Mario

Mario is an adventurer and legendary hero of the Mushroom Kingdom. Born and raised in New Donk City, he and his brother, Luigi, ran their own plumbing business known as the Mario Bros. Despite the stability of their lives, he was determined to have more out of life. During a job, he and his brother ended up in the Mushroom Kingdom after going through a transit series of interconnected pipes. Upon entering the kingdom, they found themselves amid a war against the Koopa Kingdom. They also found themselves acquainted with the Mushroom Kingdom Royal Family, including King Horatio Toadstool and his daughter and second line to the throne, Princess Peach Toadstool. Mario spent time with the King’s daughter and begins to fall in love with the kind and noble princess. While attending the 40th Anniversary Jubilee of King Toadstool’s reign, Mario was in attendance when the celebration was attacked by the Koopa Army led by King Bowser. During the scrimmage Bowser kidnapped Princess Peach and held her for ransom. Determined to serve, he and Luigi decided to join up with Mushroom Army to go out and rescue Peach. During his journey, Mario had attacked multiple Koopa bases alongside the Toad Commandos. Despite seemingly losing Luigi during a mission, Mario carried on helping the team in the Mushroom War. After defeating Bowser, saving the princess, and recovering the Star Rod, Mario and his team were declared heroes of the Mushroom Kingdom. His famous exploits had made him a living legend, and during this time he formed a relationship with Princess Peach.

Sometime after the Battle of Bower’s Castle, Mario received a distress signal from Star Haven. Mario arrived and is met by Kirby and Meta Knight of the planet Popstar. The latter thanks Mario for retrieving the Star Rod, but he immediately warns him of an impending attack on Amanita. The three headed over to the Mushroom Castle to warn King Toadstool. Upon hearing the news, the Kingdom is evacuated, while King Toadstool, the Mushroom Army, as well as Mario, Kirby, and Meta Knight stay behind to enact their plan of action at the Northern Mushroom Fortress. When their base is attacked by a swarm of purple polyhedrons, they are saved by intergalactic bounty hunter Samus Aran and Hylian warrior Link. Mario and others board the Halberd, Meta’s Knight’s signature airship, and are attacked by the Great Fox while their ship is intercepted by Donkey Kong, King Dedede, Metal Mario, and Dark Link. Once the Great Fox was disabled, Star Fox leader Fox McCloud and his team realized that Mario and the others were not a threat and that Donkey Kong had been manipulated by Bowser. After defeating Dark Link, Metal Mario, and King Dedede they learn of about the Master Hand, a cosmic being tied to the link between the universe and beyond that has been manipulating them to fight each. Mario allies himself with the other intergalactic heroes to form the Super Smash Bros. and defeat the Master Hand and the X-Nauts. Due to the Battle of Amanita, he suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder, leading him to have frequent nightmares.

Mario visited Victor Crygor to undergo an alternative treatment that can help relieve him of his nightmares by using the Dream Machine. However, Crygor’s AI, WART, believed that Amanita and the rest of the universe was a threat and thus, according to its program, decided to extinguish the universe by manipulating the subconsciousness of every inhabitant across the universe inside the Dream Dimension. With the help of Link, Mario defeated WART and his minions and once again saved the universe from certain destruction. A week after the Battle of Subcon, Mario and Princess Peach visit Luigi’s grave to pay their respects but are ambushed by The Green Thunder.
