'''Geno''' (real name: '''♡♪!?''' in the original or '''♡♪！？''' in the remake) is a warrior from the [[Star Road (Super Mario RPG)|Star Road]] and one of [[Mario]]'s partners in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'' and [[Super Mario RPG (Nintendo Switch)|its remake]]. He is sent by "a higher authority" to restore peace to Mario's world by inhabiting a wooden doll. During the events of ''Super Mario RPG'', he teams up with Mario's team, which consists of Mario, [[Mallow]], [[Princess Peach]], and [[Bowser]], and helps them out on their quest to defeat [[Smithy]]. In battle, he has high attack, but lower defense.

When [[Smithy]] launches his attack on [[Mushroom World]], he decides to make [[Bowser's Castle|Bowser's Keep]] his base of operations. Thus [[Exor]], the dimensional gateway to Smithy's world, crashes into the castle and occupies it. However, as Exor fell from the sky, he shatters the Star Road. As a result, seven [[Star Piece (Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars)|Star Pieces]] are scattered throughout Mushroom World. With the Star Road broken, [[wish]]es cannot be granted. Because of this, Geno is sent to retrieve the Star Pieces and restore the power of wishes to the world.

Some time later, [[Rose Town]] is besieged by the Smithy Gang. [[Bowyer]] is launching arrows into the town and paralyzing people. Many people in Rose Town fear leaving their homes out of potentially being paralyzed by one of Bowyer's arrows.


[[File:Rose_Town_Innkeeper.png|thumb|left|Geno as a doll in the Rose Town Inn.]]
During this time of crisis, [[Mario]] and [[Mallow]] arrive in Rose Town. The pair enters the Town Inn, and while inside, Mario sees a young boy named [[Gaz]] playing with his dolls of [[Mario doll|Mario]], [[Dolly|Peach]], and [[Bowser doll|Bowser]]. [[Rose Town innkeeper|Gaz's mom]] asks Mario to play with her son, which he agrees to. Mario pretends to be Bowser, and Gaz pretends to be his favorite of the dolls, Geno. Gaz ends up playing too rough however, and activates Geno's "Super Star Shot". Instead of hitting the Bowser doll, the blast accidentally hits Mario, knocking him out.
Some time later, [[Rose Town]] is besieged by the [[Smithy Gang]]. [[Bowyer]], one of Smithy's lieutenants, is launching arrows into the small town and paralyzing people. As a result, the people of Rose Town cannot leave their homes for fear of being paralyzed by one of Bowyer's arrows.


During this time of crisis, Mario and [[Mallow]] arrive in Rose Town. Seeking shelter from the arrows, the pair enters the town inn. Inside, Mario sees a young boy named [[Gaz]] playing with his [[Mario Doll|dolls of Mario]], [[Peach Doll|Peach]], and [[Bowser Doll|Bowser]]. He is recreating one of Mario's various adventures. Gaz's mom, who is also the innkeeper, asked the plumber to play with her son. Gaz pretends to be Mario, and Mario pretends to be Bowser. During the pretend battle, the Mario Doll "bought the farm," so Gaz brings his newest doll: Geno. However, Gaz plays a little too rough. He activated Geno's "Super Star Shot" and instead of hitting the Bowser Doll, the blast inadvertently hits Mario, knocking him out.
That night, a single star being enters the Inn. Seeing the four dolls on the floor, the star decides to inhabit the Geno doll. Now possessing the doll, the star has problems with walking, and slams into the wall before leaving the inn. Later, Geno admits he chose that particular doll because it appeared to be the strongest of the four.

The next morning, Gaz tells his mom that he saw the living Geno walk into the [[Forest Maze]]. His mom does not believe this, while Mario goes and enters the woods to find the animated doll. Geno enters the forest to challenge Bowyer, and retrieve the Star Piece that Bowyer's minions had found. Mario and Mallow decide to help Geno, and together, the three defeat Bowyer and acquire the Star Piece.


The next morning, Gaz tells his mom that he saw a living Geno walk into the [[Forest Maze]]. Because of this, Gaz receives a time out from his mother for telling a lie (which, of course, isn't). Mario believes the kid's tale and enters the woods to find the animated doll. Eventually, Mario catches up with him. Geno enters the forest to challenge Bowyer, the arrow-firing fiend, and retrieves the Star Piece that Bowyer discovers. Mario and Mallow decide to help Geno, and together, the three defeat Bowyer and acquire the Star Piece.
[[File:Geno3.png|thumb|Geno explaining the situation to Mario and Mallow]]
After defeating Bowyer, Geno reveals to the heroes that he is a warrior from Star Road and that he has assumed the form of the Geno doll to fight the Smithy Gang. Additionally, he states that wishes can never come true again until all the Star Pieces are recovered. He also reveals his real name, ♡♪！？. However, this is impossible to pronounce, so the star warrior assumes the name of the doll: Geno. After explaining everything, Geno decides to join forces with Mario and Mallow to find the remaining Star Pieces.

Eventually, Mario, Mallow, Geno, Bowser, and Peach collect the remaining Star Pieces and defeat [[Smithy]]. With Smithy destroyed, Geno decides to leave the doll's wooden body, returning to the form of a star and bringing the Star Pieces to Star Road. Repairing the celestial road, the power of wishes return to the world. The lifeless Geno doll can be seen sitting behind [[Mario]] and company on [[Vista Hill]] while they witness Exor disintegrate.

==Character Description==
====''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U''====
[[File:GenoAvailable.jpg|thumb|Geno announcement for ''Super Smash Bros.'' in the Smash Bros. video presentation]]
Though not available as a fighter, a costume based on Geno was released as DLC for ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]''. Although the hat can be worn by any [[Mii Fighter]]s, the costume is exclusive to [[Mii Gunner]]s, with the Geno Beam arm cannon mounted on the right hand. The DLC was released during December 2015, alongside the Chocobo hat, [[Cloud Strife]], and the [[Midgar]] stage. This is fitting as the character of Cloud is owned by Square Enix, who also developed ''Super Mario RPG'', and owns the rights to Geno.
 
Nintendo also released a QR code for those who wish to have the exact Mii used in the costume's advertising.<ref>{{cite|url=www.smashbros.com/images/dlc/image/qr_sample15.jpg|title=qr_sample15.jpg|format=JPG|language=en|publisher=Smashbros.com|accessdate=June 27, 2024}}</ref>
 
====''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''====
[[File:GenoUltimate.png|thumb|left|Geno Mii costume in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'']]
Geno appears as a [[Spirit (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate)|spirit]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. He is also a selectable icon for use in the online modes. In his spirit battle, he is represented by [[Sheik]] armed with a Super Scope, and is joined by [[Mario]], [[Princess Peach|Peach]], [[Bowser]], and a gray [[Kirby]], who represents [[Mallow]]. These five fighters represent the main cast of ''Super Mario RPG''. His Mii Gunner costume from ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' and ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'' returns as DLC, and was released in December 2020, alongside a series of ''Final Fantasy''-themed costumes, in parallel with Challenger Pack 8 which introduced [[Sephiroth]].
 
===''Super Mario-kun''===
Geno appears as a centric character in volume [[Super Mario-kun Volume 50|50]] and [[Super Mario-kun Volume 51|51]] of the ''[[Super Mario-kun]]'' manga. Geno is actually absent for the majority of the volumes, having been forced by [[Princess Peach]] to switch places with him and leaving him at her castle to take her place in the form of a disguise. It isn't until the battle against [[Smithy]] that he shows up again in the story.
{{br}}
 
===''Tetris 99''===
''[[Tetris 99]]'' features an event with ''[[Super Mario RPG (Nintendo Switch)|Super Mario RPG]]'' from November 9th, 11 PM PT to November 13th, 10:59 PM PT to promote the upcoming release of ''[[Super Mario RPG (Nintendo Switch)|Super Mario RPG]]''. The event includes a new theme for the game  which changes the music to themes from ''[[Super Mario RPG (Nintendo Switch)|Super Mario RPG]]''. It also features frog coins replacing the normal KO indicator and the tetriminos having stars emblazoned on them. Geno appears alongside [[Mario]], [[Princess Peach]], [[Bowser]], and [[Mallow]] in the background.
 
==Description==
[[File:GenoStarSMRPG.png|frame|Geno's star form.]]
[[File:GenoStarSMRPG.png|frame|Geno's star form.]]
Geno acts as a sage-like figure to Mario and his allies. He has an understanding of the bigger picture and the greater consequences of cosmic events. Consequently, Geno offers the heroes advice about matters the others may not understand. For instance, after Mario and his allies liberate Bowser's Keep, Bowser decides to quit the team and return to the castle. However, Geno points out that until Smithy and his factory are destroyed, Bowser's Keep is still at risk. Thus Bowser decides to continue the fight.

However, Geno points out that until Smithy and his factory are destroyed, Bowser's Keep is still at risk. Thus Bowser decides to continue the fight.


Geno has a variety of attacks which use a mix of physical and energy projectiles. His regular attack involves shooting physical projectiles from his arms. His special attacks typically involve powerful energy blasts. Additionally, Geno is the fastest of Mario's allies.

===Personality===
===Personality===
Geno's personality is strongly based on his confidence and attitude. Quite different from that of Bowser's, which mostly comes from his tough guy ego and narcissistic traits, Geno has more of a defiant, heroic attitude which is evident when the party confronts Smithy and Geno yells "Yo, Smithy!" upon making his appearance. His eagerness to confront the villain may be due to his status as an authority figure from Star Road.
Geno's personality is strongly based on his confidence and attitude. Geno has more of a defiant, heroic attitude. His eagerness to confront the villain may be due to his status as an authority figure from Star Road. He also tends to show more enthusiasm than any other party member.


Geno also tends to show more enthusiasm than any other party member, perhaps only second to Mario, but it is difficult to tell as Mario is a silent protagonist throughout the game. Geno's rhapsodic ways may also be because he knew what the Smithy Gang was up to long before anyone else in the party or in the game does, and living in Star Road, it's close to home.
Geno comes off as very powerful from his first appearance as a doll when Gaz attacks using Geno and accidentally hits Mario and knocks him out. However, when Geno tries to fight Bowyer, upon striking Bowyer says, "Strong you are, but stronger am I!" He also has access to the most powerful attack in the game, [[Geno Whirl]], which deals 9,999 points of damage if timed right.


Geno comes off as very powerful from his first appearance as a doll when Gaz attacks using Geno and accidentally hits Mario and knocks him out. However, when Geno tries to fight Bowyer, upon striking Bowyer will say, "Strong you are, but stronger am I!" One of Geno's magic powers is also potentially the most powerful attack in game, [[Geno Whirl]]. If timed just right, it deals 9,999 points of damage; if not timed right, it does average damage at best. The skill works only on regular enemies, [[Yaridovich]], [[Machine Made]], and [[Exor]].
Although powerful, Geno is quite amiable, quick to make friends with Mario and Mallow. He has a strong sense of duty and responsibility, and his role on Star Road may be analogous to Mario's role in the [[Mushroom Kingdom]]. He even worries over the "ownership" of his physical form, and promises to return the body to the home from whence it came.

He even worries over the "ownership" of his physical form, and promises to return the body to the home from whence it came.
==Battle==
Geno is a very potent offensive character overall, having the highest speed of any party member (30), comparable attack stats to Bowser, and high magic attack stats and potent special moves primarily revolving around single and multiple enemy attacks. His one support move, [[Geno Boost]], bolsters attack (and defense if timed properly) stats even further. When equipped with the [[Feather (accessory)|Feather]] or [[Troopa Medal]], Geno is the only character capable of defeating a [[Shy Ranger]] (provided Mario does not have the Super Suit + Attack Scarf combination). However, his [[Heart Point|HP]] growth begins to stall after level 20 and his special equipment is subpar at best, with his ultimate weapon, the [[Star Gun]], not being as powerful as that of others, such as Mario's [[Lazy Shell]], while his ultimate armor, the [[Star Cape]] is the second worst in the game, making him relatively weaker in both attack and defense power later in the game despite his high base stats. Still, Geno Boost and [[Geno Flash]], one of the strongest special moves in the game that strikes all enemies, make Geno useful to have on any team.  


== Battle ==
===Special moves===
Despite his strength, Geno perfectly defines the term, "glass cannon". His physical powers are incredible, but his defense, both magical and physical, are the worst in the game and [[Heart Point|HP]] is not very high either. Geno does succeed in other areas, though. His speed trumps Mario and his strength exceeds [[Bowser]], making Geno the party's likely assassin, good for taking out difficult enemies early in the round. When equipped with the [[Feather]], Geno is the only character able of defeating a [[Shy Ranger]](provided Mario doesn't the Super Suit + Attack Scarf combination). Except for [[Geno Boost]], a support move, Geno's special moves largely revolve around single and multiple enemy attacks. Most of his magic is difficult to execute perfectly, however. Geno's power begins to deteriorate late-game, unfortunately, as his ultimate weapon, the [[Star Gun]], is not nearly as powerful as others, such as Mario's, the [[Lazy Shell]].

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*Geno's real name was different in the Japanese version of ''Super Mario RPG'', being a truly unpronounceable series of symbols never used elsewhere in the Japanese game.
*Not much is known about the original personage of "Geno" that the doll represents, but it's implied that he is not a living person in Mario's world like Gaz's other dolls, since the [[Rose Town innkeeper]] believes the possessed doll is only a person in a costume.
*Peculiarly, the sprites of Geno's star form when possessing the Geno doll and those seen at the end of the game are vastly different, the former being a small, white, almost realistic star while the latter was a yellow, more traditional ''[[Mario (series)|Mario]]'' star surrounded by yellow dots. Similarly, the sprites of the Geno doll when playing with Gaz and the one sitting pose of it seen at the end of the game are proportionally inaccurate to each other.

—Geno, Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars

Geno (real name: ♡♪!? in the original or ♡♪！？ in the remake) is a warrior from the Star Road and one of Mario's partners in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars and its remake. He is sent by "a higher authority" to restore peace to Mario's world by inhabiting a wooden doll. During the events of Super Mario RPG, he teams up with Mario's team, which consists of Mario, Mallow, Princess Peach, and Bowser, and helps them out on their quest to defeat Smithy. In battle, he has high attack, but lower defense.

Geno was designed by Yuka Miyamoto and Hideo Minaba, with Kazuyuki Kurashima having provided concept work.[1][2] Prior to the release of Super Mario RPG, Nintendo Power wrote that Geno was described by Square as "Pinocchio".[3]

History[edit]

Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars[edit]

When the Smithy Gang launch their attack on Mario's world, Exor crashes into Bowser's Keep and occupies it. As Exor fell from the sky, he shattered the Star Road, and as a result, seven Star Pieces are scattered throughout the world, and wishes are unable to be granted. Because of this, Geno is sent to retrieve the Star Pieces and restore the power of wishes to the world.

The Geno doll in the Rose Town Inn

Some time later, Rose Town is besieged by the Smithy Gang. Bowyer is launching arrows into the town and paralyzing people. Many people in Rose Town fear leaving their homes out of potentially being paralyzed by one of Bowyer's arrows.

During this time of crisis, Mario and Mallow arrive in Rose Town. The pair enters the Town Inn, and while inside, Mario sees a young boy named Gaz playing with his dolls of Mario, Peach, and Bowser. Gaz's mom asks Mario to play with her son, which he agrees to. Mario pretends to be Bowser, and Gaz pretends to be his favorite of the dolls, Geno. Gaz ends up playing too rough however, and activates Geno's "Super Star Shot". Instead of hitting the Bowser doll, the blast accidentally hits Mario, knocking him out.

That night, a single star being enters the Inn. Seeing the four dolls on the floor, the star decides to inhabit the Geno doll. Now possessing the doll, the star has problems with walking, and slams into the wall before leaving the inn. Later, Geno admits he chose that particular doll because it appeared to be the strongest of the four.

The next morning, Gaz tells his mom that he saw the living Geno walk into the Forest Maze. His mom does not believe this, while Mario goes and enters the woods to find the animated doll. Geno enters the forest to challenge Bowyer, and retrieve the Star Piece that Bowyer's minions had found. Mario and Mallow decide to help Geno, and together, the three defeat Bowyer and acquire the Star Piece.

Geno explaining the situation to Mario and Mallow

After defeating Bowyer, Geno reveals to the heroes that he is a warrior from Star Road and that he has assumed the form of the Geno doll to fight the Smithy Gang. Additionally, he states that wishes can never come true again until all the Star Pieces are recovered. He also reveals his real name, ♡♪！？. However, this is impossible to pronounce, so the star warrior assumes the name of the doll: Geno. After explaining everything, Geno decides to join forces with Mario and Mallow to find the remaining Star Pieces.

Eventually, Mario, Mallow, Geno, Bowser, and Peach collect the remaining Star Pieces and defeat Smithy. With Smithy destroyed, Geno decides to leave the doll's wooden body, returning to the form of a star and bringing the Star Pieces to Star Road. Repairing the celestial road, the power of wishes return to the world. The lifeless Geno doll can be seen sitting behind Mario and company on Vista Hill while they witness Exor disintegrate.

Geno also has a clone version of himself that Belome can create during his fight in his temple at Land's End named "Geno Clone".

Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga[edit]

The Geno cameo in Superstar Saga

Geno's doll form makes a cameo in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga. He appears as the mechanical host of the Star 'Stache Smash arcade game in Little Fungitown, explaining the rules of the minigame. The end credits state that Geno is an intellectual property of Square Enix: "Regardless of the above-mentioned, the copyright of Character "Geno", reserved by SQUARE ENIX CO., LTD." However, he does not return in the remake, Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions, where text bubbles replace his role.

Super Smash Bros. series[edit]

Director of the Super Smash Bros. series Masahiro Sakurai has stated that Geno was considered for an appearance in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, but was not followed up on for unexplained reasons.[4]

Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U[edit]

Though not available as a fighter, a costume based on Geno was released as DLC for Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Super Smash Bros. for Wii U. Although the hat can be worn by any Mii Fighters, the costume is exclusive to Mii Gunners, with the Geno Beam arm cannon mounted on the right hand. The DLC was released during December 2015, alongside the Chocobo hat, Cloud Strife, and the Midgar stage. This is fitting as the character of Cloud is owned by Square Enix, who also developed Super Mario RPG, and owns the rights to Geno.

Nintendo also released a QR code for those who wish to have the exact Mii used in the costume's advertising.[5]

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate[edit]

List of Mii Fighter Outfits
Geno Mii costume in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

Geno appears as a spirit in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. He is also a selectable icon for use in the online modes. In his spirit battle, he is represented by Sheik armed with a Super Scope, and is joined by Mario, Peach, Bowser, and a gray Kirby, who represents Mallow. These five fighters represent the main cast of Super Mario RPG. His Mii Gunner costume from Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Super Smash Bros. for Wii U returns as DLC, and was released in December 2020, alongside a series of Final Fantasy-themed costumes, in parallel with Challenger Pack 8 which introduced Sephiroth.

Super Mario-kun[edit]

Geno appears as a centric character in volume 50 and 51 of the Super Mario-kun manga. Geno is actually absent for the majority of the volumes, having been forced by Princess Peach to switch places with him and leaving him at her castle to take her place in the form of a disguise. It isn't until the battle against Smithy that he shows up again in the story.

Tetris 99[edit]

Tetris 99 features an event with Super Mario RPG from November 9th, 11 PM PT to November 13th, 10:59 PM PT to promote the upcoming release of Super Mario RPG. The event includes a new theme for the game which changes the music to themes from Super Mario RPG. It also features frog coins replacing the normal KO indicator and the tetriminos having stars emblazoned on them. Geno appears alongside Mario, Princess Peach, Bowser, and Mallow in the background.

Description[edit]

Two sprites of Geno's star form
Geno's star form.

Geno acts as a sage-like figure to Mario and his allies. Consequently, Geno offers the heroes advice about matters the others may not understand. For instance, after Mario and his allies liberate Bowser's Keep, Bowser decides to quit the team and return to the castle. However, Geno points out that until Smithy and his factory are destroyed, Bowser's Keep is still at risk. Thus Bowser decides to continue the fight.

Geno has a variety of attacks which use a mix of physical and energy projectiles. His regular attack involves shooting physical projectiles from his arms. His special attacks typically involve powerful energy blasts. Additionally, Geno is the fastest of Mario's allies.

Personality[edit]

Geno's personality is strongly based on his confidence and attitude. Geno has more of a defiant, heroic attitude. His eagerness to confront the villain may be due to his status as an authority figure from Star Road. He also tends to show more enthusiasm than any other party member.

Geno comes off as very powerful from his first appearance as a doll when Gaz attacks using Geno and accidentally hits Mario and knocks him out. However, when Geno tries to fight Bowyer, upon striking Bowyer says, "Strong you are, but stronger am I!" He also has access to the most powerful attack in the game, Geno Whirl, which deals 9,999 points of damage if timed right.

Although powerful, Geno is quite amiable, quick to make friends with Mario and Mallow. He has a strong sense of duty and responsibility, and his role on Star Road may be analogous to Mario's role in the Mushroom Kingdom. He even worries over the "ownership" of his physical form, and promises to return the body to the home from whence it came.

Battle[edit]

Geno is a very potent offensive character overall, having the highest speed of any party member (30), comparable attack stats to Bowser, and high magic attack stats and potent special moves primarily revolving around single and multiple enemy attacks. His one support move, Geno Boost, bolsters attack (and defense if timed properly) stats even further. When equipped with the Feather or Troopa Medal, Geno is the only character capable of defeating a Shy Ranger (provided Mario does not have the Super Suit + Attack Scarf combination). However, his HP growth begins to stall after level 20 and his special equipment is subpar at best, with his ultimate weapon, the Star Gun, not being as powerful as that of others, such as Mario's Lazy Shell, while his ultimate armor, the Star Cape is the second worst in the game, making him relatively weaker in both attack and defense power later in the game despite his high base stats. Still, Geno Boost and Geno Flash, one of the strongest special moves in the game that strikes all enemies, make Geno useful to have on any team.

Special moves[edit]

  • Geno Beam - Charging up his energy, Geno shoots a deadly energy beam at one enemy. Holding Y Button until three stars appears deals more damage.
  • Geno Boost - Using magic, Geno boosts an ally's attack. After all the arrows disappear, pressing Y Button boosts the ally's defense as well.
  • Geno Whirl - Geno throws a disk of light at one enemy. If timed correctly, the attack does 9,999 damage. This does not work for boss characters (except Exor and Speardovich copies).
  • Geno Blast - Geno summons light energy from the sky, damaging all enemies. Holding Y Button until three stars appears deals more damage.
  • Geno Flash - Geno transforms into a large cannon, then shoots a large ball of energy, damaging all enemies. Holding Y Button until three stars appears deals more damage.

Profiles and statistics[edit]

Using his supernatural powers, he transforms himself into the humblest of household items: a doll. But baddies know that fighting Geno isn't child's play![8]
    • Who's Who: The blue battler cleverly disguised himself as a doll, but in reality he's a visitor from on high. When someone makes a wish upon a star, piece[sic] of the Star Road falls to earth. But Smithy's headlong plunge through the skies has shattered the Star Road, scattering its seven pieces to the winds. No wish will come true ever again unless the missing pieces can be recovered. Mario and Mallow have found only one so far. With Geno joining their bold little band, they'll have to find the six lost pieces. For the time being, Mario would be satified[sic] if they could find more recruits as their quest continues.[9]
