**Mario** is a mysterious human who fights against the Mavericks.

## Appearance

Mario is a human with a red shirt and blue overalls. He wears a red cap with an "M" on it. He also has blue eyes, brown shows, a brown mustache, and white gloves.

## Personality

While Mario is usually shown to be friendly, he is easy to anger, having gotten mad at Zero for considering him weak and getting made at Luigi for the fact that Zero escaped.

## History

Virtually nothing is known about Mario's past, except for that he is brothers with Luigi and friends with Sonic and Shadow. He also fought against the Mavericks alongside them.

Eventually, Sonic found an abandoned building that had activity inside it, believing that whoever was leading the Mavericks was inside. Mario followed Sonic there, breaking in and confronting Zero. However, Mario was knocked out by Zero's Genmu Zero, along with Sonic and Shadow. Zero then left.

Mario was healed by one of Luigi's Mushrooms. Once he got back up, he asked Luigi where Zero went. Luigi said that Zero escaped, making Mario angry enough to hit him. Sonic asked Mario what he was doing, but he was too angry to care and fought Luigi. However, Shadow, now infected with the Zero Virus, knocked out all three of them and prepared to kill them, only to be knocked out by Mega Man X. Mario got up and apologized, before healing himself with a Mushroom. X believed he knew what was wrong with Shadow, and, after some discussion with Alia, brought Mario and his friends to Maverick Hunter Base, where they became B-Rank Maverick Hunters.

Mario and his friends later battled against robots known as OVER-R, OVER-B, OVER-Z, and OVER-D, defeating them.

Eventually, Mario and his friends teamed up with the 0th Unit and Aile for the final battle against Zero, winning and ending the Mavericks.

## Skills

### Physicality

Mario is shown to be athletic, being able to easily jump around. He was fast enough to block a Z-Buster shot from Zero. Mario is also fairly strong, being able to punch Zero across a room. Lastly, Mario is durable enough to survive Zero's Shin Messenkou and a strike from Luigi's Ultra Hammer.

Mario's agility allows him to perform a rising uppercut known as the **Super Jump Punch**, which causes coins to fly out of his target. He can, alternatively, perform the **Explosive Punch**, which creates an explosion. He can also spin around to perform the **Mario Tornado**.

### Items

Mario carries several items to help himself when fighting. However, extensive damage can cause these items to lose their effects.

Mario also carries other items for battle. His **Ultra Hammer** is a yellow hammer that could easily knock a Nightmare Zero across a room. Assuming it's the same as Luigi's, it can also break down doors. He also carries the **Red Shell**, **Troopa Shell** and **Lazy Shell** to kick at enemies.

### Firebrand

**Firebrand** is an ability that allows Mario to throw bouncing orange fireballs. He can throw **Fast Fireballs** that ignore gravity and travel farther and faster, but are also weaker, or **Fire Orbs** that travel slower and not as far, but ignore gravity and are stronger. He can also perform **Mario Finale** to throw a giant fireball.

## Trivia

* Bulborb channel 3 doesn't know why he included Mario.
