Mario (SuperMarioLogan, pre-2017)

Mario Mario (or Marvin and Mario Wilfred), or just simply Mario, is the main protagonist of the SuperMarioLogan series.

Why He Rocks

 * 1) He is a very sympathetic and relatable character as he tries his best to do nice things to others, but it feels like everyone pushes it away and it feels like nobody likes him.
 * 2) He may be lazy and greedy, yet a very sympathetic and funny personality can make him relate to others who go through the same thing he does. And he also manages to put those traits into good use for the most part.
 * 3) He is one of the most memorable characters in the series, mostly owing to his former adventurous and free-spirited personality, actually somewhat reminiscent of a more grounded take on his Nintendo counterpart.
 * 4) His voice acting is pretty good and memorable.
 * 5) He has interesting skills and traits whenever an episode focuses on him, his different interactions and dynamics with characters like Bowser, Black Yoshi, Shrek, and Mama Luigi are pretty interesting and entertaining to watch as he is able to play off of their quirks well.
 * 6) While he isn't intended to be a funny character, he does still have a handful of humorous and good moments that can make the viewers chuckle.
 * 7) Despite acting mean sometimes, he does actually care for others around him. He even cares for Jeffy and Rose, despite them often treating Mario poorly and being complete idiots. It is also implied he cares about Jeffy deep down, he just has a hard time showing it in an extremely relatable and understandable way.
 * 8) *He's also proven to be more caring than Bowser, as Mario does try to at least punish Jeffy for good reasons unlike Bowser, who disciplines his son the wrong way.
 * 9) He does have fair points when Jeffy doing something wrong, annoying, or idiotic for the most part.
 * 10) He along with Chef Pee Pee are one of the most sympathetic and relatable characters in the series.
 * 11) Unlike Bowser, he pays attention to his son a lot more than Rosalina really does.
 * 12) Though most of the characters like Rosalina, Jeffy, and sometimes Brooklyn T Guy, Bowser Junior, and Bowser seem to often show rudeness to him, Mario tries his best to ignore them and tries to be himself. Much to the point that characters such as Chef Pee Pee still find something good in him.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) Sometimes, due to how his character is designed to play off other characters as mentioned above, he can be somewhat boring/flat, especially if he's in a scene on his own.
 * 2) He and Chef Pee Pee slowly became the show's punching bag as it went on.
 * 3) He was flanderized in 2016 as he became even more of a punching bag as he already is and lets people walk over him for the most part. Most of the time he is greedy and lazy for no reason. Thankfully, his likability and sympathy still live inside of him. However, his Flanderization hit new lows in 2020 as his greediness is cranked up to eleven. Most notably in "Scooter's Parents" and "Mario Sells Jeffy".
 * 4) *Like Junior and Goodman though, he can still be considered a fairly enjoyable character depending on your POV.
 * 5) Even before 2017, he has a few uncharacteristically psychotic actions; arguably the most notable being "The Hitman" where he hires a hitman to kill Jeffy, who was 12 at the time, simply for wasting Cheerios.
 * 6) Alongside being flanderized, he was also made to be quite stupid at times.
 * 7) * In "Drawing Jeffy" he confuses Jeffy and Drawing Jeffy together multiple times, despite them not looking very much alike.
 * 8) * In "The Mustache Problem" he thinks Brooklyn Guy is a completely different person all because he doesn't have a mustache. He has a recognizable voice, doesn't he?
 * 9) * In "Jeffy's Big Mess", he thinks Jeffy died due to a skeleton prop on the couch, completely forgetting that it takes years for a dead person to become a skeleton.
 * 10) * In "Mario Sells Jeffy", he thinks Rosalina will fall for his fake Jeffys, despite them not looking like Jeffy.
 * 11) * In “Jeffy Skips School”, he falls for Jeffy's trick of disguising Mario's grandpa as Jeffy himself just for wearing the same clothes and barely any differences (much to the point that Brooklyn T. Guy points out the flaws in his credulity; especially where he wears similar clothes to see if Mario was that stupid), and “Jeffy The Monkey”, he along with Rosalina thought that Jeffy turned into a monkey where Jeffy got the monkey to act like him so he would skip school.
 * 12) * In “Jeffy's Lunch Money”, he is even more gullible than usual, where Black Yoshi would continually fooling him a lot and much to the point that Brooklyn T. Guy points this out to him and gets back at Black Yoshi for his underhanded shenanigans.

Trivia

 * Mario is normally portrayed by Logan, but in Super Mario Got Milk (2017) and Jeffy's BIG Easter!, he is portrayed by Tito Jimenez, and in Jeffy's Switcheroo! he is portrayed by Lance due to Jeffy and Mario switching bodies.
 * From 2012 to 2015, Mario lost his status as the main star due to Bowser Junior appearing in many more episodes than Mario and his friends. This created the term "SuperBowserJuniorLogan" by a critic, which debuted in Bowser Junior's Macaroni. However as of 2016 since Jeffy started appearing in videos, Mario has appeared in more episodes compared to Junior and therefore has regained his status as the main star somewhat, but he is still overshadowed by Jeffy, hence why critics now refer to the channel as "SuperJeffyLogan".
 * Mario is the first and oldest character of SML, debuting in Super Mario Got Milk.
 * Mario was a diabetic, as revealed in Bowser's Dinner Date.
 * His new name is Marvin and he is shown to dislike that name.
