 | | Mario's full name is believed to be Mario Mario, due to him and Luigi frequently being referred to as the "Mario Bros." According to creator Shigeru Miyamoto, the licensed film, and the television series, their surname is indeed Mario, but this issue is rarely dealt with in official Nintendo materials. |
 | | Mario's major rival was Sega mascot Sonic the Hedgehog who debuted in the early 1990s; the two mascots competed head-to-head for nearly a decade afterward, until around 2001 when a Sonic game showed up on a Nintendo console due to Sega's new third party status, ending a lengthy rivalry. |
 | | Mario, when hitting a box that doesn't contain a Feather, gains the ability to float like the Balloon power-up from Super Mario World, Luigi gained the exclusive ability to use the ability once held by the Vanish Cap, and Wario gained the exclusive ability to use the ability once held by the Metal Cap. |
