speed and force; opponents that return the ball may get blasted to the back of the court. Mario's [[Defensive Power Shot]] is a simple spin that allows him to reach lobs and faraway balls quickly, but it is one of the few Defensive Power Shots that fail when the ball is too far away. Mario's taunt is him waving and saying, "Come on!"
Mario has appeared occasionally in several trophy-earning cutscenes in ''Mario Power Tennis''. While Mario has appeared more than most characters in these cutscenes, Luigi appears in most trophy-earning cutscenes.
====''Mario Tennis Open''====
In ''Mario Tennis Open'', Mario shares nearly identical stats from ''Mario Power Tennis''. Mario's metal form, Metal Mario, also appears as a Power character. Miis in the game can wear tennis clothing based on Mario, and if they win the singles Final Cup, they can wear his costume as well.
====''Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash''====
[[File:MatchArtwork-MarioTennisUltraSmash.jpg|thumb|left|Mario and Peach in a match against Bowser and Luigi in ''Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash'']]
In ''Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash'', Mario's tennis racket color is slightly different in this game; rather than being a solid blue, Mario's racket is predominantly red and blue with some white.
====''Mario Tennis Aces''====
In ''Mario Tennis Aces'', Mario by default wears a new tennis outfit. However, his standard outfit could be unlocked by either participating in the online tournament demo or accumulating 500 participation points in the January 2019 online tournament. Also, Mario was among the characters that could be played as in the online tournament demo. During the game's adventure mode, Mario is, for most of the missions, the playable character as the player must collect the five [[Power Stone]]s to stop [[Lucien]]. As of the game's version 2.0.0 update, the player can unlock a costume for Mario that has him wielding a Lucien replica while wearing his tennis outfit by completing [[Last Trial Boss Challenge]].

===''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars''===
[[File:RPGMario.png|thumb|upright=0.7|left|''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars'' artwork]]
Mario appears as the main protagonist in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]''. Mario first arrives to confront [[Bowser]], who has again captured [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]] (which by now is a recurring event). Mario battles Bowser atop a [[Kinklink]] and rescues Toadstool. Then a huge sword, [[Exor]], strikes the castle from atop and knocks them all to various spots in [[Mario World|Mario's world]]. Mario falls through the [[Warp Pipe|pipe]] on top of [[Mario Bros.' House|his house]] and lands on his bed.
Mario discovers that the [[Star Piece (Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars)|Star Pieces]] of the [[wish]]-granting [[Star Road (Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars)|Star Road]] are being sought by a group called the [[Smithy Gang]], run by [[Smithy]], who are causing havoc throughout the world. On this adventure, Mario recruits [[Mallow]], [[Geno]], Princess Toadstool, and even Bowser. They travel through much of the world, finding Star Pieces, which are protected by the Smithy Gang's strongest members. After all Star Pieces are collected, Mario fights Smithy. Mario reaches it through Bowser's Keep, which is inaccessible because Exor destroyed the bridge. With the help of Mallow's parents, [[King Nimbus|King]] and [[Queen Nimbus]], Mario has passage through a special [[Royal Bus|cloud bus]]. When they finally arrive, Mario defeats Exor and goes to [[Factory (Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars)|Smithy's dimension]] via Exor's mouth.
Mario's journey is not over since Smithy has even more minions at his disposal. After many battles, Mario faces and defeats Smithy, saving the Star Road.

Mario has been playable in every ''[[Super Smash Bros. (series)|Super Smash Bros.]]'' game to date. Mario is usually portrayed as a "main" character alongside [[Link]], [[Kirby]], and [[Pikachu]], roughly depicted as the most prominent character and face of the games until ''Ultimate'', where he and Link share mascot status and Kirby is the closest thing to a main character in [[World of Light]]. Mario has retained his balanced abilities even when fighting characters from other series.
Most of Mario's moveset remains the same throughout the games, though his forward smash has been altered from a fist-inflating punch to an explosive palm blast (used from ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' onward). Additionally, his spinning kick forward aerial is replaced with a downward {{wp|Hook (boxing)|hook}} from ''Melee'' onward, while the Mario Tornado has been used as his down aerial since ''Brawl''.
Mario's alter-egos [[Dr. Mario]] and [[Metal Mario]] have also made appearances, with Dr. Mario being playable in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'', ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'', and ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''. Mario also makes additional trophy, sticker, and spirit appearances such as his ''Mario Strikers'' incarnation, his Raccoon form, and him driving a vehicle.
====''Super Smash Bros.''====
In ''Super Smash Bros.'', Mario's standard moveset is inspired from ''[[Super Mario 64]]''; his standard attack is the [[Punch]] + Punch + [[Kick]] combo, his dash attack is the [[Slide Kick]], his down smash is the [[Sweep Kick]], and finally, his back throw is the same throw he uses against [[Bowser]]. His special moves are [[Fireball]], a bouncing fireball; [[Super Jump Punch]], which has him jump, causing [[coin]]s to fly out when in contact with enemies; and [[Mario Tornado]], which has him spinning rapidly. Luigi serves as a [[clone]] of Mario, having the same moveset but with different properties, although in later games, he would be replaced by Dr. Mario.
====''Super Smash Bros. Melee''====
In ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'', Mario gains a side special move: [[Cape]], a cape swipe that reflects projectiles. In contrast to his appearances in most games, he has a very serious and stern look on his face, despite the fact that he is normally portrayed as a cheerful person. Dr. Mario is introduced as a playable character, having near-identical moves.
====''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''====
{{quote2|Oh yeah! HIYAHHHHHHH...!!!|Mario|Super Smash Bros. Brawl}}
In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', like every other character, Mario is given a [[Final Smash]], which is named [[Mario Finale]]. For this move, launches a slow-moving two-streamed blast of fire that hits multiple times. Opponents that come in contact with the blast are knocked slightly to the side, and are thus forced to be traveled with it. His down special move Mario Tornado was replaced by [[F.L.U.D.D.]], which sprays water that can push opponents.
Mario's counterpart, Dr. Mario, does not return as a playable fighter.

For the rest of the adventure, Mario fights with his increasing group until he and his allies defeat Tabuu and restore the world to normal.

=====Cape=====
[[File:
{{main|Cape}}
Mario uses Cape as an attack in each installment of the series (except for ''Super Smash Bros.''). It is his Side + B move. While this attack is not particularly powerful, it is useful in that it can reverse the direction of most projectile attacks, including thrown items. It can also make the foe spin around, and face the other direction. Also note that when Mario uses his cape it is not actually tied around his neck but held in his hand and swung. The Cape also gives Mario a slight vertical lift, which can help him recover somewhat.
Line 605 ⟶ 678:
Mario Finale is Mario's [[Final Smash]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U]]'', and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. As with any Final Smash, Mario must first collect a [[Smash Ball]]. Mario unleashes a giant wave of flames, which expands vertically before him. This bursts across the stage in front of him devastating any opponents in front of him by causing damage and pushing them off the screen along with the wave. This move is the first Final Smash shown in the 2006 E3 trailer. The move is an original one, not based on any specific power in the Mario series other than the traditional [[Fire Mario]], although it is a reference to Mario's fire abilities in various spinoffs.
{{br}}
====''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' / ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U''====
In ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' and ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'', Mario, as any character, can use [[equipment]] to boost his stats at the cost of others. In addition to generic badges, Mario can wear certain additional equipment, including shoes (speed), overalls (defense), and gloves (attack). Finally, Mario can use alternate special moves, provided that these moves are found during normal gameplay. One exception, in the Nintendo 3DS version, is the Explosive Punch, which is unlocked only if the player has a combined score of 200,000 points in Target Blast and the third Challenge Panel has been revealed.
====''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''====
[[File:SSBU Classic Victory Mario.png|thumb|250px|Mario's victory photo in Classic Mode]]
Like every other character previously playable in the series, Mario returns in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' as a playable character. Mario appeared in the game's reveal teaser trailer, alongside Link (in his design from ''The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild'') and new fighter [[Inkling]]. Mario's fire-based attacks, such as his sweet-spotted forward smash, called Fireball, and Mario Finale, have brighter, flashier effects, including the appearance of smoke. Mario also has [[Cappy]] right alongside him, though he seems to be limited to aesthetic. Most of his moves are unaltered, though his Super Jump Punch now has a random chance of producing [[regional coin]]s found in the [[Metro Kingdom]] from ''Super Mario Odyssey''. In addition, Mario's [[Fire Mario]] and [[Wario]]-based costumes were replaced with the Wedding and Builder outfits from ''Super Mario Odyssey''. One of these two costumes, the Builder Outfit, was first used for Mario's artworks for ''Super Mario Maker''. In ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', three more of Mario's standard attacks receive names: His up smash is the Lead Headbutt, his forward air is the Meteor Knuckle, and his back throw is the Airplane Swing. As with several other returning characters, the ''Mario''-series victory theme has been slightly shortened and sped up compared to in the previous installments.
In ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''{{'}}s Adventure mode, Mario is seen when the fighters oppose [[Galeem]] for the first time. Although Mario is not shown to be hit by Galeem's beams directly, he, like every fighter except Kirby, is imprisoned in the World of Light, where a Galeem-serving Puppet Fighter (copy) of him is created. Mario is the first imprisoned fighter saved (being rescued following Kirby's defeat of the Mario puppet fighter), and once rescued, he joins Kirby against Galeem and later [[Dharkon]]. In Mario's Classic Mode route, it is possible to unlock [[Sonic the Hedgehog|Sonic]], [[Bayonetta]], [[Little Mac]], [[Ike]], [[Luigi]], [[Roy (Fire Emblem)|Roy]], Dr. Mario, or [[Captain Olimar|Olimar]].
Mario as he appears in ''Mario Tennis Aces'' is a [[Spirit (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate)|spirit]] in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''.
=====Classic Mode route=====
Mario's Classic Mode route has him fight many characters across different franchises and having no specific theme, similar to Classic Mode's previous iterations. However, Mario has a penultimate battle with Bowser Jr. and the Koopalings, while his final battle is against Bowser/Giga Bowser.

[[File:Mario Paper.jpg|150px|thumb|Mario starts with dotted eyes, a black cap rim, and visible legs in ''[[Paper Mario]]'']]
Mario once again is invited to a party in Peach's Castle in ''[[Paper Mario]]''. Bowser interrupts, uprooting the castle and lifting it into the air. He and Kammy Koopa use the power of the [[Star Rod (Paper Mario)|Star Rod]] and defeat Mario. Bowser then tosses Mario out of the castle. Mario lands in a small forest located on the outskirts of [[Goomba Village (location)|Goomba Village]]. Mario befriends Goombario, his first partner, and heads to [[Toad Town]] via [[Goomba Road]].
Mario hears a [[Star Spirit]] called [[Eldstar]] asking for his help. The Star Spirit requests that he speak to him on [[Shooting Star Summit]], in which he has more strength to speak better. Once there, Mario meets many other Star Spirits asking for his help. He learns that Bowser has imprisoned them in special cards and has given them to his strongest minions. Mario then sets out on a quest in search of the Star Spirits. Mario makes many new friends and partners, eventually collecting all seven Star Spirits. Mario returns to Shooting Star Summit, where he gains access to [[Star Way]]. Mario acquires a new ability called [[Star Beam]] and is transported to Bowser's Castle from [[Star Haven]]. While Mario and his team are at Bowser's Castle, they save the many captives and fight Bowser at the top of the castle.
Bowser breaks the bridge Mario came from, ensuring that Mario cannot escape, and uses his Star Rod to fight. Mario, knowing the Star Rod's counter this time, uses Star Beam to weaken his power. The reluctant Bowser is unaffected by it and shakes the beam's power off. Watching the team's losing, Peach and [[Twink]] fight Kammy, who is responsible for creating the [[Power Platform]] that strengthens Bowser's Star Rod. They defeat Kammy and teach the [[Peach Beam]] while fully restoring Mario's party. Mario and company use the Peach Beam at Bowser to penetrate the Star Rod's shield, leaving him open to attack. Mario and his friends eventually defeat Bowser and once again save the Mushroom Kingdom. The castle returns to the ground from where it came, and another party is held there later while the power of wishes is restored. After a parade led by Luigi, Mario takes Peach to his house, where they watch the fireworks.
During the events of this game, [[Toad Town News]] traces Mario as he tries to save the Star Spirits and posts news about his progress.

Peach invites Mario to [[Rogueport]] in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'' to share a [[Crystal Star Map|treasure map]] leading to powerful artifacts called [[Crystal Stars]]. By the time Mario arrives, the [[X-Nauts (organization)|X-Nauts]] have kidnapped her. The X-Nauts need to use her as a vessel for the [[Shadow Queen]] so the leader of the X-Nauts, [[Sir Grodus]], can use her power to aid him in world domination.
Mario meets [[Professor Frankly]], who tells him the history of Rogueport and reveals the secret of [[the Thousand-Year Door]]. The Shadow Queen has once controlled Rogueport and trapped many of its citizens after Crystal Stars granted her power. The [[Four Legendary Heroes]] have used the power of the Crystal Stars against her and imprisoned her in the Thousand-Year Door for a millennium. After learning this story, Mario sets out to collect all seven Crystal Stars. Gaining many new partners and finding all Crystal Stars, Mario enters the Thousand-Year Door. There he finds Sir Grodus standing before the Shadow Queen's room. Mario defeats Sir Grodus but is then ambushed by Bowser and Kammy Koopa. This gives Grodus time to escape with Peach to the Shadow Queen's room. When Mario arrives, Grodus has awakened the Shadow Queen herself, taking control of Peach's body. Mario has to fight her possessed form, and using the help of the Rogueport citizens' wishes, Mario prevails.
In the [[Glitz Pit]], Mario and his partner's team is named "'''The Great Gonzales'''" (also known as the title '''The Merciless Executioner''') by [[Grubba]]. Additionally in the Glitz Pit, when Mario optionally returns to the Glitz Pit to fight [[Rawk Hawk]] a second time, someone in the crowd yells, "Jumpman! Wait. Who?" referencing Mario's alternate name in ''Donkey Kong'' arcade materials.

''[[Paper Mario: Color Splash]]'', the fifth installment of the ''Paper Mario'' series, sends Mario, Peach, and Toad to [[Prism Island]], which got drained by its color. Here, Mario meets a paint can guardian named [[Huey]], and with his help, Mario saves the [[Big Paint Star]]s and restores color to the island by collecting them in each level while defeating enemies with his Paint Hammer and Battle Cards.
After getting all six Big Paint Stars, Mario is ready to face Bowser by entering Black Bowser's Castle, but he cannot walk up the rainbow road path. Luigi comes in with his kart, and the duo drives off to face Bowser. Mario and Huey defeat Bowser and paints Peach back, and she thanks Mario for his efforts. They leave the castle, but Huey decides to stay behind to drain the castle and sends the black paint far away. That night, a celebration is held for the return of all of the colors in Prism Island. Peach thanks Mario for everything and realizes that Huey will be all right after everything they have done.

Luigi manages to free Mario after he defeats [[Hellen Gravely]]. Mario is very happy that Luigi saved him, and jumps in his arms to hug him, then he immediately leads Luigi to Princess Peach for her to be freed too. However, King Boo traps everyone besides Luigi (who was shoved out of the way by [[Polterpup]]) in a single painting. After Luigi defeats King Boo, Mario and everyone else are freed again, and they all work together to rebuild the hotel, which collapsed after the battle. Afterwards, Mario and the others leave to return home.

===''Mario & Luigi'' series===
Mario and Luigi directly team up in the ''[[Mario & Luigi]]'' series. Throughout the series, the brothers embark on various adventures across the [[Mushroom Kingdom]] and beyond, often tasked with defeating threats not native to the Mushroom Kingdom. Mario is shown to be headstrong when given a task, eager to help those who asked for it, and usually drags Luigi along with him, be it by accident or by force, though he strongly supports Luigi. In terms of battle statistics, Mario, compared to Luigi, has higher power and speed stats, but trails in his defense and HP.
====''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga'' / ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions''====
[[File:Mario M&LSS solo artwork.jpg|150px|thumb|''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga'' artwork of Mario]]
Mario ventures with Luigi through the [[Beanbean Kingdom]] in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'' to stop [[Cackletta]] from taking over the Beanbean Kingdom.
An ambassador from the Beanbean Kingdom visits [[Princess Peach]]. However, the ambassador is actually Cackletta in disguise, and she steals Princess Peach's voice during the visit. Toad runs to [[Mario Bros.' House|Mario's house]], warning him about Princess Peach's voice dilemma. Mario comes out of his shower and gets dressed before rushing to the castle, dragging Luigi along by the clothesline rope. There, Mario fights Bowser, but Peach speaks and interrupts their fight. As she speaks, explosives drop from her mouth and shake the castle. Bowser, outraged that another villain has stolen his spotlight, suggests that Mario go to the Beanbean Kingdom with his [[Koopa Cruiser]]. Mario gets a suitcase and 100 coins from Toadsworth before boarding the airship. Luigi ends up coming along against his will when Bowser mistakenly believes he wants to join his crew.
As they near the Beanbean Kingdom, Cackletta's apprentice, [[Fawful]], causes the Koopa Cruiser to crash, causing Mario and Luigi to land on the [[Stardust Fields|Beanbean Borderlands]]. They find Bowser stuck in a cannon, but conflict with the sleazy [[Tolstar]] causes him to be blasted away. In the meantime, Mario and Luigi rescue [[Prince Peasley]] from Cackletta's spell in [[Hoohoo Mountain]], and the prince grants passage to the [[Beanbean Castle]]. At the Beanbean Castle, however, Mario and Luigi are tricked into disabling the castle's security, allowing Cackletta and Fawful to steal the Beanstar. To make matters worse, [[Queen Bean]] has been infected with a [[Belly Blech]] worm, and Mario and Luigi must retrieve the [[Chuckola Reserve]] at the [[Chateau de Chucklehuck]] for her to recover. They find competition with the self-proclaimed master thief [[Popple]] and his sidekick, [[Rookie]], really an amnesiac Bowser. Once Queen Bean is healed, they learn that the Beanstar can grant any wish when awakened by a pure voice, which is why Cackletta had stolen Princess Peach's voice, and of her invasion in [[Woohoo Hooniversity]]. Mario and Luigi confront Cackletta and Fawful, who attempt to use [[Peach-bot]]s to awaken the Beanstar, but they only enrage it. After Mario and Luigi defeat Cackletta, Prince Peasley knocks Fawful and Cackletta's life essence away. When the two attempt to retrieve the Beanstar, they fight Popple and Rookie, although a partially functioning Peach-bot enrages the Beanstar once more. With Mario, Luigi, Popple, and Rookie hanging on (while Rookie realizes his true identity), they blast away from Woohoo Hooniversity, but the Beanstar shatters into four pieces. Mario and Luigi crash-land at [[Oho Oasis]], but they make their way back to the Beanbean mainland after Prince Peasley informs them of Peach's presence at the [[Beanbean International Airport]].

Mario and the others notice the new Time Holes that appear around the castle. They meet [[Toadiko]] and [[Toadbert]] who tell them about the Shroobs and the [[Princess Shroob]]. They finally collect all five Cobalt Star Shards and break the barrier of the [[Shroob Castle]] (previously [[Princess Peach's Castle]]) and go for the Shroob Princess. The Mario Bros. defeat the Shroob Princess and even the [[Elder Princess Shroob]] and prevail. Professor E. Gadd discovers that the chemical makeup of the babies' tears can revert all of the Shroob's [[Shroobification]]. Thus, all the victims of the Shroobs are saved by the four Mario brothers.

Mario and Luigi attend a meeting at Peach's Castle that is disrupted when Bowser barges in. Bowser then fights Mario and is defeated.

In the ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey]]'', Mario makes a brief appearance in the new ''[[Bowser Jr.'s Journey]]'' mode, where he and Luigi pass by Bowser Jr., who picks a fight with them while in [[Bubble Lake]]. Starlow stops them from fighting, however, reminding them that there is no time for this, even for Bowser Jr. In the story timeline, this event happens while searching for the Star Cures, making it a mishap if they were looking for the third Star Cure because Junior sees his father (who would be trapped in a safe) as a giant later in Bubble Lake.
[[File:Mario - Mario & Luigi Dream Team.png|thumb|150px|left|upright=0.85|''Mario & Luigi: Dream Team'']]
Mario reappears along with Luigi in the fourth installment of the ''Mario & Luigi'' series, ''[[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]]'', where he, his brother, Princess Peach, Toadsworth, and the Toads are invited to [[Pi'illo Island]] by [[Dr. Snoozemore]] through a message that was delivered by his Broggy. Mario and Luigi follow Peach and Toadsworth when they end up ejected into the ruins and find them surrounded by a group of [[Smoldergeist]], which flee when the brothers arrive. Here they find a Pi'illo, which later turns out to be [[Prince Dreambert]]. This action causes the Smoldergeist to come back and attack the brothers. After beating the group and leaving the ruins, the brothers come to a collection room. Here Luigi takes a nap on the pillow. After everyone gathers in the collection room, a [[Dream Portal]] opens a portal to a place called the [[Dream World]]. This allows [[Antasma]], unknown by anyone, to pull Princess Peach into the world against her will. After Mario chases after Peach into [[Dreamy Pi'illo Castle]], with the help of Dreamy [[Broque Monsieur]], he meets Dreamy Luigi, Luigi's dream representation, who assists Mario in the Dream World. Later in the game, it is revealed that while Luigi can open a portal to the Dream World, Mario cannot.

Mario's distinctive look is due to technology restrictions in the mid-1980s, particularly Nintendo's inability to depict Popeye. With a limited number of pixels and colors, the game developers, including Mario's creator, [[Shigeru Miyamoto]], could not animate Mario's movement without making his arms "disappear" if his shirt was a solid color, so they gave Mario overalls. The developers additionally did not have the space to give him a mouth, the result of Mario's mustache. Mario has a big nose to have his face read better in the limited pixel space. Mario was made stocky so he cover best in the space he was allocated in. Finally, they used a cap to bypass the problem of animating and drawing hair.
Mario has undergone major changes since his initial appearance in ''Donkey Kong'' up until ''Super Mario Bros.''
Since ''Super Mario Bros.'', however, Mario is depicted as a stocky young man who wears a trademark cap, a long-sleeved red shirt, blue overalls with two yellow buttons, brown shoes, and white gloves, with a large round face, a big round nose, clear and slightly tanned skin, chocolate brown hair (although the DiC cartoons sometimes depict it as black like his mustache) with three locks on the front, just above his forehead, four back locks that cover the back of his neck and a small sprout-like tuft on the top of his head, and a black mustache (sometimes brown like his hair). His neck is very short, to the point that both in artwork and in gameplay outside the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series, it is very rarely visible due to Mario's large head and the position of his chin. Though he was originally imagined as middle-aged, his age has been approximated to be about 26 years old,<ref>[http://themushroomkingdom.net/ssbm_j2e.shtml#trophies ''Super Smash Bros.

In ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Movie]]'', Mario's appearance remains mostly unchanged, but his clothes and hair are more detailed. His eyes were also made slightly smaller than usual.
While Mario is consistently portrayed as a short character, his precise height and proportions vary across media. An Amazon listing for a figure of Mario that is marketed as "life-size" lists its height as 150 cm (4 ft 11 in.) tall.<ref>[https://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/product/B005BLYI2O ''Amazon'' page for the life-size figure of Mario]</ref> Crossover artwork featuring Mario and [[Sonic the Hedgehog]] (who stands at 1 m / 3 ft 3 in.) shows Mario at around the same height as him, if not two or three inches shorter due to Sonic's quills. Mario's height relationship with other humans has been varied. Some media, such as ''Super Mario Odyssey'' and ''Mario's Time Machine'', show Mario as much shorter than a realistic human, while others, including ''Mario Golf'' and the DIC cartoons, show Mario's height closer relative to other humans. The director of ''Super Mario Odyssey'', [[Kenta Motokura]], stated in an interview that New Donk City was realistic to showcase the extent of Mario's abilities in a realistic environment for a scale that is easy to understand,<ref>rawmeatcowboy (October 22, 2017).

Line 871 ⟶ 1,036:
Originally, Mario wore red overalls on top of a blue shirt—nearly the opposite colors of what he wears now. The Famicom version of ''[[Mario Bros. (game)|Mario Bros.]]'' is the first game to depict Mario with blue overalls and a red undershirt (although on the box art, he is depicted entirely in blue), but ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'' standardized Mario's current colors.
Mario's trademark is his red cap with his red "M" insignia. Mario's cap is sometimes an important and even mandatory accessory in some games, such as ''[[Super Mario 64]]'', where he takes more damage without his cap. In ''Super Mario Sunshine'', if Mario loses his cap, he acquires damage over time from the heat of the sun. In most media
Mario has seen some variations to his outfit in the games. In ''Super Mario Sunshine'', for instance, Mario has shorter sleeves. In addition, Mario can wear a tropical shirt over his normal shirt, along with sunglasses that darken the screen, if he talks to the [[Sunglasses vendor]]. Mario also usually gains alternate outfits when using power-ups, from simple recolors to covering his whole body, such as [[Fire Mario]], [[Tanooki Mario]], [[Propeller Mario]], [[Flying Squirrel Mario]], and [[Cat Mario]]. Finally, Mario can resemble different characters, even outside the ''Mario'' series, by using a [[Mystery Mushroom]] to change into one of the various forms of Costume Mario in ''Super Mario Maker''. He even has a pumpkin Halloween costume that has him in his normal outfit, but with a pumpkin head he can put his head into, along with a purple cape.
Line 894 ⟶ 1,059:
Mario has been shown on very occasions, such as certain cutscenes in ''Mario Power Tennis'', but often in ''Super Mario-kun'', to have an almost overbearing attitude towards his brother. However, this could also just be Mario's outgoing "big brother" personality interacting with Luigi's more introverted nature. While Mario will accept help and even partners during his adventures, at times he may also resent the implication that he needs the help in the first place. Despite this, he seems to enjoy their company.
Mario, although competitive, shows generally good sportsmanship, even complimenting his opponents, as shown in instances like ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' (he says, "Good play!" when he is in a good standing but not first place) and ''[[Fortune Street]]''. He still shows disappointment when he loses, however, and he is occasionally visibly frustrated but restrained such as in ''Mario Strikers Charged'' where he exhales to contain his anger, and in ''Mario Party 10'' where he stomps his foot before sitting.
It has been said that Mario loves animals, especially the most unusual ones,<ref name="1993 Nintendo Character Manual">Green, Matthew. (December 30, 2014). [http://www.pressthebuttons.com/2014/12/mario-kirby-and-samus-aran-shine-in-the-nintendo-character-manual.html Mario, Kirby, And Samus Aran Shine In The Nintendo Character Manual].

Retrieved February 16, 2016.</ref> and he also enjoys music, particularly opera or new-wave Europop,<ref name="1993 Nintendo Character Manual"/> 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. Finally, game art and gameplay depict Mario playing the saxophone,<ref>[[:File:MarioplaySaxophone.png]]</ref><ref>[[:File:SM3DW Art.jpg]]</ref><ref>[[:File:8bitMario Bigband.png]]</ref> piano, guitar, synthesizer, timpani, xylophone, and trumpet.<!--Revealed by what?--> Mario is also said to be an avid ''{{wp|All Night Nippon}}'' listener.<ref>''All Night Nippon Super Mario Bros.'' instruction booklet, pages 6 and 7.</ref>
Mario seems to have a fixation with food. This is most notably seen in the [[DiC Entertainment]] cartoons, 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.
{{inappropriate
|text=Mario has occasionally shown aggressive or vulgar tendencies throughout his appearances, albeit in a lighthearted and comic-relief manner; a notable exception is in ''[[Super Mario Momotarō]]'', when Mario is shown holding a gun and aiming at Bowser, albeit to intimidate him. In ''Super Mario-kun'', Mario frequently scolds or teases his friends for failing or otherwise making simple gags. Like the other characters in ''Super Mario-kun'', Mario sometimes engages in crude behavior, such as farting to taunt his opponents or urinating on Yoshi. He has also cross-dressed on several occasions. Both the title and the art style of the manga 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]], his 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.
Line 904 ⟶ 1,073:
Overall, Mario is a kind-hearted and brave hero who often places the problems and needs of others before his own. This is shown in ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'' when [[Doopliss]] steals his identity, and he is still willing to help [[Vivian]] with her problem. He is willing to risk his life to save the lives of millions from Bowser's destructive forces and any other villains he comes across.
===Speech===
Like many other protagonists of Nintendo games, Mario rarely speaks, his dialogue being primarily limited to numerous grunts and yells, making him a mostly semi-silent protagonist. When he does speak, he speaks English, sometimes broken, with a heavy Italian accent, often referring to himself in the third person. 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 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 some [[Square Enix]] media, including ''[[Itadaki Street DS]]'' and ''[[Fortune Street]]'', as well as the promotional ''[[Mario Sports Mix Press Conference]]''.<ref>Nintendo. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G8sYvNtjXRI Mario Sports Mix Press Conference]. ''YouTube''. Retrieved October 4, 2017.</ref> Despite Nintendo's emphasis on Mario as a silent protagonist, 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)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]], Mario is far less vocal than in the ''Mario'' games; specifically in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' onwards, where he speaks in a far deeper voice than any of his installments.
Likewise, 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 his usual voice in the latter games. Mario is also silent during dialogue scenes in the ''Mario Baseball'', ''Mario Tennis Aces'', ''Mario Golf'', and ''Mario & Sonic'' series, although he can technically talk. In these games, other characters speak for him, mainly Lakitu and Toad. 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; aside from the ''Mario Sports Mix Press Conference'', Mario has also spoken in full sentences in the Nintendo 3DS system demonstration,<ref>mattwu64. (November 3, 2011). "[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KYa7G467_Yo Super Mario's Nintendo 3DS Tour]." ''YouTube''. Accessed July 16, 2022.</ref> and [[Play Nintendo]]'s series of Mario reading letters.<ref>Play Nintendo. (November 20, 2017). "[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FrM0gXWxfQo Mario Reads Your Letters]". ''YouTube''. Accessed July 16, 2022.</ref> In the [[Cat Mario Show]], however, Mario has an entirely different voice and can speak perfect English. Mario can also fully speak, albeit with a less exaggerated Italian accent, at several real-world promotional venues.<ref>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ihWsOcbS_E</ref><ref>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=atM5ZjqVVE4</ref>
The ''[[Super Smash Bros. (series)|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 ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''{{'}}s [[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 (character)|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.
