This is a list of various fictional and recurring characters who appear in the Mario series of video games created by Nintendo, as well as spin-off media, such as books, comics, and animated series.

Protagonists

Mario

Luigi

Princess Peach

Princess Daisy

Princess Daisy ( デイジー姫 , Deijī-hime ? ) is the princess of Sarasaland. Daisy's debut appearance was in 1989 in Super Mario Land , where she was kidnapped by the tyrannical alien Tatanga, who planned to marry her and rule over her kingdom. Daisy appeared later in NES Open Tournament Golf as Luigi's caddy. After a long hiatus, Daisy made her return in the game Mario Tennis , after which she began making recurring appearances in Mario sports and party games. Daisy is best friends with Princess Peach, and is also rumored (among the characters of the Mario universe) to be in a romantic relationship with Luigi. As of Mario Kart Wii , this relationship seems to have been made canon, with statues on the Daisy Circuit course depicting the two characters dancing with each other. She also appears in both Mario Kart DS and Mario Kart Wii as an unlockable character. She is a playable character in every Mario Party game except for Mario Party , Mario Party 2 , and Mario Party Advance . The infant version of herself, Baby Daisy, debuted in Mario Kart Wii , as an unlockable character, and appears in Mario Super Sluggers .

Daisy has dark brown hair and wears a yellow and orange dress with two orange pieces of cloth, a golden crown with a flower on it, and wrist-length gloves. She originally had orange hair when she made her debut, and wore a yellow and white dress with a white sash and a red crown prior to Mario Party 4 , and her skin was tan during the Nintendo 64 era.

Daisy's first voice actress was Kate Fleming in Mario Tennis for the Nintendo 64. Daisy's next voice actress was Jen Taylor, who provided her voice in Mario Party 3 , Mario Party 4 , and Mario Party 5 . In every other game, Daisy has been and is currently voiced by Deanna Mustard. Outside of the video games, Daisy appears as one of the main characters in the Super Mario Bros. 1993 film, played by Samantha Mathis. She also appears in the comic books. Her emblem is a daisy. She also appears as a alternate costume for Peach in Super Smash Bros. Brawl and she has a sticker and a trophy.

Professor E. Gadd

Professor Elvin Gadd ( Professor Oya Mā ( オヤ・マー博士 , Oya Mā Hakase ? ) in Japan), more commonly known as E. Gadd, is a scientist who, with his various inventions, helps Mario and his friends. In Japan, he is named after Nintendo game designer Yoshiyuki Oyama. He first appears in Luigi's Mansion , in which he investigates the mansion that mysteriously appeared by his house. To help him study the ghosts in the mansion, he uses the "Poltergust 3000", a high-powered vacuum cleaner that can be used to suck in and capture ghosts, and the "Game Boy Horror", an invention for tracking and detecting objects, such as boos. He lends it to Luigi, and helps him on his quest. It is also a kart in Mario Kart DS. Other major inventions include his F.L.U.D.D. --a Flash Liquidizer Ultra Dousing Device--and Magic Brush used in Super Mario Sunshine . In Mario Party 6 , E. Gadd is featured on a party board called E. Gadd's Garage. He later appears in Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time where he creates a time-traveling machine. He also makes brief appearances in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga with various inventions as rewards for making bean coffees at the Starbean Cafe.

Pauline

Pauline ( ポリーン , Porīn ? ) is the woman whom Mario must rescue from Donkey Kong in the original Donkey Kong . In the same way Mario was originally called "Jumpman," Pauline was simply referred to as Lady ( レディ , Redi ? ) in Japan. It was during the game's distribution in North America that she was given the name Pauline after Polly James, the wife of Nintendo of America's warehouse manager, Don James. Pauline later appeared in Family Basic and in Pinball for the Nintendo Entertainment System. Princess Peach, who was introduced in Super Mario Bros. , took Pauline's place as damsel in distress in that game, eventually becoming Mario's primary romantic interest in most of the subsequent games in the series.

Pauline did not appear in another game until the 1994 Game Boy version of Donkey Kong , where she was once again taken captive by Donkey Kong and his son. Whereas the original arcade game's cabinet depicts Pauline with blond hair, the Game Boy remake features a redesigned modern Pauline as a brunette, distinguishing her from the blond-haired Peach, wearing a red dress with a torn skirt. This version of Pauline makes an appearance in Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis for the Nintendo DS, where she appears as the guest of honor in the opening of the Super Mini-Mario World theme park.

Toad

Toadette

Toadette ( キノピコ , Kinopiko ? ) is a female Toad who appears as a playable character in various Mario spin-off games (such as the Mario Party and Mario Kart series). She first appeared as Toad's partner in Mario Kart: Double Dash!! as a hidden character, and later appeared in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door as an instructor when Mario received upgraded boots and hammers. Since Mario Party 6 she has made regular appearances in the Mario Party series as a playable character, with the exception of the handheld games, where she acts as a NPC. The official Mario Kart Wii guide suggests that she is Toad's sister.

Other playable appearances include Mario Superstar Baseball and Mario Kart Wii ; in both titles, she must be unlocked. She is voiced by Jen Taylor in most of her appearances, however in Mario Party 8 , she is voiced by Nicole Mills. She appeared in Dance Dance Revolution Mario Mix as the owner of a hotel Mario and Toad must rebuild; she is voiced by Jennifer Hale in this game. She also made a cameo appearance in the beginning of Super Mario Galaxy .

Toadsworth

Toadsworth ( キノじい , Kinojii ? ) , is an elderly Toad and Princess Peach's longtime steward, first appearing in Super Mario Sunshine , when he comes along with Princess Peach and Mario to Isle Delfino. In Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga , makes a brief appearance in the beginning of the game where he presents Mario and Luigi with a suitcase, he accompanies Princess Peach on her trip to Rogueport during Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door , he keeps Princess Peach very close to him, but ends up losing her. In Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time , he is with Mario and Luigi when Princess Peach takes an experimental trip back in time.

Toadsworth makes a cameo appearance in Mario Kart: Double Dash!! whenever a player wins a cup, in Mario Party 7 , he appears as a host of the boards. He finally becomes playable in Mario Superstar Baseball and Mario Super Sluggers on Peach's team. Toadsworth is voiced by Charles Martinet, the same voice of Mario and Luigi.

Yoshi

Donkey Kong

Donkey Kong Jr.

Antagonists

Birdo

Birdo , known in Japan as Catherine ( キャサリン , Kyasarin ? ) , is an enemy to Mario and playable character in various games. Birdo first appeared in the Japanese game Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic and the remade Super Mario Bros. 2 as a recurring boss, misnamed "Ostro" (which is really the ostrich enemy; the game labels Ostro as Birdo and vice versa; this has been corrected in Super Mario Advance ). Birdo later appeared in Wario's Woods as an ally of Toad, Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars as a boss character, and in Mario & Luig
