Mario- By Dyson

          The video game character Mario is a pudgy mustachioed plumber who always saves a woman, no matter who that woman is. I think some of you know Mario, right? Well, here are some things that you probably don’t know about him. Please allow me to tell you:

·         In the game Super Princess Peach, Mario, Luigi and Toad are captured and Princess Peach has to save them.

·         Mario’s power-ups are: hammer, mega mushroom, Tanuki suit, wing cap, feather cape, fire flower, ice flower, metal cap, invincible star, invincibility cap, invisibility cap, penguin suit, cloud mushroom, starman, super mushroom, Boo Mario, Spring Mario, propeller mushroom, 1-up mushroom, Hover FLUDD, Rocket FLUDD, Turbo FLUDD, and Spray FLUDD.

·         Princess Peach has a talking parasol named “Perry”.

·         Mario’s house is called Mario’s Pad.

·         Characters with big noses and hands and grass skirts are called “Pianta” which means “plant”.

·         Super Mario Sunshine is the hardest Mario game to come out in history.

·         In Super Mario RPG, Bowser joins Mario in an attempt to get his castle back after his army is destroyed.

·         Bowser has eight children: seven of them are the Koopalings, and his other son is Bowser Jr.

·         Bowser Jr. believed that Princess Peach was his mother.

·         The turtles are called Koopas, and they are one of the most loyal kinds to Bowser.

·         Super Mario RPG is like the only game where Bowser cries like a baby.

·         Yoshi is a non-playable character in Super Mario 63 since he appears once in the game.

·         Yoshi’s Power-ups are the dash pepper, blimp fruit, and bulb berry.

·         Yoshi raised Bowser from a baby.

·         Bowser could ground pound at age one.

·         Yoshi’s rival is a dinosaur named Boshi.

·         Mario’s enemies are Donkey Kong, Wario, and Bowser.

·         In Super Princess Peach, Princess Peach has infinite lives.

·         Mario originally was a carpenter.

·         Mario became a plumber after being a character that was underground for a long time.

·         Princess Peach used to be Mario’s girlfriend, Pauline, and then Princess Toadstool.

·         In Super Mario Defense, you have to defeat Mario and Luigi before they take over Bowser’s Castle.

·         Bowser has four generals: Goomba, Koopa, Kamek, and MagiKoopa.

·         Mario’s three aged friends are Toadsworth, Frogfucius, and Grandpa Penguin.

·         Fish, also known as Cheep Cheep, can usually hurt Mario.

·         In Super Luigi Galaxy, spinning underwater can greatly decrease Luigi’s air supply.

·         Luigi is younger than Mario.

·         The Poison Mushroom causes Mario to shrink or die.

·         Mario can stand on clouds.

Another thing I'd like to share is that Mario‘s brother Luigi is very clumsy. Although Luigi has saved Mario more than once, Luigi is usually the one in trouble besides Princess Peach.

I hope that you have learned something you didn’t know before about Mario. If you know something about Mario that I didn’t mention, please share.
