There Will Be Brawl/Characters

"Matt Key (Luigi): "People wanna watch 'there will be brawl' because it's the entire Nintendo universe fighting. I mean, is way beyond the Mario Brothers, I mean, by end of the series we will have like 50 different characters that have made small little cameos parts in there, and that's..."

Paul Duraso (Mario): "That's what you always wanted as a kid. To play Mario and Zelda.""

- There Will Be Brawl: On Set

A Character sheet for the cast of the Deconstructive Affectionate Parody that is There Will Be Brawl. Now, we know that almost the entire cast is Darker and Edgier and many of them give away several Mythology Gags, so let's give those for granted already.

Now let's get rolling.

Luigi Mario
""It will not be a Melee. It will be a Brawl.""

Mario's younger brother, a good man going through bad times, doing what he got to do. Secretly a drug dealer working with his not-friend Wario and some other not-so-noble activities, but he will still do what is right when it's needed.


 * Badass Longcoat: Never seen without it.
 * Batter Up
 * Deal with the Devil: Makes a bargain with for information.
 * Dramatic Shattering: In Episode 3. Yes, he does care for the Kingdom.
 * The Gwen Stacy:
 * Heroic BSOD:  Who can blame him, when it basically means all he's been fighting for was worth nothing.
 * Nice Hat
 * Impressive Pyrotechnics: Oh, boy!
 * My Greatest Failure: Failing to save
 * Private Eye Monologue: Through the entire series.
 * Seeker Archetype
 * Shut UP, Hannibal: *punch* "I've had enough of your head games!"
 * The Stoic: Not that much, but there's certainly some degree of it.
 * Verbal-a Tic
 * Verbal-a Tic

Mario Mario
""Alone? There are two Super Mario Brothers.""

It's-a me, Mario! But not the same anymore. Our well known hero here has fallen into infamy and apparent depression. No longer a plumber, failed as a doctor, he nowadays resorts to drinking to drown his problems, but when Peach is kidnapped again, after falling at the bottom for a while, he got back up like never before, determined to rescue her.

"Mario: "It is always-a Bowser!""
 * Anti-Hero: Type IV. He'll fight for the Mushroom Kingdom, but is very prone to violence and anger.
 * A Day in the Limelight: Episode eight is pretty much all about him.
 * Ax Crazy: Sometimes his fits of rage go too far.
 * Badass: One of the best examples of the series. Especially during the finale.
 * Berserk Button: Never call Mario a plumber. Wario finds this out the hard way.
 * Big Damn Heroes:.
 * Bring My Red Jacket: Always wears his signature red shirt, and constantly gets into bloody fights.
 * Drop the Hammer:
 * Drowning My Sorrows: He spends most of the series as an alcoholic,
 * Fallen Hero: How he starts.
 * General Ripper
 * General Ripper

"Luigi: "Bro, you're playing with fire!" Mario: "The Super Mario Brothers are used to playing with fire!""
 * Limit Break:
 * Playing with Fire: Comes with Fire Flower in one scene . And if that wasn't enough:

"Mario: "And you know me! If I can't do it myself... I will raise a fucking army!""
 * Rebel Leader: When attacking the police station.


 * And even moreso in the final episode.
 * Rousing Speech: To
 * Supporting Leader

Princess Peach
""One child. No matter how far we fall, we are never past redemption as long as we can hear the laughter of one child.""

Still the princess of the Mushroom Kingdom, Peach is having a hard time dealing with the newly corrupt city, while her relationship with Mario is attempted to keep secret, yet it's causing her troubles.

"Peach: "Pull yourself the fuck together, Luigi.""
 * Everything's Better with Princesses
 * Damsel in Distress: Never out of it, it seems.
 * Get a Hold of Yourself, Man!:
 * Get a Hold of Yourself, Man!:


 * Nice Crown
 * Paper-Thin Disguise: When she's visiting Mario and trying not to attract attention, her disguise consists of dark glasses and a hoodie... over her usual flowing pink gown, with her crown still on her head. The trope is subverted in that Wario does see right through her disguise.
 * Princesses Prefer Pink
 * Pimped-Out Dress: Which is pink.
 * Royals Who Actually Do Something: And how. She's pretty much the only form of authority keeping the city from completely falling apart.

Samus Aran
""Lucky for you, girls on my line of work have all sorts of contacts.""

A popular stripper that uses her job to get plenty of information. Luigi recurs to her when seeking leads in his search for the princess, and from there onward she's been tagging along in his fight to save the kingdom.


 * Bifurcated Weapon: Her Pistol-Laser-Whip
 * Faux Action Girl: Considering how Badass she's supposed to be, she didn't show much of it, sadly.
 * Somewhat subverted at the end. It isn't much, but she got a Big Damn Heroes moment.
 * Hooker with a Heart of Gold
 * Les Yay: With Barbara the Bat no less.
 * Ms. Fanservice: Oh, yeah!
 * Spy Catsuit: Technically it would be a Latex Space Suit, but let's be honest, that's not the case here.
 * Victoria's Secret Compartment
 * Spy Catsuit: Technically it would be a Latex Space Suit, but let's be honest, that's not the case here.
 * Victoria's Secret Compartment

Red
""So, was I any good?""

A young Pokemon Trainer of an innocent and generous personality. He's possibly the only untarnished good guy of the entire cast.


 * Cheerful Child
 * Children Are Innocent
 * Dark Reprise: Done twice.
 * First serving for background music for.
 * The second,
 * Mons: Of course, if he has to do something for a fight, he'll do it with his Pokemon.
 * Morality Pet: Somewhat to Luigi;
 * Red Herring:
 * Red Herring:


 * Tagalong Kid
 * Wide-Eyed Idealist / The Pollyanna: At first, his sunny disposition is strong enough to make him overlook his blatantly bad surroundings, such as insisting that the Pokemon fights are just them "playing a little rough sometimes" and, in episode six, acting completely oblivious to the seriousness of the situation when he's . However, he does have his occasional moments where he gains awareness of the situation while impressively not losing his purity or innocence, such as in episode nine, when

Pit
Star of Tingle's Gay Bar and Captain Falcon's personal bitch. As for himself, Pit is mostly innocent, yet not really heroic. He gets involved in the problems of Mario and Luigi, but remains mostly neutral about the situation.


 * Ho Yay: The Twink/Uke in a Flamboyant Gay relationship with Captain Falcon
 * The Load: He starts out mostly useless, slowing down Luigi and company.
 * Non-Action Guy: He doesn't seem to have any combat skills.
 * Tagalong Kid
 * Tagalong Kid

Captain Falcon
""Come back sometime. Maybe... show me your moves.""

The one in charge of Tingle's Gay Bar when the boss is out. Like his little boyfriend, Pit, he prefers to stay away from the conflicts arising around the city, but won't doubt to raise his legendary fist in order to rescue Pit when necessary.


 * Big Damn Heroes: His indisputable Crowning Moment of Awesome.
 * Heroic Neutral
 * Ho Yay: Seme in a Flamboyant Gay relationship with Pit.
 * In the Name of the Moon: His lines and delivery leading up to the epic Falcon Punch would do Sanger Zonvolt proud.
 * Large Ham: "FALCOOOOOON "PAAAAWWNCH!"
 * Manly Gay/Macho Camp: He is still a total badass, but at the same time is also a flamboyant leatherdaddy toting an ascot.

Link
""None of us are the heroes we're supposed to be.""

Chief of the Mushroom Kingdom police department, and quite aware of how cynical he has become. He's willing to do what he has to in order to employ the law and bring down the mafia groups, regardless of what it takes.

"Link: "SHUT THE FUCK UP, NAVI!!""
 * The Archer: An element of his arsenal are his Silver Arrows.
 * Children Are Innocent: Realizing that this trope used to apply to him when he was Young Link/Toon Link, he tries
 * Composite Character: Of Regular Link, Young Link and Toon Link. Probably of every other Link in existance as well.
 * Da Chief
 * Frickin' Laser Beams: The sword beam attack used in the original games.
 * Hero Antagonist: This more or less defines his role. He's genuinely a good cop, but never realizes that he was a pawn of Ganon
 * I Can Still Fight:
 * I Need a Freaking Drink
 * Knight in Sour Armor
 * Luckily, My Shield Will Protect Me: From fire!
 * Stop Helping Me!:
 * Stop Helping Me!:


 * He also visibly groans whenever Navi talks. The final episode subtly implied that he even
 * Ah, not exactly.
 * Well, Excuse Me, Princess!: Couldn't have been better placed.

Zelda
""We'll rule this kingdom together!""

Former princess of Hyrule, a nation that has fallen and been absorbed into Mushroom Kingdom. She works for the police, either as an Office Lady as Zelda, or as a secret agent as Sheik. However, it seems that her ambitions go too far...


 * Blondes Are Evil: Or at least, conflicted.
 * Heel Face Revolving Door: Damn...
 * Lady Drunk
 * Ninja: As Sheik.
 * Office Lady: As Zelda.
 * Sweet Polly Oliver: Take a guess.
 * Teleportation
 * Sweet Polly Oliver: Take a guess.
 * Teleportation

Marth & Ike
A couple (yes, in the romantic sense too) of officers working under Link's command at the police department. They pass out as mostly formal, but aren't really too nice. A flashback implies Marth's partner was Roy, before his death.

"Ike: "You'll get no sympathy from me.""
 * Adaptation Dye Job: Ike is given black hair, likely to differentiate him from Marth, though it's shoulder length and straight rather than spiky.
 * Dual-Wielding:
 * Enemy Mine:
 * Ho Yay
 * Police Brutality
 * Red Oni, Blue Oni: Surprisingly, as opposed to their personalities in game, Marth's Red to Ike's Blue. Though they're mostly quiet, Marth comes across as much more hateful and merciless, openly mocking how much the Mario Brothers have fallen and even spitting at disgust at Luigi, who only wanted to help. . Though just as arrogant, Ike seems to be less cruel and more dutiful. He also seems to be more sympathetic (despite his infamous quote), as he actually saves Luigi from getting shot by Falco, and actually reluctantly chooses to let Luigi go, prompting Luigi to come back and attempt to save him from Snake.
 * No Sympathy:

 * No Sympathy:


 * Straight Gay
 * Those Two Guys

Saki and Isaac
Following  and during Marth's Character Development, these two were promoted to regulars.


 * Jerkass: Even to their allies
 * OC Stand In: Like most of the characters, Isaac acts nothing like he does canonically, going from a noble silent warrior to a cruel and sadistic police officer. Especially since he is a minor character, and does not gain the justification behind their newer natures like more major characters (like Link and Boswer), with whom we get to learn what caused them to change so.
 * Screams Like a Little Girl: both of them
 * Those Two Guys
 * Those Two Guys

Meta Knight
""I'll be here... watching.""

A... whatever he is, working for the Police Department for only one reason: Watch over Kirby.


 * Badass
 * Glowing Eyes of Doom
 * Talking to Yourself: He and Kirby are both played by one of the series' creators, Matthew Mercer.
 * The Only One Allowed to Defeat You: He's been waiting a long time for an opportunity to fight Kirby to the death.
 * The Only One Allowed to Defeat You: He's been waiting a long time for an opportunity to fight Kirby to the death.

Wario
""Information sells high these days.""

Sells drugs and engages in other unethical activities. Wario was working under Mewtwo's command until the mafia don was killed. Wario is potentially the most unlikable character in the series for how much of a jerk he is, and how willing he seems to be to backstab anyone as long as it benefits him.

Played by Kyle Hebert. Yes, really.

"Wario: I've never been a proud man...."
 * Chronic Backstabbing Disorder: He'll switch sides as soon as it benefits his own interests.
 * Dirty Coward: In episode 10, he either snivelishly backpedals when talking to or flat-out runs away on three separate occasions--from Luigi, Mario, and Leaf.

"Kyle Hebert: "Is he... evil to the core? Mh... depends on how much money there is to gain.""
 * Jerkass: Almost (but not totally) impossible to sympathize with him.
 * Large Ham: And admit it, you love it!
 * The Mole
 * Money, Dear Boy: In the words of his actor:


 * Nightmare Fetishist: He seems to... enjoy... describing the Gorn that happens around him.
 * Pet the Dog: His only good trait seems to be the fact that he looks after mentally handicapped brother, Waluigi. But...
 * Kick the Dog: It could actually be considered crossing the Moral Event Horizon when Waluigi is used to

Waluigi
""Tennis?""

Wario's mentally disabled brother. Wario doesn't treat Wa very well, keeping him locked in a pen most of the time, but the fact that he looks after Wa at all is his sole redeeming quality.


 * Adult Child
 * Children Are Innocent: Well, mentally he's a child, anyway.
 * Hey, It's That Guy!: Waluigi is played by the same actor who plays Vork in The Guild.
 * Morality Pet:
 * Mythology Gag: Most of Wa's lines are Shout Outs to the Mario spin-off titles he's appeared in.

Ice Climbers
Those Two Bad Guys working under Wario, and one of the most prominent examples of how far the Darker and Edgier setting has gone. They never speak, but you really wouldn't like to share a word with them.


 * Ax Crazy
 * Chaotic Stupid: Is it a really a good idea to smack your brother on the head with your hammer in the middle of a battle and knock him out? No, but Nana did it anyway. Because she's evil and wanted to take Marth on mano-a-mano (AKA, Marth was duel weilding his and Ike's swords, so she wanted a second weapon).
 * Cold-Blooded Torture: They are in charge of delivering it, and enjoy it way too much...
 * Drop the Hammer
 * Pink Girl, Blue Boy
 * Licking The Hammer: Nana.

Yoshi
Used to be Mario's pet until he had to sell him and two other Yoshis to Wario for financial problem, after failing his medical practice. Yoshi seems to have grown aggressive and feral under Wario's watch. Still, when confronted by Mario, as he puts it, Yoshi remembers who the real Alpha Dog is.


 * : *sniff*
 * Cool Horse: Well, cool dinosaur.
 * Defeat Means Friendship: Mario literally knocks him back to his senses.
 * Everything's Better with Dinosaurs
 * Team Pet

Kirby, "The Coral Cannibal"
""Only I can lead you to your butcher.""

Forget everything you ever knew about the cute and lovable Nintendo character here, because this Kirby is a walking Homage to Hannibal "The Cannibal" Lecter. He was the monster who raised terror in the Mushroom Kingdom six years before the beginning of the series, until Mario and Luigi managed to stop and imprison him.

"Any Viewer:"
 * American Kirby Is Hardcore: Doesn't even begin to describe this...
 * Darkest Hour:
 * Darkest Hour:


 * Even Evil Has Standards: Subverted, (because this Kirby has no redeeming qualities), but as a Shout-Out to The Silence of the Lambs, Kirby behaves defensively over Peach when another inmate offends her while she was visiting him.
 * Devour the Dragon:
 * Hannibal Lecture: Given the influences, this was inevitable.
 * I'm a Humanitarian
 * : Yet another trait he takes from Hannibal Lecter.
 * Manipulative Bastard: To a nightmarish degree.
 * Mind Screw:
 * To the fans:
 * Well, honestly, anyone who has seen The Silence of the Lambs shouldn't be surprised with this.
 * Slasher Smile: He's good at these.
 * Slasher Smile: He's good at these.

King Dedede
""The last thing this city needs is more bloodshed.""

One of the four mafia dons, and the most likable around the kingdom, having gained popularity among both the poor and the rich. He runs a whorehouse and is somewhat unfriendly when dealing with people, but despite his position, he wishes for the arising crisis to end.


 * Even Evil Has Standards: He may be a Mafia boss, but honestly wishes to put control on the city.
 * The Hedonist
 * Reasonable Authority Figure
 * Slouch of Villainy

Ganondorf
""Your kingdom will know its new ruler. And if it doesn't, it will burn.""

Another of the mafia mobs, still resenting the Old Shame that was the fall of Hyrule, mostly due to the fact the kingdom fell due to a bad economy rather than his minions and magic. He plans to take over Mushroom Kingdom, manipulating everyone he can in order to get his way.


 * Evil Sorcerer
 * Evil Plan: He has a big one.
 * Enemy Mine: With whoever helps him get what he wants, including Luigi,
 * You Have Outlived Your Usefulness
 * Even Evil Has Standards: Sort of. Though he's certainly evil, Ganondorf seems to actively look down on due to the fact they're Complete Monsters, doing things For the Evulz. That, and he really got fired up talking about Hyrule as a kingdom of chivalry and heroism where men lived and died by the sword. Like most people in the series Ganondorf preferred the Glory Days.
 * Fridge Brilliance:
 * Hannibal Lecture: Though he doesn't do it as often (or as well) as Kirby.
 * Hijacked by Ganon: HA!
 * In the finale,
 * Kubrick Stare: Does this to Pit.
 * Large Ham
 * Manipulative Bastard
 * Mind Screw: His favorite tool for making people do what he wants.
 * Take Over The Mushroom Kingdom: He makes no secret of this fact.
 * Teleportation
 * Take Over The Mushroom Kingdom: He makes no secret of this fact.
 * Teleportation
 * Teleportation

Bowser
""Those were the good days, weren't they?""

One of the four mafia dons and Mario's Arch Enemy, but as he says to, days like these are no longer fit for old fashion brawlers like Mario and him, so he has grown apathetic, losing interest in villainy. Now he only cares about enforcing order among the Koopas.

"Bowser:"
 * Affably Evil
 * Anti-Villain: Surprisingly enough.
 * Badass: Oh, undoubtedly.
 * Better to Die Than Be Killed
 * Breath Weapon
 * Buddhism
 * Evil Sounds Deep: Well, not so much evil.


 * : Despite having gone spiritual, Mario is totally and utterly convinced that Bowser is behind Peach's kidnapping (and also assumed he was the Cannibal before it was revealed to be Kirby).
 * One-Scene Wonder
 * Red Herring:
 * Taking You with Me
 * One trophy for the scripwritter, please.
 * Did you have to say trophy?

Mewtwo
One of the four mob bosses who run the Mushroom City's streets--until his untimely death. The police found his internal organs stuffed into a Pokeball. Ouch. Mewtwo was apparently a ruthless mafia don who nonetheless cared for his fellow Pokemon.


 * Loners Are Freaks: According to Wario, Mewtwo spent almost all of his time in solitude.
 * Mythology Gag: Just like he did in the games you could catch him in; he is in solitude at the bottom of Cerulean Cave.
 * Man of Wealth and Taste: He's shown wearing a white suit/black tie/sunglasses combo (a Shout-Out to a piece of Fan Art the creators took a shine to).
 * Posthumous Character
 * Psychic Powers: Not that they did him any good.
 * Wicked Cultured: The series implies this.
 * Posthumous Character
 * Psychic Powers: Not that they did him any good.
 * Wicked Cultured: The series implies this.

Donkey Kong & Diddy Kong
They first appeared kidnapping Luigi for Ganondorf, and later as bouncers in Dedede's bar covering the whorehouse.


 * Jerkass: They don't seem to be much beyond this here.
 * The Rival: Donkey Kong still holds a harsh relationship with Mario even today.
 * Unknown Rival: Diddy to Mario later in the series.

Fox, Falco & Wolf
""Wave of future! Everyone having one!" (Regarding Landmasters)"

Three bandits wandering around the dark alleys. They easily scream trouble from a mile away.

"Ike: The decrees of the Council are not to be debated with scum like you. Fox: (mocking) Fancy words, from piglet. Ike: Hold your tongue, furry."
 * Berserk Button


 * Dual-Wielding: It's hard to see, but
 * Enemy Mine:
 * Back-to-Back Badasses
 * Eye Scream:
 * Guns Akimbo: see Dual-Wielding.
 * Impaled with Extreme Prejudice:
 * Libation for the Dead
 * Ray Gun: All three use their blasters from the games.
 * Taking the Bullet:
 * Terrible Trio
 * The Other Darrin: Falco is actually played by a different actor in Episode 8 with his original voice dubbed over.

Snake & Sonic
""Showtime!""

Both Canon Immigrants appear depicted as homeless and crippled, surviving however they can around dark alleys, and seem to be look after one another in order to survive any hardship that comes their way.


 * Back Stab: Snake attempted this on Ike, in a possible reference to the fact that one of the earliest screenshots of the game showed Snake grabbing Ike by behind.
 * Canon Immigrant
 * Companion Cube: Snake seems too affective with his box.
 * Handicapped Badass: Being in a wheelchair doesn't seem to stop Sonic from giving his part when the time to fight comes.
 * Take That: Neither are portrayed in a very positive light.
 * Those Two Guys

Captain Olimar
""We must have... sacrifice!""

Known as "End of Days", and damn insane. His actions and lines are the creepiest, his motives incomprehensible. If he's present, expect something nasty to happen.


 * Ax Crazy
 * Bald of Evil
 * Beard of Evil
 * Cult: He's raising one.
 * Companion Cube: The Sandbag and ROB.
 * Cryptic Conversation: When Luigi meets him, Olimar babbles on at him with seemingly meaningless nonsense and doomsday cliches.
 * Mass Hypnosis
 * Madness Mantra: Blood... Begets BLOOD!
 * His mantra is also enough to drive desperate people nuts.
 * His mantra is also enough to drive desperate people nuts.

Mr. Game & Watch
Usually black (but also seen of other colors) 2-dimensional beings seen around the Mushroom Kingdom, usually in minor roles. It's unclear if they're separate beings or if they share a Hive Mind.


 * Have We Met?: You'll find him everywhere.
 * Have We Met?: You'll find him everywhere.

Ness and Lucas
""Hehehe...""

Two little kids seen around the alley at one point, serving as Luigi's inspiration for going on fighting. Their role is a little expanded for some of the scenes of the finale, but they are pretty much background characters.


 * Awesome McCoolname: Not in-universe, but Ness's actor is named Tibet Axelrod, how awesome is he gonna be.
 * Batter Up: Ness carries his trademark baseball bat around.
 * Children Are Innocent:
 * Psychic Powers: Specifically of the Mind Over Matter kind.
 * The Voiceless: They have no speaking lines, only giggles. It's rather sweet...
 * Psychic Powers: Specifically of the Mind Over Matter kind.
 * The Voiceless: They have no speaking lines, only giggles. It's rather sweet...

 * The Voiceless: They have no speaking lines, only giggles. It's rather sweet...

Lakitu
""Fuck it, we'll do it live!""

The popular Koopa anchorman of Channel 8 News, Lakitu hasn't given up his ties to the mafia. He uses his position to influence public opinion against the Mario Brothers.


 * Kent Brockman News
 * Mister Exposition
 * No Celebrities Were Harmed: Lakitu bears a not-coincidental resemblance to Bill O'Reilly.
 * Smug Snake
 * Ted Baxter
