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 he is also eager and cocky on 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 is a heroic Italian plumber, with media outside the games depicting him from [[Brooklyn]].

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, remarks balefully that the disturbed Delfino Airstrip resembles a "giant empty plate" and frets that he is going to miss dinner;<ref>@MarioBrothBlog (April 13, 2024).

Accessed April 13, 2024</ref> ''[[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 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, remarks balefully that the disturbed Delfino Airstrip resembles a "giant empty plate", and frets that he is going to miss dinner;<ref>@MarioBrothBlog (April 13, 2024).

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]]''. | 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]]).
