In ''Super Mario 64'', Mario is depicted with darker blue overalls and bigger eyes than in his current appearance based on the one in ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]''. He has a slightly darker skin, his ears are also rounder, his overall straps are longer, and his cap is less round. Mario is overall less defined in the game artwork of the time due to the older software used to design him. The differences in Mario's 3D art over time, as a result, are more pronounced than the differences in Mario's 2D art since ''Super Mario Bros.'' Ever since ''Luigi's Mansion'', however, Mario has received only minor proportion changes to his general appearance, becoming taller and slimmer, though still chubby and with brighter colors on his clothes, skin, and hair; pockets on his overalls; and added detail in his shoes, eyes, hat, and clothes in 3D artwork since ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]''. While he always has a fair complexion, the tone of his skin has become inconsistent over the course of the more recent games, sometimes taking on a peach tone like in the more recent artwork, including the updated versions of the existing ones, and at times not.

The ''Super Smash Bros.'' series also has Mario's appearance change between games. In the original ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'', Mario's appearance is derived from ''Super Mario 64'' but with minor alterations, such as a slimmer appearance. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', Mario's design incorporates elements from ''[[Mario Kart 64]]'' and ''Super Mario World'', as well as official artwork from the [[Nintendo 64]] era. Mario's hair and clothing have more detail in them, with his overalls particularly sporting back pockets and having denim textures, similar to his sprite in ''Super Mario World''. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', Mario's back pockets return, but his overall design is updated to resemble his appearances in ''Super Mario Sunshine'' and later games. However, Mario's color scheme is darker than before, while his hair and clothing have more-realistic detailing. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' / ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U|Wii U]]'', Mario's design is slimmer and more vibrant, matching his appearances in games such as ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'', ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'', ''Super Mario 3D World'', and ''[[Mario Kart 8]]''. As an accompaniment, Mario's hair and clothing have much less detailing. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', Mario's design is mostly the same, aside from a more subdued color scheme and simple detailing in his hair and clothing, but not to the same extent as ''Melee'' and ''Brawl''. ''Super Mario Odyssey'' has realistic details on his hair and overalls, and some other games also retain the realistic details to an extent.

In ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020]]'', Mario wears different outfits depending on the sport or activity being played. His standard, gymnastic or football oufit, he wears a sleeveless red tank with white stripes on it, short lightish-black pants, blue socks and red sneakers with white laces, white and black stripes and his emblem on them. Although, he doesn't wear his sneakers when he is at the [[Gymnastics]] and he wears lightish-black socks when he is at the [[Football (Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020)|Football]].

Mario's family name is given as "Mario" in the live-action segments "[[Dance]]" and "[[Treasure of the Sierra Brooklyn]]" of ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!]]'' and made popular in the live-action movie ''[[Super Mario Bros. (film)|Super Mario Bros.]]'' This occasionally occurs in other media—for instance, the [[Prima Games|Prima]] guidebook for ''[[Mario Party 2]]'' lists his name as Mario Mario in a note section,<ref>Barton, Jeff, Mario De Govia, Tri Pham, and Donato Tica. ''Mario Party 2'' Prima Official Strategy Guide. Page 5.</ref> and the Prima guide for ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'' similarly shows Mario's full name as Mario Mario in the list of major characters.<ref>Stratton, Stephen, and Levi Buchanan. ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga'' [[Prima Games|Prima]] Official Strategy Guide. Page 21.</ref> The arcade flyers for ''[[Donkey Kong/Donkey Kong Jr./Mario Bros.]]'' use the full name as well. Also, when people asked Mario (voiced by [[Charles Martinet]]) on [[Mario in Real Time|MIRT]] what his last name was at {{wp|San Diego Comic-Con}} 2012, he responded with this: ''"What's my last name? Ah, that's a very good question! ... That's right! It's-a Mario. My name-a Mario Mario. Of course, my brother name, a-Luigi Mario. And of course, my mama's-a Mama Mia Mario; my papa Papa Pio Mario. Of course, my grandmama Grandmama Mia Mario, and my grandpapa Grandpa—et cetera, et cetera. Yeah, first name Mario, last name-a Mario. Yahoo!"''<ref name="Mario Mario">Patrick Scott Patterson (July 16, 2012). [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AAjhjLuWbC8 Mario reveals his last name & other tales - San Diego Comic Con 2012]. ''YouTube''. Retrieved March 30, 2013.</ref> However, Nintendo of America earlier claimed that "there are no last names."<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IS713fNTJ8c&t=2m Inside Edition News Report With Super Mario Bros.]</ref> This was later stated by Nintendo president [[Satoru Iwata]].<ref name=MrVideoGame/> Additionally, Shigeru Miyamoto previously stated that Mario and Luigi do not have last names, contrary to their depiction in the movie, although he later redacted that stance, confirming at the [[Super Mario Bros. 30th Anniversary|''Super Mario Bros.'' 30th Anniversary]] festival in September 2015 that Mario's and Luigi's last names are indeed "Mario."<ref name="full name"/>

Mario is a heroic Italian plumber, with media outside the games depicting him from [[Brooklyn]]. Mario is known for being kind, cheerful, playful, encouraging, courageous, and headstrong and is also eager and cocky in certain occasions. Officially, however, Nintendo producers have stated that Mario's biography is kept simple in order to make the character versatile and reusable in many different games and situations.<ref>[http://shmuplations.com/mario20th/ Interview on Shmuplations with Miyamoto for Mario's 20th anniversary, second question explains Mario's versatility]</ref>  

Mario loves food, especially Italian food, which is most notably seen in the DIC cartoon trilogy but is also shown in the games such as in ''Super Mario 64'' and ''Super Mario Odyssey'', where he dreams about Italian food; ''Super Mario Sunshine'', where he is attracted to the promise of seafood; ''[[Luigi's Mansion 3]]'', where Mario is drawn to a food display in the [[Grand Lobby]]; and ''[[Fortune Street]]'', where he offers [[Yoshi]] to help look for cookies before suggesting that he has already eaten the cookies ("''just give me a second to brush these cookie crumbs out of my mustache!''"). Mario is pickier in ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Movie]]'', however, showing his disgust at mushrooms. Characters also occasionally suggest he pay attention to his diet, such as [[Hoot]] from ''Super Mario 64'' and the [[Star Temple gate]] from ''Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time''.

Mario, although competitive, shows generally good sportsmanship, even complimenting his opponents, as shown in instances such as ''Mario Kart 8'' (there is a chance he says, "Good play!" when he is in second to sixth place) and ''Fortune Street'' ([[List of Fortune Street quotes#Opponents close to victory 13|see his various losing quotes]]). He still shows disappointment when he loses, however, such as wiping a tear in ''Mario Kart 64''. He is occasionally visibly frustrated but restrained, such as when he throws a small fit when he gets a [[List of golfing terms#Double bogey or worse|double bogey or worse]] in ''[[Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour]]'', exhales to contain his anger in ''[[Mario Strikers Charged]]'', and stomps his foot in frustration before sitting in resignation in all console entries for the [[Mario Party (series)|''Mario Party'' series]] starting with ''[[Mario Party 10]]''.

Like many other protagonists of Nintendo games, Mario rarely fully speaks in the mainline video games, making him a mostly semi-silent protagonist. In early games, however, Mario fully speaks for long periods of time, such as in ''[[Mario's FUNdamentals|Mario's Game Gallery]]'' and ''[[Mario Teaches Typing 2]]''. Mario, originally voiced by Charles Martinet before being replaced by [[Kevin Afghani]], speaks sometimes broken English with a heavy Italian accent and in a soft, high-pitched voice, often referring to himself in the third person as {{wp|illeism}}. There are some games where Mario has also been given complete dialogue bubbles, such as ''[[Itadaki Street DS]]'' and ''Fortune Street''. Mario has also spoken in full sentences in various promotional events, such as the 2006 interview for ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'',<ref>Inkydog (November 8, 2007).

In promotional venues with MIRT, people can communicate with Mario by asking various questions; there, too, Mario speaks for long periods of time.<ref name="Mario Mario"/><ref>Replay the past (November 7, 2007). [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ihWsOcbS_E mario diss to sony at e3 and also does impressions]. ''YouTube''.</ref><ref>Sly Peach (October 13, 2014). [https://youtu.be/BXyJwvhrNCY Mario In Real Time at New York Comic Con 2013]. ''YouTube''. Retrieved April 23, 2023.</ref> In ''[[The Cat Mario Show]]'', Mario can speak fully, but he has an entirely different voice. In ''Super Mario 3D World'', as well as various games from the [[Nintendo Switch]] era (including ''Super Mario Odyssey'' and ''Luigi's Mansion 3''), Mario's voice has become noticeably deeper (though not to the extent as the ''Super Mario Galaxy'' games and the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series as of ''Brawl'') and slightly weaker in energy due to Martinet aging.

Most non-game media, such as the comics, manga, anime films, and the cartoons, also show Mario speaking. In the cartoons and ''The Super Mario Bros. Movie'', Mario is usually associated with a Brooklyn accent, the former with a gruff voice. Mario speaks in the various anime films and shorts such as in ''Super Mario Bros.: Peach-hime Kyūshutsu Dai Sakusen!'', though his voice is not as gruff as in the cartoons.  

Likewise, in some cases, Mario is a true silent protagonist, or he does not speak in English. In ''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars'', Mario is completely silent, communicating solely through pantomime. In the [[Paper Mario (series)|''Paper Mario'' titles]], he mainly communicates through simple nodding and hand gestures; while he is completely silent in ''Paper Mario'', however, he is given his usual voice in ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'' and ''Super Paper Mario''. Mario is also silent during dialogue scenes in the ''[[Mario Baseball (series)|Mario Baseball]]'' series, ''[[Mario Tennis Aces]]'', the [[Mario Golf (series)|''Mario Golf'' series]], and the ''[[Mario & Sonic (series)|Mario & Sonic]]'' series, although he can technically talk. In these games, other characters speak for him, mainly [[Lakitu]] and [[Toad]]. In the ''[[Mario & Luigi (series)|Mario & Luigi]]'' titles, Mario and Luigi speak in unintelligible Italian-sounding gibberish that the other characters can understand.

Mario's primary ability is his [[jump]], which he relies on to defeat enemies, avoid hazards, and activate helpful items, such as [[? Block]]s and [[P Switch]]es. Although [[Luigi]] jumps higher, Mario is more well-known. Mario is also agile, capable of several acrobatic maneuvers, including the [[Long Jump]], [[Backward Somersault]], [[Spin Jump]], and [[Wall Jump]], with the Wall Jump being one of his most recurring abilities. Several of these abilities are later shared with other ''Super Mario'' characters. Some games depict Mario as immune to fall damage, such as in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' and ''Super Mario Odyssey'', though landing still impacts him, while other games such as ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' have him taking damage; Mario can be instantly defeated by falling great heights in the ''Donkey Kong'' games. While Mario usually jumps for his attack, he can [[punch]] and [[kick]] in a few other games such as ''Super Mario 64'', the ''Mario Party'' series, and the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]].  

Mario's main weapon is the [[hammer]] in ''Donkey Kong'', although Mario often uses the hammer as a weapon in ''Super Mario'' RPGs. Mario is usually associated with fire in the spinoffs, based on his [[Fire Mario]] form from ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' Mario can, in some games, such as ''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars'', control fire without a [[Fire Flower]], although the first game where he actually starts using this power regularly is ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''.

Mario can carry objects much larger than himself in some games. In ''Super Mario 64'', he can carry and throw the [[King Bob-omb|Big Bob-omb]], although with some difficulty. During the battles with [[Bowser]], Mario can grab him by the tail, spin him, and throw him. His strength is also shown in ''Super Mario Galaxy'', where he can easily stun a [[Big Goomba|Grand Goomba]] with a [[spin|Star-Spin]] despite its great size and can knock Bowser around during battles with him. In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'', although he is visibly straining, he is able to lift and throw a swollen Luigi when using the [[Snack Basket]] move. In the spinoffs, Mario, although usually balanced, boasts generally slightly above-average power, and in golf, he has one of the strongest drives.  

Mario is typically known as a plumber since ''Mario Bros.'', although he started as a carpenter in ''Donkey Kong''. Although he is best known for being a plumber, the games rarely portray Mario being directly involved in plumbing. Other media, such as ''The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!'' and ''The Super Mario Bros. Movie'', however, put a much bigger emphasis on Mario's job. According to the live-action segments in ''The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!'', Mario works a menial job at [[Super Mario Bros. Plumbing|Mario Brothers Plumbing]] in Brooklyn, just barely able to make enough money, and sometimes complains about a dull life. Despite this, he and Luigi seem to excel at their jobs, as it is stated that they have one of the best plumbing in [[New York City]]. Also according to the show, Mario has received his plumber training from the [[Brooklyn Plumbers Academy]], founded by [[Salvador Drainotto]], whom Mario holds to great respect. Mario is also skilled with various plumbing tools throughout the show's episodes, such as the [[All Purpose Portable Plumber's Helper]] and [[Plumber's Putty]], which he uses to assist him and his friends in some hazardous situations. In 2016, a bio on the Kids section of the Nintendo Co., Ltd. site indicates that plumbing was Mario's former occupation; the bio on ''Mario Portal'' reconfirmed this.<ref>[https://kotaku.com/mario-is-officially-no-longer-a-plumber-1799118840 Mario Is Officially No Longer A Plumber]. ''Kotaku''. Retrieved October 4, 2017.</ref> However, as of March 2018, the Japanese profile was updated to state that Mario is still a plumber,<ref>Schreier, Jason (March 6, 2018). [https://kotaku.com/mario-is-officially-a-plumber-again-1823545849 Mario Is Officially A Plumber Again]. ''Kotaku''. Retrieved February 2, 2020.</ref> and that statement is further confirmed by ''[[Super Mario Bros. Wonder]]''.<ref>''"Mario works as a plumber with his little brother Luigi."'' – Loading screen tip, ''Super Mario Bros. Wonder''</ref>

In addition to plumbing, Mario has dabbled in various other occupations. One of his most notable recurring alternate careers is in medicine, as his alter-ego [[Dr. Mario]], who stars in [[Dr. Mario (series)|an entire spinoff series]] and is even a separate character in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' games. Mario is also known for his participation in a wide variety of spinoff sports games, including but not limited to golf, tennis, basketball, hockey, soccer, and both kart and motocross racing. He also participates in a wide array of Olympic events and has even made a cameo as a referee in ''{{wp|Punch-Out!! (NES)|Mike Tyson's Punch Out!!}}'' Another series-specific recurring role Mario takes is as the president of the [[Mario Toy Company]] in the [[Mario vs. Donkey Kong (series)|''Mario vs. Donkey Kong'' games]].

Luigi is Mario's younger but taller twin brother. Luigi often joins Mario on his adventures, and the two of them are normally paired together in sports titles and spinoffs. They share a strong brotherly bond ever since they were babies, and Mario has always shown protective instincts towards Luigi, as in the [[Yoshi's Island (series)|''Yoshi's Island'' series]], he can sense Luigi's location and leads the [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]]s to rescue him. Even after they became adults, they still live together and remain very close and committed to each other, such as in ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]'', the ''[[Mario & Luigi (series)|Mario & Luigi]]'' series, and ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Movie]]''. Mario also is shown to be proud of Luigi when he faces his fears for him, such as when Luigi fights [[King Boo]] on three different occasions to rescue Mario, and when Mario is saved in ''[[Luigi's Mansion 3]]'', he is very happy that Luigi came to free him, and congratulates him before jumping in his arms and giving him a big hug. The 1993 official Nintendo Character Manual states that Mario, when he retires, plans to give his plumbing business to Luigi (while also implying a distinct age contrast, which conflicts with the idea that they are twins).<ref name="1993 Nintendo Character Manual">Green, Matthew. (December 30, 2014).

''Press The Buttons''. Retrieved February 16, 2016.</ref>  

The rest of Mario's family has not been extensively explored, though more often outside the games. Mario and Luigi's supposed parents make a cameo at the end of ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'', although their faces are not seen and their names are not given, same as in their appearances in "[[Family Album "The Early Years"|Family Album 'The Early Years']]" and ''[[Super Mario Issun-bōshi]]''. Furthermore, ''[[Yoshi's New Island]]'' has stated that these two are not Mario and Luigi's parents. ''The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!'', on the other hand, mentioned or featured [[Mama Mario]] in a number of episodes, depicting her as a strict woman who loves her boys very much. [[Papa Mario|Their father]] did not appear in the show, and very little is known about him. ''The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!'' and the comics also make references or depict various other relatives of Mario, including aunts, uncles, and cousins, although none have appeared in any games.

Mario and Princess Peach have been friends since childhood. As adults, Mario often saves Peach, and she usually rewards him with a kiss on the cheek or nose, a [[cake]], or even both. The German ''[[Club Nintendo (magazine)|Club Nintendo]]'' comic "[[Warios Weihnachtsmärchen]]" even reveals that they spent their graduation ball in school together, and in the official guide of ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]'', the description for the level [[Baby Mario and Baby Peach: Dynamic Duo]] states they have teamed up as babies to stop evil before the "romantic entanglements" of their adult lives. Contrariwise, in a video published on the [[Play Nintendo]] channel on {{wp|YouTube}}, Mario and Peach are described simply as friends.<ref>Play Nintendo (February 11, 2023). [https://youtu.be/KD2GUHxME5c?t=102 DIY Nintendo Cards! 🤭 <nowiki>|</nowiki> Craft with Mario, Peach & Bowser <nowiki>|</nowiki> @PlayNintendo]. ''YouTube''. Retrieved February 16, 2023.</ref> In ''Super Paper Mario'', while both Mario and Luigi deny a relationship when [[Luvbi]] asks if Peach was Mario's "lady friend," Luvbi also comments that the princess "looms large in his regard" and then wonders if Mario had a "one-sided crush." Many other sources, however, do portray Mario and Peach as having an ongoing romantic relationship as well as a friendship, such as the official European ''Super Mario'' website listing Peach as Mario's girlfriend and ''[[Mario Party 5]]'' calling Peach and Mario's team "Cutest Couple." When Mario gets kissed by Peach, he often blushes heavily and becomes embarrassed and/or infatuated before celebrating. In ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'', Peach calls Mario her "knight in shining armor," and in the first ''Paper Mario'', one of the [[Toad (species)|Toad]]s tells Mario to take Peach on a date to [[Star Hill|Shooting Star Summit]]. In ''[[Super Princess Peach]]'', after Peach rescues Mario, she enthusiastically calls and runs towards him, and they happily dance together in celebration, with Mario revealing flowers in his hat and another one in between his hair as he holds her in his arms. [[Rosalina]] refers to Peach as Mario's "special one" in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'', with the two seen holding hands toward the ending of the game. ''Mario Power Tennis'' even goes as far as showing Mario himself telling Peach of his love for her in her victory scene, which she responds to by smiling and blowing a kiss to him and Luigi, causing them to become lovestruck. Also, in Mario's victory scene in ''Mario Power Tennis'', Peach gives him a small kiss on his cheek. In ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'', after kidnapping her, Bowser declares his intention to make Peach marry him, and Mario's main motivation is to stop Bowser from taking Peach's hand in a forced marriage, separating her from him. In ''Luigi's Mansion 3'', after Luigi rescues him, Mario refuses to escape and leads Luigi to rescue Peach, and when he finds her imprisoned in a [[painting]], he is devastated, crying in despair for her. When Luigi catches up to him, Mario pleads with him to do something and free her if he is talked to.
