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 Rocked

 * 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.
 * 4) His voice acting is pretty good and memorable.
 * 5) 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.
 * 6) Despite acting mean sometimes, he does actually care for others around him. He even cares for Jeffy and Rosalina, despite them often treating Mario poorly and being complete idiots. He decided to adopt Jeffy, showing that he does care for him deep down, he just has a hard time showing it in an extremely relatable and understandable way.
 * 7) * 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.
 * 8) There are a handful of times where he cares about Jeffy, like in "Jeffy's Parents" and "Zombie Jeffy".
 * 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.
 * 13) Just like Bowser Junior, His puppet design, despite looking like a generic stressed dad, is passable enough seeing as his puppet design still seems to resemble him in a way and it does fit his current role in the series.
 * 14) Logan does an excellent job voicing him.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) Sometimes, he can be a greedy cheapskate for no reason.
 * 2) He and Chef Pee Pee slowly became the show's punching bag as it went on.
 * 3) He was somewhat flanderized in 2016 as he was becoming a bit of a punching bag before fully getting flanderized in 2017 as he became an even more of a punching bag than he already was in 2016 and lets people walk over him for the most part, and as the years progressed he became greedy and lazy for no reason, particularly in 2020 was his worst years where he was it most unlikable. Like Junior and Goodman though, he can still be considered fairly enjoyable depending on your POV.
 * 4) Alongside being flanderized, he was also made to be quite stupid at times.
 * 5) * In "Drawing Jeffy" he confuses Jeffy and Drawing Jeffy together multiple times, despite them not looking very much alike.
 * 6) * 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?
 * 7) * 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.
 * 8) * In "Mario Sells Jeffy", he thinks Rosalina will fall for his fake Jeffys, despite them not looking like Jeffy.
 * 9) * 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.
 * 10) * In “Jeffy's Lunch Money”, he is even more gullible than usual, where Black Yoshi would continually fool 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.
