'''Rabbid Mario''' is a [[Rabbid]] dressed as [[Mario]], who first appears as one of the eight main heroes in ''[[Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle]]''. He was created when [[Spawny]] used the [[SupaMerge]] to fuse a Rabbid with a [[Mario Cap]]. In ''Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle'', Rabbid Mario teams up with Mario, [[Luigi]], [[Princess Peach]], [[Yoshi]], [[Rabbid Luigi]], [[Rabbid Peach]], and [[Rabbid Yoshi]] to save the [[Mushroom Kingdom]] from Rabbid-fused enemies and [[Bowser Jr.]]'s attempted takeover.

Aside from the introductory cutscene detailing his creation, Rabbid Mario is first found frozen in [[Sherbet Desert]]. With [[Toad]]'s help, he is thawed after the battle with [[Blizzy]] and [[Sandy]], joining the crew on their adventure.

In-game, he is described as a '''Brawler''' with great offense and mobility, but poor defense. His primary weapon is a Boomshot, and his secondary weapon is a Melee, making him effective at close-range combat and area attacks. His "Boom Dash" allows him to create shockwaves when he dashes into a foe, harming anyone (enemy or ally) within the blast radius for a percentage of the damage inflicted on his main target. His special abilities include Bodyguard, a barrier that reduces the damage he takes from movement-based attacks (such as Dashes or Ground Pounds), and Magnet Dance, which forces enemies within its range to move toward Rabbid Mario. His Magnet dance can also be used with "line-of-sight techniques" as well as other forced movement abilities or weapons that have a high chance of inflicting Burn, Push, or Bounce to force nearby enemies out of hiding and deal extra damage. His Bodyguard ability can also be used with Peach's Protection ability to reduce damage Rabbid Mario takes from both movement-based damage and weapon-based damage. His Boom Dash can also be used in tandem with Mario's M-power to increase damage.

Rabbid Mario also appears in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' as a [[Spirit (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate)|spirit]].

Rabbid Mario again appears in ''[[Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope]]''. He now wields a weapon called the Dukes,<ref> https://www.nintendo.com/store/products/mario-plus-rabbids-sparks-of-hope-gold-edition-switch/</ref> which are two steel gauntlets that produce shockwaves so that it can even hit enemies behind cover. His technique is Counter Blow, which will trigger if an enemy attacks Rabbid Mario.<ref> https://www.ubisoft.com/en-us/game/mario-rabbids/sparks-of-hope/news-updates/54KqtyUg25UlrGQ20LC0ga/mario-rabbids-sparks-of-hope-a-deep-dive-into-combat-and-hero-archetypes </ref> He is also now voiced by David Gasman and speaks in a stereotypical Italian-Brooklyn accent, even shouting "Mamma mia!" at [[Rabbid Luigi]] after he collides into him during the transition to the team's first battle.<ref>Shirrako (September 22, 2022).

==History==

===''Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle''===
Rabbid Mario was created in the [[Genius Girl]]'s basement, after she left and the Rabbids invaded. When [[Spawny]] put on the Supamerge Headset, he accidentally created [[Rabbid Peach]] and a Balloon Rabbid using the headset. More blasts of energy were fired from it, hitting a Rabbid with Mario's cap, creating Rabbid Mario. When the [[Time Washing Machine]] malfunctions from a blast, it creates a vortex that vacuums all of the Rabbids into it, and transports them to the [[Mushroom Kingdom]].

When the Rabbids were brought to the Mushroom Kingdom, they were all falling down, including [[Beep-0]], who tried to stop them earlier. Rabbid Mario somehow got frozen in a block of ice and has presumably fallen to [[Sherbet Desert]]. He is not seen again until Mario and his friends reach there.

While exploring the Sherbet Desert, the heroes come across [[Toad]], who is looking for [[Toadette]], whom the heroes have talked to when they entered. Toad then asks the heroes to reunite the two, which irritates Beep-0. As a reward for helping them, Toad shows the heroes Rabbid Mario, who is still frozen like he was earlier. After some battles, Toad and Toadette are reunited, and Mario and Co. defeat [[Bowser Jr.]]'s last-second reinforcements, [[Blizzy]] and [[Sandy]]. After the two are defeated, Rabbid Mario thaws out of his ice block and meets Mario. He then plays his mandolin to the tune of the main theme of ''[[Super Mario Bros]]'', and the two instantly bond. Rabbid Mario then joins the heroes on their adventure.

As the heroes make their way across [[Spooky Trails]] and the [[Lava Pit]], they eventually defeat the [[Megabug]], who has possessed [[Bowser]], known as [[MegaDragonBowser]]. All of the heroes use their weapons to defeat the separated Megabug and destroy it for good, saving the Mushroom Kingdom.

Back at [[Peach's Castle]], the heroes unveil a statue of Rabbid Peach, and all take a victory selfie.

===''Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope''===
Rabbid Mario returns in ''Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope''. At Peach's Castle, Mario and Rabbid Peach must find Rabbid Mario's overalls, which has caused the latter to hide in a bush in shame. After they are returned to him, [[Rabbid Luigi]] admits that he hid his overalls. [[Spark (Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope)|Sparks]] then fall from the sky, followed by the [[Darkmess Manta]], which attacks and abducts Rabbid Peach, motivating Mario and Beep-0 to save her. The Spark [[Starburst]] joins them as well. The Darkmess Manta takes the group to [[Cursa]], but [[Luigi]], [[Princess Peach]], Rabbid Luigi and Rabbid Mario use the [[WM ARC]] and rescue them from Cursa just in time.

On the planet [[Beacon Beach]], the heroes meet [[Edge]], who Rabbid Mario instantly develops a crush on, although does not feel the same way for him. Throughout the game, Rabbid Mario tries to impress Edge such as building a giant "snow Rabbid", and also claiming that the two of them "make a great team", which annoys her.

As the heroes travel across the planets, they eventually reach to [[Cursa's stronghold]]. Together, they all defeat Cursa and rescue [[Rosalina]]. They all they travel back to Peach's Castle, where Rosalina congratulates everyone, including Bowser, who is not satisfied. Rabbid Mario, Rabbid Peach, and Rabbid Luigi then attempt to play with Bowser, which worries Mario. Angry, Bowser breathes a fireball, launching the Rabbids away from him.

==Personality==
Similar to most Rabbids, Rabbid Mario is playful, mischievous, curious, and reckless. He likes mimicking Mario, and tends to show-off his strength. He is fearless, flamboyant, adventurous, and will not back down from a challenge.<ref name=figurine>http://store.ubi.com/anz/mario-%2B-rabbids-kingdom-battle--rabbid-mario-3--/5927f3726b54a472658b4570.html</ref> Rabbid Mario seems to have an ear for music as he plays his mandolin and performs his own version of the ''Super Mario Bros.'' theme song. This can also be recognized in his victory animation, which has him strum a small tune that resembles that of losing a life in ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', as well as some of his voice clips used in-game, which reference the 'Lose a Life' and '1-UP' jingles from ''Super Mario Bros.''

''Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope'' expands more on Rabbid Mario's personality. He is shown to be more boisterous and takes great pride in his strength and appearance as seen several times throughout the game. Rabbid Mario is also somewhat of a hopeless romantic, as he tries to woo Edge several times and fails. Unlike Mario, he tends to be more underappreciated but still remains loyal to his comrades.

==Relationships with other characters==
*[[Rabbid]]s, [[Rabbid Peach]], [[Rabbid Yoshi]], [[Rabbid Luigi]], and [[Spawny]] - Rabbid Mario treats his fellow Rabbids the same, with mischief and compassion. He was shown to be happy to see them at Peach's Castle. During the adventure, he aids his fellow Rabbids in battle.
*[[Mario]] - He idolizes Mario and often tries to mimic him, as shown when they first meet after defeating Blizzy and Sandy and he plays a ''Super Mario Bros.'' arrangement on his mandolin, which amuses Mario and they befriend each other. Despite this, he still occasionally mocks him, such as when he laughs at him during [[Phantom (boss)|Phantom]]'s song.
*[[Yoshi]] - Like his companions, Rabbid Mario and Yoshi are in good terms, as shown when after defeating the Megabug, Yoshi gives Rabbid Mario a ride on his back when they are about to take Megabug down with the finishing blow.
*[[Beep-0]] - Rabbid Mario treats Beep-0 well, but due to his unpredictable nature, Beep-0 will get frustrated with him and the other Rabbids.
*[[Edge]] - After Edge first appears, Rabbid Mario instantly develops a crush on her.
*[[Rayman]] - In the teaser trailer for the Rayman DLC for ''Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope'', Rabbid Mario, Rabbid Peach and Beep-0 are seen checking into a hotel. While checking in, the group meet Rayman. Rabbid Mario shows politeness towards Rayman by shaking his hand, but faints upon learning that Rayman's arms are not attached to him.<ref>GameXplain (June 12, 2023). [https://youtu.be/fFoLPAUaL5Q First Look at RAYMAN in Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope! (Ubisoft Forward)]. ''YouTube''.

''No analysis to understand Rabbid Mario is given easily to boasting. As strong of a fighter as he is, thanks to his fighting gloves, the Dukes, he needn't bother bragging. Still, he is vulnerable to being attacked from long distances, as even his Technique allows him to counterattack only if an enemy is within range. Each Hero is so different. The psychology at play is fascinating.''
