Merchandise for the original ''Donkey Kong'' showed Mario as balding, although most media depict Mario with a full set of hair. He has short chocolate brown hair with three front locks, four back locks, and a sprout-shaped cowlick on the top of his head. The most notable change Mario has received over the years since ''Super Mario Bros.'' (omitting stylistic variations such as depictions in ''[[Paper Mario]]'') is his change in stature; Mario is shown to be much stubbier in his earlier appearances compared to his more recent appearances, starting with ''Super Mario 64''. Mario's legs and arms have grown longer over the years, giving him a slimmer look. This may have been the result of Miyamoto's response to Mario's and Luigi's "cute" appearances, and he considered redesigning the Mario Bros. to "become a bit more grown-up" in the [[Nintendo GameCube|GameCube]] era—for instance, by removing their trademark {{wp|V sign}}.<ref>[http://cube.ign.com/articles/069/069250p1.html IGN] (Accessed on 7-6-09)</ref>

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.
Mario's most prolific early 3D iteration is from ''Super Mario 64'', where he and other characters were created from {{wp|Silicon Graphics}} workstations. 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. 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.


Mario has a few stylistic variations across some games, sometimes within series. One variation is Mario's overall appearance in the ''Paper Mario'' games: It is generally the same, with black dots for eyes and no eyebrows, although he has a shorter stature. Since ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', however, Mario's body is more simplistic, with legless feet, a rounder face, and a full outline around the arms, while his mustache became brown like his hair. In addition, starting with ''[[Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam]]'', all of Mario's paper appearances have depicted him with a white outline around his entire body. Another variation is Mario's depiction in the ''Mario & Luigi'' games, although it is more subtle, where Mario is given black eyes rather than blue, and in artwork for all games in the series except for ''[[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]]'', Mario is shown with a brown mustache instead of black. The artwork for the series also shows Mario with a serious or neutral expression that never leaves his mouth visible, unlike Luigi, who is shown with a larger variety of expressions.

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.

===Speech===
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}}. When he screams or is happy or excited, his voice tends to go falsetto. 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).

After the [[Nintendo GameCube|GameCube]] era, Martinet made a slight change to the way he voices Mario, using his tenor voice more consistently and taking on a slightly lower pitch to make him more expressive, while in the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' games]] from ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' onwards, Mario's voice became deeper and raspier than usual, similarly to ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''. 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 and slightly weaker in energy due to Martinet aging. In ''[[Super Mario Bros. Wonder]]'', after Martinet stopped voicing Mario, Afghani succeeded him and gave Mario a similar but higher-pitched voice.

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.

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.

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 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].

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]].
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 (even though Mario and Dr. Mario are the same person). 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.

In addition to these, Mario has also had numerous one-off jobs, again including but not limited to a demolition worker in ''[[Wrecking Crew]]'', an archaeologist in ''[[Mario's Picross]]'', a baker in ''[[Yoshi's Cookie]]'', a factory worker in ''[[Mario's Cement Factory]]'' and ''[[Mario Bros. (Game & Watch)|Mario Bros.]]'' for the [[Game & Watch]], a soldier who delivers [[bomb]]s in ''[[Mario's Bombs Away]]'', a [[grocery]] worker in ''[[Super Mario Bros.: Peach-hime Kyūshutsu Dai Sakusen!]]'', a psychotherapist in ''[[Super Mario Adventures]]'' (albeit as a gag), and potentially a {{wp|sensei}} in ''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars''. Finally, ''[[Super Mario Bros. & Friends: When I Grow Up]]'' depicts Mario in various occupations, intending to educate children on several careers they can explore.

[[File:Mario and Peach (trophy cutscene) - Mario Power Tennis.png|thumb|left|Peach rewards Mario with a kiss after he wins a trophy in ''Mario Power Tennis''.]]
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. [[Lubba]] refers to Peach as Mario's "special someone" in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. ''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 the 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 free her if he is talked to.

Peach has not been Mario's only romantic interest, however. In the original ''[[Donkey Kong (game)|Donkey Kong]]'', [[Pauline]] was Mario's first girlfriend and damsel-in-distress, but while he still has to occasionally rescue her in the ''Mario vs. Donkey Kong'' series, the two are considered just friends now. In addition, when Mario saved [[Princess Daisy]] in her debut appearance in ''[[Super Mario Land]]'', a heart appeared overhead, implying a romantic connection. This was never explored further, however, and while ''[[Mario Party 4]]'' gave them the team name "Nice Couple," most games link Daisy with Luigi instead, with her and Mario simply being friends, not even sharing any player [[chemistry]] in the ''[[Mario Baseball (series)|Mario Baseball]]'' series.
