Mario Jumpman Mario is the protagonist of Project Mario. He is an Italian-American gangster who works for Donkey Kong's Mafia with his brother, Luigi. At some point between 2016-2020, Mario got into politics and considers himself a left-leaning liberal who has a strong love for the 46th U.S. President, Joe Biden. This would cause a tear in his relationship with Luigi as he has polar opposite political views.
== Personality ==
Mario is a very emotional person. He is often seen acting out of impulse and breaking down on the spot over his stress. While under pressure, Mario is often very paranoid and can lash out at people if they startle him. He is also quite petty, going as far as to have an affair with Luigi's at the time wife, Princess Daisy after hearing that Luigi was having an affair with Mario's ex-wife. When having the upper hand however, Mario can be very confident to the point of taunting his enemies while engaged in battle. Mario often likes to throw around insults in the heat of battle as a form of a battle cry and to enrage his opponents. When brought to his absolute limit, Mario will stop at no end to ensure he succeeds in his goals, even if it means using a chainsaw to brutally murder his own brother.
Mario is very into politics and a strong supporter of the left and more notably, Joe Biden. He aligns himself with liberal ideals and considers his views to be morally correct and advocates for others to share his views as well. Mario detests Donald Trump and all right-wing supporters and politicians but has a strong hate for Trump, as he is Joe Biden's opponent. Mario often attends political rallies and watches Joe Biden's speeches live. When the 2024 presidential election started to draw near, Mario began to actively convince his brother to change his political views but to no avail, this sparked a violent clash of ideals between the two, leading them to nearly annihilate each other by any means necessary.
Mario has been known to be a user of shrooms and is in contact with a dealer who delivers them to him regularly. Due to his frequent use and addiction to drugs, Mario lost custody of his son, Mario Junior. Mario is also a gambler and while not explicitly seen, it was mentioned that Mario was a skilled poker player and used to play with Luigi's friend group often. It can be assumed due to Mario's gambling and drug addiction that he is not a very stable individual, mentally and financially, and given the fact that he works for the Mafia, Mario is constantly in need of funds. In the beginning of Project Mario, Mario mentions that his son was kidnapped by a pedophile who demanded a ransom of 10$, which Mario was unable to afford at the time due to being temporarily light. 
== History ==
Not much is known about Mario's distant past, other than he and his brother used to be close and often played poker together with a mutual group of friends. Sometime before their political views drove him and Luigi apart, Mario was married to the princess of the Mushroom Kingdom, Princess Peach and had a son sometime soon before they were eventually divorced after Mario cheated on her with Luigi's wife, Princess Daisy after hearing that Luigi had done the same with Peach. Mario lost custody of his son, who was eventually kidnapped by a pedophile who demanded 10$ in ransom. Mario and Luigi would join Donkey Kong's mafia as debt collectors and continue to work under him for many years.
Around 2016-2020, Mario and Luigi got into politics and had completely opposite political views with Mario being on the left-wing and Luigi being on the right. This built tension between the two until they would eventually stop talking entirely after they both had affairs with the other's wife.
== Project Mario ==
After an angry conversation with Luigi about the upcoming election, Mario dwells over his worries about who will win. He then goes to do some shrooms, which unbeknownst to him, Luigi has laced with LSD, causing Mario to have a hallucination of Donald Trump winning the election. After doing some crying, Mario gets invited to meet up with Luigi face-to-face which ends up being a trap, as Luigi ambushes him in a garage and the two have a shootout while arguing over their grievances about the other. Mario narrowly escapes to his friend's house after being shot in the leg and takes the car to escape as Luigi shoots down the door. At this point, Luigi arranges a hit on Mario to Donkey Kong's hitmen, who shoot down his car, forcing him to escape Luigi's pursuit via bicycle. Due to Mario's exceptional cycling ability and Luigi's respect for road safety, Mario is able to lose Luigi and call on rival gang leader Bowser's son to protect him for the next 24 hours as he sends his own hitmen to kill Luigi. D.K. foresaw this, and ambushes Bowser's son's hideout and assassinates him in the process, leaving Mario to deal with another shootout with the hitmen who surrounded the building. Mario is overpowered and taken hostage by the hitmen and is taken to talk with D.K. who tells him to stay away from Luigi and the Trump rallies since Mario is a part of his mafia and so he spared him with a warning. Mario, now off the hook from the hitmen, returns home to find Luigi has vandalized it with Trump signs. Mario, at his lowest point yet, begins to plot his counterattack. Before heading to Luigi's house, he gives Peach a visit to talk to her one last time and give her the address to the pedophile who kidnapped their son. At Luigi's house, Mario finds it empty and discovers that Luigi had killed their gambling buddies and buried them in his backyard. Suddenly, Luigi returned home and out of desperation, Mario grabbed his chainsaw and hid behind the garage to ambush Luigi when he entered his backyard. Mario then chased Luigi with the chainsaw but was hit in the leg by Luigi as he ran away. Mario went back home after failing to kill his brother to commit suicide, until he realized that Luigi was plotting an assassination at the political rally. Coming to Biden's aid, Mario engaged in a sniper duel with Luigi and emerged victorious and was able to reach a consensus with his brother after all this time and watched as Luigi was arrested for the assassination attempt. Due to Luigi being in jail, Mario was promoted to work as a debt collector full-time in Luigi's stead by Donkey Kong.
