High Roller

High Roller is a character created by Signmanstrr. He is based off of a hypothetical "bad ending" for Super Mario 64 DS.
==Biography==
When Bowser had kidnapped the Princess and lead Mario, Luigi, and Wario to the castle, he had taken the three overall-clad heroes and sealed them within the castle. It was up to the last remaining hero, Yoshi, to find them and free them so they could all work together to save the Princess! Things would have played out the same as 64DS, except...for one reason or another, Yoshi either gave up or perished before he could make it to free any of them, leaving them all trapped within the castle, and letting Bowser keep the power of the Stars for himself.
This leaves the plumbers to forever be isolated within the crumbling Castle's walls. Mario is overwhelmed with grief and depression, feeling like a fool for ever having gone into the Castle and being caught by Bowser. He tries to find any methods he can to cope and distract himself, which leads him to the Castle's minigame plexus that seems to exist in its own world--specifically, the Casino. As the world they inhabit rapidly decays around them, Mario will spend every remaining second of his existence playing cards with the Casino's own clone of Luigi, reminding him of better times. Mario is now nothing more than a fleeting memory, a rumor of a once great hero among the people residing in the kingdom Bowser has overtaken.
==Abilities/Weaknesses==
===Abilities===
* Fast Travel: Within High Roller's domain of the Castle, he can go pretty much wherever he wants near instantaneously.
* Intangibility: While sealed within the Castle's walls, High Roller cannot be physically harmed in any lasting way.
He also has all of the abilities that normal Mario canonically has.
===Weaknesses===
At the end of the day, High Roller is still Mario. If the power of the Stars are used to free him from the Castle, he's as weak and mortal as Mario is. His extreme emotion also clouds his mind, leading to him having a slower reaction time and being easier to catch off-guard, as well as being more open to manipulation.
==Trivia==
*High Roller is very intelligent. He knows a lot about math and numbers, and also used to read quite a lot.
*High Roller's casino game of choice is Texas Hold 'Em Poker.
*It's been over a decade since High Roller had been sealed within the castle walls and the princess had been kidnapped.
*High Roller's conception began from a screenshot taken in Garry's Mod of Mario gambling.
