Mario before a match

**Mario**, Known sometimes as **Super Mario**, is a male professional wrestler who competes in SSBW. He debuted on Episode 0 in the Championship tournament for the World Heavyweight Championship. He is from Brooklyn New York City, Earth and originates from the Super Mario Bros. series of Video games and media.

He and his brother, Luigi, also made their tag team debut later the same day in the Championship tournament for the SSBW Tag-Team Championship.

## History

Mario was born in Brooklyn, New York City 35 years ago along with his twin brother, and eventual tag team partner, Luigi. The two became plumbers, eventually starting their own business "Mario Bros. Plumbing". The brothers eventually found themselves transported via magic portal to the Mushroom Kingdom where they had to save a princess over and over again. Sometimes they played tennis with lizard Hitler.

## Personality

Known for his bravery, Mario is a kind, heroic character who loves the spirit of competition. However he has at times shown he is overly competitive and can react badly to losing. He is also known to have a vicious streak in the ring, leading to some brutal attacks and moves that may seem out of character.

Despite these flaws, Mario is regarded as a kind person who isn't afraid of a challenge, and always eager to lend a hand to his friends when they need it.

## SSBW Career

Mario was one of the 8 Wrestlers revealed during SSBW's initial announcement and received a "is here" graphic along with his Brother Luigi, Wario, and Waluigi. along with Peach, Daisy, Samus, and Zelda.

### Debut

Mario Made his in ring debut during episode 0 in the tournament for the SSBW World Heavyweight Championship. He won in the first round by beating Solid Snake, before losing in the semi-final to Little Mac. He would later in the night appear alongside his brother in the Tag-Team championship Tournament, beating the Chuckle Brothers in the first round before losing by count-out to the Street Fighters in the semi finals.

### Retro Championship

On the May 18th episode of Battlefield, Mario won an elimination fatal 4 way to become the second entrant into a triple threat match at Red Ring of Death 2023 for the newly announced Retro Championship. Mario would face Guile and Julius Caesar in the three way for the belt but wouldn't capture the title, instead being outside the ring when Caesar submitted Guile to become the inaugural champion. Following the event, Mario would congratulate then World Champion Link on his victory that night, while also challenging him to a match for the title on the following Battlefield. Link would accept, but after an intense and bloody match, Mario would fail to capture the World Title.

## Relationships

### Luigi

Mario's twin brother, best friend, and tag team partner. The two have been a team since birth and do everything together, Mario always looks out for his (slightly) younger brother.

### Princess Peach

Mario's partner and occasional wrestling manager/Valet. The two have been together for many years and Mario has carved himself out a very comfortable place in the Mushroom Kingdom Aristocracy due to his relationship with it's monarch.

## Style and signature moves

Despite his cheery personality, Mario can be vicious in the ring, often attacking his opponent's weaknesses relentlessly. His signature move is the running super punch, and his finisher is the Goomba stomp, which can be preformed both from a standing position or from the top rope.

Known for his agility and jumping prowess, Mario is extremely proficient in springboard attacks and utilises them readily in the ring, soaring through the air with grace and violent accuracy.
