Character Bios

Mario Mario
First Appearance: Donkey Kong, 1981
Likes: Mushrooms, Princess Peach, his brother, Luigi
Dislikes: Bowser, Wario, stale pasta

Mario, also known as "Mr. Nintendo", occasionally, is one of video games' best heroes! Although he is best known as a plumber, he has also been a carpenter, a doctor, a boxing refree, a tennis pro, a racing kart driver, and a golfer! He started off as Donkey Kong's adversary, but then volunteered his help in ridding the Mushroom Kingdom of the evil Koopa King, Bowser, and the two have been rivals since! Mario's basic attacks include jumping, punching, and kicking, as well. He is also very good with a hammer, and can shoot fireballs! Mario has had many adventures in his time, and they are not about to end soon!


Luigi Mario
First Appearance: Mario Bros, 1983
Likes: His brother, Mario, Princess Daisy (a rumor), green stuff
Dislikes: Ghosts!, Waluigi, evil (overall)

Luigi, Mario's brother, seemed to always be left out of the spotlight, but Luigi IS a hero in his own right! He's saved Mario and the Mushroom Kingdom numerous times, and is very well proud of it all! Like his brother, Luigi is also well known for his jumping, but what really sets him apart from Mario is his ability to jump higher and run slightly faster then Mario! Also like his brother, Luigi is also good with a hammer, but in Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga, an RPG featuing both the Mario brothers, Luigi has learned what is known as the Thunderhand, which allows him to shoot lighting from his hand! His Green Missile, learned for Super Smash Bros. Melee, is one of his most powerful attacks, which is shooting himself forward in a blazing green blast! Luigi is one lean, green, fighting machine!


Peach Toadstool
First Appearance: Super Mario Bros, October 1985
Likes: Mario Bros, her subjects, cake
Dislikes: Bowser, being kidnapped, rudeness

Kind and gentle, yet strong-headed and brave, Princess Toadstool (Peach) is the ruler of the Mushroom Kingdom. She has great fashion sense and actually a pretty good cook! When she hasn't been kidnapped (usually by Bowser), Peach oversees her people from the safety of her castle. A lot of people have been saying that Peach and Mario are "going at it", if you know what I mean, and there is a lot of proof to back it up (Peach's lines in Paper Mario for example). And can you blame them? Mario has been saving Peach for almost 20 years (FYI, Super Mario Bros. 20th anniversary is coming this October)! When she isn't being kidnapped, she likes to throw parties and host tennis and golf tournaments!

But just because she's a princess, that doesn't mean she doesn't know how to fight! One of her most basic attacks is picking up Vegetables from the ground throwing them at enemies (she first showed this off in Super Mario Bros. 2)! She also uses her parasol and sometimes, even a frying pan! But what's really unique about her is her ability to float in mid-air for a few seconds as she jumps! A most unique talent indeed, also first shown in Super Mario Bros. 2! Peach will also get to show her stuff in an upcoming DS game, Super Princess Peach! She may be a princess, but she's one tough cookie!

Bowser Koopa
First Appearance: Super Mario Bros, October 1985
Likes: Princess Peach, being mean, his children, the Koopalings
Dislikes: Mario Bros.!, his plans failing, bad guys stealing his shtick

Big, bad, and ugly all rolled into one, Bowser is one of Mario's fiercest enemies! He controls a vast number of minions, not to mention his seven children (or eight, counting Bowser Jr.), which he uses to carry out his evil schemes! Bowser has tried many attempts to defeat the Mario Bros., including kidnapping Peach (numerous times), invading the Mushroom World (Super Mario Bros. 3), kidnapping the Yoshis (Super Mario World), kidnapping Luigi (Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island), kidnapping Mario (Mario is Missing), taking over Peach's castle and using the Power Stars to control it (Super Mario 64), stealing the Star Rod (Paper Mario), and tricking his youngest son, Bowser Jr., into thinking Peach was his mother (Super Mario Sunshine)! And yet, after all of that, he still keeps trying.

However, even though Bowser is Mario's archenemy, they have teamed up on occasion. In Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars, Bowser teamed up with Mario in order to get his Keep back from Smithy, the evil Lord of Weapons! And in Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga, Bowser and the Mario Bros. decided to join forces to get Princess Peach’s voice back from the evil witch, Cackletta, even though that didn’t last very long. Having Bowser as an ally is a very wise decision, as he is very powerful! He has a variety of attacks, including his trademarked fire breath, his Bowser Bomb (like Mario’s ground pound), and his powerful Chain Chomp toss! And even though he has a shell, he hardly ever hides in it! With so many attacks, numerous minions, and his powerfully built body, Bowser is a constant threat to the Mushroom Kingdom!

Yoshi
First appearance: Super Mario World
Likes: Mario bros, justice
Dislikes: Bowser, Evil and being trapped in eggs.

Toad
First Appearance: Super Mario Bros, October 1985
Likes: Mario, Peach, Toadette, racing, tennis, baseball and other sports.
Dislikes: All enemies, especially Bowser.

Toad's quiet life as one of Princess Toadstool's loyal servants was changed forever the day Bowser descended on the Mushroom Kingdom. Toad, who was quickly moving up in status, had been assigned to guard the Kingdom's sixth castle. Bowser sent seven minions out to hunt down the princess. When Toad refused to disclose her location, he was captured and imprisoned in the very castle he was supposed to be guarding.

Days passed and finally Toad was rescued by Mario. Toad never forgot Mario for what he did. He came along with Mario on his next quest, and continues to offer help by providing Mario with items and advise to this day.

In his free time Toad enjoys playing games with Mario and his friends, but he still doesn't understand why Bowser gets invited.
 

Birdo
First appearance: Super Mario Bros.2
Likes: Shooting eggs
Dislikes:Being hit with her own eggs

Birdo first appeared as a boss at the end of the level who shot eggs in an attempt to kill you. In order to kill her, you had to pick up her own eggs and hit her three times. If you could do that, she would spew out a crystal that allows you to open the crow's mouth to exit the level. Birdo is usually pink but comes in many colors such as, Red which shot out fire balls and eggs, and Green which shot out only fire balls. To defeat it, you had to find a mushroom block to throw at her. In order to advance in world 4-3 in SMB2, you needed to ride her egg.
