Summary[]
The video game character that turned the small industry in the 1980's into an empire and the most memorable video game charatcer that has earned him the titles such as "Mr. Nintendo" and "Mickey Mouse of Video Games". Mario has seen and done most when it comes to video games. His deeds also landed him not just on the video screen, but the TV screen and the Silver screen. Mario is still going on strong as he's still in video game type conversations
Mario's Qualities[]
Hat[]
Mario's hat is one of the most memorable qualities that Mario has. It's not just a hat, Mario's hat is made of a special cloth that provides Mario with extra padding when Mario jumps to break sand blocks and/or magic blocks to earn himself coins, Super Mushrooms, Fire Flowers and the like.
Moustache[]
Mario just wouldn't be Mario without his moustache. Supposedly to be of a decendant similar to Italian in the real world, his moustache is what adds to his popularity if it doesn't add to his abilities in his games. Though, Mario doesn't groom his moustache and gives it a lot of punishment, but it still looks good.
Shoes[]
Mario has an impressive jump and lands on Bowser Koopa's cronies and even playing basketball(E.G. Goombas, Koopa Troopas, etc.), but Mario doesn't need sneakers for extra padding as his shoes provide more protection than any sneaker would provide.
