Line 132:
* [[Implied Love Interest]]: Princess Peach.
* [[Informed Flaw]]: Mario is sometimes described as being impulsive, the sort of guy who dives into things without thinking. However, because he's usually a silent protagonist type, this almost never comes across, outside of the implication that he dives head first into saving people without much of a plan. However, in ''Super Mario Odyssey'', {{spoiler|his tendency to do things without thinking manages to get the better of him, for once, when he gets caught up in trying to one-up Bowser's affections for Peach, after Bowser butts in on his proposal to her. This, in turn, causes Peach to get annoyed with both of them, and she puts her foot down.}}
* [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold]]: If [https://web.archive.org/web/20130708184642/http://www.joystiq.com/2011/02/07/mario-sports-mix-press-conference-reveals-marios-dreams-and-a/ ''Mario Sports Mix's'' promotional press conference] and [[Dialogue Tree|some dialogue options]] from ''[[Fortune Street]]'' are anything to believe, Mario ''can'' be a bit of a dick with his popularity. [[It's All About Me|He sees no problem with stealing Yoshi's cookies]] [[Narcissist|and nonchalantly telling him he did so while pretending to help him find them]], and his big brother teasing towards Luigi can get rather cruel sometimes (in the aforementioned press conference, Mario dismisses Luigi's pleas to be in the spotlight by telling the interviewer that this was just being taken out of context and that Luigi ''loves'' being his sidekick). However, Mario still manages to be a heroic and friendly individual who goes out of his way to help anyone he meets, even [[Big Bad|Bowser]].
* [[Keet]]: In modern games, he happily whoops and squeals with every step. Even if he's jumping across boiling lava pits. Contrast with Luigi, who has a more serious tone.
* [[Let's Get Dangerous]]: Mario's a goofy, happy-go-lucky, friendly guy. He doesn't seem very threatening, but if you dare to hurt an innocent person, you'll see just what a force of nature a good and serious Mario can be.
