Waddle Dee Delight/Stupidly Overrated Object Show cast

    Kirby 
The original star of the show who acted as the main protagonist of Waddle Dee Delight. He participates in both Stupidly Overrated Object Show and Super Mario Super Challenge.
    Bandana Waddle Dee 
The titular Waddle Dee of Waddle Dee Delight. During the duration of the series he was simply named "Waddle Dee", and thus didn't wear his bandana except during combat.
    Kabe 
One of two Kirbies that Kirby draws into existence. He becomes a detective who still gets mentioned from time to time even after he himself stops making consistent appearances after the end of Waddle Dee Delight.
  • All There in the Manual: A script on the Pixelcraftian site implies he's been investigating the Otherworld.
  • Freeze-Frame Bonus: He appears in a television interview in the background in Mario VS Doo_liss.
  • Impaled with Extreme Prejudice: A spike pops out of the box he's in when he's eliminated in Stupidly Overrated Object Show. He gets better.
  • Put on a Bus: Fares a bit better than most of the WDD main cast as he still gets referenced here and there, but in terms of direct appearances he gets next to no screentime nowadays.
    Kebe 
The other of the two Kirbies drawn to life by Kirby.
  • Hope Spot: When the elimination round of A 'Chain'ge of Heart comes down to her and Kabe, Galaxy announces that Kabe is to be eliminated, which she's relieved by... until Galaxy reveals he was joking and she gets Voted Off the Island instead.
  • Put on a Bus: Hasn't been seen since the end of Waddle Dee Delight and Stupidly Overrated Object Show.
  • The Smurfette Principle: The only female character of the WDD crew.
    Kirb 
A strange image of a Kirby plush who becomes the fifth member of the Waddle Dee Delight crew.
    Objan 
A circular fellow who debuted in a test animation before being added to the main cast of Waddle Dee Delight and Stupidly Overrated Object Show. He manages to win the latter (even if the rest of the contestants basically let him win at that point) and thus wasn't part of the initial roster of Super Mario Super Challenge, but he later gets to join as a fan-voted addition. As fate would have it, this would also be where his little-known backstory would be delved into...
  • Achievements in Ignorance: Somehow manages to get into the SMSC world as a spectator in Overcompetitive Simon Says before he's officially added as a contestant.
  • Color Motif: He's represented by an orange light in his flashbacks in SMSC.
  • Continuity Nod: His flashbacks in SMSC have him wearing the same scarf he wore in later episodes of WDD.
  • Dark and Troubled Past: He was tricked into being experimented on by the Otherworld, which resulted in him unlocking his power to create objects but also resulted in the death of his friends Steve and Tumble.
  • Foreshadowing: In the RPG battle sequence in The Impostor Among Us, one of Objan's battle options is hidden as "????????", hinting at his secret powers.
  • Forgetful Jones: Apparently never remembers his birthday. UserUnknown uses this fact to uncover the Impostor disguising as Objan at one point.
  • Meaningful Name: Objan can summon objects out of thin air.
  • Sole Survivor: The only surviving member of the Power Trio he was a part of with Steve and Tumble.
  • Super-Reflexes: Over the course of three SMSC episodes, the Impostor never lands a single hit on him.
    UserUnknown 
A former blue Kirby who never got to see the light of day due to his debut animation getting cancelled. As if the universe wanted to kick him while he was down, he was then subjected to a number of accidents that disfigured his body, but also granted him immense power, which he used to try and get back at the Waddle Dee Delight crew that replaced him. While he's ultimately defeated, he's brought back in Stupidly Overrated Object Show, where he starts to have a change of heart.
  • Blue Is Heroic / Green and Mean: After powering-down from his Superpowered Evil Side, he turns green and maintains a jerk-ish behavior in early episodes of SOOS. When he finds that there are people out there that like him, he starts to mellow out and turns blue.
  • Half the Man He Used to Be: Played for Laughs in Nostalgia Never Leaves, where Crewmate slices him in half just by walking through him with a knife in his hand.
  • History Repeats: He's voted back in through a rejoin event in both SOOS and Super Mario Super Challenge. He and Objan are aware of this pattern.
    Objan: AGAIN?!
    UserUnknown: AGAIN!!!!
  • I Just Want to Be Loved: His main motivation throughout his villain arc. He turns evil out of envy of the WDD crew getting to star in their own adventures while he was cast to the side, and initially doesn't get along with anybody in SOOS because he thinks nobody likes him. Some comments from fans who support him end up helping him turn a new leaf.
  • Power Up Letdown: Since he can already fly, flight-based power-ups like the Cape Feather don't do much for him.
  • Psychic Powers: Ranges from levitation to psychic energy bursts.
  • Skewed Priorities: Puts off participating in the challenge to watch a presentation in Nostalgia Never Leaves until Kirby gets him to pay attention.
  • Split Personality: He appears to be split between his normal blue (formerly green) personality and his black Superpowered Evil Side, the latter being known as "Core UserUnknown".
    Pixelcraftian 
The creator of all worlds who previously acted as the host of Stupidly Overrated Object Show. Once that show concluded, he all but vanished from the public eye.
  • All-Powerful Bystander: In the current era, he avoids directly interacting with his creations unless absolutely necessary, such as the end of Beyond the Bounds.
  • Big Brother Instinct: Pits the remaining contestants of SOOS against the eliminated contestants when the latter group riles up against Galaxycraftian.
  • Game Show Host: Of SOOS.
  • The Maker: Of the Waddle Dee Delight universe and the Mario Mayhem multiverse.
  • O.O.C. Is Serious Business: Drops his cheery attitude when he kills Codename.
  • Powerful Pick: His weapon of choice is a pickaxe. He's somehow able to impale people with it.
  • Put on a Bus: It's more like he got on that bus himself, as he willingly decides to be less involved with his creations after SOOS.
    Galaxycraftian 
Pixelcraftian's younger brother who becomes the co-host of Stupidly Overrated Object Show, as well as the one in charge of removing contestants who get Voted Off the Island. His idea of doing so involving the contestants dying in some way.
  • Enfant Terrible: He's a kid who's not exactly evil, but every time he's in charge of removing an eliminated contestant from the show he does it by killing them in painful ways, which draws the ire of his victims.
  • Not Helping Your Case: He stops to kill the next eliminated contestant as the other eliminated contestants are trying to get him for doing just that in Galaxy Must Go Away.
    Waddle Doo: HE GOT ANOTHER!
    Steve? 
A fan of Pixelcraftian who is upset at him for removing an old video called The Ultimate Smash Craft.
  • The Bus Came Back: Comes back after being killed by Pixelcraftian to disrupt the new competitive series Super Mario Super Challenge, although his main objective is to find Pixelcraftian since he went into hiding after SOOS.
  • Came Back Strong: During his debut, he didn't really accomplish much and his mooks left him to die so they can go play Fortnite. When he returns in SMSC, he's got a whole army of Steves at his disposal with proper gear and can actually put up a fight.
  • Hostile Show Takeover: Takes over SOOS for an episode before Pixelcraftian kills him. He does it again in SMSC.
  • One-Steve Limit: Averted. He's a different character from "Steve", despite both appearing as the default Minecraft avatar, though Steve? does get an outfit change by SMSC.

Mario Mayhem main cast

    Mario 
The Hero of the Mushroom Kingdom and the current main protagonist of the channel. He's quite used to saving the day and exploring unknown territory by now, though he could do without the constant death traps.
  • Butt-Monkey: He's more often than not getting killed by sudden unfair traps in any given stage. A particularly absurd example being Mario's Cliff Calamity, where his attempts at crossing a gap are met by barrages of Thwomps and the ground itself moving so he doesn't get to cross, among other things.
  • Cutting the Knot: When he's outmatched in combat by Technoblade in Minecraft Manhunt VS Super Mario Bros., he turns the tables with a Super Star. Technoblade even calls him out on it.
    Technoblade: you're using your super powers now? that's cringe bro.
  • Failed a Spot Check: Spends the entirety of Mario's P-Switch Calamity trying to get a P-Switch to function as intended so he can grab enough coins for a 1-UP. When he manages to do so and keeps going, he immediately runs into the end of stage flagpole.
  • Future Me Scares Me: Downplayed, but he's surprised at the way Future Mario brutally kills Otherworld Codes 2 and 3.
  • Unreliable Narrator: Played for Laughs in Shadow Mario's Revenge, where his memory of defeating Shadow Mario in Super Mario Sunshine involves spraying him with water until he explodes. He was then apparently rewarded by a very heavy Shine Sprite getting dropped on his head.
  • The Many Deaths of You: A lot of videos involve Mario trying to pass through a stage or complete some task while constantly getting killed in bizarrely unfair ways.
  • The Voiceless: It is Mario, after all.
    Luigi 
Mario's cowardly younger brother who's still willing to help out his big bro when need be.
  • Distressed Dude: He's kidnapped in Super Mario Combat, and Mario has to save him.
  • One-Man Army: Averted in Minecraft Manhunt VS Super Mario Bros., where his attempt at single-handedly taking down an army of Minecraft Youtubers (with power-ups, no less) goes horribly wrong.
  • Tranquil Fury: In Mario VS Mario?, he, along with Toad and Toadette, has Mario and Doopliss compete in a quiz show to figure out which one of the two is the real Mario, with the three of them displaying the questions from behind a large screen. When Doopliss answers "What's your brother's name?" with "Gary", he silently rises up from the screen with the most anger that could possibly be portrayed through his 8-bit sprite. Doopliss quickly corrects himself... by answering "Louis", at which point Luigi socks him in the face.
  • The Voiceless: Zig-zagged between videos; sometimes he won't have any lines like Mario but other times he'll talk just fine.
  • Weapon Specialization: He obtains an iron axe in Herobrine VS Super Mario Bros. Though he upgraded to a diamond sword in that video, later appearances would have him stick to the axe as his weapon of choice.
    Toad 
The blue Toad who follows Mario and co. in several adventures in the mainline games.
  • Ascended Extra: Consistently appears as a main character throughout the series, unlike the games where he tends to just be a playable character meant to act as an option for multiplayer.
  • Voice for the Voiceless: He sometimes plays this role as he's the most talkative member of the team.
    Toadette 
A female Toad who rounds out the Mario crew as its fourth member.
  • Literally Shattered Lives: Played for Laughs in Dig Your Own Diamonds, where Noob smacks her with a pickaxe and she inexplicably cracks.
  • Unintentional Backup Plan: When she and Toad crash their Clown Car in Mario VS Mr. L, she ends up getting tossed into the second floor of Mr. L's castle, where she manages to reach the control panel and activate the castle's self-destruct.
  • Walking Armory: Seems to have been in charge of carrying all the items for her team in Super Mario Super Challenge. When she's eliminated, she scatters her entire inventory for the rest of the contestants to pick up (barring the Frog suit, which falls into the void).

Super Mario Super Challenge cast

    In general 
A list of characters whose appearances are typically limited to Super Mario Super Challenge. They tend to be minor characters outside of SMSC (or didn't appear at all prior), but they mainly show up for said series.
    Infringio 
The host of Super Mario Super Challenge who gathers the contestants to compete in his game show. He was granted his own universe by Pixelcraftian and mainly uses his reality-altering powers to create interesting challenges for his contestants, though he'll sometimes just improvise and handwave any technical problems that happen in the show as the challenge of the day.
  • All-Powerful Bystander: States on multiple occasions that he could solve any problems that arise in the show, but he usually makes the contestants deal with them because that's more fun. Averted in The Return of "Steve?", where he's forced to get his hands dirty to escape from Steve?'s confinement.
  • Captain Ersatz: See Transplant below, but he was intentionally designed as a copyright-friendly lookalike of Mario.
  • Game Show Host: Of SMSC.
  • Terrible Artist: In Overcompetitive Simon Says, the contestants are asked to look to the left, showing a crudely-drawn self-portrait with Infringio's name on it.
    Luigi: It's-a wonderful, host.
  • Transplant: He was originally conceived as a Captain Ersatz for Mario to be used in the game DMCA Royale when the original Mario Royale was taken down by Nintendo, though that didn't last long either, so he was repurposed as the host of SMSC. This also makes his name "Infringio" an Artifact Name.
    Copyright 
Infringio's equally strangely-named younger brother who shows up later to act as the co-host of Super Mario Super Challenge. He's a bit more laid-back compared to his brother.
  • Suspiciously Similar Substitute: Being the host's similar-looking yet more chaotic laid-back younger brother, he seems to be SMSC's version of Galaxycraftian (minus the killing of contestants).
    Yoshi 
Mario's lovable dinosaur friend, though he doesn't appear often in the main videos. He acts as the fifth member of the Mario crew for the purposes of Super Mario Super Challenge.
  • Big Eater: Should be a given considering it's Yoshi we're talking about. When he gets eliminated, Infringio tries to cheer him up by telling him there's food in the elimination area.
  • Didn't Think This Through: His attempt at attacking the other contestants in Audience Afloat! by encasing Mario in an egg and chucking him at the competition manages to take out Fall Guy, but Boo immediately catches the egg and tosses it out of the arena, while Yoshi isn't able to hurt the ghost on his own.
  • Overly-Long Tongue: Notably attempts to use this to catch Sonic in Chasing the Speed Limit.
    Fall Guy 
A bean-like fellow from Fall Guys who teams up with Crewmate to form the "Bean Tag Team". They're eventually split up when teams are removed, though they still look out for each other.
  • Achievements in Ignorance: He defeats Artipas by chucking Luigi's axe at him while everyone else is intimidated by his Rage Breaking Point.
  • Children Are Innocent: Though his age is unclear, he generally has a happy-go-lucky child-like personality and is separated from any drama between contestants.
  • Floating Limbs: A notable difference from his original design, his hands are separated from the rest of his body and have been "disconnected" from him a number of times.
  • Heterosexual Life-Partners: With his fellow Bean Tag Team partner Crewmate.
  • Red Oni, Blue Oni: A cheery, excitable Red Oni to Crewmate's blue.
    Crewmate / Evan 
A red crew member of the Skeld ship who was suddenly brought to compete in Super Mario Super Challenge. He starts off as part of the "Bean Tag Team" with Fall Guy before the two are eventually split up when teams are removed entirely in the show.
  • Adaptation Species Change: Among Us implies that the crewmates aren't human and are sort of their own species. Evan, on the other hand, is a human (or at the very least a human-like species) wearing a suit.
  • All There in the Manual: According to this briefing, Evan was a crewmate of the Model 2 Skeld after the previous Skeld was taken over by a parasite that killed the ship's entire crew.
  • Big Brother Instinct: He tends to be looking out for Fall Guy like a brother. Crewmate doesn't mind the Impostor killing him in Dig Your Own Diamonds, but the same can't be said about him harming Fall Guy.
  • Dude, Not Funny!: He's not fond of people making Among Us impostor jokes. It borders on his Berserk Button.
  • Given Name Reveal: He mentions his real name to Steve in Who Killed Kirby?. This is also the episode that reveals what he looks like underneath his suit.
  • Floating Limbs: His hands appear to be separate from his body even after his Crewmate suit is removed.
  • Heterosexual Life-Partners: With his fellow Bean Tag Team partner Fall Guy. He's less than pleased about having to face off against him as his last opponent in Mario's Spaceship Attack.
  • Power Up Letdown: He generally avoids using power-ups since his crewmate suit gets excluded in the transformation. He's notably happy when he loses his Cat Suit in Shadow Mario's Revenge and gets to switch back to his regular suit.
  • Red Oni, Blue Oni: The more level-headed Blue Oni to Fall Guy's red (even if they're both colored red).
  • You Are in Command Now: Briefly takes the helm as leader of his team once Golden Goomba is eliminated, though it doesn't last long as teams are removed entirely soon after (and he spends one episode out of commission due to being replaced by the Impostor).
  • You Have GOT to Be Kidding Me!: Nonverbally has this reaction in Who Killed Kirby? when Infringio warps everyone into the next challenge while he's trying to gather testimony regarding why Kirby was found unconscious. He then spends half the challenge interviewing Objan anyways.
    Impostor / Artipas 
An alien creature impersonating Crewmate who sneaks his way onto Super Mario Super Challenge to kill his target. He briefly takes Crewmate's place before being found out, at which point he acts as a third party who gets in the way of all contestants for a few episodes.
  • Adaptational Abomination: SMSC gives the Among Us Impostor a "true form" past the Crewmate-like appearance it shapeshifts into in the games.
  • All There in the Manual: Despite being a sizeable baddie on his own right, the Pixelcraftian site states that he's "one of the dumbest and smallest of his kind".
  • Medium Awareness: He's aware of his fight against the contestants turning into Turn-Based Combat and attempts to take another turn before being interrupted by Crewmate.
  • Inferiority Superiority Complex: Evidence seems to point to this. If he's considered small and dumb by most in his species, he's likely not doing too well in terms of self-esteem, yet he initially tries to act high and mighty when fighting the contestants before he starts to break down once he's nearly defeated in The Impostor Among Us. Crewmate ends up striking a nerve with the following Armor-Piercing Question:
    Crewmate: What? Are you scared? Is the "scary impostor" scared of his enemies??
  • One-Winged Angel: Takes his true form in The Impostor Among Us.
  • Put on a Bus: He's teleported out of the SMSC dimension by Copyright after his defeat.
    Goomba 
A somewhat grumpy Goomba who competes in Super Mario Super Challenge. He's paired with the more visually distinct Golden Goomba as part of the Goomba Duo.
  • The Goomba: Besides literally being a Goomba, he also tends to be the frailest contestant in SMSC.
  • Kick Them While They Are Down: As a verbal example, when Steve is sulking in shame after accidentally costing his team the match in Chasing the Speed Limit, he rubs it in.
    Goomba: Nice job, Steve! Now you get to be the reason why your team is up for voting!
  • Sore Loser: Downplayed. When he and Golden Goomba are Voted Off the Island, he tells the host that he sucks before the duo is warped out.
    Golden Goomba 
A tough, gold-plated Goomba who's even able to hold his own against Mario in some instances. He's paired with Goomba in Super Mario Super Challenge as the Goomba Duo, and acts as the leader of his team.
  • Expy: He's heavily based on but not the same character as the Golden Goomba from Level UP.
  • Elite Mook: A gold Goomba who can take significantly more damage than your standard Goomba.
  • The Leader: His entire team (except for Wario) quickly puts him in charge in SMSC.
    Koopa 
A docile Koopa Troopa who joins Super Mario Super Challenge. He's not much of a fighter, so his shell tends to do most of the heavy lifting in more action-oriented challenges.
  • Equippable Ally: Tends to hide in his shell in combat situations, at which point his allies can use him as a projectile.
  • Guest Host: Hosts the titular Simon Says in Overcompetitive Simon Says after he's eliminated.
  • Punch-Clock Villain: Doesn't have anything personal against Mario. When the eliminated contestants vote for who should be Voted Off the Island next in Shadow Mario's Revenge, he doesn't vote for the plumber even as his fellow minions Boo and Goomba do.
    Captain Toad 
A backpack-wearing Toad adventurer that Mario's run into a number of times in his adventures. His heavy backpack weighing him down makes him one of the more unorthodox contestants in Super Mario Super Challenge.
  • All There in the Manual: The Pixelcraftian site states that the reason he's keeping his backpack on him at all times is because all his Power Stars are in there.
  • Department of Redundancy Department: As everyone else gets launched into the air while he manages to keep his ground thanks to his backpack in Overcompetitive Simon Says:
    Captain Toad: Well I'm glad I'm down here and the rest of the guys are up there and that I'm down here
    Boo 
A timid Boo who's invited to Super Mario Super Challenge. He seems to be the friendliest guy on his team, despite what might be implied by his species.
  • Friendly Ghost: Gets along with a lot of the other contestants, even when they're on opposing teams.
  • Screw This, I'm Outta Here: When Koopa bulldozes half the remaining contestants in Audience Afloat!, he just exits the arena on his own volition.
    Bobby 
A sleepy Bob-omb without a fuse. He's still susceptible to exploding via physical impact, however.
    Flash Mario 
The Mario from the April Fools series Super Mario Awesome Quest who's a lot less nicer than the Mario we know. He gets stuck in Super Mario Super Challenge as well, though he'd rather not be there. He actually manages to escape entirely just as he's eliminated before returning as part of the main cast of the Across the Marioverse story arc.
  • Big Damn Heroes: Manages to save Level UP Mario just as one of the AI Mario clones is about to turn him into a ZIP file.
  • The Big Guy: He's a little thicker than Mario and manages to tear open the simulation core with his bare hands twice in the Across the Marioverse arc.
  • The Bus Came Back: A somewhat strange example. He goes completely AWOL in SMSC with the potential implication that he'll be back in some way, only for Across the Marioverse, which seemingly takes place after the events of SMSC, to be released first, where he's part of the main cast.
  • The Comically Serious: He tends to be taken seriously in-universe, all while he's speaking in 2000's-era internet lingo and broken grammar.
  • Continuity Nod: He refers to Mario as specifically "Mario" amongst the entire team of Marios in Across the Marioverse, since that's how he was named in SMSC.
  • Deadpan Snarker: Tends to do this, especially in the Across the Marioverse arc.
    Flash Mario: (as Emma Harris closes the simulation with the Marios still in it) congrats on killing us instead of breaking the core
  • Early-Bird Cameo: His main series is technically Super Mario Awesome Quest, meaning that his appearance in SMSC is this since the first episode aired before Super Mario Awesome Quest.
  • Flipping the Bird: Flips (a censored) one off to Emma Harris in BREAKING THE MARIOVERSE. Though previous episodes established that AIROM computers can't see the Marios until they enter the system core, so she wouldn't have been able to see it...
  • Headbutting Heroes: Ends up butting heads with Sonic in SMSC due to a misunderstanding brought about due to the desktop sound being muted.
  • The Mole: Once he figures his team is far too competitive for his liking, he starts supplying Mario's team with items and sabotages his own team in order to draw the ire of the audience and get himself eliminated.
  • Playing with Fire: He has the natural ability to use fire.
  • Reluctant Hero: SMSC establishes that he'd typically prefer staying at home and out of the action, but he still willingly jumps back into the simulation to fight alongside his fellow Marios in Across the Marioverse.
  • Shut Up, Hannibal!: As Emma Harris berates the Marios for destroying her company's work in BREAKING THE MARIOVERSE, he has this to say:
Emma: And to think Super Mario.. no, MANY Super Mario's hate innovation. Our very future is at stake here. Get with the times or fall.
Flash Mario: maam, you threatened to kill us.
  • Stylistic Suck: He's designed to emulate early internet Flash animation with Limited Animation, broken grammar, and a lower audio quality to his voice clips. Into The MarioVerse has him and Mario theorizing what would happen if the team destroys the simulation core through pictures, with Flash Mario's thoughts being shown to have more stilted movement compared to Mario's.
  • Took a Level in Kindness: He's a lot more cooperative in Across the Marioverse compared to his time in SMSC.
  • Voice for the Voiceless: He acts as this for his team in Across the Marioverse since most of the other Marios don't talk.
    Sonic 
The "fastest thing alive" who's up for a good competition in Super Mario Super Challenge. Unfortunately, things don't go his way when he ends up clashing with his teammate Flash Mario.
  • Adaptational Wimp: Ends up injuring his legs rather simply when Flash Mario punches him into a wall.
  • Headbutting Heroes: He gets into an argument with Flash Mario when they're unable to communicate with each other due to the titular desktop in Mario's Desktop Royale breifly being muted, and things start going downhill from there.
  • Mythology Gag: His 8-bit design is reused from Pixelcraftian's part in the Super Mario Bros. Z re-animated collab video.
  • Sore Loser: Straight up turns back from the goal when he finds that Mario's team all finished before him in The Great Escape, ultimately costing his team the round.
    Gweenie 
A big fan of battle royale games who forms a team with Mario when the latter picks up "Super Mario Royale" and quickly shows his expertise in the genre.
  • Aborted Arc: Mario's Sky Royale features Gweenie making his grand return and coming face to face with Frey again with a "To Be Continued". This doesn't end up happening, with Mario's Sky Royale: Attempt 2 instead being Mario's quest to finally get a win in the game while facing Gweenie.
  • The Cameo: Some dimension-hopping combat during the final battle of the Beyond the Bounds story arc leads to a brief cameo from Gweenie (and Frey).
  • Child Prodigy: He fares well in most combat-based competitions despite being at the most in his early teen years.
  • Early Installment Character-Design Difference: Originally had the same colors as Luigi in Mario's Battle Royale and Mario's Sky Royale before changing to a more turquoise color scheme from SUPER Mario Battle Royale onwards.
  • Younger Than They Look: Despite his Luigi-shaped avatar with a mustache, he's stated to be around 12-14 years old.
    Frey 
A young child playing a video game with a custom Mario avatar. His poor internet connection proves to be his advantage as it allows him to phase through attacks and dish out his own out of sync blows.
  • All There in the Manual: Frey's username is shown to be "Agethree" in early videos, but the Pixelcraftian site states that he's grown a year older since.
  • Child Prodigy: Excels in battle despite his actual age being 3-4.
  • Early Installment Character-Design Difference: He appears as a regular Mario avatar in his first appearance in Mario's Battle Royale before getting a custom design from Mario's Parkour Calamity onwards.
  • Logical Weakness: His combat prowess is entirely reliant on his bad internet, so when Mario manually improves his connection via adding another bar to a Wi-Fi symbol in Mario's Parkour Calamity, he's quickly defeated.
  • Troll: When he's Voted Off the Island, he abuses his bad connection to avoid the warp pipes trying to warp him out before disconnecting entirely.
  • Younger Than They Look: His player avatar lacks a mustache, unlike Gweenie, so he at the very least looks much younger than the Mario Bros... but Frey is currently four years old.
    Shadow Mario 
The disguised form of Bowser Jr. best known for appearing in Super Mario Sunshine. Because Bowser Jr. was invited to Super Mario Super Challenge as specifically "Shadow Mario", he has to keep the disguise on for the duration of the series.
  • Hate Sink: Seeing how he complains and blames everyone else when his team loses in the first episode, it's very likely he was intended to be eliminated first. The viewers agreed with this sentiment.
  • Sore Loser: When he's not voted back in during the rejoin, he decides to hijack the next challenge and tries to ruin the show in Shadow Mario's Revenge.
    Noob 
A Roblox player who gets added into Super Mario Super Challenge as a fan-voted new character partway into the series.
    Steve and Tumble 
Objan's old friends who have long since passed due to an accident.
  • Aerith and Bob: "Steve" is a more typical name compared to "Tumble".
  • All There in the Manual: The Pixelcraftian site states that Steve wanted to be a detective and Tumble would've liked to get into any job involving explosives before they died.
  • Characterization Marches On: Objan's debut video "objan" features two other characters, with the circular-headed character appearing to be more level-headed while the square-headed character's expression makes him appear to be a Cloud Cuckoolander. Come the flashback in Shadow Mario's Revenge, and the square-headed Steve is The Smart Guy of the trio while the circlular-headed Tumble is the goofier one.
  • Color Motif: Besides the blue and green shirts they wear respectively, Steve and Tumble tend to be represented by purple and pink lights, next to Objan's orange. Their respective colors are shown getting destroyed in Who Killed Kirby?, symbolizing the duo's death.
  • Death by Origin Story: They were killed in an accident involving Objan's power to generate objects, which is why he's not fond of it and would prefer if no one else knew about it.
  • One-Steve Limit: Averted with Steve, who shares a name with both Steve and Steve?/"King Steve", the former still being an active player in Super Mario Super Challenge by the time Objan's flashbacks start being shown.
  • Power Trio: They appeared to form one with Objan.

The Otherworld

    In general 
A trio of evil Mario lookalikes with ambitions of conquering the multiverse.
  • Leitmotif: "Memorabilia" tends to be associated with Codename. It's later expanded to the Otherworld as a whole when the leitmotif becomes tied to Objan's backstory and flashbacks in Super Mario Super Challenge, where the Otherworld Leader is also present.
  • Mysterious Purple: They all come in different shades of purple and shady motives.
  • Posthumous Character: The Otherworld Leader and Codename show up in a flashback in Shadow Mario's Revenge, where they uncover Objan's powers through experiments and inadvertently causes an accident that kills Objan's friends. This flashback is revealed well after the events of Beyond the Bounds and likely indicates the Otherworld's influence will still be felt after their demise.
  • There Is Another: Codename hints at the Otherworld being part of a greater species known as "artifacts".
    Otherworld Leader 
The leader of the Otherworld trio. He calls the shots and is willing to up the stakes significantly to capture Mario.
  • An Arm and a Leg: Future Mario manages to punch him hard enough to blow his arm clean off while using a Metal Cap, and uses this arm to activate a portal to the past so he can Set Right What Once Went Wrong.
  • Big Bad: The main antagonist of Gate to the Multiverse.
  • Death by Irony: The final blow that kills him is a laser shot from the severed arm of his future self.
  • Immune to Bullets: Apparently not.
  • Lame Last Words: Words that break the fourth wall, no less.
    Otherworld Leader: Uhhh.. Be sure to like and subscribe for more content like this?
  • Laser-Guided Karma: On two occasions in Super Mario War:
    • In the first half of the episode, Future Mario blows his arm off and leaves him critically injured mere seconds after he kills Future Luigi.
    • Later on, the present-day Otherworld Leader tries to leave Mario stranded in a pit, but is quickly shot by Future Mario and left begging Mario to spare his life as he clings to the edge of the platform in the pit.
  • Teleportation: He swiftly warps around in his fight with Mario, something that his subordinates don't seem to be able to do.
  • Time Stands Still: Freezes time just before Future Mario attempts to decapitate him and blasts him with a barrage of Bullet Bills.
  • Villains Want Mercy: Right after gloating about how he'd leave Mario to starve to death in an inescapable pit and going after Luigi next, he's suddenly shot in the face by Future Mario and left to hang from the very platform he left Mario on. He tries to get Mario to spare him, to no avail.
  • The Warlord: By Super Mario War, he's commanding a whole army of alternate universe warriors, as well as many Mushroom Kingdom folk who have been intimidated enough to sign their lives away to him.
    Otherworld Code 2 
One of the Otherworld Leader's henchmen, sporting a similar reddish-purple color scheme to his leader.
    Otherworld Code 3/"Codename" (spoilers unmarked!) 
The other henchman of the Otherworld Leader with a more standard purple color scheme. Unlike his contemporaries, he survived the events of Gate to the Multiverse by carrying extra lives on him, and gathers his own Legion of Doom to defeat Mario and carry out his leader's unfinished plans.

Sentients

    In general 
A catch-all term for video game simulation characters who have gained sentience.
  • Artificial Intelligence: They're essentially this, though they have semi-physical, semi-digital bodies in the Mushroom Kingdom.
  • The Game Come to Life: Mario enters a video game simulation to interact with the sentients. A simulation crash in Mario's Syobon Action Calamity 2 results in all three of them being ejected into the real world.
    Unfair Mario 
A friendly sentient who befriends Mario when the latter joins his game, and ends up getting roped into the events of Beyond the Bounds.
  • Costume Evolution: Downplayed. Tally swipes his hat at the end of Mario VS The Otherworld to protect his head from the rain, and Unfair Mario's profile picture on the Pixelcraftian site and the channel banner indicate that he never got a replacement. This essentially serves to distinguish him from other Super Mario World-based Marios.
  • Non-Indicative Name: "Unfair Mario" refers to the original game he's from, while he himself is a Nice Guy who doesn't show any particular signs of being "unfair".
  • Spanner in the Works: Amidst all the chaos in Beyond the Bounds, MX and Syobon failed to report to Codename that Unfair Mario had gotten a Game Over seconds before the simulation crashed, leaving him in a simultaneously dead and alive glitched state. This causes Codename's ultimate plan to completely fall apart as the machine he hooks Unfair Mario up to shuts down because of this glitch.
  • The Speechless: Unlike most of the other characters, who at least have their own voice clips, the only noises that come out of him are Super Mario World sound effects.
  • Token Heroic Orc: He's the only one of the sentients who isn't trying to kill Mario.
    Syobon 
The titular character of Syobon Action who doesn't really like Mario after the plumber cleared a difficult stage that he couldn't.
  • Adaptational Villainy: He's the main playable character of Syobon Action, but he's one of the villains here.
  • Driven by Envy: He's got a grudge against Mario for being better than him at his own game.
  • Karma Houdini: He and MX were the only ones who didn't defect from Codename's group in Mario VS The Otherworld; Codename wound up dead and MX lost his source of entertainment with the death of Lucas, while Syobon was just sent back to his own game with no further repercussions.
  • Odd Friendship: A cutesy cat-like creature who is friends with MX, a grotesque, demonic computer virus.
  • Squishy Wizard: His powers seem to be limited to creating coin blocks with no particular combat skills to speak of, so he doesn't contribute much to the final battle of Beyond the Bounds.
  • What, Exactly, Is His Job?: With pretty much everyone else in Codename's crew handling the fighting while Codename himself pulls all the strings in the background, Syobon isn't left with much to do for the team, though he does end up scouting out Mario and Toad in Mario VS The Otherworld.
    MX 
The main antagonist of Mario '85, he invades E. Gadd's simulation under Codename's orders.
  • Adaptational Karma: His constant torment of Lucas carries over from the source material, but it comes to an abrupt end when Lucas is given a permanent way out while outside the game in Mario VS The Otherworld, leaving MX feeling hollow without his favorite victim to entertain him.
  • Adaptation Personality Change: While the original MX was stated to only target children, this incarnation has no problem with going after Mario.
  • Adaptation Species Change: The original MX was an evil spirit, while here he's a sentient, aka a computer program. Solve even refers to him as a virus.
  • Adaptational Wimp: Make no mistake, MX is still one of the more threatening villains in the Mario Mayhem Rogues Gallery, but he's not The Juggernaut he was in his original game. E. Gadd is able to deter him from Mario by granting the latter the effects of a Super Star within the simulation, and in Mario & The Third Party, Mario chucks him away with ease when his guard is down.
  • Genius Bruiser: He tends to be characterized by his physical strength, but he's the one who builds the crash machine in Mario's Syobon Action Calamity 2.
  • Go-Karting with Bowser: When he shows up in the April Fools video Mario VS Bowser's Lair Hockey, he doesn't fight Mario and competes against him in a round of air hockey instead (albeit begrudgingly). That is, until he loses, at which point he kicks the air hockey table over and charges at Mario before the simulation is terminated.
  • Hero Killer: Manages to kill Mario in an Alternate Continuity, triggering the Bad Ending of Beyond the Bounds.
  • Immune to Bullets: The best Cherry's bullets can do to him is make him flinch. Fire bullets, on the other hand, manage to blow him away.
  • Leitmotif: The instrumental version of GAME OVER by Saster plays in Mario VS MX. A lower-pitched Dark Reprise is used in Mario VS MX 2.
  • Lighter and Softer: Causes significantly less bloodshed compared to his original counterpart.
  • Odd Friendship: He's a grotesque, demonic computer virus who's friends with the more cutesy Syobon. His inner monologue on the Pixelcraftian site indicates that he at the very least still trusts the feline after the events of Beyond the Bounds.
  • The Only One Allowed to Defeat You: A morbid example. He wants to be able to constantly kill and torment Lucas, so Cherry putting the poor boy out of his misery results in MX holding a grudge against the gun-toting Darksi clone.
  • Put Down Your Gun and Step Away: Threatens to kill Mario in the terminating simulation (which would prevent Death Is Cheap from taking effect) if Cherry doesn't drop his gun. The latter complies, but Mario manages to pass him a Fire Flower, and Cherry always carries two guns.
  • Tempting Fate: He was betting on Cherry not having the guts to shoot Lucas. He was wrong.
    MX: Would you kill an 8 year old boy? Would you do that?
    Cherry: Be-a careful with your-a words, big guy.
  • Took a Level in Jerkass: By Mario VS MX 2, he's dropped much of the original incarnation's Faux Affably Evil tendencies and acts more aggressively due to no longer being able to torment Lucas after his death.
  • The Worf Effect: He's implied to have been driven off by Future Mario offscreen in the final battle of Mario VS The Otherworld.

Other Mario Mayhem villains

    Bowser 
The king of the Koopas, who is (expectedly) out to capture Princess Peach.
  • Demoted to Extra: He gets significantly less screen time compared to the official games.
  • Enemy Mine: He's willing to team up with the Mario crew to get Peach back from Mr. L in Mario VS Mr. L.
  • Go-Karting with Bowser: A simulation version of him challenges Mario to a game of air hockey in Mario VS Bowser's Lair Hockey.
    • Mario also accepts an invitation that he thinks is from Bowser to face off against him at his "cool new tower" in Mario & The Twilight Trail and is actually upset when he finds Doopliss instead.
  • Noble Demon: The Pixelcraftian site states that he's the one putting question blocks with power-ups in them in Mario's path, much to Kurten's annoyance.
  • The Worf Effect: He's easily pummeled by Peppino in Peppino VS Super Mario Bros.
    Kurten 
Bowser's right-hand Goomba who tends to handle the more technical aspects of the Koopa King's plans.
    Tally / "Project DGA" 
A robot based on Mario created by AIROM. He very quickly started showing signs of excessive violence and ended up escaping (as predicted by one of the company's more paranoid employees), causing as much bloodshed as he did PR issues for the company as a whole. He now resides in a dark forest on his own, waiting to slaughter anyone who might have the misfortune of stumbling in.
  • A.I. Is a Crapshoot: He doesn't last one minute into his last performance test at AIROM before going rogue.
  • All There in the Manual: The Pixelcraftian site lists a Toad character named "Draw" who apparently likes to soar around Tally's forest just out of his reach, something that ticks him off immensely.
  • Ambiguously Related: In Super Mario: No Way Home, Mora encounters a second robot with a monitor head and overalls caged in front of the AIROM headquarters who seems just as aggressive as Tally. How these two robots are related is unknown.
  • Chainsaw Good: His preferred weapons (when he's not fighting bare-handed) are circular saws that come out of his arms, which apparently regenerate if detached.
  • Didn't See That Coming: When Infringio tried to pick a challenge from the audience in episode 15 of Super Mario Super Challenge, he probably wasn't counting on Tally killing the mailman and destroying his envelope containing either the invitation to the audience or the audience suggestions themselves.
  • The Dreaded: As soon as Mario realizes he's back in Tally's forest in Mario VS Tally 2, his immediate reaction is to try to get the heck out of there.
  • Enemy Mine: He's willing to fight alongside the Mario crew in Mario VS The Otherworld after Codename captured him. It doesn't last, and he goes right back to trying to kill Mario in Mario VS Tally 2.
  • Killer Robot: Tries to go after anyone who shows up in his forest.
  • Losing Your Head: A flashback in Mario VS Tally 2 shows his original Mario-shaped head being cut off, resulting in him wearing the television head he has today instead.
  • Not So Stoic: He's mostly a cold-blooded Silent Antagonist, but at the end of Mario VS The Otherworld, when Cherry questions why the killer robot helped everyone drive off the Otherworld, he gestures as if to say "you saw nothing" and storms off.
  • Weaksauce Weakness: He's shown to be unable to handle even the slightest amount of water, making rain especially a pain.
    Mr. L 
An evil "Darksi Clone" of Luigi born from the use of a modified Double Cherry (officially named a "Darksi Cherry") created by Bowser and Kurten. He's got it out for the Mario brothers, especially Luigi, and is shown working with an unknown benefactor.
  • Adaptational Backstory Change: In Super Paper Mario, he was created when Nastasia brainwashed Luigi. Here, he's established as an evil Double Cherry clone who is a completely separate entity from his original lookalike.
  • Adaptational Superpower Change: He uses psychic powers as opposed to the original Mr. L's super jump. Both prove to be skilled engineers who build their own Brobots, though.
  • Arc Villain: Of Super Mario & The Green Thunder.
  • Artificial Stupidity: One of the obstacles in his castle in Mario VS Mr. L is a sealed off area with a Metal Mario that manages to kill Mario, Luigi, and Toad... but after they respawn, it just breaks the barriers around them and walks away.
  • Decomposite Character: Unlike Super Paper Mario, where he was the brainwashed version of Luigi, he and Luigi coexist as separate characters.
  • Ditzy Genius: He may have been able to construct a giant robot on his own, but he's also the only one present in Mario & The Third Party who doesn't understand Codename when the latter gives him (admittedly cryptic) permission to have his rematch against Mario.
    Mr. L: Is that yes or-a no?
  • Enemy Mine: He joins the Mario crew against Codename's forces when the latter backstabs him and Cherry.
  • Evil Doppelgänger: Of Luigi.
  • Out of Focus: His appearances drastically decrease after the Beyond the Bounds story arc.
  • Psychic Powers: He primarily uses bursts of psychic energy to power up his physical attacks.
  • Sibling Rivalry: He doesn't get along with his fellow Darksi clone "brother" Cherry.
    Cherry 
Much like Mr. L, Cherry is a "Darksi Clone" of Mario, though in his case he was born by natural causes. In this universe, Double Cherries have a one in a million chance of generating an evil clone of the user, a chance that was substantially boosted with the Darksi Cherry that created Mr. L. Mario, being Mario, manages to trigger this chance on multiple occasions on his own, creating Cherry; though the plumber is usually able to get rid of his Evil Doppelgänger before long, Cherry is eventually able to get away for good with a 1-UP in tow, allowing him to run around causing mischief.
Cherry: Give me a good explanation as to why I don't blow your brains right now.
Mr. L: I have 17 lives, shoot me and I'll just come back.
  • Handguns: His preferred weapons are a pair of pistols.
  • Harmless Villain: See Guns Are Worthless above. E. Gadd doesn't even register Cherry as a threat when he and Mario run into the scientist in the middle of a fight. This does mean that he becomes a Not-So-Harmless Villain in situations where Death Is Cheap is nullified, though so far Enemy Mine has applied whenever this has happened.
  • Hate at First Sight: Immediately gets off on the wrong foot with MX due to friendly fire.
  • Hidden Depths: Between his Mercy Kill of Lucas and his willingness to partake in a Batman Gambit with Mario to save him when it requires dropping one of his guns into an endless void, it seems that Cherry isn't as one-dimensionally evil as he'd perhaps like you to believe.
  • Mercy Kill: He permanently kills Lucas in the multiverse hub at the end of Beyond the Bounds to prevent MX from dragging the kid back into eternal torment (and by proxy, preventing Cherry and the rest from having to fight off MX right after a heated battle with Codename).
  • Mid-Battle Tea Break: When he and Mario run into E. Gadd in Mario VS MX 2 in the middle of fighting and the latter offers to show them a new invention of his, the two of them drop their battle and follow along.
  • Sdrawkcab Speech: All his voice clips are reversed from Mario's. Mario & The Third Party reveals this is also just how he talks, though everyone can understand him.
  • Sibling Rivalry: He's not fond of his Darksi Clone "brother" Mr. L. In fact, the only reason he's willing to team up with the latter in Beyond the Bounds is that his reward for completing the mission is to never have to hear from Mr. L ever again.
    Emma Harris 
The current CEO of the company AIROM. She was present when Tally broke out of the facility and worked to cover up the incident and recover her company's reputation. She then has her employees get to work on a Mario simulation that requires gathering real Marios from different universes...
  • Arc Villain: Of Across the Marioverse.
  • Nice Job Fixing It, Villain: As the Marios break into the simulation core in Mario VS The Cursor, she tries to prevent them from destroying the simulation by shutting it down with them still in it. Instead of deleting them, however, this ejects them all into the main dimension, where they're able to stage a direct attack on AIROM.
  • Not Worth Killing: As she rants at Mario for him and his team destroying her company's progress at the end of BREAKING THE MARIOVERSE, Mario quietly walks away, even as she states her intention to start over. Of course, neither of them were aware that Land Mario had destroyed her computer already.
  • Pointy-Haired Boss: Her immediate instinct whenever something goes wrong is usually to tell her employees to go call some specific other employee with the required specialty to fix the problem. She's willing to do things herself near the end of the Across the Marioverse arc, though.
  • Slowly Slipping Into Evil: By the end of Across the Marioverse, she decides to abandon her morals altogether. Around this time, her icon on the Pixelcraftian site changed from "Background Character" to "Villain".
  • Well-Intentioned Extremist: While it's not explicitly said what the simulation AIROM is developing would do to help society, she believes her company's work is beneficial for the future. If she has to sacrifice multiple heroes in the process, so be it.

Across the Marioverse main cast

    In general 
A group of additional Marios, all from their own alternate universes, that join Mario and Flash Mario as the main cast of the Across the Marioverse story arc.
  • Alternate Self: All of them besides Mora are Mario, just from different universes and timelines.
  • Shout-Out: A number of the Marios come from lesser-known individual fan projects.
  • Teleporter Accident: Emma Harris forces all of them sans Land Mario into a beta test simulation in BREAKING THE MARIOVERSE, where they accidentally end up fused into one body. Throughout the final battle, they glitch between each other's forms and occasionally swap limbs (and weapons).
  • The Voiceless: The only Marios in the group who can talk are Flash Mario, SMG4 Mario, and Land Mario.
    Mario (Level Up) 
The star of Level UP who crosses over with this universe's Mario for a number of special occasions.
  • A Day in the Limelight: Mario and the AI Apocalypse mainly focuses on his quest to save his team. The video thumbnail is even designed to look like a Level UP thumbnail.
  • Bubble Gun: Gets a Bubble Flower in 11x Mario Power-Up Calamity.
  • The Cameo: He gets swapped out with Mario in a brief gag in Mario's P-Switch Calamity.
  • Defeat Equals Explosion: Randomly explodes instead of just being KO'd when Mario knocks him out of the arena in Mario VS Mario.
  • Graceful Loser: Accepts defeat in Mario VS Mario and shakes hands with Mario amicably.
  • One-Steve Limit: Averted. He's established to be a different character from "Level Mario" from Stupidly Overrated Object Show, the latter being retconned to being a duplicate of this character.
  • Playing with Fire: Is able to use fire-based attacks as a default.
  • Weapon Specialization: He's more used to his Super Smash Bros.-based moveset and isn't as knowledgeable when it comes to power-ups.
    Mario (NES) 
A Mario hailing from a copy of the original Super Mario Bros.. The countless AI Mario clones in the AIROM simulation are based on him.
  • Emergent Human: His sentience is notably set to "0.5" instead of "1" like everyone else.
  • Hat of Flight: Equips a Propeller Box in 11x Mario Power-Up Calamity.
  • Limited Animation: In order to distinguish him from the main Mario, NES Mario is specifically limited to the original sprite sheet of Mario from Super Mario Bros. He's allowed to put a Propeller Block over his sprite, though.
  • Mythology Gag: Getting a Gold Flower while he's small in 11x Mario Power-Up Calamity just turns him into Super Mario, since in Super Mario Bros., picking up a Fire Flower while small does the same thing (besides the fact that the NES sprite sheet wouldn't have a Gold Mario sprite).
    Mario (Calamity) 
A Mario with a particular obsession over destroying a castle.
    Morio 
A strange Mario who trails the rest of the group, only to show up in a completely different location with two other Marios. His movement tends to be rather erratic, as if he doesn't follow the rules of the universe.
  • Achievements in Ignorance: As the team is trying to figure out how to power up Mora when she can't even use power-ups in 11x Mario Power-Up Calamity, Morio just throws a Hammer Suit into her with such force that it actually manages to give her the suit, if only for a few seconds.
  • Beware the Silly Ones: He's an odd one for sure, but he ends up having so many moments of competence that he borders on being The Ace of the team.
  • Idiot Ball: Averted. When the team runs into Emma Harris in Super Mario: No Way Home and is instructed to follow her to return home, everyone reluctantly complies... except for Morio, who just goes "no" and blasts her, taking one of her lives. Turns out, that was the right move.
  • Know When to Fold 'Em: When Calamity Mario tries to get him to destroy the castle in Mario's Funklamity, he knows not to mess with it and just walks away.
  • Playing with Fire: He gets his hands on a Fire Flower in 11x Mario Power-Up Calamity. It notably grants him access to a pretty powerful Hand Blast.
  • Sole Survivor: Randomly stops moving in the middle of the fight in JOIN THE MARIOVERSE, which leads to the operator controlling the cursor forgetting to remove his sentience and leaving him with the rest of the Marios who did get their sentience removed.
  • Toon Physics: This already tends to apply in the series to the degree, but Morio in particular seems to operate on a different level - bouncing off of surfaces after being knocked away, outstretching his arm further than normal, turning into a burnt image when hit by fire instead of losing his powerup, the works.
    Mario (RPG) 
A Mario from Super Mario RPG with a stated expertise in timed hits.
  • An Ice Person: Gains an Ice Flower in 11x Mario Power-Up Calamity.
    Mora 
A "real world" girl who woke up trapped inside of a Mario video game. She serves as the Mario of her current dimension.
  • Badass Normal: She's unable to use power-ups, but she's just as competent as any of the other Marios.
  • Freeze-Frame Bonus: Her hammer is still near the simulation core in Mario and the AI Apocalypse after she drops it in JOIN THE MARIOVERSE. As the rest of the gang is jumping into the core in Mario VS The Cursor, you can briefly see her running for her hammer first before joining the team a little later, hammer in tow.
  • Samus Is a Girl: Since she's usually seen wearing a Mario mask, you can't really tell she's a girl. It can even be hard to tell when her mask is removed due to the 8-bit sprite style.
  • The Smurfette Principle: She's the only female member of the Across The Marioverse team.
    Mario (Wrecking Crew) 
A Mario from an alternate universe where he's more of a carpenter than a plumber. True to his occupation, he can be seen utilizing basic materials he finds to his advantage on a few occasions.
  • Absurdly Sharp Claws: Comes with the Cat Suit he gains in 11x Mario Power-Up Calamity.
  • Decoy Getaway: Constructs a dummy with a red cap to take a blow from Emma Harris in BREAKING THE MARIOVERSE, letting him slip past her.
    Mario (Land) (spoilers unmarked!) 
A black-and-white Mario based on Super Mario Land... or so you'd think. He's eventually revealed to actually be from an older Pixelcraftian video, Muda Muda Kingdom.
  • Canon Character All Along: He was originally implied to be a new character based on Super Mario Land, but he turns out to be a returning character from an old one-off video.
  • Fighting Spirit: As you'd expect from a character originating from a video titled Muda Muda Kingdom.
  • Gratuitous Japanese: Commands his Fighting Spirit with this in BREAKING THE MARIOVERSE.
  • Red Herring Shirt: At first, he seems like a less important member of the Across the Marioverse team, but he ends up being a major player during the arc finale.
  • Spring Coil: Gets a Spring Mushroom in 11x Mario Power-Up Calamity.
  • Suddenly Speaking: He's silent for the majority of the Across the Marioverse arc before finally speaking in BREAKING THE MARIOVERSE. This doubles as The Reveal that he's the same Mario from Muda Muda Kingdom.
AIROM Employee: You're not supposed to be here, intruder.
Mario (Land): That's why I'm here.
    Mario (SMG4) 
A Mario from the web series SMG4 who joins the team a bit later than the rest.
  • Adaptational Nice Guy: He'll deliberately mess with some of his teammates and laugh at their misfortune, but he's much less of a jerk than he tends to be in his source material.
  • Composite Character: The Pixelcraftian site states that he's supposed to be a mix between the classic and modern incarnations of SMG4 Mario.
  • Flight: He gets a Red Star in 11x Mario Power-Up Calamity.
  • Sixth Ranger: He's the only member of the main Across the Marioverse cast who doesn't show up in Into the MarioVerse, being a new addition to the group in JOIN THE MARIOVERSE.
  • Small Role, Big Impact: Though he doesn't contribute too much to the story arc, he knocks Level UP Mario into a different portal early on, which spares the latter from getting his sentience removed during the fight with the cursor and sets him up to go save those who did.
  • You Don't Look Like You: He's depicted as a Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga sprite instead of a 3D model, which may be a Mythology Gag related to how Pixelcraftian animated the Super Mario Bros. Z portion of the SMG4 video If Mario Was In... Newgrounds, where SMG4 Mario was portrayed as a Superstar Saga sprite.

Other

    Steve 
The default player character of Minecraft who meets Mario when his world starts to get mixed together with the Mushroom Kingdom. He later becomes a contestant of Super Mario Super Challenge.
  • Belated Injury Realization: Doesn't realize he's broken his legs from a high fall until after it's pointed out to him in Overcompetitive Simon Says. Unfortunately for him, the next Simon Says just happened to be "move right". When Gweenie asks if they won afterwards, Steve quietly surrounds himself in dirt.
  • History with Celebrity: He seems to know a number of Minecraft Youtubers, who invite the Mario crew to a game of Minecraft Manhunt through him in Minecraft Manhunt VS Super Mario Bros.
  • Innocent Bystander: Amidst the final battle of the Beyond the Bounds story arc, a Bob-Omb gets knocked into a stray portal, lands in front of his house, and blows him up.
  • Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Accidentally shoots Gweenie in Chasing the Speed Limit when aiming for the Bean Tag Team, resulting in his team losing the round.
  • Planet of Steves: Considering the number of "Steves" that Steve? has at his disposal in The Return of Steve?, there seem to be many, many like him.
  • Screw This, I'm Outta Here: After struggling through the levels of Super Mario Bros. 3 due to incompatible game mechanics in Minecraft Steve VS Super Mario Bros. 3, when Peach jokingly states that Your Princess Is in Another Castle!, he just quits the game.
    Wario 
Mario's portly, money-loving arch-rival who tends to get himself in trouble in his attempts at getting rich.
  • Adaptational Slimness: Looks a lot skinnier than most interpretations of the character, courtesy of his 8-bit sprite.
  • Distressed Dude: He gets captured by Pizzaface in Mario VS Pizza Tower, forcing Mario to go through the titular Pizza Tower to get him out.
  • Suddenly Voiced: He starts having original voice lines courtesy of Shawnster from Mario's Spaceship Attack onwards.
  • Taking You with Me: Grabs onto Golden Goomba just as he's eliminated from Super Mario Super Challenge, warping both of them out. This forces his team to play a player down until Golden Goomba can be retrieved.
    Professor E. Gadd 
The Mushroom Kingdom's local Gadgeteer Genius who's interested in alternate universes and simulations in this continuity.
  • Big Damn Heroes: Manages to save Mario with a Super Star just before MX kills him in Mario VS MX before shutting down the simulation, allowing the plumber to escape unscathed.
  • Unwitting Instigator of Doom: His simulation research gives birth to Syobon, who turns evil, and allows both him and MX to escape into the real world to assist Codename in Beyond the Bounds. On top of that, the Pixelcraftian site states that his experiments resulted in Solve being stranded in the digital world. Solve would manage to make it out alive, though he doesn't last long afterwards.
  • Screw the Money, I Have Rules!: He's been getting multiple letters from Emma Harris offering to pay him large sums of coins in exchange for his silence regarding Tally's escape from AIROM, but it's implied he's turned her down each time.
  • Well-Intentioned Extremist: Downplayed, but MX's inner monologue implies that E. Gadd has the power to delete MX entirely but isn't doing so for some likely research-related reason despite how dangerous he is.
    Future Mario (spoilers unmarked!) 
The Mario that went through the events of Gate to the Multiverse. After failing to save Luigi from dying at the Otherworld Leader's hands, he manages to tear the leader's arm off and use it to travel back in time to prevent the events of the story arc from ever happening.
  • The Bus Came Back: Returns for the final battle of Beyond the Bounds.
  • Good Is Not Soft: He can get pretty brutal with the enemies he faces.
  • Improbable Weapon User: He uses the Otherworld Leader's severed arm as his weapon of choice.
  • One-Man Army: While he was backed by an army of his own, he was mostly fighting a large chunk of the Otherworld Leader's army on his lonesome in Super Mario War.
  • Set Right What Once Went Wrong: He goes back in time to prevent the events of Gate to the Multiverse happening, prioritizing keeping Luigi from ever coming into contact with the Otherworld Cherry.
  • Significant Wardrobe Shift: He switches out his old red overalls for blue after Super Mario War.
  • Suddenly Speaking: He talks normally at the end of Beyond the Bounds, something his present day self doesn't tend to do.
  • Villain Killer: He's killed both Otherworld Codes 2 and 3 - twice in the latter's case.
    Lucas (spoilers unmarked!) 
The main protagonist of Mario '85 whose soul was trapped in the game courtesy of MX. He manages to escape to the Mushroom Kingdom with the help of Solve and sets out to assist Mario in Beyond the Bounds...
  • Death by Adaptation: Technically he was already dead in the source material, but here he's Killed Off for Real within his Luigi avatar body without being stuck in a Resurrection/Death Loop.
  • Go Out with a Smile: It's a little hard to tell, but he seems to be smiling as Cherry is about to put him out of his misery. The filename of the image of his corpse in MX's inner monologue seems to support this:
    I laugh at your failure. I don't fear you anymore.
  • Mercy Kill: Cherry shoots him while in the multiverse hub, where a Game Over means permanent death, so that MX isn't able to drag him back into his game. Toad and Mario would've preferred protecting Lucas, though that likely would've resulted in a constant struggle to keep MX from taking Lucas back, meaning this was tragically for the best.
  • Off with His Head!: Averted, unlike the original game, as MX doesn't get to kill Lucas and put his head on a pike, though he does snap Lucas's corpse in half in frustration afterwards.
  • Small Role, Big Impact: He only lasts two episodes before he's Killed Off for Real, but his death means MX doesn't get to torment him anymore, which acts as a personal motivation for him to get back at the Mario crew and Cherry.
  • Younger Than They Look: Like Gweenie and Frey, he's a young boy with the appearance of Luigi, though in his case it's not by choice.
    Solve 
A Toad who formerly worked under E. Gadd before an accident left him stranded in the digital realm. He found himself in the Mario 85 simulation, where he met and befriended Lucas.
  • All There in the Manual: Not much is said about him in Beyond the Bounds, so the details of his employment under E. Gadd are found on the Pixelcraftian site.
  • Early-Bird Cameo: He briefly appears in Mario VS MX before his proper introduction in Mario's Prison Escape.
  • Impaled with Extreme Prejudice: Codename makes an example out of him by stabbing him with a spike on the handle of his hammer.
  • We Hardly Knew Ye: He's introduced and dies within the span of two episodes.
    Peppino 
A pizza chef who's even willing to make his own deliveries. He doesn't take kindly to a certain Pizzaface trying to destroy his pizzeria.
  • Ambiguously Human: Mario first encounters him in the world of Pizza Tower through E. Gadd's simulation, which should imply he's a sentient, but later on in Peppino VS Super Mario Bros., he's shown living in the Mushroom Kingdom (as an 8-bit sprite as opposed to his original appearance, unlike Unfair Mario) delivering pizzas, so he may as well just be another Mushroom Kingdom resident. Alternatively, these are two separate Peppinos and the former is a sentient while the latter is a human.
  • Big Damn Heroes: Saves Mario from the Fake Mario clone in the nick of time before teaming up with him to defeat Pizzaface.
  • Curb-Stomp Battle: He manages to parry Bowser's fire attack before swiftly defeating the Koopa King in Peppino VS Super Mario Bros.
  • No-Holds-Barred Beatdown: Just like in the source material, Peppino unleashes a fury of punches towards Pizzaface when the latter ejects from his pizza mech.
  • What the Hell, Hero?: Bowser has this reaction to him after the chef destroys his resources (read: the stages of Super Mario Bros.) just to deliver a pizza.
    Luggo
