–***Mario when the crowbar breaks.***

**Mario** is a hero who hails from the Mushroom Kingdom and the titular protagonist of *(Mario) The Music Box* and *(Mario) The Music Box -ARC-*. He is the older twin brother of Luigi.

## Plot

Mario heard rumors from Princess Peach about a mansion located somewhere near the Mushroom Kingdom that was abandoned for over a century. The mansion was rumored to have been eating people alive; once people go there, they don't come back. Curious on why such a thing would happen, Mario decided to investigate not for the rumors, but why people have been vanishing upon visiting the mansion. Mario told this rumor to Luigi before the events of the game, stating that he was excited to explore a haunted house. He started teasing Luigi, stating that it might be full of Boos, knowing Luigi's fear over ghosts. Luigi offered to accompany Mario in the beginning, but was declined, stating he was worried for Luigi's safety, however, it wasn't Luigi he was worried about, it was his (Mario's) own. Originally, Princess Peach was to assist Mario on this journey, but due to his concerns for her safety, Mario left on his own accord, but not without regrets.

## Appearance

Mario is an Italian plumber with brown hair and black eyebrows. His hair have three front locks, four back locks and a small sprout-like tuft on the top of his head. His eyes, originally blue with black pupils, turn green when Alice possesses him(Be possessed sometimes eyes glowing green). He has a large round nose and a black mustache. His choice of clothing consist of red shirt, blue overalls with gold buttons on it, a red hat with his signified M labeled on it, brown shoes and a pair of white gloves. Though he's the oldest of the two, he's shorter in height compared to Luigi. In the Wonderland update in Mario the music box Arc, Mario's attire drastically changes. He wears a white shirt with a blue vest, and he dons a small red top hat on the corner of his head. Additionally, Mario's blue eyes also have spades in them.

## Personality

As (*Mario) The Music Box* shifts away from the Mario universe, Mario's personality is similar to an average protagonist in a typical RPG-Horror Game. In addition to his official universe's counterpart, he gains the ability to speak. He will comment on any object he examines, and give positive or negative thoughts about them. For example, if Mario examines a pot of plants, he will comment that he hates artificial plants. He is also shown to be uncomfortable around dolls, teddy bears, and mirrors, should he come in contact with them. Mario also fears the spirits that lurk inside the house, and is deeply concerned about the choices he makes. However, this does not mean all spirits since Mario can befriend those who aren't hostile towards him, even going out of his way to help them. Mario is shown to be very curious, choosing to come to the mansion just to figure out why so many people have disappeared and never came back from visiting the mansion.

One strong aspect of Mario is he cares greatly for the well-being of both his brother and Peach. This is the reason why Mario chose to go to investigate the mansion alone, without them. A common trait of Mario seen throughout the series is he cares greatly about both of them, and losing either of them (whether in bad endings or death scenes) will make Mario fall apart mentally and emotionally. In the Insane Route of Mario the Music Box, he frequently expresses his guilt for killing both Princess Peach and Luigi.

Throughout Mario's life, he was stated to be a very well-known hero across the Mushroom Kingdom, and he demonstrates many characteristics of a hero. Mario shows bravery in the playthrough for the Omitted Memory ending when he fights Alice on his own after Luigi is knocked out and Riba is killed. Mario also shows to be full of hope and unwilling to give up, no matter how hopeless things seem. Regardless of numerous spirits through the main game and Arc, Alice, and even Marchionne telling him to give up and die, Mario will still persevere, refusing to give up. When Len questions why Mario continues to fight, he replies that hope is what drives him to live and to survive. Additionally, Mario is willing to risk his life for his loved ones and for the well-being of the world. In the main game, Mario will immediately run off to look for his brother without hesitation if Riba tells him Luigi came looking for him earlier. In the Omitted Memory ending, Mario sacrifices himself to save the Mushroom Kingdom from Alice's wrath. Mario is also shown to be compassionate and even forgiving to his enemies. For example, he forgives Anna for murdering her sister and also forgives Alice as well in the True Ending, understanding that she committed murders out of desperation and the fear of death. In Arc (in the Continuance 3 and 4 endings) Mario is even willing to forgive Riba for everything that he's done, coming to trust in him and believe that he's changed.

However while Mario demonstrates the qualities of a hero, these traits have their limits. Although Mario shows bravery when dealing with situations, he does later on admit to Luigi that he is truly scared and terrified on the inside. This trait carries on in Arc, where he tells Envy the same thing, revealing that he acts brave, strong, and confident for others, while on the inside he is truly scared and afraid. Additionally, while Mario say he never gives up hope, there are times where he has become hopeless and chose to give up. When Marchionne taunts and goads Mario into hanging himself, Mario chooses to obey (though this does ironically save his life, as choosing to not give up would just lead Mario to his death). Furthermore, in the Drown ending, Mario becomes extremely hopeless knowing that everyone he's known is dead and gone. After being pestered by voices of the dead, he chooses to attempt suicide by drowning.

While Mario generally shows the traits of a hero, Mario occasionally shows a much darker side of himself. In the Insane Route of Arc, Mario viciously attacks the silhouette figure of Luigi in blind rage, completely believing that the real Luigi is actually dead. This belief ends up later on leading him to unintentionally kill the real Luigi, also believing that he was a fake. When Mario is locked in the gas room, he will break out and immediately attack and kill the person that locked him in there, without hesitation (which turns out to be Riba). And furthermore, during the Insane Route, Mario has many options and chances to choose to betray and kill Riba. Mario also shows this dark side of him the Sane Route, during the Betrayal ending. After being betrayed and killed by Luigi, Mario will come back as a hostile ghost, angry that Luigi murdered him just as he was about to escape. Though Luigi explains himself and says sorry, Mario kills Luigi regardless.

## Weapons

### Knife

This weapon is usually used by Alice, sometimes himself(normal/be possessed) also uses this weapon.

### Chainsaw

This weapon was found in the corpse room on Sane route, in ARC Revamped version, press the Z key to use the chainsaw.

### Cleaver

This weapon was found in the corpse room on Insane route, after Misery dies, this weapon will be dropped.

### Machete

In the Marchionne boss fight (while Riba was alive), he uses the machete to fight Marchionne.

## Powers and Abilities

Mario, while not anywhere as impressive as his official counterpart, has shown to be an extremely powerful force and much more impressive than a normal human. He's faced and overcame many of the dangerous spirits and entities in the game, including Alice, Riba, Marchionne, and even Len for a brief period of time (though it should be noted Len was holding back).

**Superhuman Physique**: Mario is much more physically capable than a regular human. He's demonstrated to be much physically stronger than a regular person, like when he fought and overpowered Alice on the rooftop of the mansion. He's also demonstrated impressive strength in the Insane Route of Arc, when he incapacitated Riba by catching him off guard and stabbing him repeatedly. He is somewhat faster than a normal human, and a good example of his speed is where he was forced to run through a long pathway away from Vittoria, while avoiding several different holes and traps, and escape, all within 30 seconds. He's also more agile than a human and able to leap and jump far distances, like he demonstrates in the Garden Area should the player chooses to attempt to jump over the pit (however this will lead to a game over since Mario grabs the ledge but slips off). He also shows to have much more endurance than a normal human, able to survive being stabbed right through the chest from Riba in the Sane Route, and can still even walk and move around after. Additionally, in some of his death scenes (among the main game, Arc, and Wonderland), Mario is even still able to stay conscious for a long period of time even despite receiving fatal injuries. An extreme example of this is shown in Wonderland, where Mario stays conscious for a brief moment after having a flower grow out of him; specifically the flower bloomed out of his eye while thorns were stabbing and growing through his entire body from the inside out.

**Intellect and Quick Planning**: Mario demonstrates to be quite intelligent in the game, being shown to solve numerous puzzles in the mansion and in Evangeline. As he walks around the house, finds clues, and takes notes in his journal, Mario eventually came to piece together the true story of what happened in the mansion. Mario is also a critical thinker when he's faced with confrontation and conflict, knowing whether to run or fight when dealing with spirits. Impressively, when in the midst of bad situations, he shows to be able to formulate quick plans, and even sometimes outsmart his opponents. There are many examples of this. After being attacked by Mercy, Mario immediately finds salt and uses it against her. In the boss fight with Riba, Mario drops a chandelier on him, knowing that killing him would release his hold on Luigi. When he is forced to fight Helena in her realm, Mario outsmarts her and uses all of her traps against her. He's also shown to be knowledgeable on certain spirits, such as in the Sane Route, where Mario shows to be aware of how hostile lanterns are to the living and deduced that he shouldn't let himself be seen by them. He also seems to know how to appease certain spirits and help put them to rest, like he does to Serina, Anna, Alice, Norma, and a few others. However, his greatest feat of intelligence is eventually coming to realize that the only way to truly best Len and free himself from her control is to just not save, and not tempt fate at all.

**Determination and Willpower**: Mario's greatest strength aside from his intellect is his sheer will and desire to not give up. Even in the midst of hopeless situations like being possessed by Alice and struggling to escape the mansion alive, he's shown that he wouldn't give up and continues persevering no matter what. Mario also demonstrates impressive willpower by being able to resist Alice's control for most of the game, since she only completely possesses him in certain events in the game. Despite the mental and emotional trauma he's gone through and having numerous spirits and enemies telling him to give up and just accept his fate, Mario has refused and continued to persevere, determined not to die in the mansion. In the Sane Route of Arc, Mario becomes determined to calm down and reason with his brother, as well as later save him from Riba's grasp, despite Luigi's former negative feelings towards him. In the Insane Route, Mario still shows this determination, telling Marchionne that he will live on for those that he lost. Even in the fight with his ancestor, Mario's willpower completely overpowers Marchionne's, allowing Mario to defeat him.

**Combat Prowess**: Despite mostly being shown evading and completely avoiding his enemies most of the time in the game, Mario has shown to be somewhat proficient in combat. In the main game, he fights and defeats Alice all by himself with just his bare hands and sheer will. In Arc, Mario takes this further and demonstrates to be very skilled when using a blade, despite presumably having never done so before (this could possibly be a trait that he's inherited from Marchionne). He's able to stand up to and slay numerous shadow figures and giant spiders in the Insane Route. He's even able to overcome other more skilled, more powerful, and highly experienced entities like Misery and even Marchionne himself, as well as Sündige Nacht in Wonderland.

**Loading and Saving**: It is hinted by Marchionne/Sündige Nacht in most of their death scenes (and later flat out revealed by Len), that Mario has the ability to load and save each time he dies, allowing him to learn from his previous mistakes and overcome them. It's unclear how many times Mario has canonically used this ability (considering the experience of playing Mario the Music Box obviously varies from person to person), but in the ending of Continuance 4, Len sends Mario into a pit full of all the others that came before him, indicating that Mario has died quite a lot.

**Heightened Reflexes**: Mario does occasionally show to have impressive reflexes and reaction speeds in the game, like during the Insane Route where he manages to avoid blasts of magical lightning, as well blasts of light, from Marchionne. In the Insane Route, if the player messes up the puzzle where they have to place the moon and lady statues down correctly, they'll trigger a trap with a wire moving across the room (which in the Sane Route, completely blitzed Mario and Luigi all under a second and swiftly killed both of them). However, upon seeing it coming, Mario can quickly jump over and avoid it, depending on the player's choice.

**Stealth**: Mario demonstrates to be capable of stealth throughout the game, as he frequently manages to successfully hide from dangerous beings and entities. In the Insane Route, he shows two instances of being able to quietly move past enemies. One is when he manages to quietly sneak past Norma as well as several sleeping wolves in the Silent Forest. He also sneaks past three horrifying manifestations of Alice's mother during the trial of wrath at the Church. Mario in both Routes has also been able to move past Lantern spirits without getting spotted.

## History

Mario was born in the Mushroom Kingdom, centuries after the death of his previous life. He grew up with his younger brother, Luigi. Not much is particularly known about their past and childhood, however it is hinted throughout the games that Mario and Luigi are both heroes and that they've both gone on plenty of adventures. Mario in particular is very famous among the kingdom for his bravery, while Luigi lived under his shadow. Despite this, Mario greatly cares for his brother since he's the only family he has left (implying that their parents have either died or abandoned them).

At some point in time, Mario has heard rumors of a haunted mansion that no one has ever returned from and he became interested in investigating; not because of the rumors, but to find out why so many people have disappeared at the abandoned home. The princess told him where the mansion and they were supposed to investigate together, however Mario would ultimately decide to go alone, despite knowing he would regret it.

On the day that he had planned to go to the mansion, he had woken up very early. As Luigi woke up and questioned Mario on why he was up so early, Mario tells him about the abandoned house and teases his brother a bit about his fear of ghosts. Mario then tells his brother that he plans to go to the mansion by himself, much to Luigi's shock. Despite Luigi's attempts to make Mario reconsider, the red plumber is firm on his decision and he tells Luigi that he already told the princess no.

## Relationships

**Luigi**

Luigi is Mario's younger brother. Mario deeply cares about his brother and will do anything he can to ensure his safety, even to the point of sacrificing himself if it means so Luigi can live, as shown in the bad ending routes. At a certain point in the game, if Riba chooses to tell Mario that Luigi came to the mansion to search for him, Mario will be in shock and will do anything he must to reunite with him, as he does not wish to put Luigi through the same experience he's gone through. Choosing to tell the truth as Riba, however, results in a Bad End/Game Over where Mario (or Luigi) will end up killing the other and then committing suicide out of grief. As seen in a few death scenes, when Luigi dies or Mario accidentally kills him like in the scene mentioned above, he's devastated and tends to kill himself right afterwards. This trait is also shown if they get lost in the the Forest of Despair and Luigi hangs himself after getting separated from him, resulting in Mario falling in denial before giving up in despair and hanging himself as well, and in the Sane Route of Mario the Music Box Arc in Marchionne's home, when Luigi goes crazy and tries to kill Mario. If Mario chooses to stay inside instead of trying to open the door and flee, he hits him in the head with a coat rack in self-defense, trying to make him lose consciousness. Unfortunately, he kills him by accident because he hit him with too much force, and after this horrifying realization, he takes his own life. Mario also shows to greatly care about the well-being for his brother. When Mario sacrifices himself in the Omitted Memory ending, his spirit later comes back and erases all of Luigi's memories of him, knowing that the grief of his losing him was too much for Luigi to bear. Throughout the game, Mario comes to learn about how Luigi always felt inferior to him, and he expresses guilt for making Luigi feel that way. This can specifically be seen during the Omitted Memory ending, where Mario tells Luigi he has the chance to be the hero now. And this can be shown in the Insane Route of Arc, during the trial of Envy. Depending on the player's actions, Mario can make peace with Envy by telling him that he only acts brave and confident for everyone else, and then apologizing to Luigi for everything.

**Princess Peach**

While she does not appear throughout the majority of the game, and only in the *Omitted Memory* route, Mario cares for her the same he does with Luigi. He does not wish for her to put her own life at stake. Most of this can be explained at the beginning of the game when he leaves to investigate the mansion on his own, remarking about his concerns for her safety. It is hinted in the game, especially between Marchionne and Aurora's pasts and also during the Lust trial in the Insane Route of Mario the Music Box Arc, that Mario has feelings for Peach. Mario cares greatly about the well-being of Princess Peach and as shown in one of the death scenes in the main game, losing Princess Peach will cause Mario to break down and go insane (this trait is also shown in Arc, where choosing to kill Princess Peach immediately sets the player on the Insane Route).

**Riba**

Riba is a mysterious man with connections with the members that once lived in the mansion, who Mario encounters during his investigation. Mario befriends Riba as he believes the two are trying to achieve the same goal. Riba first is shown to be supportive to Mario, when he helps Mario search for a wooden board long enough to help them cross a large gap behind the mansion. Mario even offers Riba his lantern to help him navigate the dark halls as it can be dangerous to travel through, especially when there are spirits lurking, in which Riba declines since he already knows his way around. Riba even helps Mario by finding something for him to eat when he collapses due to starvation. However, when Mario discovers the truth on Riba's secret, Mario seems to have second thoughts if Riba is really an ally.
In Mario the Music Box Arc, in the Sane Route, Mario is very cautious and fearful of Riba, now fully aware of how cruel, manipulative, and dangerous he is. However in the Insane Route, Mario is more trusting and dependent on Riba, as he is the only other ally he has.
He even shows to trust Riba with his life, as during their pathway to Evangeline, he gives Riba his lantern and allows him to lead him through a forest swarmed with dangerous Lanterns. Additionally, should Riba die at all in the Insane Route, the player will automatically get the Drowned ending where Mario loses hope and ends up attempting suicide via drowning.

Also, in the Insane Route, if Mario shows Riba the green headband, he has flashbacks and almost strangles him to death. In the Countinuance endings 1 and 2, he will betray Mario and kill him: in the former, which happens by not giving him anything, he will first grab Mario by the throat and chokes him to death, then cuts his head off, and in the latter, which happens by only giving the headband to him, he will stab him and leave him to die. However, since he loves apples, he becomes a better person if Mario gives an apple to him, thinking of him as a true friend, and in the Continuance 3 ending, he is full of pain after the plumber dies. Riba also says to Mario that he respects him because he taught him to feel compassion. He also says a few times that he has feelings for him as friends and possibly something more. Also, if Mario talks to Riba in the Hallway of Pride, Alice will talk through him, then Riba lifts him off the ground, as as he and Alice are kissing, this also might mean that Riba is kissing Mario too.

**Alice**

Mario becomes a new host for Alice when she gains possession of his body. When he discovers that it is Alice is the culprit for causing the murders of the members that once lived in the mansion, Mario sees her as his enemy. Despite what she's done, in the True Ending, Mario still forgives her knowing that all she wanted was to be free, and sets her soul free. Mario also promises her that he'll burn the journal, forever burying the true dark past of the mansion, and he does actually honor his word to her. In Mario the Music Box Arc, in both routes, Mario and Alice are constantly at each other's throats. Mario greatly dislikes and still refuses to let her control his body. In the Sane Route, Alice is mostly dormant and simply observing Mario's actions while usually offering suggestions (like attempting to convince Mario to fight back against Luigi when he attempts to kill him). Although in the Insane Route, they surprisingly have a slightly better relationship, with them more or less working as partners. At the end of the Insane Route, Alice (to Mario's surprise) is willing to get out of Mario's body, stop Marchionne from attacking Mario, and allow the red plumber to leave.

**Marchionne**

Marchionne is Mario's ancestor and the ex-leader of Evangeline. Marchionne's interaction with Mario will be different depending on the choice he makes. In the Sane Route, he chooses to help Mario for the majority of the game, such as when he stops Luigi from killing Mario and even gives Mario time to escape by holding Luigi back. Later on, Marchionne also willingly gives Mario his brooch so he could escape, and later convinces Mario not to give up as he's about to die. In the Insane Route, however, he is very sour towards Mario and genuinely wants him to die. Mario at first, is willing to listen to Marchionne and actually kill himself. Later on, however, Mario becomes fed up with Marchionne, even going as far as saying he wishes for him to disappear. Regardless of all the obstacles put in his way or Marchionne's numerous attempts to kill him (example: when Marchionne removed Mario's consciousness from his body, or when Marchionne set up the trials of the seven sins), Mario continues to move forward with determination to live for everyone he's lost, and he tells Marchionne that he refuses to give up, eventually leading Mario to fight his ancestor. In the playthrough for the Continuance 4 ending, Mario will show sympathy for what happened to Marchionne and try to comfort him. Despite seemingly hating Mario in the entire run, it is shown Marchionne's hatred isn't necessarily what it seems. Marchionne tells Mario that he doesn't want Alice to be free to roam the world as his reasoning for removing Mario's consciousness, and also as the reason Marchionne fights Mario in the church. However, in actuality, Marchionne is desperate to be freed from being Len's servant, and he believes only Mario has the power to break the cycle and free them. In the Drown ending, Marchionne freezes time to stop Mario from dying and tries to tell him this. Additionally during the boss fight with Len, if the player dies and gets a game over, Marchionne will briefly appear and encourage Mario to not give up and finally stop Len.

**Luciano**

Mario doesn't truly grow close to Luciano, and their first meeting, Luciano's vengeful spirit will attack and attempt to kill Mario, prompting the plumber to run away in fear. However nonetheless, Mario does express his guilt for what happened to Luciano in the past. Additionally in the Sane Route, when Marchionne and Luciano both finally make peace with each other, Mario takes Luciano's advice to heart and apologizes to Luigi for everything.

**Misery**

Mario's relationship with Misery is dependent on the route the player chooses, although Mario either way does express his guilt for what happened to her. In the Sane Route, Mario is generally on good terms with her. Misery does guide Mario through the pathway in the fireplace, and even saves him when he becomes trapped underground. However, if Mario fails to correctly figure out Aurora's real name, it will greatly upset her. Additionally, if Mario reads her private letter describing her feelings for Marchionne, Misery will become hostile and kill him. In the Insane Route, Misery is immediately hostile with Mario (thinking he's actually Alice in the form of Marchionne) and won't hesitate to kill him, forcing Mario to reluctantly fight her. Upon defeating her, Mario will apologize for being compelled to fight and kill her.

**Helena**

Mario doesn't have a very unique relationship with Helena, although he expresses his annoyance for how she initially toys around with him in their first meeting. However this very quickly turns into fear when he sees how dangerous she is and realizes that she stole his chainsaw (or in the Insane Route, when she just pulls one out). Helena reveals that she's there to collect Misery's necklace from him, but Mario refuses to give it to, prompting the boss battle to start. Mario uses Helena's own traps against her and in the final part of the fight, traps her in a narrowed hallway, causing Helena to die in her own trap. Mario will drop down and shed tears afterwards, feeling a wave of guilt from having to kill Helena. In the Insane Route, if Riba is alive when Mario meets Helena, she will capture him and make a deal with Mario: Riba's life for her ring. It will be up to the player to choose what to do.

**Aria**

Mario ends up encountering Aria in the right wing after he plays a few keys on the piano, and he learns that she had no memory of how she died. Mario agrees to go find her missing piano sheets to help her spirit go to rest.

**Mercy**

Upon encountering Mercy, Mario will throw salt at her. He then expresses his frustration with her for blaming Alice's actions on him and trying to kill him. Afterward, however, Mario will apologize for what he said. Despite Mercy's insistence that Mario is fated to die, Mario refuses to give up and continue going on. In his journal entry, he expresses that he's sorry for what happened to her, but accepts that it is too late to save her.

**Anna**

Mario reacts in horror, to the extent of being on the verge of tears, upon witnessing how Anna brutally murdered her sibling. When talking to Anna, Mario expresses his anger at her for killing Serina out of jealousy, which leads Anna to hitting Mario. Despite his disapproval for what she did, Mario was still willing to forgive Anna when she learned the truth, which causes her to express sincere regret for killing Serina and unintentionally causing Alice to die as a result. In Mario the music box Arc, Anna makes two appearances. One in the hiding room, where she questions and ask if it was really him. The other is briefly during the Envy trial where she reveals that the reason why she spared Mario when he entered the mansion was believing he could free all of the spirits.

**Serina**

While Mario doesn't have a close relationship with her, he expresses his sheer horror upon seeing the flashback of how she died, being so affected to the point of nearly crying. When Mario meets Serina's spirit, he notes that her eyes are completely colorless and like Aria. She didn't remember why she had died, prompting Mario to tell her Anna killed her. Mario does agree to her request to tell Anna that she's sorry for everything, finally allowing Serina's soul to rest properly.

**Len**

Upon encountering Len, Mario is first shocked by the use of her power as she froze Riba in time. However after hearing about Len explain how she gave Marchionne a second chance in the past in exchange for his servitude, Mario becomes angry, believing she tricked him into making that deal and that she has cursed him. As Len tells Mario about the numerous loads and save files he's used every time he's died before, Mario becomes truly saddened to learn that so far, he's been stuck repeating the same days and reliving the same horrifying moments. Eventually Mario becomes determined to break the endless cycle, and declares that he'll destroy Len, which leads to the fight with her. During the aftermath of the battle, Mario tells Len he'll never give up as long as he has hope. Len then proceeds to kill him.In the Wonderland update, Mario becomes very fearful and cautious upon encountering Len for the first time in the forest.

**Toadston**

Mario encounters Toadston in Evangeline, who he recognizes as the missing toad that's disappeared a while ago. Toadston explains to Mario that like him, he's also came to the mansion looking for answers, but only received death. Eventually Toadston offers Mario a pair of special contact lenses, capable of distinguishing friendly ghosts from hostile ghosts. When Mario questions why Toadston is helping, Toadston tells him that he wants Mario to escape and tell Toadston's family that Toadston is truly gone and to not wait for Toadston. Mario promises to inform Toadston's family.

**Princess Daisy**

It is implied Mario and Daisy are good friends. After Mario falls off the cliff and faints from being chased by Riba, Daisy comes across him on her walk and immediately takes him to the hospital.

**Rae**

Mario can only meet Rae in the death scene where he gets trapped in the freezer in the kitchen of the mansion. As he freezes to death, Rae will appear in front of him and call him a useless worm, before telling him to accept his fate.

**Marie**

Mario only encounters Marie during the death scene where he or Riba gets caught by her in the Left Wing. Mario is completely horrified to see her eating Riba, however as he voices his horror and regret for leaving Riba alone, she catches him and eats him as well.

**Ted**

Mario is calm around Ted, upon meeting her in the Silent Forest, since she's a friendly ghost. He expresses his gratitude to her for saving his life from Norma, and later on, Mario gives her bandages for her missing eye.

**Norma**

Upon first encountering her, Mario is extremely cautious and careful to avoid her since she's a red ghost (indicating that she's harmful). However after Mario finds her eyes and gives them to her, Norma turns blue.

**Vittoria**

Mario ends up encountering Vittoria in an unknown residence in Evangeline. Mario is shocked to see that Vittoria was simply a talking mask taking over the dead body of a little girl. He's also shocked and afraid when Vittoria says he finds death beautiful, and enjoys killing. Mario tries to reason with it, but quickly realizes it is just better to run. Vittoria tells him if he manages to escape within 30 seconds, he's free to leave. But if Mario runs out of time, he's locked in forever.

**Other spirits**

Mario is generally shown to be cautious, nervous, scared, and afraid when faced with the other spirits in both the mansion and Evangeline. Mario has shown to somewhat have knowledge on certain spirits, like the Lanterns for example (knowing that they'll kill living beings on sight). After receiving the special lenses from Toadston, Mario is able to visually tell friendly ghosts apart from dangerous hostile ghosts.

**Sündige Nacht**

In Wonderland, Mario ends up encountering the King, Sündige Nacht (who's actually Marchionne). Upon learning of Nacht's motives, Mario at first doesn't believe him at all about Len. Upon learning that the Sündige Nacht unintentionally caused the March Hare's death, Mario rejected his deal for them both to escape together out of fear that Nacht will end up getting Mario killed. This triggers a boss battle with Nacht. Eventually Mario defeats him, and takes his crown. However, like Sündige Nacht, he ends up making the same mistake he did, and became corrupt with a lust for power.

**Rose**

Upon meeting Rose in Wonderland, Mario mistakes her for Princess Peach. Mario seems to enjoy being in her company and feels very safe when he's with her. He can also save his progress when he comes to her.

**Mad Hatter**

Upon meeting him, Mario immediately mistakes him for Luigi. Mario does feel bad for Mad Hatter, however he also makes it clear that he doesn't intend to stay in Wonderland with him. However after realizing how mad and crazy he is, Mario becomes very fearful and terrified of him.

**March Hare**

Upon seeing the March Hare in Mad Hatter's house, he was horrified to see the dead body. Mario hears the spirit of the March Hare beg him to be properly buried, and after hiding from Mad Hatter, he'll go and bury the March Hare's corpse to put his soul to rest.

**White Rabbit**

Upon encountering the White Rabbit in the forest, he mistakes him for Riba. Despite the White Rabbit initially rudely telling Mario to bug off, he later apologizes asks for Mario's help in activating the bridge, which Mario was willing to do. From here the two then appear to be on good terms. If the player chooses to pet his head, he will later repay the favor by petting Mario's head after he helps him.

**Alice (Wonderland)**

Similar to the main game, Mario and Alice are on bad terms. Alice chooses to place the blame of the king's murder on Mario (despite many hints that Alice might be responsible). Mario however refuses to take the blame for a crime he didn't commit, and he tells Alice he'll prove his innocence.

## Deaths

For a list of deaths that Mario can receive, see them here.
