 {{quote2|Hi everybody! I'm Mario. How's it going? Over the last few years, I've been involved in some pretty wild adventures. Now, believe it or not, I work in the virus research lab at the Mushroom Kingdom Hospital. Today I'm about to begin my research as usual.|Dr. Mario|Dr. Mario NES manual, p. 3}}
-Everyone knows Mario is coot as fück. But who knows what he's thinking? Who knows why he crushes turtles? And why do we think about him as fondly as we think of the mythical (nonexistent?) '''Dr Pepper?''' Perchance.
+'''Dr. Mario''' is the persona [[Mario]] assumes in the [[Dr. Mario (series)|''Dr. Mario'' series]]. Under this identity, Mario dons a lab coat, a head mirror, and a stethoscope around his neck. Debuting in [[Dr. Mario (game)|his eponymous game]],  Dr. Mario and his assistant [[Princess Peach|Nurse Toadstool]] work at the [[Mushroom Kingdom Hospital]], where he eliminates viruses and other diseases by using [[capsule]]s, a premise that has been the standard for subsequent games starring him. Dr. Mario also appears as an unlockable fighter in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' / ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U|Wii U]]'', and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', where he is considered a separate character from Mario. The ''[[Super Mario (Kodansha manga)|Super Mario]]'' Kodansha manga also portrayed him as a separate character from Mario, with Nurse Toadstool being a separate character from Peach.
-I believe it was [[Kant]] who said "Experience without theory is blind, but theory without experience is mere intellectual play." Mario exhibits experience by crushing turts all day, but he exhibits theory by staling "Lets-a go!" Keep it up, baby!
-When Mario leaves his place of safety to stomp a turty, he knows that he may Die. And yet, for a man who can purchase lives with money, a life becomes a mere store of value. A tax that can be paid for, much as a rich man feels any law with a fine is a price. We think of Mario as a hero, but he is simply a [[one percenter]] of a more privileged variety. The [[lifekind]]. Perchance.
