Mario) is a former plumber who resides in Mushroom Kingdom. He and his brother, Luigi used to live in Brooklyn as plumbers. Mario rescues Princess Peach from Bowser. However, when Bowser kidnapped Mario, Peach rescued him as depicted in Super Princess Peach. Mario and his brother are the titular protagonists of the long-running and highly successful Mario franchise created by  Shigeru Miyamoto.

Despite his lengthy history, Mario does not have a solid personality, since it was for players to implant their own personalities into the character. When his demeanor is shown, Mario is aggressive and impulsive, sometimes doing things without much meditation.

Despite these flaws, Mario is commonly shown to be a brave and kind-hearted hero with a strong sense of justice and morality. More often than not, he is willing to put his life in danger to save millions of people from Bowser's destructive forces and any other villain.

Mario also has a small fixation on Italian food, such as pasta or pizza.
