Mars/Relationships

These are the relationships **Mars** has in SolarBalls.

### Earth

Mars and Earth are best friends, seen playing cards with each other in most of the episodes. Even so, he isn't afraid to call out Earth when he does something reckless or idiotic.

However, their friendship had started to develop cracks in the episode "The Truth about Titan" when Earth rudely tells Mars that moons should know their place and that just because they have the conditions to support life didn't mean that they could be planets as well when Mars brought up the topic of how Titan, Saturn's moon who came eagerly to meet Earth, had favourable geological features to support life. Earth's remarks hurt Titan's feelings, making him leave in disgust. As a result, Mars started to distance himself from Earth, as shown in "Is Earth special?" and told him that he is not unique just because he had life since there is a minimum of 1.4 billion planets like him the Milky Way Galaxy itself. Finally, Mars told Earth that if he didn't apologize to Titan, he can just play Solitaire and leaves while throwing the cards away.

This relationship is further shunned as in "My Best Friend, the Earth!"Earth and Venus get along, become "best friends" and make fun of him. He was invited to battle Venus in "Who-is-the-better-friend-to-the-Earth" competition on "Venus vs Mars" and initially won, but quit the competition after he made Venus lose, even after arriving on time. He tells the Earth that he made the competition all about himself again "just like with Titan" and how Venus and he are "not nearly as toxic as him". Exposing Earth's true colours, he storms off in a rage. Despite this Mars still seems to be worried about The Earth in "The Earth Alone - Part 1", where he asked Venus if he had recently talked to Earth. Not only that but Mars is still willing to protect Earth against Ganymede and Europa and their army of moons in The Battle of the Planets. He soon acknowlegded that the Earth has changed into a better planet, and might soon be willing to befriend him again.

**Status: Best Friends**
### Venus

Venus and Mars are frenemies, usually sharing facts with each other. Venus is sometimes seen hanging out with both Earth and Mars, however, after Earth became "best friends" with him, he appears to dislike Mars for turning his back to Earth and getting angry over things such as when he accidentally threw an asteroid at Mars.

He was told by Mars that being a good friend is more than hanging out with them, but to help them improve. Mars also led him to believe that he was only dragged to the competition for "validation" and decides to unfriend Earth.

But while Earth goes through being alone and trying to crash into the Sun, Venus and Mars are friendly to eachother in episodes such as The Battle of the Planets where they play cards together before being attacked.

**Status: Neutral**
### Mercury

Mercury and Mars are on good terms, but sometimes makes fun of him for his size. Despite this, he is supportive to Mercury and helped him be more confident of himself.

**Status: Good**
### Jupiter

Jupiter is also on good terms with Mars and also shares facts to him. He can be seen hanging out with Jupiter on "Venus wants a makeover!".

**Status: Father-son like relationship**
#### Phobos and Deimos

Mars has a good relationship with Phobos and Deimos. He cares about them and doesn’t want them to be hurt. But at times he doesn’t notice them like in the episode “How dangerous are asteroids” he tosses a huge asteroid and doesn’t see them when he spins it. When the moons beat him up and Venus; Phobos and Deimos teared up when they were told Mars had been attacked which shows they care about Mars back.

**Status: Family**
