Mario is a bright-eyed, cheerful plumber famous for his mustache, blue overalls, and red shirt and cap. He is the brother of Luigi and a trusted friend of Princess Peach, but he’s also so much more than that. When he’s not golfing or playing tennis, Mario is busy saving the Mushroom Kingdom from his archrival, Bowser. His world is full of both danger and wonder, and he often relies on the help of his close friends when he’s off on adventures and battling his enemies. He regularly takes on the role of a kart racer, sports star, or even doctor.
