Mario (franchise)

Super Mario is a popular Nintendo franchise that was only available on Nintendo systems. It may not be available on SEGA systems (excluding bootlegs) and Sony systems and Microsoft systems. It originally had an Atari + Nintendo game but after Atari severed ties with Nintendo, now Mario had more than 100+ Mario games.

The main premise is the adventures of a plumber named Mario and his brother Luigi. Whether it is saving a princess, getting Power Stars, stopping egomaniacs who wield mysterious powers, or something else, adventure awaits.

Main protagonists

 * Mario - Hero of the Mushroom Kingdom and the older Mario brother. He's willing to fight for the greater good and for Peach. He's the first Star Child, with excellent jumping skills and firepower that feels like actual fire to his foes.
 * Luigi - Mario's younger brother. He may be afraid of ghosts, but he still persists even if they give him a frightful jump all for his brother and for Daisy. He's the second Star Child, with a jump higher than Mario's and his moves can give off a shock.
 * Princess Peach - Princess of the Mushroom Kingdom. She possesses mysterious magic that allows floating and healing, which she uses to help others. She's the third Star Child, and the only one born with light magic.
 * Toad - One of many Toads, which are a species of mushroom-like humanoids, this one has red spots and a blue vest. He's more adventurous than most other Toads and fights for justice despite his cowardice.
 * Bowser - King of the Koopas, a race of intelligent turtles. He was once manipulated into doing evil, but soon, he now fights to defend his kingdom alongside 3 partners. He's the fourth Star Child, and his strength is immense.
 * Imajin - Legendary hero of Subcon. He defeated the evil Wart once.
 * Lina - Second hero of Subcon and Imajin's girlfriend. She has a magic similar to Peach's.
 * Mama - Third hero of Subcon. She watches over Piki and Poki often.
 * Papa - Fourth hero of Subcon. He still suffers PTSD from future Subcon visits after the first one.
 * Princess Daisy - Princess of Sarsaland. She's a tough cookie that knows double jumps and sports.
 * Yoshi - One of many Yoshies, a species of dinosaur that has the power to eat foes and turn them into throwable projectile eggs, this green one travels with the Mario Bros. That particular Yoshi is the fifth Star Child, and he has a craving for watermelons.
 * Ala-Gold and Buckenberry - The former is a yellow Toad from Sarsaland while the latter is a blue Toad from the Mushroom Kingdom. Both of them are members of the Council of 8 and are hardy heroes.
 * Wario - Mario's rival. Travels the world and runs a game development company for money, but he tends to stop dangerous threats in his journeys and has a soft spot for chickens. He's the sixth Star Child, and has both the brains and brawn to pull off heists and explore dangerous areas with ease.
 * Waluigi - Luigi's rival. He was defeated by Wario once, but due to what they agree on, they joined forces to defeat the Mario Bros., make microgames, go on adventures for treasure, and even become friends with a Piranha Plant in the process.
 * Bowser Jr. - Bowser's son. He may not be as powerful, but he carries a magical paintbrush that allows him to unleash power and even transform.
 * Rosalina - The legendary woman of the cosmos. She cares for all the Lumas and treats them as her children. When adventuring, she can use a special spin that's empowered by star power to defend herself or even get a boost in the air.
 * Captain Toad - Toad's older brother and leader of the Toad Brigade. Just like him, he may be cowardly, but is unwilling to risk the safety of others in the line of danger. He has a tendency to collect things and overpack, which backfires by making him unable to jump as long as he wears his heavy backpack.
 * Toadette - She's an idol with the Toads due to her beauty. She's the archivist and secondary leader of the Toad Brigade, and she inherited Captain Toad's overpacking habit in the crash course of being accepted into the brigade. She also tinkers with their gadgets to improve those and the Starshrooms.
