'''{{wp|Genghis Khan}}''' (Mongolian: '''ᠴᠢᠩᠭᠢᠰ ᠬᠠᠭᠠᠨ''', ''Chinggis Khagan'') (c. 1162 – August 1227), formatted in-game as "Ghengis Kahn," was a Mongolian military leader and politician known for founding the Mongol Empire, which went on to become the largest contingent empire in the world and the second-largest empire overall (behind the British Empire). In [[Mario is Missing! (PC)|the PC version of ''Mario is Missing!'']], he appears as one of the incorrect options for the question "The words of which leader are inscribed at the monument's base?", which Luigi must answer in order to return the stolen [[Monument to the People's Heroes]] to [[Tian An Men Square]]. | '''{{wp|Genghis Khan}}''' (Mongolian: '''ᠴᠢᠩᠭᠢᠰ ᠬᠠᠭᠠᠨ''', ''Chinggis Khagan'') (c. 1162 – August 1227), formatted in-game as "Ghengis Kahn," was a Mongolian military leader and politician known for founding the Mongol Empire, which went on to become the largest contingent empire in the world and the second-largest empire overall (behind the British Empire).

'''{{wp|Herod I}}''' (Greek: '''Ἡρῴδης''', ''Hērṓidēs''; Hebrew: '''הוֹרְדוֹס''', ''Hōrəḏōs'') (c. 72 BCE – c. 4 BCE) was a Roman Jew who ruled as the king of Judea from around 37 BCE until his death in 4 BCE. He is best known for his role in the Gospel of Matthew, which claims that he ordered the mass slaughter of all male infants in and around Bethlehem to avert the prophecy of the newborn Jesus' ascension as the Jewish Messiah. Today, Biblical scholars consider this event a myth. In [[Mario is Missing!

'''{{wp|Michael Collins (astronaut)|Michael "Mike" Collins}}''' (October 31, 1930 – April 28, 2021) was an American astronaut best known as the third crew member in the Apollo 11 mission, which carried Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin to the [[Moon]] and allowed them to become the first humans to walk on its surface on July 21, 1969. Unlike Armstrong and Aldrin, Collins did not set foot on the lunar surface, as he had to continue piloting the command module so that the three of them could safely return to Earth. In the [[Mario Quiz Cards]], Collins is mentioned on the back of a card which tasks players with identifying the first men to walk on the moon; the card names him as one of the three men who piloted the Apollo 11 spacecraft (the card refers to the mission with the unconventional formatting "Apollo XI"; even official NASA iconography uses Arabic numerals for the mission's name rather than Roman ones). | '''{{wp|Michael Collins (astronaut)|Michael "Mike" Collins}}''' (October 31, 1930 – April 28, 2021) was an American astronaut best known as the third crew member in the Apollo 11 mission, which carried Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin to the [[Moon]] and allowed them to become the first humans to walk on its surface on July 21, 1969.

{{wp|Elizabeth II}} (April 21, 1926 - September 8, 2022), referred to in ''Super Mario'' media as the '''Queen of England''' or simply the '''Queen''', was an English noblewoman who reigned as the {{wp|Monarchy of the United Kingdom|queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland}} from 1952 until her death in 2022, making her the country's longest-serving monarch. In ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!]]'' live-action segment "[[No Way to Treat a Queenie]]", the Queen pays a visit to [[New York City]], which excites Luigi, who hopes to meet her. Mario explains to Luigi that the Queen would never come to [[Brooklyn]] and is too high up to mingle with little people like them. However, [[Liz]], a woman pretending to be the Queen, comes to [[Super Mario Bros. Plumbing|Mario Brothers Plumbing]] and convinces Mario and Luigi that she really is the Queen. During her stay, they treat her like common folk, allowing her to clean and cook. She then knights Mario and Luigi as sirs before her doctor arrives, explaining that she had escaped from her home and had to return. Although they realized that the woman was not a good Queen, she did make a good fish and chips pizza. | |||

'''Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov''' (Russian: '''Владимир Ильич Ульянов''') (April 22, 1870 – January 21, 1924), better known as '''{{wp|Vladimir Lenin}}''' (Russian: '''Владимир Ленин'''), was a Russian political theorist and communist revolutionary who served as the first ''de facto'' leader of the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic from 1917 until his death in 1924 and of the Soviet Union from 1922 until his death (though he was not the ''de jure'' {{wp|List of heads of state of the Soviet Union|head of state}}). He is also known as the founder and namesake of Marxism-Leninism, which served as the leading school of communism until the Soviet Union's dissolution at the end of 1991, and for leading the October Revolution, which deposed the Russian Republic in favor of its Soviet counterpart.
