Mario bros

**Mario bros** are group of own family that work in canalises

**Mario** is the main character and protagonist of the long-running and highly successful *Mario* franchise. He was created by Japanese video game designer Shigeru Miyamoto and also serves as the main mascot of Nintendo. Mario made his first appearance as the protagonist of the arcade game *Donkey Kong*, released in 1981. Since *Super Mario Bros.*, his trademark abilities have been his jumping and stomping powers, with which he defeats most of his enemies; and his ability to gain powers with a plethora of items, such as the Super Mushroom, Fire Flower and the Super Star. Games have usually portrayed Mario as a silent character without a distinct personality (*Fortune Street* is a notable exception). According to Nintendo's philosophy, this allows Mario to fit in many different genres and roles. In most games, he is the hero that goes on an adventure to save Princess Peach from Bowser, but he has been shown doing many other activities besides adventuring, such as racing and sporting with his younger twin brother and others.

**Luigi** (Japanese: ルイージ, *Ruīji*) is Mario's younger and taller twin brother. He is a major protagonist of the *Mario* franchise. Luigi has helped and fought alongside his brother on many occasions. Throughout his life, he has lived in Mario's shadow, developing both cowardly and heroic tendencies. *Mario Bros.* marks his first appearance in the *Mario* series and his debut in general. Originally a palette swap of Mario, Luigi was created to facilitate a second player option. Since the two-player mode was dropped from most main *Super Mario* games beginning with *Super Mario Land*, Luigi has gained his own identity and personality. This is especially noticeable in installments for the *Luigi's Mansion* series of games, as well as the *Mario & Luigi*series.

**Wario** (Japanese: ワリオ, *Wario*) is a recurring character in the *Mario* series. He is an obese, muscular, hot-tempered, and greedy man, and Mario's yellow-and-purple clad arch-rival. He usually appears as an antagonist, or in some cases an anti-hero. His name is a combination of Mario's name and the Japanese word *warui* (悪い), meaning "bad".

Wario's greed pushes him to commit malevolent acts, such as the seizing of Mario's castle. Wario has also proven to be very cunning as he has tricked Mario on many occasions. He often goes out on his own adventures, from stealing treasure to running a microgame making company. Wario has helped heroes of the Mushroom Kingdom on a few separate occasions as well.

**Waluigi** (Japanese: ワルイージ, *Waruīji*) is Luigi's very tall and skinny rival, and Wario's partner. Waluigi made his debut in *Mario Tennis*, and since then, he has made playable appearances exclusively in *Mario* franchise's spin-off titles. He has been voiced by Charles Martinet ever since his debut. His name is a portmanteau of the Japanese words, *Warui* and *Ruīji*, meaning "bad" and "Luigi". In addition, his name is an anagram to the Japanese word *Ijiwaru*, which can mean "ill-tempered" or "cruel".

The details of Waluigi's past are unclear since he has no confirmed background, although he has evidently been antagonizing the Mario Bros., especially Luigi, for quite some time before his debut as seen in the opening of *Mario Tennis*, where he and Luigi confront each other. He has a particularly strong rivalry with Luigi, who he constantly harasses, but he apparently has animosity toward most others in the Mushroom Kingdom, except for his brother, Wario.
