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.
