Mario is a mysterious Pokemon player who seems to live in the Hoenn region but travels between regions. She is champion-level but her actual goals are uncertain, if not unknown. Mario is powerful but kind, as she has extremely powerful Pokemon even amongst champions, but willingly and seemingly infinitely shares her resources with other players with little to no incentive. She travels mainly between Sinnoh, Hoenn, and Unova, and has caught Legendary Pokemon from every region.

Mario is of average height and weight, being about 4'8" (as of age 10) and 83.8 pounds (as of age 10). She has noticably large and strong calf muscles. Mario has long, straight brown hair and blue eyes much like May does. She wear mostly May's clothes in everyday settings complete with a red bandana or a red hat but also often wears a blue bathing suit. In Sinnoh and Unova she wears clothes mimicing the player character, and compliments it with metal shoulder blades to make herself look more masculine. She also has a Giratina-shaped storage case which she keeps her Pokemon Platinum game cartridge among a few other things in, this storage is situated on her left arm. She also often weara a platinum chain necklace with an Action Replay on it, which she uses as a Key Stone to Mega Evolve her Pokemon. Mario lastly has a noticable bulge in her left ribcage near the bottom.

Mario has no definite type specialty, but has mentioned liking Dragon and Water type Pokemon the best. Her favorite Pokemon is Giratina, and it seems her least favorite Pokemon is Wobbuffet. She likes a balance of cute and cool Pokemon, but uses her powerful Pokemon in battles and cute Pokemon mostly in contests, the main exception being her infamous Piplup. She has conquered every Pokemon league, every Battle Tower, and even the Champion's tournament at the Unova PWT. Despite her favorite Pokemon being Giratina, her most-used Pokemon in plathroughs is Raichu, and her most-used competitive Pokemon is Gyarados. Much like N, Mario is able to talk to Pokemon and understand their feelings.

Mario has friendly rivalry with fellow Champions Cynthia, Steven, and Iris. She has an unfriendly rivalry with Brendan for no apparent reason. Mario is also a member of a secret blackened Catholic Church, a church that idealizes holy libertarianism.

Mario has too many favorite teams to list on this page; we'll list some of her famous Championship teams and then list all her favorites below. (Champion teams derived from Hall of Fame rematches while in training) This team's tougher than Steven's team by a wide margin, you can probably see why Mario is Champion. Raichu is weak to Ground, but use Steelix to avoid being destroyed by Iron Tail (and pray Focus Punch doesn't hit you), Swampert is quad weak to Grass, and Flygon to Ice. Metagross will go down to a strong Fire attack but be careful of its Earthquake. Latias is hard to take down; instead of relying solely on Ice, weaken it with the Pokemon you used to beat Flygon, then finish it with a good Shadow Ball. Kyogre looks intimidating but you can smash it with a Pikachu's Volt Tackle (preferrably boosted by a Light Ball) to make an easy win before it starts boosting and doing serious damage. Once again, deal with Raichu with your best Ground type. A Rock-type can deal with Articuno and Charizard easily while Gyarados shouldn't be a threat at all because of its special moveset and bad Special attack. Dragonite can be dealt with using an Ice type. Be sure to beat Dewgong before it uses Sheer Cold. This is hard; the only reliable way to defeat Suicune is a One-Hit-KO move. Latias with Shadow Ball Choice Band Metagross, Mew with raw power. Rayquaza can be defeated by an Ice Beam but honestly just use Kyogre and not a real Ice Type so Overheat can't do too much damage. Team finish Kyogre, and throw your Master Ball to snag Shadow Lugia. What a difficult battle. The weird thing about Mario's Diamond team is that while her favorites are mostly Dragon and Water, she only has one Dragon and one Water type on this team and in fact it looks like a Steel specialist team. This team has an obvious Ground weakness, though use a Fire type for Abomasnow. A Pokemon with high defenses and a Rock-type move can defeat Crobat. Empoleon's Hydro Cannon is extremely powerful and will crush anything it hits, so exploit its recharge turn as revengefully as possible. She finally gets some proper Water and Dragon types in Pearl :) (this is also the only Generation IV game she plays as Dawn). Earthquake can make life miserable for your Ground-types so use Grass-types instead. Use Dialga to counter Palkia (or a really fast Garchomp) for best results. You'll want an Ice-type such as Weavile to take on Garchomp--if you don't manage to take out Garchomp using its 4x weakness to ice, you can use your Sinnoh legend for this. A Water/Ground-type is ideal for this battle. There are several Pokemon on this team weak to Ground, and several weak to Water. Piplup is not dead weight like it looks; don't be tempted to try Rayquaza on it for the lols because it WILL OHKO your Rayquaza with Blizzard! Don't let Froslass boost too much or those Double Teams will start to annoy. Giratina is the strongest Pokemon on this team, so give it everything you've got! You should honestly just hack in Wondertomb to beat this team. It's that ludicrous.

Other interests:

Outside of Pokemon, Mario has interests in exploration, art, and mythology. She has an unusual combination of liking Christan and metal music; her favorite artists are Black Sabbath, DragonForce, Disturbed, Matt Maher, and Johnny Cash. She likes architecture, technology, swimming, hiking, and religion. She strongly dislikes politics. She also likes Beyblade, Super Mario, Pitfall, Minecraft, Ski Safari, Nyan Cat, and many other different things. Her favorite book is the Westing Game but she also likes the Humphrey series.

Trivia:


 * Mario is ambidextrious; she can use her right and left hands nearly equally well for different purposes. Her left hand is noticeably physically stronger but her right is more precise.
 * Mario never wears a basic ponytail hairstyle and is instead always wearing May's style (or hiding her hair under her hat)
 * Mario's name is a combination of "Super Mario", "May", and "Ryuga".
 * This makes sense as Mario's top favorite (Non-Japanese) Beyblade is L-Drago Guardian D125B.
 * Mario's Diamond and Pearl teams are drastically different from each other, while she uses her Sapphire team across Generation III Hoenn.
 * Mario's Diamond and Pearl teams have several oddities
 * Her Diamond team has more Steel types than Dragon or Water. While her Pearl team has multiple Ground types, it's more clearly a Water team.
 * Her Pearl team has a Floatzel but no Gastrodon, when she likes Gastrodon better. (This may be due to type overlap with Quagsire)
 * She has an evolved Empoleon on her Diamond team but an unevolved Piplup on her Pearl team.
 * Her ace is drastically different between all of her Generation IV teams.
 * She doesn't use Manaphy in Diamond despite first having the egg transferred to Diamond, instead using Manaphy in Platinum.
 * Mario has several similarities with May:
 * Both have similar clothing and physical traits
 * Both are from Hoenn
 * Both have an Eevee that evolves later into Glaceon
 * Both like chocolate and sweets a lot
 * They started out not liking Pokemon and only wanted to travel, but then grew to love Pokemon.
 * Both became the best in Hoenn at something; Mario became champion but May got great with contests
 * Mario is the only person in the world:
 * Who likes Jynx
 * Whose top favorite genres of music are Christian and heavy metal
 * Whose exact combination of top 3 favorite Pokemon games are Sapphire, Platinum, and Black 2
 * Who likes UltraSun and UltraMoon
 * Whose exact top 2 favorite types are Dragon and Water, with Ice, Steel, and Fire following in the list
 * Who is willing to battle hacked Pokemon with legitimate or legal ones

Rumors

Mario is rumored to be secretly the leader of Team MCPE13, an evil team dedicated to liberating Pokemon from copyright laws. This would make sense because of the similar story to what happened with N and Team Plasma. Mario fits a similar puppet leader role to what N did and it would make sense especially given Mario can talk to Pokemon as if they were people. However, as this rumor is unconfirmed, please presume Mario innocent until and unless proven guilty.
