History Characters / MarioAndLuigi

* HundredPercentAdorationRating: He's regarded very highly by the Beanbean Kingdom citizens for his mission work and generally being very cool.

* HundredPercentAdorationRating: She is apparently quite beloved by her subjects, which is shown during ''Dream Team'''s ChainOfDeals when you must give a photo of Queen Bean to a homesick Beanish to cheer him up.

* MeaningfulName: His name comes from "phantasma", which is Latin for phantom or apparition.

* EvenTheGuysWantHim: His interactions with Luigi tend to have a lot of HomoeroticSubtext as is, but it's especially present during the ending, where Luigi attempts to hug him like Toadsworth and Lady Lima are doing, only for Peasley to fly upwards and cause him to [[FaceFault land on his face]], leaving Luigi a sobbing mess.

* PteroSoarer: A toothy, dragon-winged, hook-beaked pseudo-pterosaur.

%%* LetMeGetThisStraight:

%%* CharlesAtlasSuperpower:

%%* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: When not brainwashed by Cackletta.

%%* SiblingTeam

%%* SiblingTeam

%%* DoubleEntendre: Pretty much all of their dialogue is this.

[[caption-width-right:325:As Bowletta]]

%%* DarkIsEvil: As Dark Fawful.

-->'''Zeekeeper:''' DREAMBERT, MY MAN!

* AmbiguouslyGay: As said by Dreambert, Bedsmith likes to nap on people. But even the prince's reactions make this trope resurface. Doesn't help with Bedsmith swooning at every magnificent event and declaring that he needs to nap on the bros.

* FlyingBrick: Literally. She's a Flying unit in ''Bowser Jr.'s Journey'', and has [[StoneWall very large amounts of health.]]

* GratuitousFrench: Just like Broque Monsieur she peppers her dialogue with French in the English version.

[[folder:Bowser]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bowser_m&l.png]]
->''"Did someone just page the King of Awesome?"''

The proud, bombastic and arrogant King of the Koopas, [[Characters/SuperMarioBrosBowser Bowser]] is the brothers' recurring nemesis thanks to his constant attempts to take over the Mushroom Kingdom. He tries to do just this in ''Superstar Saga'', but quickly finds himself outmatched by the villain of the day and bereft of his memories. From then onward, he finds himself cooperating the Bros. more often than not, although not always knowingly, to deal with the succession of villains and invaders trying to conquer the Mushroom Kingdom -- because the kingdom is ''his'', thank you very much, and he won't tolerate some two-bit newcomers coming to snatch it from right under his nose.

[[folder:Broque Madame]]
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/broque_madame.png]]

A lovelorn female Brock with some ''very'' bad back problems. She and Broque Monsieur once dated.

* AscendedExtra: In ''Bowser's Inside Story'', her only purpose is to give an optional sidequest for Bowser. In ''Dream Team'', she helps hide Peach from the BigBadDuumvirate and also owns a very posh shop. In the remake of ''Bowser's Inside Story'', she serves as a boss in ''Bowser Jr.'s Journey'' and she is the only person able to mix the ingredients to make Skeletone Formula:D.
* AttackOfThe50FootWhatever: She becomes really big in Luigi's Luiginary Attack dream challenges.
* BigBeautifulWoman: Well, as beautiful as a living brick can be, anyway.
* FlyingBrick: Literally. She's a Flying unit in ''Bowser Jr.'s Journey'', and has [[StoneWall very large amounts of health.]]
* GratuitousFrench: Just like Broque Monsieur she peppers her dialogue with French in the English version.
* OddFriendship: ''Bowser Jr.'s Journey'' establishes that she is an old friend of Kamek, of all people.
* SelfDuplication: Each Luiginary Attack challenge consists of you plowing through numerous dream copies of her.
* VerbalTic: "Hee..."

[[folder:Kuzzle]]
[[quoteright:46:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mlbisbjjkuzzle.png]]
An elderly Koopa Troopa who lives on Plack Beach, he once held one of the Star Cures before Bowser stole it and all of his furniture [[DisproportionateRetribution after getting frustrated trying to figure out one of his signature jigsaw puzzles]].

* CoolOldGuy: The most humble and down-to-earth of the sages tasked with holding the Star Cures.
* PunnyName: Most translations make his name some sort of pun on "puzzle".
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Chakron]]
[[quoteright:150:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/chakron.png]]

An octopoid ascetic meditating on top of a mountain near Plack Beach, he is first introduced as the creator of the Chakroads that Bowser can use to teleport across the Mushroom Kingdom. Later, he is revealed to hold one of the Star Cures, which he agrees to give to Mario and Luigi if they can somehow break him out of the meditative pose he has held constantly for 1,000 years.
----

* BrainwashedAndCrazy: Is turned into a violent and mindless monster after she ingests belly blech worm courtesy of Cackletta.

* HulkingOut: The apparent effect of the belly blech worm is to [[TemporaryBulkChange force most of the woman's body mass into her arms and shoulders]] and drive her absolutely bonkers.

* DeathFromAbove: When Bowletta is low on health, they will start using an attack which causes star-shaped projectiles to rain down. The stars are ColorCodedForYourConvenience - the red ones are aimed at Mario, the green ones are aimed at Luigi, and the purple (yellow in the remake) ones don't hit anyone and are just for show.
* DemonicPossession: Cackletta's body dies about halfway through the game, but her spirit possesses Bowser, creating the mind-scarring...''thing''...that is Bowletta.

* {{Keigo}}: Uses polite diction and the pronoun "watakushi" in the Japanese script. This, combined with some of the unusual sentence structures Stuffwell uses, has the effect of making him come across as a detached observer who describes things the way an encyclopedia might, often to amusingly over-the-top and whimsical effect - something that was preserved in the English localization in the form of Stuffwell's SesquipedalianLoquaciousness.

* ColourCodedForYourConvenience: Beef, Kaley and Dieter have a red, blue and yellow motif - and sure enough, Beef is a Melee unit (red), Kaley is Flying (blue) and Dieter is Ranged (yellow).
* TheCorrupter: They make Morton eat a mix of the Skeletone:D and a frog 10 times more poisonous than a Poison Mushroom - Malatone:X, that turns him against Jr. They do this to the other Minions, as well as themselves in the final battle.

* PowerUpFood: Their creation, Malatone:X. When given during a battle, it fully heals and buffs the consumer's stats - but at the cost of their sanity. Overlaps with PsychoSerum.

* TheQuietOne: Beef is very much the strong, silent type, to the point that Dieter and Kaley are surprised when he does chime in - and it later turns out that wasn't even him at all.

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He didn't really need to play a wild goose chase with the bros just to lend them his pillow, though he's mostly the "Heart of Gold" part. His dreamy counterpart being a "rival" going after the bunny not knowing the Bros were after the nightmare chunk while still helping the bros with attack pieces, training them on how to use Luiginary attacks, and healing them completely at a few points reflects his real world interaction with the bros.
* LaserGuidedKarma: His unnecessary getaway from the brothers causes a whole lot of trouble in his beloved park. First, he gets stuck in the park's main attraction - a fountain - and then is pushed off using high water pressure, which also causes the fountain to skyrocket all the way above the island [[CameraAbuse to break the player's top screen]]. Then, the fountain falls down on the park's maintenance robot which causes it to have a malfunction and go irate at the administrator's hut. Finally, Brickle tries to calm down his creation and is mercilessly tossed away like a ragdoll. When all it's over, he's ''crushed''. In the end he admits it was his own fault that the HumiliationConga happened and apologizes to the Bros for all the trouble.

* InfinityPlusOneSword: Summoned by the Zee Egg, Mario's secret Bros. Attack earned by saving all Pi'illos, the Wake Orb Zeekeeper fires is fairly tricky to master - but on an Excellent attack, the hammer-based attack causes an explosion that hits a sizable radius around the target.

--> "DREAMBERT, MY MAN!"

->''"Did someone just page the king of awesome?"''

* ContrastingSequelAntagonist: Cackletta was a magical witch with [[GreenAndMean sickly green skin]] who had the goal of awakening the Bean Star using Princess Peach's voice in order to grant her wish for [[TakeOverTheWorld world domination]]. In spite of her horrific crimes, she was only able to do so much damage in one area and only had one henchman under her wing. Fitting to her game's tone, she often had a goofy undertone to her. Princess Shroob is a [[PurpleIsPowerful purple]] alien who relies on advanced technology rather than magic and is played far more sinisterly. Her goal is to kill Princess Peach and wipe out the Mushroom Kingdom so the Shroobs can rule over its ashes, and quickly lays waste to it with her entire army at her disposal. While what she wants to do with the Cobalt Star isn't made clear, its implied that she's trying to keep it apart to prevent her sister from being freed and thus remain in power. While Cackletta was killed halfway through her game, she remains in power via possessing Bowletta before the second half and then becoming the final boss before being KilledOffForReal. Princess Shroob on the other hand, stays alive until the climax where she fights the Bros. as the penultimate boss, in which she then dies and the final boss role is fulfilled by her sister instead.

* JerkassToOne: He's a very friendly fellow under normal circumstances, but should you take the Mario Bros. to his shop in Dimble Wood in ''Bowser's Inside Story'', he'll admit that as a block-collector, he dislikes the Mario Bros for hitting every block they find and "de-valuing" them and will refuse to sell them anything. While he's able to entertain and be hospitable towards the Bros. as a Tour Guide in his appearance in ''Dream Team'', he can still be found complaining about the Bros. to his co-workers.

* AdaptationalEarlyAppearance: Debuts in ''Bowser's Inside Story'', but the remake of ''Superstar Saga'' has him replace Psycho-Kamek in Little Fungitown as the one who helps Luigi feel braver by hypnotizing him into thinking he's Mario.

* {{Retcon}}: In the remake of ''Superstar Saga'', he replaces Psycho Kamek.
