History Characters / SMBMMarioBros

* NoRespectGuy: Mario, who is usually a FunPersonified kind of person in the games, has to deal with his family and former boss not looking fondly on his job as a plumber, and just being treated as unimportant in general. That changes when he winds up in the Mushroom Kingdom by accident.
* PintSizedPowerhouse: He's small even by human standards, to say nothing of how much he's dwarfed by many of the enemies he faces in the Mushroom Kingdom, but face them he does.

* ItsPersonal: [[spoiler:Mario grows to hate Bowser on a personal level, because out of all the bullies he's faced in the past who have harassed his brother Luigi, he sees Bowser as the worst of the worst. As he and Luigi are about to punch Bowser to kingdom come with the power of the Super Star, Mario has an ''absolutely'' '''''livid''''' expression on his face. Considering he captured Luigi and tried to sacrifice him to a horrific, fiery death, you can't really blame him.

* CowardlyLion: [[spoiler:Despite being terrified of Bowser, seeing Mario keep standing up to him in the climax gave him the push to save his brother's life by blocking Bowser's flame breath with a manhole cover.]]

* MrFanservice: According to the [[https://nypost.com/2023/04/11/super-mario-bros-fans-are-losing-their-minds-over-sexy-luigi/ New York Post blog]], fans of the Super Mario franchise (including [[EstrogenBrigade female viewers]]) have been hitting the internet with their thoughts on just how sexy he ''really'' is. It helps that Luigi's taller and more athletic than Mario, along with having an air of innocence.

* PrettyBoy: Especially without his hat sometimes.

* LightningBruiser: This is what they fully amount to when Mario and Luigi [[spoiler: are given power from the Super Star. Both of them were struck by a powerful kick from Bowser with the street behind them erupting with shattered concrete with no signs of reacting, and they've gotten so powerful in strength that the plumbers decided to respond with two uppercuts that sent him sailing all the way back to his troops where he ordered them all to destroy them at all costs. As soon as the duo started running, they've gathered enough speed to utterly bulldoze through a number of Bowser's henchmen and utilized many acrobatics to dodge any attack from Bowser. Their final attack on Bowser was so devastating that both of their [[DivingKick diving stomps]] annihilated Bowser's fortress.]]

* HeroesLoveDogs: DoubleSubverted. When the bros first encountered their customer's dog, it was nothing but a hindrance and threat to them. After saving its life, the dog gained a begrudging respect for them, [[spoiler:even doing the dog equivalent of saluting them during the final battle]].

* NiceJobBreakingItHero: [[spoiler: He prevents the Bomber Bill from destroying the Mushroom Kingdom by leading it to the Warp Pipe which he came through in the first place. The Bomber Bill gets sucked in and blows up whilst in the Warp Zone. This creates a riptide effect which not only causes Mario to lose his Tanooki Suit, but sucks himself, Luigi, Peach, Donkey Kong, Toad and ''Bowser's entire fortess'' in. They all end up back in Brooklyn, where Bowser proceeds to rampage.]]

* TheDogBitesBack: Spends most of the movie imprisoned by Bowser [[spoiler: who plots to kill him in front of everyone during his and Peach's wedding]], but during [[spoiler: the final battle in Brooklyn, when Luigi sees Bowser about to kill Mario and friends, this causes Luigi to immediately stand up to his captor and help the heroes finally defeat him.]]

* AdaptationalBadass: Specifically in terms of [[IronButtMonkey durability]], as he shrugs off injuries that would've lost his video game counterpart many, many lives. [[spoiler:He even is much more of a BadassAdorable when was a baby, as seen during a flashback to his and Luigi's infancy.]]

* AllLovingHero: While Mario's less of a pushover about it, both are consistently shown to be incredibly kind or at least compassionate to others, even to people they have just met or have wronged them. They both save Francis the Dog from falling to his death despite him attacking them, Mario rescues DK twice despite DK giving him a hard time, and Luigi [[spoiler:saves Spike during Bowser's rampage despite him bullying him, even giving him a friendly greeting after doing so.]]
