History Characters / MarioAndLuigi

* DeadlyDodging: True of all enemies, but their giant Bob-Omb attack deserves special mention since it is easy to dodge and deals massive damage even to themselves. It is quite probable players will win the battle simply by letting them KO themselves [[TacticalSuicideBoss with that move.]]

* DragonInChief: Not quite in the original, where he's just a particularly noisy-but-loyal henchman to Cackletta, his last words notwithstanding. His final speech in both versions has him realize this, and he is the one who resurrects her in both versions as Bowletta. But in the 3DS remake, it's more obvious than ever that Cackletta needs him a lot more than the other way around. In the final boss fight of the Minions' sidestory he defies a direct order from Cackletta to take down the Minions once and for all. Instead, he fights the minions with an army of mechs made in his own image, and outright tells her to her face that he's busy with scheming.

* EvilIsHammy: He goes off the walls with his speech, especially when talking about how he's going to defeat the Mario Bros. or Bowser.

** Of ''VideoGame/MinionQuest'', first fought in a long, yet standard battle in his main form and then fought with his robot army in his second form.

* {{Foil}}: To Bowser. Bowser is strong but doesn't act super smart most of the time though he has his moments of massive brilliance, whereas Fawful is smart but physically weak and relies on his equipment and outside factors to fight his battles. Bowser rules his minions through a combination of fear and respect with his charisma whereas Fawful brainwashes everyone into worshipping him.

* GadgeteerGenius: On top of his magic powers, he invents many quirky machines, such as the Peach-bots and Vacuum Helmet. He even turns ''Peach's Castle'' into a HumongousMecha near the end of the game.

* IShallTauntYou: Loves to excessively taunt and ridicule his enemies, almost to the point of [[{{Troll}} trolling]] them. His constant target is Bowser, who he goes out of his way to anger.

* MightyGlacier: In ''Dream Team'', Sergeant Guy has the most HP and POW, but is the slowest of the bunch.

* SkippableBoss: Beating Jojora is optional. If you defeat her friend first, she'll throw a fit and leave. In the remake, she drops the Revenge Jeans if defeated, which is the only way to obtain them.

* DualBoss: he fights alongside Popple twice in ''Superstar Saga,'' his younger self in ''Partners in Time,'' and his Paper counterpart in ''Paper Jam.''

'''Crossovers:''' ''Characters/PunchOut'' | ''Characters/SuperSmashBros'' | ''Characters/MarioAndSonicAtTheOlympicGames'' | ''Characters/{{Skylanders}}'' | ''Characters/MarioPlusRabbidsKingdomBattle''\\

A crazed inventor who constantly spouts strange similes and garbled English, he first appeared as Cackletta's right-hand man, aiding her in her schemes. He was seemingly killed near the end of ''Superstar Saga'', but in fact survived, laying low in the sewers of Peach's Castle, running a badge shop while plotting his return to glory. He carried out these plans in ''Bowser's Inside Story'', returning as the main antagonist, causing the Blorb outbreak, and taking control of both Bowser's and Peach's castles, as well as unearthing an ancient evil in order to use its power for his own ends. Of course, in taking Bowser's Castle, he angered the Koopa King; a mistake that ultimately led to his downfall.

* LargeHam: Quite literally, too. He makes a show out of every scene with him. His first ( proper) boss fight is even a stage performance.

* BuffySpeak: His manner of speaking, to Fawful’s IntentionalEngrishForFunnies.

* TheDragon: He's Fawful's second-in-command and is his main muscle.

* LargeHam: Quite literally, too. He makes a show out of every scene with him. His first ([[TutorialBoss proper]]) boss fight is even a stage performance.
* LaughablyEvil: Wouldn’t be a minion of Fawful without it. He even has a bizarre manner of speaking and one scene has him pissed offthat Junker (for some reason) has a dance button.

%%* BuffySpeak
%%* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: "Sense is for the weak."
%%* TheDragon: He's Fawful's second-in-command.

%%* LargeHam: Quite literally, too.%%ZCE
%%* LaughablyEvil: Very much so.%%How?

* TheUnfought: For the Mario Bros., who only encounter him once at the very end of the game and end up fighting the Junker robot instead.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: His fate following being frozen in a block of ice is unknown.

%%* BadassCape

%%* CardCarryingVillain

%%* FangsAreEvil

* TheHeavy: Played with. He drives most of the plot along at the beginning, but after Neo Bowser Castle is summoned, most of the direct conflict comes from Bowser's [[BadassArmy Koopa Troop]]. Though he is talked about, Antasma only enters the stage again in the final parts of the game, along with Bowser.
* HumiliationConga: Betrayed by Bowser, mocked by Dreambert, and beaten by Mario all in the span of a minute.

* MakeMeWannaShout: He can fire supersonic waves as a bat.

%%* PurpleIsPowerful

* VillainousBreakdown: Bowser's betrayal makes him go from confident to screeching mad as he vows revenge on the Koopa King. He then attacks Dreambert in retaliation.

* IntentionalEngrishForFunny: Fawful's most defining trait.

* FrenchJerk: [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]]; he's generally a NiceGuy and is only callous towards the Mario Bros (he even apologizes to them immediately afterward).

Two master blacksmiths who forge the Mario bros hammers, and later upgrade them.

* UnclePennybags: Boddle uses his money to build the yoshis a theater and is willing to listen to the Mario bros about giving them the beanstar piece.

A large, speech-impaired, sidestepper-like hermit crab who lives in Gwarhar Lagoon. He finds a piece of the Beanstar after it breaks apart and with help from his Beanish friends uses it as a star for his Christmas-themed shell. He gets into a fight with the Bros when they come to get the Star Piece, but amends are later made when they replace the lost star with Spangle, a small starfish in need of a stage.

* PennyPinchingCrab: He's a gigantic hermit crab obsessed with hoarding trinkets with which to decorate his shell: the crowning piece of his collection is one of the fragments of the Beanstar placed on the top of his shell, which leads to trouble when Mario and Luigi come looking for it. He's also very narcissistic -- his battle is initiated when he gets angry that his companions are paying more attention to the famous brothers than to him and his decorations. He does eventually give up the star fragment, and the bros make peace with him later in the game by offering up Spangle, a starfish musician looking for a stage, as a replacement star.

* CombatPragmatist: Despite all the powers Bowser's body grants her, she still has a Time Bob-omb set up off-screen to take down the bros if they manage to wear her down in combat to ensure her victory. She actually gets pretty close to winning this way, knocking the Bros out and swallowing them whole. Just about the only reason she still loses in the end is because they're [[{{Determinator}} The Mario]] [[NoNonsenseNemesis Bros.]]

* DarkActionGirl: While she doesn’t fight the Mario Bros directly unlike her sister, she can fire energy balls at them and use her throne to fire lasers at them and extend its legs to walk around and stomp on the Bros.

* HeartBeatDown: She can conjure a heart-shaped stone during her second fight. The image on it signifies which of the Bros it's going to hit.

* {{Sizeshifter}}: She can change size at will, and one of her attacks is to shrink one of the Bros and trample them.

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He's gruff and 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.

* BunnyEarsLawyer: They're pretty competent tour guides, teaching the Mario bros multiple field moves. They're also obsessed with everything BEEF!

** In a non-combat example, one section of Mt. Pajamaja involves the bros. sending the Massifs flying to destroy some obstacles.
* FetchQuest: In order to find Big Massif in Dreamy Wakeport, the bros must collect medals from each of his disciples.

** Also, notice that they never experience jealousy over being outperformed, instead they're impressed, deeming the Mega Pi'illos as "muscle lords" for opening the gate that they couldn't budge, and Mario and Luigi as "mountain maniacs" and "prime steak" for having completed tasks that the Massif Bros couldn't and even gives the Bros credit for finding the treasure. It makes sense when you remember they want everyone to be their "beefiest".

* GetBackHereBoss: For the last phase of its battle, the Bros have to chase Mammoshka down and keep jumping on it until the shell is broken.

* 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.

* SuddenNameChange: Twice, in fact! In the Spanish translation, he goes from [[NoNameGiven Esbirro Jijí]] in ''Superstar Saga'', to Fawful in ''Partners in Time'', and finally Gracóvitz (a transliteration of his Japanese name) in ''Bowser's Inside Story''.

* RatedMForManly: These guys are chock-full of BEEF.

* [[{{UsefulNotes/JapanesePronouns}} Japanese Pronouns]]: Uses the [[{{Keigo}} ridiculously-polite]] "watakushi" in the Japanese version of the game.
* {{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.

* SesquipedalianLoquaciousness: Prone to this. He'll even go as far as to [[PerfectlyCromulentWord make up words that sound complex]] [[BuffySpeak but are merely extensions of simpler words]].

* EvilVersusOblivion: Represents oblivion to Bowser's evil.

* KansaiRegionalAccent: His true manner of speech in the original version. Translated as TotallyRadical.

* TheDarkChick: Kaley is "the professional cutie of the BFF".

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Goes into a more permanent sleep nearing the end of the game, so his reaction to having his stone destroyed is never seen. This also makes you wonder if there's a Dark Stone spirit and what happened to it.

* AlienAmongUs: Apparently, some shroobs either managed to evade the Koopa Troop or escape from their confinement in Bowser's Castle. One appears in Fawful Theater's audience in ''Bowser's Inside Story'', and what appears to be an "alien sighting" picture appears in ''Dream Team''.
