Biography
IT'S A ME MARIO!

Once an ordinary plumber living in Brooklyn, Mario soon became an all-star hero once he saved the Mushroom Kingdom from the evil tyrant Bowser. Having gone on countless adventures, Mario is no stranger to fantastical experiences. Mario has even taken roles outside of being a plumber and a hero, becoming a doctor, kart racer, boxing referee, and even a professional athlete in multiple sports. While his small stature may not be very intimidating, Mario's years of experience makes him more than a challenge to anyone willing to face him but he’s a non-Sony.

Opening
Mario's story begins with Mario standing in Peach's castle, with a group of Toads surrounding him. The Toads say "Mario! Mario! We've heard something really interesting!" Mario simply says "Hmm?" The Toads say "There's some sort of gathering going on! Heroes from all over are meeting to see who's the strongest!" The screen switches to show Mario looking away, saying "I don't know...", but the Toads say "Come on, Mario! You've saved us tons of times!" Mario then says "Okay, maybe I'll go see."

Rival
Name: Sonic the Hedgehog

Reason: Mario is seen walking in the rival stage, when all of a sudden he is knocked over by a blue blur. Mario gets up to see Sonic standing there. Mario launches a fireball at him, but Sonic dodges it. Mario says "Who-a-are you?" Sonic then says "I should be asking you the same thing! And I knocked you over on accident, no need to get violent!" Mario responds "How am I-a-supposed to believe you?" Sonic says "Fine, if you want to fight, I'll fight. But I'll warn you, a slowpoke like you could never beat me!"

Connection: Both characters are the mascots of they're respected companies, and represented by the color red and blue. Mario and Sonic both have a game called Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games by Nintendo and SEGA, and they actually crossed over the two franchises at one point. Both Sonic and Mario have appeared playable in a Super Smash Bros. game, Sonic in Brawl and Mario in 64.

Ending
Mario is shown returning to the Mushroom Kingdom, with the Toads surrounding him. They yell "Mario! The kingdom's under attack again!" Mario then says "Don't-a-worry, I'll-a-handle this!" The Toads explain "But Mario, Bowser took away all the power ups in the kingdom! How are you going to beat him without them?" The screen switches to Mario smirking, surrounded by light blue, AP energy. He says "I-a-got something better than any other power up!"

Gameplay
Mario is a perfect character to play with for beginners looking to learn the game. He's an overall balanced character with no glaring speed or power advantages/disadvantages. However, he's limited by his short melee range. He does however have quite a few defensive manuvers at his disposal.
