Geno appears in the ''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars'' volume of the ''[[Super Mario-kun]]'' manga in the same role as in the original game.
Geno appears as a centric character in volume [[Super Mario-kun Volume 50|50]] and [[Super Mario-kun Volume 51|51]] of the ''[[Super Mario-kun]]'' manga. Geno is actually absent for the majority of the volumes, having been forced by [[Princess Peach]] to switch places with him and leaving him at her castle to take her place in the form of a disguise. It isn't until the battle against [[Smithy]] that he shows up again in the story.

Geno's personality is strongly based on his confidence and attitude. Geno has more of a defiant, heroic attitude. His eagerness to confront the villain may be due to his status as an authority figure from Star Road. He also tends to show more enthusiasm than any other party member.

Geno comes off as very powerful from his first appearance as a doll when Gaz attacks using Geno and accidentally hits Mario and knocks him out. However, when Geno tries to fight Bowyer, upon striking Bowyer says, "Strong you are, but stronger am I!" One of Geno's magic powers is also potentially the most powerful attack in game, [[Geno Whirl]]. If timed just right, it deals 9,999 points of damage; if not timed right, it does average damage at best. The skill works only on regular enemies, as well as [[Speardovich]] clones, [[Machine Made]], and [[Exor]].

Although powerful, Geno is quite amiable, quick to make friends with Mario and Mallow. He has a strong sense of duty and responsibility, and his role on Star Road may be analogous to Mario's role in the [[Mushroom Kingdom]]. He even worries over the "ownership" of his physical form, and promises to return the body to the home from whence it came.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*The sprites of Geno's star form when possessing the Geno doll and those seen at the end of the game are vastly different, the former being a small, white, almost realistic star while the latter was a yellow, more traditional ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' star surrounded by yellow dots. Similarly, the sprites of the Geno doll when playing with Gaz and the one sitting pose of it seen at the end of the game are proportionally inaccurate to each other.

These discrepancies are fixed in the Nintendo Switch remake.
*When Geno uses a [[List of moves|Special Move]], a symbol of a star is superimposed over his body. While the other characters' symbols are the four main playing card symbols, Geno's is the Joker's star.
