**Mario** is a major antagonist in the *Five Nights at Sonic's* series.

He is the secondary antagonist of *Five Nights at Sonic's*, a major antagonist in *Five Nights at Sonic's 2*, a posthumous antagonist *Five Nights at Sonic's 3*, the secondary antagonist of *Five Nights at Sonic's 4*, *Five Nights at Sonic's: Maniac Mania* and *Maniac Mania Plus*, and one of the deuteragonists of the upcoming platforming game *RockClones: Dr. Golden's Attack!*.

Mario was created as one of the four clones to entertain in the first *Sonic's Hero Pizza Palace* location constructed in 2015. However, due to Dr. Eggman tampering with the cloning machines, he becomes aggressive at night and attacks the security guard.

He was previously voiced by Universal Foxes and Unsafermirror2, and is currently voiced by NodOff, who also voiced Toy Mario.

## Appearance

Mario appears identical to his classic counterpart, with the exception of bunny ears on his head to mimic the carrot powerup from *Super Mario Land 2*. His newest design also features a blue cape and red bowtie based off his appearance from the cover of *Super Mario All-Stars*. When he turns aggressive at night, his eyes become black with glowing-red pupils, and he also gains sharp teeth.

Withered Mario's upper face is gone, exposing his skull with blood leaking out from it. He has numerous cuts and blemishes all over his body on the rips of his clothing, aswell as his right arm being missing. His blue cape is also missing. He also has black eyes with red dots for pupils.

Phantom Mario appears identical to his original appearance from *FNaS 1*, except with a monochrome texture, grayscale coloring, and a ghost-like texture on him, red-glowing eyes and white slits for pupils. His teeth are more human-like and crooked. He's also lost his blue cape, aqnd his left ear is bent.

Nightmare Mario is overall darker than his original appearances, with his mustache being more pointed and rich, and the white circle surrounding the menacing initial "**M**" on his hat being gray, while his skin is more likel yellowish. His gloves are black, concealing sharp claws and his boots (more specifically shoes) have spikes on the bottom. His dark green ears on his partially torn hat are bent and pointy, and he has black eyes with large red lines for irises. He also gains sharp teeth with slight blood on them, and his pointy overalls lack yellow buttons.

## Biography

24 years after the closure of *Sonic's Fast Food Diner*, an obscure company decided to revive the brand by re-newing it as *Sonic's Hero Pizza Palace*. Sonic had the help of Mario, Yoshi and Tails to be additional characters by being cloned. Upon stepping in the cloning machine, Dr. Eggman walked into the room and tampered with the cloning machine, giving the clones aggressive characteristics. Later that year the location was shut down and the clones were left to rot. During this time, for unknown reasons, Yoshi became so frustrated with Mario that she slammed his face on a stove, burning his face and melting through until his skull was visible. Mario's arm also became infected, and too prevent the infection from spreading, it was cut off, due to the fact that they couldn't heal him with their limited resources. Two years later the clones were shipped to a new location with animatronics, however that location was also closed down.

Mario and his friends were sent to a storage unit and remained there until 2027. One night Mario woke up to find Sonic not on the show stage. He wandered through the location until Eggman revealed himself and stabbed Mario, killing him. Mario, Yoshi and Tails appeared as spirits to confront Eggman, who was with Salvage Sonic. Eggman attempted to use Salvage Sonic to attack the spirits of his friends, but Salvage Sonic stabbed and killed Eggman instead. When Salvage Sonic was shipped to a new location, the spirits of Mario, Yoshi and Tails followed, haunting the location at night until the place burned down.

A year later, Salvage Sonic had found the first location where he and the clones were created, and used the cloning machine to create new, nightmarish bodies for his friends' spirits to inhabit. The group of nightmare clones attempted to kill Luigi, who had previously escaped their grasp in the first location, but were unable to kill him and were captured by authorities, who restored the clones to their original selves.

## Behavior

### Five Nights at Sonic's

Alongside Yoshi, Mario is the first character to move, starting on the Show Stage and moving to the Dining Area. Mario can also enter the Backroom and the Supply Closet in the left hallway. Mario will go to the office through the left hallway and wait until he can be seen in the blindspots of the doors. Once the player can see him, they must shut the door to prevent him from getting in and he will leave. Failure to do so will result in the door becoming jammed and Mario jumpscaring the player when they use the monitor system while the door is jammed.

### Five Nights at Sonic's 2

Withered Mario will start in the Parts/Service Room and make his way down the Main Hallway to your office. Despite appearing in the main hallway, Mario will instead enter the office through the left airvent. Once he appears in the office, the player must throw on the mask to make Withered Mario leave, otherwise he will kill the player.

### Five Nights at Sonic's 3

Phantom Mario occasionally appears behind the office window and will walk across in front of the player. If the player doesn't flip up the monitor or the maintenance panel, Phantom Mario will disappear and reappear in the office to jumpscare the player, causing the ventilation to malfunction and a bit of power to drain.

### Five Nights at Sonic's 4

Starting from the Left Hallway, Nightmare Mario is the first character to attack the player on Night 1, alongside Nightmare Yoshi. Nightmare Mario will appear in the left hallway when approaching the office. If the player hears his audio of breathing, they must hide under the desk and wait for him to pass by the office. The player will be killed by Nightmare Mario if they flash the light on him when he's at the door or if the player is too slow to hide from him.

### Five Nights at Sonic's: Maniac Mania

Mario will start on the Show Stage before making his way towards the office through the left hallway and appear in the left doorway once the player shines the light on him. Once Mario appears in the blindspot of the doorway, the player must close the door on him to make him go away. Failure to close the door in time will result in the door becoming jammed and Mario killing the player next time they use the monitor while he jams the door.

Withered Mario will start in the backstage and make his way towards the office through the left hallway and to the doorway, similar to Mario (although he doesn't appear in the blindspot of the doorway. In *Maniac Mania Plus*, he does appear at the blindspot of the doorway). However, closing the door will prevent Withered Mario from coming into the office. Unlike Mario, he will not leave without fending him off with the mask. If he appears in the office, the player must throw on the mask to get him out, otherwise he will kill the player.

Phantom Mario will occasionally appear walking down the right window hallway. The player must either use the mask to freeze him in place or keep the monitor up to prevent him from jumpscaring them and walk down the hallway. Failure to do so will result in Phantom Mario ducking beneath the window and jumpscaring the player, causing the ventilation to malfunction and some of the power to drain.

Nightmare Mario will start on the Nightmare Stage and will take a path to the office through the left hallway and to the left doorway. Once he's at the blindspot of the doorwway, he will emit a static-like noise (more like breathing) and reveal his glowing-red eyes, which the player must close the door on to make him leave, or else he will kill the player. Nightmare Mario will also kill the player if they shine the light on him while he is in the doorway.
