Top Ten Favorite Super Mario Characters

DCfnaf Aww yeah! Time for my favorite Mario characters to come out and shine! Anyone from the Luigi, DK, and Wario series may also come on the list. Also note: The top 3 (Wario, Rosalina, Ludwig) are really down to my taste. So if you disagree, instead of disliking my comments, tell me who you think should be there instead. Okay, enjoy.

The Top Ten

1 Wario Wario Wario is a character in Nintendo's Mario series who was originally designed as an antagonist to Mario. His motives are driven by greed and he will take the side of whoever will give him the most pay. Although he may seem like just a mean man with no heart, he does have a very tragic past.

WAA HA HA! Yup. This obese mess of a character is my favorite. Wario is the guy that I would play as in all the spinoffs, Mario 64, Yoshi's Island, and his own series. He is definitely the funniest Mario character. He is also one of the most developed. This guy actually never had a home or many friends. :( So next time you accuse Wario of being a heartless jerk, think about the fact that he doesn't have a real family, home, or friends. Wario does have Waluigi, and they're two guys that can just relate. In basic terms, this is my favorite Mario character, and he always will be. - DCfnaf

I have a plush Wario, and I've loved him so much he's been in the washer 3-4 times in 6 months and is really dirty as of now. I love Wario so much. - Wereweegee

2 Yoshi Yoshi Yoshi, once romanized as Yossy, is a fictional anthropomorphic dinosaur who appears in video games published by Nintendo.

! HE'S NOT NUMBER 1! DISLIKE! Sorry you 90% of the community who has this character as their favorite. Yoshi is not my favorite Mario Character, but he is definitely one of my favorites. First of all, we owe a lot to Yoshi since he brought the Mario Bros to their home. Second of all, I'm playing through Yoshi's Wooly World right now. Third of all, he is ADORABLE! - DCfnaf

3 Bowser Bowser Bowser is the main antagonist of the Mario Bros. Franchise. From kidnapping Princess Peach to simply destroying a fun game between Mario and Friends in the Mario Party spinoff series, this king of the Koopas has set up a certain hatred towards himself amongst the large cast of Mario Characters. He first ...read more.

This guy has been one of my favorite characters since the beginning, but he's not my favorite. Bowser has had the role of Villain, Antihero, Hero, Side Character, and Comic Relief. He has had the most diverse roles and is probably the strongest character. He has overpowered DK and Wario. He is a monster and will not stop trying to take over the Mushroom Kingdom. All of his different forms are also here as well. (Dry Bowser, Dark Bowser, Meowser, etc.) He is also really fun to play as in Smash Bros and Mario Kart. I just love Bowser. - DCfnaf

The only decent character in this list besides Mario.

Um...it's an opinion you know? Why do you even play Mario Games exactly? - DCfnaf

4 Rosalina Rosalina Rosalina, known as Rosetta in Japan, is a major character in the Mario Bros . Franchise . She first appeared in the popular Mario Game, Super Mario Galaxy in 2007 for the Nintendo Wii and later returned for the game's sequel in 2010 . Since then, she has been featured in many main-series Mario Games ...read more.

You can hear that Mario Galaxy music right now. Rosalina is my favorite Mario female. Females haven't been popular, Peach is always captured, and Daisy came along providing...well nothing different despite being the "tomboy princess". Rosalina is unique and very fun to play as in Smash Bros, Mario 3D World, and more. She is powerful, interesting, and has style. I also love her backstory, but I do wish she cried after reading it... :( - DCfnaf

List of female characters that are annoying in Mario series:

Peach: always gets kidnapped (it's annoying)
Pauline: Donkey Kong ain't that good...
Daisy: Potentially annoying at times.
Toadette: As annoying as a Toad can get.
Baby Peach: Waste of time.
Baby Daisy: Same as above.
Baby Rosalina: Dosen't make sense when compared to Rosalina storybook (SMG).


Rosalina: the only girl that didn't make it into this list.
I r8 Rosalina 8/8

5 Luigi Luigi Luigi is a fictional character featured in video games and related media released by Nintendo. Created by prominent game designer Shigeru Miyamoto, Luigi is portrayed as the slightly younger but taller fraternal twin brother of Nintendo's mascot Mario, and appears in many games throughout the Mario ...read more.

Well, I guess we need Mario on the list, this is my ten favorite characters...yeah no. Luigi makes it on instead because he is Luigi. Mario is bland to me, but I still like him. Luigi has gotten his own year and that year developed his character a lot. Luigi is a character who is a coward and is frightened. However, he will still go out there and try to save the person who has been captured, whether it's Peach, Mario, or someone else. This has earned me a ton of respect for Luigi. He is one of the most relatable and realistic characters in the franchise. - DCfnaf

Exactly. Mario is boring. Waluigi has more personality than he does. - Wereweegee

6 Dry Bones Dry Bones
7 Mario Mario Mario is the main character in the Mario Bros . Franchise, who was created by the creative director and video game designer at Nintendo of Japan, Shigeru Miyamoto . Mario has appeared in almost every Mario Game, including spinoff series, as a playable character, with few exceptions including New Super ...read more.
8 Ludwig Von Koopa Ludwig Von Koopa Ludwig Von Koopa is a villain in the Super Mario Franchise. He is the self-proclaimed leader of the Koopalings and has a pompous and arrogant personality. He is said to have all the powers of the other six Koopalings. He can clone himself, cause earthquakes, teleport, and shoot lightning bolts from ...read more.

This koopaling is my favorite of all time and he always will be. But he is not my favorite character. His hair, voice, and evil appearance are the main reasons he is here. He always looks like he's got a trick of his sleeve. If Bowser Jr. didn't exist, I'm pretty sure this would be Bowser's right hand man. I'm so glad that he and the other koopalings have gotten more notice recently because Ludwig is my favorite character to play as in Mario Kart and Smash Bros (I know he does the same things as Bowser Jr in Smash but it feels different when I'm playing as Ludwig). It is definitely annoying that they were added at the expense of other characters, but why did Nintendo have to include Metal, Suit, and Baby characters? - DCfnaf

9 King Boo King Boo

BOO! Did I scare you? No? Crud. Yeah, King Boo is awesome. First of all, he captured Mario. Anyone that can do that deserves a mention on the list somewhere. Second of all, he is a ghost. He is also fun to play as in Mario Kart Wii. The only thing is, he's basically a Luigi character so he got low on the list. - DCfnaf

10 Dimentio Dimentio

The Contenders

11 Count Bleck Count Bleck
12 Kamek Kamek Kamek is a common enemy in the Mario Bros. Franchise. He usually appears in New Super Mario Bros. Games, Super Mario Bros. Games, or other similar games. He also appears in spinoff titles, like Mario Party, in which he is not a playable character but creates an obstacle for the players on their way ...read more.
13 Candy Kong

Generic and ugly. Rosalina is better to be honest

A better character than peach or rosa-slime-a

She's a skanky DK character

14 Bowser Jr. Bowser Jr. Bowser Jr., or sometimes simply Jr., is a video game character who appears in Nintendo's Mario franchise as the secondary antagonist. As his name implies, he is the son of the series' primary antagonist, Bowser.

This kid is insane! Bowser Jr. has been one of my favorite "koopalings" of all time (he technically doesn't count). He became one of my favorites because of Super Mario Galaxy and his crazy inventions! He's also said to be smarter than his father. - DCfnaf

15 Waluigi Waluigi Waluigi is a selfish, greedy man who works closely with the infamous Wario. He is Luigi's rival and is known as the opposite of him. Waluigi first appeared in the Gameboy Color game, Mario Tennis as Wario's partner. He has appeared in every Mario Tennis game since, still remaining as Wario's wicked ...read more.

Hmm...I don't really like him. I think he's just a cop out of Wario that doesn't have a reason to exist. Oh well, at least he isn't Pink Gold Peach or Baby Rosalina or the Krapalings. - DCfnaf

A male skank

16 Dry Bowser Dry Bowser Dry Bowser is the fossilized version of the main antagonist of the Mario Bros. Franchise, Bowser. He first appeared in New Super Mario Bros. on the Nintendo DS after Bowser had been dumped into the lava and was left with his skeleton. Since then, Dry Bowser has appeared as a villain in games like Super ...read more.

This guy is the cool version of bowsers and is hard to unlock in some games. he is #1 on my list

17 Nabbit Nabbit

Nabbit is a newly introduced character who appeared out of nowhere. Just meeting the character automatically made him one of my favorites. He was automatically playable in his second appearance. His main trait is that he is indestructible. - DCfnaf

18 Fawful Fawful Fawful, known in Japan as Gerakobits, is a fictional character appearing in the Mario & Luigi series of role-playing video games developed by AlphaDream.
19 Admiral Bobbery Admiral Bobbery
20 Captain Toad Captain Toad Captain Toad is a variation of the major character, Toad in the Super Mario Bros. Franchise. He first appeared as a playable character in Captain Toad levels in Super Mario 3D World and later appeared as a playable character alongside Captain Toadette in Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker.

I would've never put these guys on the list if it wasn't for Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker. It made two unknown and generic characters have some personality. Toad is really fun and always cheers me up. I am also starting to like Toadette because of this game and Paper Jam. - DCfnaf
