Top Ten Mario Characters that Deserve Less Hate

The Top Ten
1 Princess Peach Princess Peach is a major character in the Mario Bros. Franchise. She is the lead female of the The Mario franchise. She is usually the character who needs saved in most Mario Games, but also has appeared as a playable character in the Main-Series Mario Games, including Super Mario 3D World, Super Mario Bros. 2, Super Mario Run, and even starred in her own game, Super Princess Peach for the Nintendo DS. She has appeared in many spinoff series, too, including Mario and Sonic Olympic Games, the Mario Kart series, the Mario Party series, Mario Sports Games, the Super Smash Bros. Series, and many more.

I completely agree with this! A lot of people seems to give Peach a pretty hard time, due to her getting "Kidnapped". But guys, The Mario Bro. Series was created back in the 1980's. Female heroes were basically unheard of. Back then, Female characters were known to be the damsel in distress. Besides, if Peach weren't to be kidnapped. What would the premise of the game be then? Just to randomly defeat Bowser with no reward? Peach plays an important role. However, I can agree with that it can get a little tiring after awhile. But Nintendo seems to be fixing that. (Ex; Super Mario World) it's a slow process. But I do see that Nintendo is showing how Peach can be a strong character.

Reply to DCfnaf yes she really does and it's obvious to us that aren't head over heels for her. For example Mario Kart 8. Did you notice the roster? Nobody else got cloned so many times other than her. Peach, Baby-Peach, Pink-Gold-Peach, Cat Peach?!?! That's clearly Peach bias! It's ironic people like to rag on Rosalina, but Nintendo shows much more bias towards Peach. It's really really annoying when you really want to see your favorite character join Mario Kart. Yet they keep getting ignored because the developers decided to clone Princess Peach 20x times. Why? She really doesn't need all of those roster slots. Have some consideration for the others, it's unnecessary to give her all of the favoritism.

Yeah, too bad she probably won't. 99% of people still can't she past her kidnappings, even those who research her and the Mario universe. However, lying about her is unacceptable. Would you like me saying Bowser has a crush on Toad, or vice versa? No, you wouldn't. Unlike characters like Daisy and Rosalina, their opinions of Peach would take way too long to shift. I wish I could just share my whole opinion for everyone in the world to see so that way they would at least stop lying about her.

The people who hate peach literally break my heart. She is my FLIPPING IDOL. Listen guys that want peach removed from the game's, we CAN NOT remove her. Why? Because if there were no peach then mario wouldn't be there. If you love mario but hate peach, think about what I said. If anyone thinks that someone else should be on the top of the list then read what I said. Peach is an important character to the series.

2 Wendy O. Koopa Wendy O. Koopa is a female villain in the Super Mario Bros. franchise. She is the only female member of the Koopalings and is usually found assisting Bowser on his wicked plans with the rest of the Koopalings. She first appeared in Super Mario Bros. 3 in 1988 and since then has been a reappearing foe in the Super Mario Bros. and New Super Mario Bros. series. She has also appeared as a villain in the Paper Mario series and similar games. She is a playable character in the Mario Kart franchise and other spin-off series and can be played as an alternate skin to Bowser Jr. in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U/3DS and its sequel Ultimate for Switch.

All the koopalings are hated, but Wendy is probably the worst. People just use stupid non-canon evidence from comics and T.V. shows to show that "Wendy is a stupid brat." and "Wendy is a spoiled piece of crap as a boss character." People, stop the hate. At least she's an original character, unlike Cat Peach (cough cough).

She does deserve less hate, but so does Peach, who is neither an actual witch nor the b-word that rhymes with witch and no I won't deal with it.

Seriously stop hating her for the T.V. series, that's not even the real Wendy! I mean ever her name is different!

That there are reasons to hate Wendy? Never judge a book by its cover, it will be ugly but good villainess.

3 Birdo Birdo is a dinosaur that is well known for her (or his) confused Gender. It was originally stated that Birdo was a male who believed he was a female, but this was changed in later games. Birdo is commonly referred to as a girl, however, they are in a relationship with Yoshi. Birdo first appeared in Super Mario Bros. 2 as an enemy towards the player. She is now included in many spinoff titles of the Mario franchise as a playable character, including the Mario Kart series and the Mario Party series.

Ugh. Iv'e always thought Birdo was a bit weird to be honest, but come on, why the hate? She's completely original, looks cool, and who cares about her confused gender? As DCfnaf said, Mangle is always debated on it's gender but everybody loves her. This is outrageous people.

Birdo got a lot of hate because her gender is confused... but isn't evident that Birdo is a girl? Come on! And at least she has personality!

Who cares what gender SHE is? I think the gender is pretty obvious. Pink, wears a big bow, jewelry, makeup, etc.

I hate that people hate her but then they turn around and praise dumb characters like Rosalina.

4 Rosalina Rosalina, known as Rosetta in Japan, is a major character in the Mario Franchise created by Nintendo. She first appeared in the 2007 Mario Game, Super Mario Galaxy 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 and many spinoffs. She has appeared as a playable character in Super Mario 3D World for the Nintendo Wii U in 2013 and is a playable character in the Mario Kart series and Mario Party series. She also has come into Super Smash Bros. for Wii U/3DS as a part of the large character roster.

Stop with the hate for Rosalina! Isn't a good thing that Rosalina ended up being in lots of games, Unlike other characters that appear in one game and then become non-existent. Rosalina is a very unique character and if we ever see a Super Mario Galaxy 3, I want to see Rosalina have a major role. I have even made up my own fan version of SMG3 in my head, which gives Rosalina a very important role. Rosalina is a character who should stay around until Nintendo stops releasing games, which should never happen!

Yes, it's the Rosalina fan here. I don't know why Rosalina is hated, because people always used to argue that she was the most awesome female character in Super Mario Galaxy and after. People literally kept asking Nintendo to bring her to more games and suddenly they're being ungrateful idiots who hate her because of her more appearances. Peach isn't hated on, and she's been part of the series and in all spin-off games since 1985! Outrageous people!

Rosalina haters are WORSE than the fans. They would bully the fans because they like her and accuse them as perverted. I hate them so much they get too far. I respect those who dislike her but going to far with this "Reasons to hate Rosalina" list. She deserves love like Daisy and Mario. She deserves a better fandom that isn't perverted. She deserves to be in Mario games. End of discussion. Suck it Rosalina haters.

This should be top 1! Rosalina is getting hate for really dumb reasons. Peach deserves all the hate she gets because she sits around doing nothing, but Rosalina controls galaxys. She helped a Luma even though she lost her mom. She has done way more than Peach. If she or Daisy ever got kidnaped, they would try to escape. Don't attack me Daisy fans because I was just gonna tell you that Saisy is a very good character and doesn't deserve this hate ether.

5 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.

Wario is hated because he is fat and he farts.

You judge a character based on physical appearance and bodily functions. If you actually paid attention to his character instead of his design, you'd know that Wario was not shown to have a clear home and that he isn't sure whether he's a good guy or a bad guy. He attacks Mario's castle, but doesn't mind helping him in Super Mario 64 DS. He also has a really fun game series and several interesting characters like Mona, Jimmy, and Captain Syrup.

Yet all of this is overlooked since he is fat. Shame on all of you.

Wario is the best anti hero here, he stole Mario's castle! How can people prefer Waluigi over him? Huh? Because Waluigi has a personality, a develop, an important reason of existence and originality right? Oh, wait...

Wario is fat and unoriginal and shouldn't exist. It's his fault we get halfassed characters like Rosaline, Daisy, Metal Pink gold barbeque cat peach etc. They should have used Tatanga instead at least he is a creative character and not an obese Mario.

What's up with the hate? What did Wario do?

6 Princess Daisy Princess Daisy is a fictional character in the Mario series of video games, in which she is the princess of the fictional region of Sarasaland.

Daisy debuted in Super Mario Land in 1989, after few other appearances she disappeared for nine years until she was brought back in Mario Tennis (2000).

Daisy is known for being a tomboy especially compared to Princess Peach and Rosalina and... read more

Personally I think Daisy should by number 1 on this list because almost ever Daisy hater bullies her for pointless or false reasons. I disagree with you guys saying that Peach haters are the worst because most of the Peach haters are actually fans of the 28 year old you tuber SlimKirby. I'm not interested in Princess Peach as much as I'm interested in Paratroopa who is a spiritual red Koopa Troopa who I first met when I played the Nintendo Game Cube video game Mario Kart: Double Dash. But most of Peach's haters defend SlimKirby.

So Daisy has an annoying "Hi I'm Daisy! " quote? Lots of characters have quotes that can be just as annoying if not more annoying. Peach has "Oh, did I win? ", Mario has "Yehoo! " and "It's a me, Mario! " which is the same as "Hi I'm Daisy! ", Waluigi has "Too bad, Waluigi time! ", Wario has "Wario the Wiener! ", I'm-a Wario! I'm-a gonna ween! ", and "It's a me Wario! " which is also the same as "Hi I'm Daisy! ", Hammer Bro has "HALLO! ", "Hoo HOO! " and "Yo YO! ",

7 Bowser Jr. Bowser Jr., or sometimes simply Jr., is a video game character who appears in Nintendo's Mario franchise as the secondary antagonist. He is the youngest son of the series' primary antagonist, Bowser.

I've seen two top ten hated video game characters lists with THIS CHARACTER on it. Bowser Jr is hated because he is a spoiled and annoying brat. However THAT is what makes me like him as a villain. He doesn't want to battle Mario and the others because he has some sort of vengeance or hatred for Mario. He does it to please his Dad. Bowser Jr is a very unique villain in terms of motives. I also really enjoyed some of the boss battles with him (mainly his Super Mario Galaxy 2 fights). They were very memorable.

Peach and Daisy deserve all the hate they get. Peach sucks. All she does is get captured. Daisy hasn't done any good either. At least bowser Jr. has some story in sunshine. And outside of bowser he has the most variety in boss fights. The koopalings don't suck because they are overused, they suck because their fights are all the same. Bowser Jr. shows how one guy can still be fun over and over. He's also gotten less annoying over the years.

People don't get it. He's supposed to look like baby bowser which is bowsers younger self. Bowser Jr. is supposed to look the same because they are the same species

He's not even bad

8 Mario Mario, originally named Jumpman, is the main character of the Super Mario Bros. franchise, created by the creative director and video game designer at Nintendo of Japan, Shigeru Miyamoto. Mario has appeared in almost every Mario game, including games in spin-off series as a playable character, with few exceptions including New Super Luigi U, Luigi's Mansion games, Yoshi's Island games, and similar counterparts. He is the most iconic character in video game history and is Nintendo's unofficial mascot. His franchise has grown to be the most successful video game franchise of all time.

Mario is underrated cause of stupid myths. A theory is a myth and a myth is something that needs proof to be true Mario eats mushrooms and people eat mushrooms on pizza so the Mario is mental theory is basically fake if you like mushrooms on your pizza. I hope no one is offended. If you read the message down below I hope you realize that I wasn't trying to hate anyone.
Hope you have a awesome day!

The theories ''Mario is mental'' and '' Mario is a communist'' are bull! I mean, he truly loves his little brother, he's a great friend towards Yoshi and he risks to protect the ones he loves! He's the videogame mascot, for crying loud! I also heard about some of Matpat's other videos, and he's a LIAR! His theories are just wrong!

Crazy Luigi fans take the Mario is Mental video too seriously. Mario being mean to Luigi is just a theory but they think it's 100% true.

He deserves less hate, and this is coming from a guy who likes Luigi. these Luigi fans were bashing the main character "mario".

9 Morton Koopa
10 Pauline Pauline, also known as Daniella Verducci, is the original damsel-in-distress whom Mario must rescue from the eponymous ape in the original Donkey Kong.

She should be in Mario Tennis and Mario Kart games. She's like the firs female character ever to appear in Mario and Nintendo has just decided to throw away all the potential they could've had with this character but no, they had to make her only a background character. How stupid is it that they add Metal Mario, Cat Peach, and other filler characters when they could've added a bunch of other original characters. So stupid!

Now that she's a legit part of the franchise again rather than a historical footnote, I'd like to think the hate is at least starting to die down. Though heaven help us if she's in Smash Switch given the hate Rosalina suddenly got when she appeared in Smash 3Ds/Wii u.

Wendy > Pauline FACTS! I h8 her along with The Peach clones they need to stop stealing Wendy's chance to be in more mario games.

Hated just because she's not a princess? Are you serious? There can be normal citizens too

The Contenders
11 Toad Toad, known in Japan as Kinopio, is a major character in the Mario Bros. franchise. He assists Princess Peach in the Mushroom Kingdom and will do whatever it takes to help her. He first appeared in the classic game, Super Mario Bros. after being kidnapped by Bowser and his minions. Since then he has been a reappearing character in the Mario Bros. series as a playable character in the New Super Mario Bros. series, Super Mario 3D World, Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker, Super Mario Run, and many other games. He also appears as playable character in many Mario-spinoff games including the Mario Kart series, Mario Party games, Mario and Sonic Olympic Games, Mario Sports Games, and many more. ...read more.

Why? are you people forgetting the fact that he helps Mario on his adventures in the main series games? He's not a bad character, I actually like him more than Daisy and Peach combined. (Sorry Daisy and Peach! )

He is so cute and kind he deserves less hate!

12 Larry Koopa Larry Koopa is the youngest koopaling. He first appeared in Super Mario Bros 3, which came out in 1990. He is known for his blue mohawk hair. He was created by Nintendo.

His boss fights are nothing special but his haters only look at his boss fights and not at his character. He has a personality in the spin off games just like the rest of the Mario characters. Also his haters are really rude and call people idiots for liking a character they do not.

13 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 his hands. He can also flutter. He was named after Ludwig Van Beethoven and both have similar hair. He is the smartest and cruelest Koopaling.

He gets way too much hate on this site. Mostly everyone here hates him because his boss fights are "bad". Ludwig has the best boss fights out of all the Koopalings.

Oh, who the hell put Ludwig on the list?

14 Waluigi Waluigi is a lanky self-centered, brusque young lad as he is considered evil and the main rival of Luigi. Waluigi is shown causing local havoc in most games he appears in alongside his partner Wario. Waluigi is not instinctively evil or the antagonist (not counting DDR), as a matter of fact, he shows great compassion for his fellow peers, typically for characters Daisy and Wario. Waluigi is also described... read more

"But he's not in a platformer! " He is now in Mario Maker. That and being in a platformer doesn't make for a good Mario character. Waluigi has more character than all the regular enemies.

"He's a filler character, a clone..."

Half the roster is exactly that. At least Waluigi has actual character.

Daisy fans calling him filler apparently is they're unaware Daisy is just as filler. Poor things.

15 Lemmy Koopa The youngest of the seven original children of the Koopa King. Lemmy has always been fascinated by the circus and acrobatic acts and so he's made it his life's calling. Lemmy dreams of showing the world his incredible physical feats and never passes up a chance to gain a captive audience. Though he clearly suffers from a degree of mania and is therefore unpredictable, Lemmy is far and away the least malevolent of the seven Koopalings.

4 reasons why people hate him here:

1. "He uses a dumb ball." At least he uses something different that makes him stand out.

2: "He's supposed to be evil yet he acts happy and nice." That gives Lemmy a personality. I like Lemmy being portrayed as not evil.

3. "He cries." Daisy, Bowser Jr, Toad, and Toadette cry too but why do they get a pass?

4. "He's a Koopaling." That does not explain how he's a bad character.

16 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 to winning, like mixing up their orbs.

I actually like him because he makes your boss battles much more fun and challenging. Do you guys want to games to be cakewalks? (Well...more than cakewalks? )

He definitely pisses off the best of us, but that's why I like him. :D
Makes the game more challenging, why was this guy not in Mario Kart 8 deluxe?

Does he get hate?

17 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 appeared in the 1985 popular videogame, Super Mario Bros., in which he was responsible for kidnapping Princess Toadstool (more commonly known as Princess Peach), which was released in Arcades and on the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) Videogame System.

I'm sick of people saying that Bowser uses the sand plans over and over. He doesn't. Other than that,he is generally liked.

Bowser is awesome

18 Iggy Koopa
19 Mona

It's all the Wario/Captain Syrup shippers who hate her for "interfering", never mind that Wario and Syrup are rivals thus wouldn't hook up anyway.

DCFnaf hates Her because she's not a dumb Mary Sue or a yellow peach clone.

20 Toadette Toadette is a character in the Mario series. She is a female Toad who first appeared in the Nintendo GameCube video game Mario Kart: Double Dash.

Don't take this wrong. Toadette was my favorite character to play as in Mario Party 8, 10 Star Rush but she and Paratroopa both serve the same purpose in spinoffs. So that Toad could have a partner and Koopa Troopa could have a partner. Paratroopa is a character in the Mario Series. But I like Paratroopa better because he is a spiritual red Koopa Troopa who first appeared in the Nintendo GameCube video game Mario Kart: Double Dash.

I think the reason why Toadette gets a pass for appearing in everything is because unlike Rosalina, Toadette was created for spinoff games only and most people feel that Rosalina has had more than her fair share of appearances in spinoffs. Toadette has only appeared in half the spinoffs Rosalina appeared in. Therefore people hate Rosalina more but hate Toadette less.

I've changed my mind on her, I think she is starting to get a little overrated. She was in Captain Toad, then in Paper Jam, and now in Super Mario Run. So the majority now hates Rosalina because of her appearances in everything but somehow she gets a pass. Logic, my friends.

She got some hate because people see her as a "toad clone" and "filler character", Toadette and Toad are the same species but not exactly clones, for the filler part... well... she was born for became a Toad partner in Mario Kart but at least she had a develop, some decents appearences in RPGs and an important role in Captain Toad:TT wich is not a main game but it was something important for her.

21 Toadsworth

Guys, this is just stupid. There's no reason to hate Toadsworth! End of story!

22 Queen Bean

Does she even get hate? She's so unknown

23 Candy Kong

Not a Mario character

Not a mario character

24 Koopa Kid

This guy is horrible

25 Boshi

He is the Wario to Yoshi! How is he hated?
