  Mario - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mario is a plumber motivated by a sense of justice, though at times he has been depicted as a doctor and numerous other professions.
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 Party 4 - Gamecube
With simple gameplay, an emphasis on multiplayer, and a format suitable for a quick get-together, Mario Party and its two sequels were instant hits, with each new game in the series improving greatly upon the last.
Mario Party 4 could have been put into heavy rotation in my GameCube lineup, but as it stands, it’s basically reduced to a novelty.
If you haven’t, then Mario Party 4 might be worth a rental (or even a purchase if you have at least three people ready to play at any given time), but be prepared to dust off your N64 if you want to see what the series really has to offer.

 RedAssedBaboon.com - Game Reviews   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
Given this, Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door, is conscious of its roots and the expectations the player has going into the game, and the substance of its story (and occasionally its gameplay as well) revolves around the games ability to play with them.
The initial game in the series (a collaboration between Nintendo and Squaresoft) took an angle that stressed seamlessly integrating the gameplay of the Mario series into its battle system and incorporating various series nostalgia against the backdrop of an original (if somewhat cliché storyline).
The result is a game that manages to take the already well-implemented gameplay of the Mario series in RPG form and set it against a countertype of the kind of story the player would expect from a Mario game.

 IGN: Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time Review
But even with that influence the designers have injected a ton of originality into the story, situations, and gameplay for its own series, and the first true sequel, Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time, expand on the previous game with some enormously clever elements that wouldn't be possible without the Nintendo DS system's dual-screen layout.
The original Mario & Luigi is a role-playing spin-off series in the same vein as Super Mario RPG on the Super NES and the Paper Mario series established on the N64 and continued on the GameCube.
Like all good RPG designs, Mario & Luigi is part exploration, part puzzle solving, and part turn-based battling, but the Mario franchise works so well in an RPG genre because the designers stick to many of the elements that make Mario, well, Mario.
