He was more charming in Odyssey than he has been for over a decade desu

Feels like the kind of character where you shouldn't be thinking about his character because he is mostly just your way of interacting with the game rather than telling a deep story, Even though the mario franchise has the DEEPEST LORE.

I don't feel anything.

Agreed.

My Childhood hero.

I had a REALLY shitty childhood.

BING

> it’s been one of those days

If nintendo was a bit braver they would keep making new characters, more appropiate for the current times and less cringey and push them as new better mascots.
But they are so blinded by money they fear changing the spotlight from an ugly guy will potentially ruin them, they don't know their public AND their public only contributes to stagnate nintendo's previous potential.

But Mario shows plenty of character through his actions.

He is the face of Nintendo. I hate Nintendo. Therefore I hate his face.

He's like that childhood friend who grew up into a complete tool.

DO NOT SEXUALIZE THE BROTHAS

CROSBY

He was out of character in Odyssey.

Ever since Odyssey was revealed I haven't been able to unsee his hair not matching his mustache and eyebrows. I feel nothing but autistic rage.

he gets more cringy as time goes on

In cutscenes? Actions that you as a player make does not count. Him having an angry face or a happy face in a cutscene does not mean he shows plenty of character.

>more (((appropiate))) for the (((current times)))

Literally cancer.

Sure, I'm 30 years old and loved to play mario on nintendo back when I was a single digit child but I see no reason for this shitty "Character" to progress beyond that timeline. Most fans of mario now are manchildren and nostalgia fags.

Not saying CURRENT YEAR!
I'm saying that mario is literally old and busted, too overused and it clearly not fits magically in anything they make because mascot powers.

Fitting as in if they make a legit good game and design a good protagonist for it then marked it instead of making a crossover sequel with mario on it the next year.

My hair and mustache are different colors, user.
And they're the same as Mario

That's just a sign of you growing up and moving on

What are you talking about? They do match.

That also means not making the protagonist of that popular game(s) do a cameo in a mario game.
Looking at you, inklings in Kart.

He's alright. Just a innocent hard working plumber caught up in a bad situation trying to do the right thing.

Animations and sounds are a thing user.

Please stop saying things.

Mario isnt a character, hes just a vessel. And thats perfectly fine. Thats what he should be because mario games are about the gameplay.

>have probably the most recognizable entertainment mascot besides mickey mouse
>scrap him because lol why not
You're a fucking idiot. Mario isn't old and busted.
>it clearly not fits magically in anything they make because mascot powers
Speak english motherfucker. Form your sentences properly.

I get horny for the brothers!

He's the kind of guy who thanks you for playinga his game.

do you feel intelligent when you use the jew brackets in your counter-arguments?

>most recognizable entertainment mascot besides mickey mouse
>Mario isn't old and busted.
Are you saying Mickey Mouse isn't old and busted?
Mario is ONLY a short fat guy, putting it in all kind of situations only makes it evident he doesn't fits in some of them.
He is overused to death.

The brothas are PURE and is for cute only!

...

Luigi is the one with personality

...

Mario's my favorite video game character solely because of how much of a generalist he is, he's so versatile in his design that you can put him in any type of game and he can work

Just an average man with no weird quirks which is completely fine

> I’ve been found out

I'm sick of seeing him, honestly. he's really bland. this is how I feel about star wars too. whenever someone brings it up my eyes glaze over and mind wanders somewhere else because of how trite and boring and rehashed it is.

i wonder if a new donker's penis would make mario's tummy bulge haha just asking for a friend haha

What character?

He's a charming little italian manlett. I can't feel sad when I see that pasta-eating motherfucker on the screen. That moon that you get to hear the Odyssey theme for and Mario just starts dancing if you idle for long enough was the cutest thing.

Well you have your super cool Sonic with an attitude for you kids who are 2kool for bland ol' Mario.

They both have personality, but Luigi has better one since he is basically a lovable tard who wears his on his sleeve (Those fucking "Battle Stances")

While Marios is hidden by LORE like the Sports Mix review that shows he is basically a smug superpowered celebrity.

Let us meet his cousin Salvatore!

Agreed. Mario fanbase is nomiecore to the max. Cancerous in every way

Kys beta fag

Mario can be smug when it comes to Sports, but he's humble otherwise.

The character that Mario is a nice guy who doesn't think with his dick or consider Bowser a legitimate love rival?

I loved him in odyssey. it feels like he got more of a character this time around.

Yeah but sports and that recreational shit is a TON of the games and subsequently basically shows how he is "off the clock".

And honestly it isn't like he doesn't "deserve" to be smug.

>caught up in a bad situation
>gets to fuck royalty and side bitches
>so many coins he makes Peach look poor
>superhuman strength, speed, and durability, can walk in space without a suit just fine
>cool bro who goes on adventures with you

Nigger I WISH I was in Mario's "bad situation".

>while he enjoys fighting and adventure, that doesn't mean it's always a fun time
>constantly dies and comes back to life
>has to deal with Bowser cockblocking him every week, to the point where it made him stoop to his level and ruin his proposal

His actions are perfectly in character if you subscribe to the thought that Mario is actually only into Peach because Bowser is (to a oneitis-degree) and he enjoys proving he is superior to the Dragonturtleking, Peach is just a stepping stone to that end.

Basically he is more focused on being a Bull dominating and denying Bowser then being a caring lover to Peach.

The Bowser-Peach-Mario relationship is basically a inkblot test.

>made him stoop to his level

He kidnapped his woman and took her to the moon. I'd beat the shit out of him too.

Didn't Peach rejecting both ruin the idea of the comic in your post?

Yes, and that is exactly why i posted it.

Posting old outdated WRONG shit is pretty fun, try it some time.

Mario and Peach were clearly gonna have a moment together before Bowser interrupted. Is Nintendo taking their relationship to the next level?

This, I'm really happy with how they handled Mario in Odyssey, he's the most expressive he's ever been. Just compare it to the bland as fuck NSMB Mario with his "oh yeah, Mario time" and his wahoos that make him sound dead inside.

t. fat psychopath

He's always been creepy to me, like a soulless husk that the player controls. No other game protagonist gives a feeling like that, I wonder if it's the combination of Mario's characterlessness and the fact that he's been created like that over and over by a greedy corporation.

Every series needs it's boring generic man that's overshadowed by literally every character (Except maybe Daisy)

I was playing Odyssey with my sister in the room, and I left him idle. She's 37 and she was so fucking amused by Mario showing his discomfort in a hot environment. That tells you something.

is that a fooball playing king in space?

nani in tarnation?!

I mean, that next comic still applies now. Mario finally was about to make a serious move and then Bowser ruined it.

No, Nintendo is showing the opposite.

Any hope of Mario and Peach getting together officially, married or otherwise, is dead.

Would've been better if this was his canon in-game design

>tfw no realistic looking captain lou albano costume in odyssey

>Reggie saying early Mario collaborations soured them on ever trying again
>Tfw he probably meant Super Show sucked

Why the fuck is he getting shorter and shorter. Hell he's even just as short as Toad.

But that thought makes no sense when you consider how Mario and Peach and Bowser usually are with each other.

Mario/Peach: Close friends with implied interest in each other
Peach/Bowser: Former respects the latter when not being a villain, latter is in love with her and also wants to take over her kingdom
Mario/Bowser: Enemies who have mutual respect for each other to the point of competing in sports and races without war.

Yes.

With a mustache

Super Show was great. Even now, going back and watching it, it's just so cheesy, but in all the best ways possible.

The cartoon was pretty crap though.

just like link or any other nintendo character he has as much personality as a food brand mascot

Why would they sour them?

Mario as a character is so innately uninteresting that it shows that his fame is entirely down to the quality of the games he's starred in.

I think Mario is on the spectrum
I think that Jumpman is Mario's father and his mother is a blonde Pauline and that the Pauline from New Donk isn't the same from Donkey Kong but is the one from Mario vs Donkey Kong.
I think Luigi's naturally evolving characterization has been very good.

Video games are as good as their gameplay, I know your post is just bait but Mario Odyssey plays so well that controlling Mario himself is inherently fun.

his characterization also had me realize that the reason Bowser is still around is because Mario doesn't hate him, I'd wager that Mario doesn't actually hate anyone.

this, unironically.

My favorite character in gaming

Under Miyamoto, sure, but the new people might change that. That fucking dragon would never have happened with miyamoto in charge.

...

I think after all these years nintendo should give the fucker some gray hair.

He has a gray hair, but he's 24.

>I'd wager that Mario doesn't actually hate anyone.

Since that's one of the most vocal things Charles Martinet, his voice actor, says about Mario, I would think that's true.

youtu.be/RhZuvi4HWYk?t=1519

If Mario really hated Bowser, he'd have been dead a long time ago.

Bowsers a goofball. As edgy as it sounds I think the rpg villains probably get the closest thing that Mario can get to livid, at least when they cross the line and threaten the Kingdom instead of just wanting to fug Peach.

what character

bideo geam churturs gruw oldah farstar

...

14 Carat Gold!

Charles has to be the happiest fucker around, but I worry there's a deep sadness hidden in those wahoos.

Look closer Luigi

I like him

>Mario is for _____

Pauline.

he doesn't afraid of anything
