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.''

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."

「マリオ

陽気であかるい、みんなの人気者！

ふたごの弟、ルイージとは大の仲良しで、名コンビだよ.

スポーツ万能で、テニスや野球、サッカーやカーレースまで、なんでもカッコよくこなしちゃうんだ！

じつは昔、「配管工」のお仕事もしていたことがあるんだって.

ピーチ姫のことが大好きで、ピーチ姫が困っていたら、どんなときでも助けにいくよ！

でも、いつもクッパがジャマをしてくるんだけどね.

とくいのジャンプやいろいろなパワーアップがあれば、クッパのイジワルなんてへっちゃらさ！」

Mario

Bright, cheerful, and everyone’s favourite person!

His twin brother, Luigi, is his closest friend, and together the two are a great pair.

An all-rounder in sports from tennis, baseball, soccer, to car-racing, he's stylishly good at anything!

In fact, long ago, Mario was also occasionally working as a plumber.

He loves Princess Peach, and if she's ever captured, he'll always go and save her.

But, Bowser always comes to impede him however.

If Mario has lots of power-ups and his amazing jump, he'll remain calm no matter what Bowser’s ill-intentions are!

The official home for Mario
"Cheerful. Inspiring. Jumpy. Everyone loves Mario—and for good reason! The mustached one has been bravely battling bad guys for decades, and shows no signs of slowing down. He’s remarkably resilient for a plumber, smashing bricks and bouncing off walls like a parkour star. These amazing athletic skills are put to good use in a variety of sports, like tennis, baseball, soccer, and even auto racing. Mario may be a sporting superstar, but his main interest, of course, is keeping his beloved Princess Peach safe and away from the clutches of Bowser."
