Mario is a character featured in the AngieYaz/RoseOfSharon reboot of the Sonic Underground television series, emigrated from the Mario video game Series. He is a former plumber who resides on Kinoko. Mario and his brother, Luigi used to live in Brooklyn, New York as plumbers.
He is voiced by Charles Martinet.
Physical appearance[]
Mario Linguino.
Mario is a twenty-five year old Italian human. Mario has fair skin, is tall yet stocky in stature (unlike his video game counterpart), and is a bit portly. He has bright blue eyes, a big nose and a thick dark-brown mustache with six bumps. Mario has short brown hair with two sideburns, three large bangs pointing upwards, four short bangs point upward the back of his neck and a sprout-shaped cowlick.
He wears a red shirt and blue overalls with yellow buttons. He wears a red cap that has the "M" symbol for his name and wears white gloves and brown shoes.
Prior to Bowser and Peach's wedding, he wore a long-sleeved shirt.
Personality[]
Mario is known for being kind, cheerful, playful, courageous, and headstrong and is also eager and cocky in certain occasions.
Mario shows generally good sportsmanship, even complimenting his opponents, though occasionally he will be upset if he loses. Finally, it has been said that Mario loves animals, especially the most unusual ones, and he also enjoys music, particularly opera or new-wave Europop. It is revealed that Mario can play the piano, guitar, synthesizer, timpani, xylophone, saxophone, and trumpet.
Mario has been shown on various occasions to have an almost overbearing attitude towards his brother. However, this could also just be Mario's outgoing "big brother" personality interacting with Luigi's more introverted nature. Additionally, Mario is much more impulsive and aggressive than his brother, Luigi, and is willing to enter dangerous situations all alone.
Mario seems to have a fixation with food. This is most notably seen in the DiC cartoon trilogy, which may also be the origin of this trait, where Mario is almost constantly hungry and fascinated with Italian food (mostly pizza and pasta), typically wanting to stop Bowser's latest scheme simply so he can eat and going to nearly any length to do so. The same is true in the Sonic Underground reboot. He likes spaghetti and ravioli, as revealed when he is dreaming of his mother Mia making food.[1]
History[]
Mario's story begins the very day that Sonic and his siblings were christened. Mario and his family had come all the way from Kinoko to present the royal family with gifts. At one point, he even kissed baby Sonic on his forehead, finding him adorable. A year later, however, Doctor Robotnik took over, forcing the Linguino family to return home to kinoko.
Fourteen years later, Mario called Sonic and his siblings, asking them if they found any clues as to their parents' whereabouts.
Trivia[]
- While his name is Mario Mario in official Nintendo material, his last name in the Sonic Underground reboot is Linguino. This is a play on linguine, a type of pasta.
