The Mario franchise is a video game series created by Nintendo. Nintendo is usually the developer and publisher of the franchise's games, but various games are developed by third-party companies, such as Hudson Soft and Intelligent Systems. Games in the Mario franchise primarily revolve around the protagonist Mario and often involve the trope of Bowser as the antagonist kidnapping Princess Peach, with Mario then rescuing her. Many characters have goals or plot arcs that vary between series; for example, the Luigi's Mansion games focus on Luigi ridding a haunted building of ghost-like creatures known as Boos, and Wario stars in games that center around his greed and desire for money and treasure.

The franchise began with Donkey Kong in 1981, where Mario, Donkey Kong, and Pauline originated. Japanese video game designer Shigeru Miyamoto built them off the base of characters from Popeye. Unable to license the characters, Miyamoto made later changes to their appearances and personalities, such as a more lighthearted in tone. Due to the breakthrough critical and commercial success of Donkey Kong, Mario reappeared in Mario Bros. in 1983, which introduced Mario's twin brother Luigi, and Super Mario Bros. in 1985, which introduced Toad alongside numerous enemies, with Bowser and Princess Peach replacing Donkey Kong and Pauline, respectively.

Each series has introduced numerous characters, many of them recurring. Some have starred in their own games or in supporting roles. The games all typically share common enemies.

Primary protagonists[]

Mario[]

Main article: Mario

Mario[lower-alpha 1] (voiced by Charles Martinet) is the main character of the Mario franchise and the mascot of Nintendo as a whole. He originally appeared in 1981's Donkey Kong as "Jumpman", designed by Shigeru Miyamoto.[1] While Mario was initially a carpenter, he later took the role of a plumber.[2] Since 1992, Mario has been voiced by Charles Martinet.[3] In most of his appearances, Mario rescues a damsel in distress (often Princess Peach) from an antagonist (often Bowser).[4] Mario's younger brother is Luigi,[5] and his greedy rival is Wario.[6] Yoshi serves as Mario's steed in several games, including Super Mario World.[7] Since his introduction, Mario's abilities include jumping, such as onto an enemy's head as an attack.[1] Mario uses power-ups, such as the Super Mushroom (which allows him to grow larger and survive an additional hit), the Super Star (which grants him temporary invincibility), and the Fire Flower (which allows him to throw fireballs).[1] Several power-ups grant Mario the ability to fly, such as the Super Leaf from Super Mario Bros. 3.[8] According to Guiness World Records, Mario is the second most recognizable video game character after Pac-Man.[9] Mario has seen numerous cultural appearances, such as during the closing ceremony of the 2016 Summer Olympics, where Japanese prime minister Shinzō Abe appeared dressed as the character.[10]

Luigi[]

Main article: Luigi

Luigi[lower-alpha 2] (voiced by Charles Martinet) is the younger twin brother of Mario,[5] who Luigi feels a sense of envy and reverence towards.[11] In the 1983 game Mario Bros., Luigi was introduced as the second player character, with many similarities to Mario.[12] While he was initially identical to Mario, he began developing differences in Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels (1986), which gave him a higher and further jump at the expense of responsiveness and precision.[13] In the North American version of Super Mario Bros. 2 (1988), Luigi was given a taller and thinner appearance than Mario, which played a key role in shaping his modern appearance.[1][11] Luigi's first starring role was in 1993's Mario Is Missing!, though he played only minor roles in subsequent games until 2001 with Luigi's Mansion, where he plays the role of a frightened, unsure, and goofy protagonist attempting to save his brother.[11] The Year of Luigi was celebrated in 2013, which saw many Luigi games released to commemorate the character's 30th anniversary.[14]

Princess Peach[]

Main article: Princess Peach

Princess Peach Toadstool[lower-alpha 3] (voiced by Samantha Kelly), is the princess of the Mario franchise's Mushroom Kingdom. In the main series games, she typically plays the role of a damsel in distress who needs to be rescued by Mario.[15][16] When playable, she typically has the ability to float in the air, and is physically taller than Mario.[16] Her first playable appearance in a main series Mario game was 1988's Super Mario Bros. 2, while her second was 2013's Super Mario 3D World.[17] Peach played a starring role in Super Princess Peach (2005), where she aims to rescue Mario, Luigi, and Toad,[15] aided by a parasol named Perry and several abilities based on her emotions–or "vibes".[18] She makes frequent appearances in spin-off Mario games, such as the Mario Kart series and the Mario sports games. In the 2017 game Super Mario Odyssey, after being captured by and forced to marry Bowser, and subsequently rescued by Mario, she rejects both of them and instead takes a trip around the world, though Mario rejoins her.[16]

Princess Daisy[]

Main article: Princess Daisy

Princess Daisy[lower-alpha 4] (voiced by Deanna Mustard) is the princess of Sarasaland, the setting of Super Mario Land (1989).[19] Since then, she has primarily appeared as a playable character in spin-off Mario games, especially Mario sports games.[20] Super Mario Run (2016) marks Daisy's playable debut in a main series game, where she is able to perform a double jump.[21] She acts more tomboyish than Princess Peach, exemplified by her appearances in the Mario sports games. Some consider her and Luigi to be a couple, despite Daisy being rescued by Mario in Super Mario Land and Super Mario Run.[22]

In Super Mario 3D World (2013), she is a playable character, and is unlocked through gameplay.[16]

Birdo has been referred to as a "man who thinks of himself as female" in earlier depictions, such as in the Japanese manual for the early prototype game Doki Doki Panic, and was considered female in later games.
