* [[spoiler: BadassTransplant]]: As revealed in Part 2, [[spoiler: The reason Gemini has his powers is because of Smithy transplanting a demonic heart into his body]]

* DeadpanSnarker
* [[spoiler: DemonicPossession]]: This very nearly happens in Part 2 [[spoiler: After a combination of the demonic heart and his own rage allows the heart to start consuming his very being.]]

* [[spoiler: LivingBattery]]: According to [[spoiler: Smithy]], Gemini was intended to be one of these.

* [[spoiler: OneWingedAngel]]: A heroic version [[spoiler: almost]] happens in Part 2 [[spoiler: See DemonicPossession above]]

* CloudCuckooLander: Had a few moments of this in Part 1, but this is taken UpToEleven in Part 2. Subverted though as it is revealed that the increase in goofy behavior was all an act to help him avert his focus away from his own problems.

* BadassMustache

* {{Adorkable}}

* FrickinLaserBeams

--> "You don't know? It's-a me, Mario!" Said to Joe Dark right before he [[{{CrowningMomentOfAwesome}} PERMANENTLY DESTROYS HIS SWORD]]

* BadassPrincess: Like E. Gadd above, she is one of the few people that aren't unhinged by fear during the Dark King's assault on the planet.
** BadassinDistress: Like usual, when Bowser kidnaps her while Mario and the others are busy at the Lightning Palace

* OnlySaneMan: Bears the burden of this role during the Dark King's magical assault, where she tries with all of her might to stop her people from panicking.

* {{Elemental Powers}}: His Thunderhand, still fresh from MarioAndLuigi.

* TookALevelInBadass: While this might get overlooked due to an overall lack of focus, but Mallow has one of the better tracks records when it comes to the battles he is in. He always plays smart, manages to pull his allies out of tight situations, and in general is a lot braver compared to before. It should also be noted that he doesn't take much damage during fights, and it is only when he fights Smithy's true form that he actually finds himself struggling. Plus, as of Part 2, he can perform [[Franchise/{{TalesSeries}} INDIGNATION]] of all spells.

* [[spoiler: DarkIsNotEvil]]: [[spoiler: Despite his SuperMode (See Below) having an appearance similar to a [[{{MarioParty}} Ztar]], Geno is one of the nicest guys you could ever come across.]]

The seven celestial beings from ''VideoGame/PaperMario64'' that are responsible for governing Plit from Star Haven. They also guard the Star Rod and the [[{{MarioParty}} Dream Depot]]. They appear in Part 1 after some concern is brought because of the journey that Mario and the others are going on. They send their herald Geno down to assist them, and continue to watch from above. They are later responsible for [[spoiler: powering up Mario and the others for battle against Joe Dark, and then getting the energy in the Star Rod necessary for healing Alex Whiter.]] Unfortunately, their later action got them in trouble with the [[spoiler: higher-ups]] and thus they were forced to surrender their position of power over to Geno and Twink for a few years.

* {{Badass}}: Though he doesn't really engage in direct combat, [[spoiler: the fact that he is one of the few people on Plit not succumbing to panic when the Dark King's magic starts wreaking havoc across the lands definitely qualifies him for this trope.]]

* {{Badass}}:

* {{Badass}}
** BackToBackBadasses: With Driad in Part 2.

* {{Badass}}
** BadassBoast: To the Subspace Army in Movie 1:

** BadassCreed: Which he only utters when fighting someone one-on-one:

** [[spoiler: BadassTransplant]]: As revealed in Part 2, [[spoiler: The reason Gemini has his powers is because of Smithy transplanting a demonic heart into his body]]
** FourStarBadass: He IS the Lieutenant of the M.S.I., and is stated in-story to be [[spoiler: Alpha's]] second-in-command.

* {{Badass}}
** BadassCape
** BadassArmfold

!![[spoiler:[[{{KingdomHearts}} The Heartless]]]]

* BerserkButton: He really doesn't like remembering that he was once [[{{SuperPaperMario}} Mr. L]], and Dimentio keeps calling him by that name in order to edge him on.

In Movie 1, a lot more information about Gemini's past comes to light. [[spoiler: Not only does he hail from Koopa Village, but he was once friends with [[{{PaperMario64}} Kooper]], who also made the red scarf he wears daily. His true name is also revealed.]] Over the course of this story, Gemini fends off a light Subspace force at Beanbean Kingdom and later helps the villagers in [[spoiler: his hometown]] ward off the Subspace Army's assault.

* HiddenDepths: On the outside, he is brave if sometimes a bit cowardly, but in line with the games and as Dimentio points out, He has an incredible amount of jealousy built up within him because of his brother's fame and something of an inferiority complex that manifested itself as the [[{{SuperSmashBros}} "Negative]] [[{{RealityWarper}} Zone"]] which at the same time made him compatible with the Chaos Heart.

* DistressedDamsel: Luckily, this only happens once throughout the story.

* OperaGloves
* StatuesqueStunner

* GenreSavvy: Though she isn't the first to realize that something is up with Cackletta's revival, she takes action against these suspicions by alerting Rosalina to come to the planet and defend it if things get out of control.

Mallow is the famous cloud Prince from SuperMarioRPG who lives in Nimbus Land after Mario helped him return there during their last adventure. Having become an accomplished mage, Mallow joins up with Mario and friends when their journey takes them into the clouds to go to the third temple. His spells prove useful during battles. Unfortunately, we can't really say much about Mallow in Part 1 besides this [[{{OutOfFocus}} because of a rather obvious trope.]] Though it should be noted that, His Genesis Samurai opponent was Tina Aqua.

Geno is the star herald from SuperMarioRPG and is notable for being [[{{EnsembleDarkhorse}} one of the most popular characters in the entire Mario franchise]]. As in the game he originated from he inhabits the wooden doll with the blue cape for battle. In Part 1, his first appearance is when he appears before his elders the Star Spirits and is assigned to assist Mario and the others in their quest. A couple chapters after that, he [[spoiler: appears and takes down Joe Dark with ease]], reacquainting himself with his old friends Mallow and Mario afterwards and becoming a welcome addition to the group. As the story unfolds, it is revealed that, [[spoiler: Geno's starry body was created by the Elemental Overlord as a peace offering to the Star Spirits, he witnessed the events that left Driad without his memories and outer guardian form, and once knew the Genesis Samurais before they entered the Origin Temple. His Genesis Samurai opponent is Ezekial Gaia, and unlike the others fighting against Joe Dark he proves to be instrumental in his defeat, sacrificing his physical body so his friend Driad can live and then convincing the Star Spirits to use the Star Rod in conjunction with the hopes and wishes of the people to heal Alex so he can combat the Dark King. After the battle he has become the new overseer of Star Haven and the planet alongside Twink, and is this forced to not have as much contact with Plit as he did before.]]

** BackToBackBadasses: With Luigi in Part 2
** BigBadassWolf

* FriendToAllLivingThings: Part of the reason the trip through the Osagi Woods doesn't end in disaster for Mario and Alex is because Driad is friendly with pretty much all the creatures in the woods, especially the wolves. Turns out, there is a pretty good reason for that second one.

* NerdGlasses

A character sheet for the FanFic/ClashoftheElements fic series.

* HairofGold

* TookALevelInBadass: While this might get overlooked due to an overall lack of focus, but Mallow has one of the better tracks records when it comes to the battles he is in. He always plays smart, manages to pull his allies out of tight situations, and in general is a lot braver compared to before. It should also be noted that he doesn't take much damage during fights, and it is only when he fights Smithy's true form that he actually finds himself struggling. Plus, as of Part 2, he can perform [[{{TalesSeries}} INDIGNATION]] of all spells.

* BlueEyes

* BlueEyes

Mario's Brother and the infamous man in green. At the start of the story Luigi is absent due to being in Sarassaland with Princess Daisy, but comes back to the Mushroom Kingdom to join up with his brother after a call from E. Gadd. Having now become brave for unknown reasons, he helps the heroes in collecting the Elemental Stones. It is later revealed that his bravery [[spoiler: Is something of an act that he is putting on because he wants to be able to have Daisy believe that he can be worthy of having her. His Genesis Samurai opponent is Cecilia Frost, and he loses like the rest of the heroes against Joe Dark later on.]]

In Movie 1, he helps Mario fight off the [[spoiler: Subspace Army]] in Toad Town, and joins him in entering [[spoiler: Subspace, where he is transported to the remains of the Great Maze by Tabuu.]]

In Part 2, Luigi's battle against [[spoiler: Dimentio]] is renewed as the [[spoiler: jester]] sets his sights on him to finish what they started long ago. At the same time, he has to deal with who he once was before, coming to terms with the identity of [[spoiler: Mr. L in order to bring Dimentio down for good.]]

* BerserkButton: He really doesn't like remembering that he was once [[spoiler: [[{{SuperPaperMario}} Mr. L]]]], and [[spoiler: Dimentio]] keeps calling him by that name in order to edge him on.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: [[spoiler: As Dimentio reveals, in the future Luigi basically goes batshit insane after a Shroob Invasion kills a pregnant Daisy, and not only stops the invasion by himself, but pretty much hijacks the Shroob Mothership and kills every hero in the Mushroom Kingdom, along with HIS OWN BROTHER. However, this whole thing is subverted because Dimentio's story turned out to be a lie.]]

* ChosenOne: As revealed in Part 2, while Luigi was [[spoiler: the chosen one of the Dark Prognosticus]], in the end this extended further out in the sense that [[spoiler: DIMENTIO chose him to fulfill the role of the chosen one.]]

* HiddenDepths: On the outside, he is brave if sometimes a bit cowardly, but in line with the games and as [[spoiler: Dimentio]] points out, [[spoiler: He has an incredible amount of jealousy built up within him because of his brother's fame and something of an inferiority complex that manifested itself as the [[{{SuperSmashBros}} "Negative]] [[{{RealityWarper}} Zone"]] which at the same time made him compatible with the Chaos Heart.]]

* OneManArmy: Both the [[spoiler: Subspace Army]] and [[spoiler: Dimentio's clones]] learn this the hard way.
* [[spoiler: SuperMode]]: [[spoiler: Zeo Luigi]]
* [[spoiler: TomatoInTheMirror]]: [[spoiler: Subverted. Despite the stories, Luigi is NOT going to become Dimentio in any future...Until this turns out to be DoubleSubverted via WordofGod]]
* WouldntHitAGirl: Comes across this problem against [[spoiler: Cecilia Frost]]. Luckily, he gets over it rather quickly.

Having become an accomplished mage, Mallow joins up with Mario and friends when their journey takes them into the clouds to go to the third temple. His spells prove useful during battles. Unfortunately, we can't really say much about Mallow in Part 1 besides this [[{{OutOfFocus}} because of a rather obvious trope.]] Though it should be noted that, [[spoiler: His Genesis Samurai opponent was Tina Aqua.]]

In Movie 1, Mallow helps Mario and Luigi fighting the Subspace Army in Toad Toad, and afterwards helps, [[spoiler: Bowser hold off Pandora.]]

In Part 2, Mallow finally gets an increase in importance when he is assigned by Alex to help Gemini fight [[spoiler: Smithy and his army.]] During their journey through the [[spoiler: factory after Mallow destroys the upgraded Exor]], the cloud Prince tries to bond with the Lieutenant, which proves to be an important point later on [[spoiler: In helping Gemini conquer his demonic heart before he loses control.]] As of current, both Gemini and him are [[spoiler: Trapped in Smithy's Factory with no way to return.]]

* [[spoiler: GetAholdOfYourselfMan]]: To [[spoiler: Gemini in Part 2]]

* ShockAndAwe: Shocker, Thunderbolt, [[spoiler: Indignation]]

* [[spoiler: SuperMode]]: [[spoiler: Sage Mallow]]
* TookALevelInBadass: While this might get overlooked due to an overall lack of focus, but Mallow has one of the better tracks records when it comes to the battles he is in. He always plays smart, manages to pull his allies out of tight situations, and in general is a lot braver compared to before. It should also be noted that he doesn't take much damage during fights, and it is only when he fights [[spoiler: Smithy's true form]] that he actually finds himself struggling. Plus, as of Part 2, [[spoiler: he can perform [[{{TalesSeries}} INDIGNATION]] of all spells.]]

** PlayingWithFire: Since this story follows the RPGs as canon, Mario primarily uses the Firehand from ''Superstar Saga'' to fulfill this trope.

[[spoiler: She is partially responsible for Rosalina's arrival on Plit, since she sensed the dissent in the air after first meeting Mario and Alex during the journey, and she used as a hostage by Bowser near the end of the quest so he can acquire the Elemental Stones for himself. Later on, when the Dark King threatens the stability of the planet, she braves the danger to try and help rally the people's hopes back up.]]

* BadassPrincess: [[spoiler: Like E. Gadd above, she is one of the few people that aren't unhinged by fear during the Dark King's assault on the planet.]]
** BadassinDistress: Like usual, when [[spoiler: Bowser kidnaps her while Mario and the others are busy at the Lightning Palace]]

* GenreSavvy: Though she isn't the first to realize that something is up with Cackletta's revival, she takes action against these suspicions by alerting [[spoiler: Rosalina]] to come to the planet and defend it if things get out of control.

* IncorruptiblePurePureness: [[spoiler: If Alpha is to be believed, this is ultimately subverted, no thanks in part to her being possessed by the Shadow Queen.]]
* OnlySaneMan: [[spoiler: Bears the burden of this role during the Dark King's magical assault, where she tries with all of her might to stop her people from panicking.]]
* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: After all, it was because of Peach that [[spoiler: Rosalina was able to show up and perform her BigDamnHeroes moment]]

A Crayzee Dayzee who lives in the Osagi Woods just north of Toad Town. He has been alive for two-thousand years, apparently a Good Guardian created by the Elemental Overlord to help out those he deems worthy to going after his power. He joins Mario and Alex after judging their worth, and even with some slight lapses in his memories he proves to be a competent fighter as they continue on their quest. [[spoiler: As it is later revealed Driad is actually a former Outer Guardian, having lost his memories of that time of his life along with his original form after losing in battle to a particular strong Boo. But exposure to the Elemental Stones helps restore most of his memories after this startling revelation, and he regains his form, that of a wolf-like creature. After a brief identity crisis brought on by the revelations of the murders he committed in the past, he tames his wolf form with Gemini's help. His Genesis Samurai opponent is Acia Rose, and like most other heroes he fails to stop Joe Dark in the later battle.]]

In Movie 1, Driad helps [[spoiler: Alpha]] fight off the [[spoiler: Subspace Army outside the M.S.I. Base, making friends with him in the process.]]

In Part 2, Driad seems to have become more aloof, but as it is revealed when he teams up with Luigi to combat [[spoiler: Dimentio]], this [[spoiler: Is all an act he has decided to use to avoid thinking about the more serious problems in life, especially after witnessing the futile deaths of the Genesis Samurais.]] Even so, he recovers from this problem and proves vital in stopping [[spoiler: Dimentio]] once and for all.

* AxCrazy: You wouldn't believe this just by looking at him [[spoiler: But then you find out the truth about his past...]]

** [[spoiler: BigBadassWolf]]
* BerserkButton: Driad REALLY hates [[spoiler: [[{{HeroicSacrifice}} Futile sacrifices]], specifically after the Genesis Samurais performed theirs against Joe Dark.]] [[spoiler: Dimentio]] presses this, but only so he could [[spoiler: get some enjoyment from watching his reaction.]]

* BewareTheNiceOnes: As the [[spoiler: Outer Guardian of the Frozen Palace]] quickly found out.
* {{BFS}}: Though the leaf blade he creates normally doesn't qualify, [[spoiler: The sword in his Star Spirit form does, but only in comparison to his own body.]]
* CloudCuckooLander: Had a few moments of this in Part 1, but this is taken UpToEleven in Part 2. [[spoiler: Subverted though as it is revealed that the increase in goofy behavior was all an act to help him avert his focus away from his own problems.]]
* CurbStompBattle: Delivers one to the Outer Guardian of the Frozen Palace after he [[spoiler: regains his Outer Guardian form.]]
* {{Determinator}}: Tanks through [[spoiler: Acia Rose's]] DesperationAttack just so he could [[spoiler: defeat her at the same time as himself.]]

* FailureKnight: As revealed at the end of Part 1, [[spoiler: He hates the fact that he wasn't strong enough to do ANYTHING to Joe Dark, and fears what will happen if someone stronger than him were to ever show up.]]
* FriendToAllLivingThings: Part of the reason the trip through the Osagi Woods doesn't end in disaster for Mario and Alex is because Driad is friendly with pretty much all the creatures in the woods, especially the wolves. [[spoiler: Turns out, there is a pretty good reason for that second one.]]
* GoodIsNotNice: [[spoiler: His true form, but only in its first appearance.]]
* HeroicSacrifice: Driad [[spoiler: hates the implementation of this trope with a passion, as revealed in Part 2]]
* [[spoiler: IdentityAmnesia]]

* KatanasAreJustBetter: [[spoiler: In his Samurai form]]
* [[spoiler: LastOfHisKind]]: [[spoiler: As of the end of Part 1, he is the last remaining Outer Guardian.]]
* NotHimself: As Alex notes [[spoiler: After his horrific beatdown of the Frozen Palace's Outer Guardian.]]
* ObfuscatingStupidity: [[spoiler: In Part 2]]
* [[spoiler: OurWerewolvesAreDifferent]]

* SkilledButNaive: Is really good when it comes to fighting, [[spoilers: thanks to his prior experience as an Outer Guardian]], but his moments of aloofness make it hard for him to concentrate on bettering himself.
* [[spoiler: Super Mode]]: [[spoiler: Samurai Driad. His wolf form probably counts either for this or a heroic OneWingedAngel]]
* [[spoiler: TomatoInTheMirror]]: [[{{TheReveal}} He is actually]] [[spoiler: An Outer Guardian]]

* WouldntHitAGirl: Averted, as proven when fighting [[spoiler: Acia Rose]]
