Nintendo Character Guide (1993)

Mario
Born in Brooklyn, Mario grew up with a love of fixing things. He was destined to become a plumber and hero from the day he fixed a friend's broken squirt gun. Mario is good natured but unflagging in his crusade for justice and clean bathroom fixtures.

Mario the Man
At first glance, the man we have come to know as "Mario" might appear to be a fairly easily defined character. Call him a madcap plumber who was born and raised in Brooklyn and seems to be forever in search of the oft-kidnapped Princess and you'd be right. But you would also be leaving out a whole lot of the story. Let's take a closer look at Mario.

Mario is Adventurous
He's already launched himself on a handful of harrowing adventures over the last few years. He's always ready to pack up his bag of tools and head off into unknown worlds inhabited by unrecognizable denizens.

Mario is Brave
It must surely take great bravery and courage to fight, usually with bare hands, all of the various and sundry enemies, monsters, creatures and fiends that Mario has encountered over the course of his life. A stout-hearted fellow, to say the least.

Mario is Curious
He has always managed to retain a child's wide-eyed curiosity and inquisitiveness. Nothing goes unexplored. It's his incredible curiosity that leads him to hurtling down pipes to who-knows-where; to unearth hidden mushrooms and fire flowers; to bash his head into thousands of blocks in search of hidden secrets and treasures.

Mario is Resourceful
His inventive mind can puzzle its way out of any jam. He can figure out how to ride a giant egg to safety; how to turn a harmless looking turtle shell into a lethal weapon; how to disguise himself as a raccoon or a frog; how to turn a floating feather into a flying cape able to ride the Thermals over foreboding landscapes. What a mind!

Mario is Tolerant
He'll accept anyone or anything at face value. He treats anyone and anything with dignity and respect. He has seen too many things in his travels to be narrow-minded.

Mario is Loyal
What else but loyalty would explain why Mario puts his life on the line to rescue the Princess time after time? It couldn't be love, could it???

But all work and no play would make Mario - well, it would make Mario someone else. Our Mario is full of good humor and good cheer. A wry sense of humor and a belief that every cloud - even a Spiney^[sic] spitting cloud - has a silver lining - have gotten him through the darkest days and gloomiest nights.

Mario is also a good family man. He loves his brother, Luigi, and tries to take care of this young plumber's apprentice. Some day Mario plans to retire and turn the business over to Luigi. Some day.

He loves animals (the most unusual kinds), food (yes, mushrooms are his favorite) and music (either opera or new-wave, high-techno Euro pop).

In short (sorry, the one thing Mario isn't is tall) Mario is the kind of guy kids would love to hang out with...all day long.

The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3 Writers Bible

• Bio: Don't let Mario's looks fool you. He may be the shortest, chubbiest, most comedic-looking superhero ever to have his own show, but he always finds an ingenious way to overcome the most overwhelming obstacles in his path, and somehow, save the day. Even if it takes turning into a flying raccoon with superpowers, the irrepressible Mario will cleverly and bravely do his best to outwit the villainous Koopa Clan. He continues the quest when wiser heads would quit. Like a true plumber, he will show up at any hour of the day or night, to solve a crisis that ordinary men refuse to even touch. No matter how many times he's tricked, trapped or defeated, Mario bounces back. His greatest strength is his unconquerable spirit and his willingness to fling himself selflessly into any situation if justice is at stake.

• Game bio: Although best known as the mustachioed plumber who battles the Turtle Tribe with his distinct jumping action, this internationally-famous hero has also acted as a referee, a driver, and even a doctor! He's been linked to Princess Peach of Mushroom Kingdom for years, but to this day their true relationship remains a mystery.
• BradyGAMES guide (page 13): If you don't know this guy, close this book and get out from under the rock you're living under. Mario has been around since his debut in the original Donkey Kong back in 1981, and he's been going on strong ever since. He got his title role in the arcade hit Mario Bros. (along with his brother, Luigi), and when Super Mario Bros. came out for the NES, his life would never be the same. He's seen roles in Nintendo tennis, golf, and boxing titles, and Super Smash Bros. is the first official time the plumber stepped into a fighting game. It's no wonder why Nintendo has made Mario its company mascot—everything he touches is golden!

Super Smash Bros. Melee

• Instruction booklet: A well-rounded hero who boasts a balance between offense and defense.

Trophy Mario
	Game/move: Donkey Kong Arcade 1981
	How to unlock: Completing Classic Mode or by playing 100 VS matches as Mario
	Known worldwide as Mr. Nintendo, Mario uses his incredible jumping ability to thwart the evil Bowser time after time. While he's best known as a hero, Mario has played many roles, including racer, doctor, golfer, and villain. His tastes have changed over 20 years of gaming; he long ago swapped the colors of his shirt and overalls.

Trophy Mario [Smash]
	Game/move: B: Fireball Smash B: Cape
	How to unlock: Completing Adventure mode or by playing 200 VS matches as Mario
	Mario is a character without any glaring weaknesses and plenty of strong attacks: he's even equipped with a Meteor Smash. He's a straightforward character who'll reflect the actual skills of the player. Mario's Cape will turn other characters in the opposite direction and can also reflect missile weapons.

Trophy Mario [Smash]
	Game/move: Up & B: Super Jump Punch Down & B: Mario Tornado
	How to unlock: Completing All-Star Mode or by playing 300 VS matches as Mario
	Mass determines how easily a character can be sent flying, as well as a character's physical strength: Mario's mass is the standard upon which other Smash fighters are measured. His Super Jump Punch sends foes skyward in a shower of coins, while the Mario Tornado pulls in nearby foes, spins them silly, and scatters them every which way.

Trophy Raccoon Mario
	Game/move: Super Mario Bros. 3 2/90
	How to unlock: Randomly obtainable from the Lottery after collecting 250 trophies
	In Super Mario Bros. 3, Super Leafs caused Mario to grow raccoon ears and a tail. By sprinting and rapidly wagging the tail, Mario gained the ability to fly for short periods. Like the Cape in Super Mario World, the tail also reduced the speed at which he fell, making midair moves easier. Needless to say, real raccoons were jealous.

Trophy Mario and Yoshi
	Game/move: Super Mario World 9/91[sic]
	How to unlock: Only obtainable through certain special events in Japanese versions only.
	Yoshi was first introduced in Super Mario World, and the sight of Mario riding the helpful character soon became an enduring image. Despite his Cape, Mario can't fly while astride Yoshi. The pair can make huge jumps and drift slowly back to earth, though. As a last resort, Mario could leap off Yoshi's back to safety.

Trophy Metal Mario
	Game/move: Super Mario 64 9/96
	How to unlock: Random
	Mario was in for a surprise the first time he hit a Metal Box in Super Mario 64.

MARIO

Stouthearted, selfless, humble, virtuous - are these enough to describe Mario, by far the most storied Hero among us? Would any such plaudits serve? I can only speak for myself when I say that the accolades are well-deserved. Mario's kindness and bravery inspire everyone around him - even myself. As much as anyone, or anything. Mario has taught me to feel, and from there... to hope.
