[[foldercontrol]]
[[folder:Main Party]]
!!Mario
TheHero of the Mushroom Kingdom leaps into action once again to save the world.
* BadassMustache: Mario's mustache earns admiration from his fans and scorn from his enemies at various points in the game.
* DropTheHammer
* DudeWheresMyRespect: Generally averted. Almost everyone you meet knows who Mario is, and they treat him with the respect deserved by one who saves the world for a day job.
* EvolvingAttack: Though he learns six magic attacks, they're basically just powered up versions of the two base attacks: Jump, Super Jump, Ultra Jump, and Fire Orb, Super Flame, Ultra Flame.
* TheHero
* GoodOldFisticuffs: His base unarmed attack and a few of his weapons are punch combos.
* HeroicMime: He pantomimes, even to the point of ''[[NarrativeShapeshifting shapeshifting]]'' into other characters to act out what he would otherwise be saying.
** {{Lampshade|Hanging}}d at the beginning by Toad asking Mario "what's with the silent treatment".
* JumpPhysics: Three of his six magic attacks.
* KleptomaniacHero: You can get called out on it - after assisting a man to his house in Rose Town, he asks if the treasure chests in his house are safe. If you tell them someone took them he's GenreSavvy enough to realize only Mario could jump high enough to get them, and you have the option to come clean about it.
** KleptomaniacHeroFoundUnderwear: Toadstool's ???.
*** Even funnier in the Japanese where it's called "Peach's XXX".
* TheMario: Not surprising.
* MegatonPunch: Mega Glove.
* NarrativeShapeshifting: He can even walk on air while doing it. He's a ''talented'' storyteller!
* PlayingWithFire: Those of his magic attacks that aren't Jump attacks.

* TheBigGuy
* BoisterousBruiser
* BookDumb: In the Japanese his speech is always in hirigana and katakana. By contrast, Geno seems to use the most kanji.
* {{Bowdlerize}}: Bowser's win pose in the Japanese version was FlippingTheBird, this was changed to an arm pump.
* DishingOutDirt: Crusher, the only spell of his that isn't SummonMagic.
* EnemyMine
* EpicFlail
* FastballSpecial: The Hurly Gloves involves chucking Mario at an enemy. Judging from the way Mario is flailing his arms around when Bowser throws him, he's never expecting it either.
* FoeYay: Play your cards right in Marrymore and you can get him to kiss Mario!
** In the same scene he asks Toadstool for a kiss when she promises one to Mario for rescuing her.
* PetTheDog: When he frees a Chain Chomp in Booster's Tower that Booster had locked up because she bit him. Gets more moments as he meets back some of his former troops across the game.
* StillTheLeader: Inverted. He is the fourth to join your group... and the only things he can influence are combat and the mooks inside his own castle.
* SummonMagic: Though his magic attacks are the worst in the game, they fall into this category with him calling Boo, Mokura and Mecha-Koopas to attack opponents.
* VillainDecay: It's right around this game that Bowser's threat level began to swerve wildly between CardCarryingVillain and IneffectualSympatheticVillain. Here he's the former, though he still manages to be pretty {{Badass}}.
!! Toadstool
The Princess of the Mushroom Kingdom has been kidnapped ''again'', but this time she isn't content to sit back and let Mario do the heroism once he rescues her.
* ArmorPiercingSlap
* BoundAndGagged: Well, bound at least. She's tied up and hanging from the ceiling in the prologue.

* FryingPanOfDoom: Her InfinityPlusOneSword
* ImprobableWeaponUser: Her arsenal includes parasols, fans, gloves, and her frying pan.

* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething
* StuffBlowingUp: Her ultimate spell, Psych Bomb.

* GoldfishPoopGang
* MiniBoss
* NoCureForEvil: Averted, he can heal himself the first time you fight him, though he only does it once.
* RecurringBoss
* WakeUpCallBoss: He's the second mini-boss in the game, and following the first you naturally wouldn't expect much. This line of thinking proves fatal if you thought to just breeze though Bandit's Way without leveling up Mario and Mallow.
!! Punchinello
A bomb-happy...thing lurking in the Moleville mines, he attacks Mario to try and get some recognition.
* {{BFB}}: King Bomb. Eep.
* DeathByIrony: He tries to summon his biggest bomb yet to blow up Mario, and it falls and crushes him.
* GiantSpaceFleaFromNowhere: Lampshaded, Mallow says when he introduces himself "Never heard of ya".
* StuffBlowingUp
!!Booster
A bizarre man living in a tower to the south, he lives a secluded life in a world of Snifits, trains, and many a minigame.
* CloudCuckooLander: He lives in a giant tower full of toys, rides around on an electric train set, and believes that princesses are prone to springing leaks when they're sad.

* PsychopathicManchild: A comedic and relatively friendly version.
* QuirkyMiniboxSquad: His Snifits
!! Johnathan "Johnny" Jones
* AlliterativeAppeal
* DefeatMeansFriendship: Though he doesn't join the party.
* DuelBoss: Optional. He challenges Mario to a one-on-one fight, but only if the player kills off all his {{Mook}} henchmen.
* EverythingIsEvenWorseWithSharks: Subverted. He isn't a bad guy at all really--he hands you the Star Piece after defeat and helps prevent Yaridovich's escape so that the party can get fight him and get the Star Piece back. Also, Mario invaded ''his'' ship to find the Star, so when you think about it he was just defending himself and his prize.
* ProngsOfPoseidon
* TurnsRed: Literally
* WorthyOpponent
!! Queen Valentina and Dodo
A vain woman who locks up the King and Queen of Nimbus land and has her pet Dodo pose as ''Prince'' Mallow so she can rule.
* BuxomBabe
* FakeKing: Er, Prince.
* {{Gainaxing}}: [[MsFanservice Every time you hit her.]] [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar How did they get away with that, anyway?]]
* MsFanservice
* NoIndoorVoice: Mallow mentions that her voice can be heard in a 10 mile radius.
!! Culex
A knight from another dimension, he planned to conquer Mario's world but found it isn't suitable to his kind, so he departs, but first asks Mario for a battle. He attacks with four elemental Crystals.
* BonusBoss
* ElementalPowers: As expected of a ''Final Fantasy''-based boss--there's the [[PlayingWithFire Fire Crystal]], [[MakingASplash Water]] [[AnIcePerson Crystal]], [[DishingOutDirt Earth Crystal]], and [[BlowYouAway Wind]] [[ShockAndAwe Crystal]].
* FluffyTheTerrible: Of the BilingualBonus variety. His name is Latin for "mosquito."

!! Mack
The first member of Smithy's Gang, he and an army of Shypers invade the Mushroom Kingdom and turn the castle into their base while Mario is off tracking down Croco in Bandit's Way.
* JumpPhysics: His and the Shypers' preferred method of attack.
* KnifeNut
* PlayingWithFire: Flame and Flame Wall.
!! Bowyer
An animated giant bow who set up base in the Forest Maze, he terrorizes Rose Town by firing paralyzing arrows at the helpless citizens.
* TheArcher
* DangerouslyGenreSavvy: Unlike most of his cohorts, Bowyer doesn't find it fair that the party gangs up on him three-on-one. He fixes the problem by randomly locking one of the player's button commands, often preventing them from using healing items or attacking, depending on which command he uses.
* ShockAndAwe
* StrangeSyntaxSpeaker: "Fix it I will, nya! Shoot an arrow I shall! When target it hits, that button locked!"

!! Yaridovich
A creature wielding a spear, he splits into copies of Mushroom kingdom citizens and collectively poses as the citizens of Seaside Town to trick Mario into retrieving the next Star Piece for him.

!!The Axem Rangers
Commanding Smithy's airship Blade, they attack Mario in Barrel Volcano to steal the sixth Star Piece from him.
* AllYourColorsCombined: "Formation, HO! Here we go!"
* AnAxeToGrind
* DangerouslyGenreSavvy: Whenever a Star Piece is located it rises up, spins around Mario's head for several seconds and then drops into his hands. The Axem Rangers snatch the star during the process, leaving Mario to look around wondering what happened before he notices them.
* FiveBadBand:
** [[BigBad The Leader]]: Axem Red
** [[TheDragon Second-In-Command]]: Axem Black (he doesn't fit anywhere else)
** TheBrute: Axem Yellow ([[SmashMook hard physical attacker]])
** [[EvilGenius The Evil Genius]]: Axem Green ([[SquishyWizard spell spammer]])
** [[DarkChick The Dark Chick]]: Axem Pink ([[TheMedic heals the others]])
* PsychoRangers
* ShoutOut: To the sentai theme and PowerRangers, obviously.
* StuffBlowingUp: Axem Black tosses out grenades to attack.
* TurnsRed: Axem Red starts using status buffs to boost his attack and defense when too many of his allies are killed off.

* HeroicMime: He pantomimes, even to the point of ''[[NarrativeShapeshifting shapeshifting]]'' into other characters to act out what he would otherwise be saying.
** {{Lampshade|Hanging}}d at the beginning by Toad asking Mario "what's with the silent treatment".
* JumpPhysics: Three of his six magic attacks.
* KleptomaniacHero: You can get called out on it - after assisting a man to his house in Rose Town, he asks if the treasure chests in his house are safe. If you tell them someone took them he's GenreSavvy enough to realize only Mario could jump high enough to get them, and you have the option to come clean about it.
** KleptomaniacHeroFoundUnderwear: Toadstool's ???.
*** Even funnier in the Japanese where it's called "Peach's XXX".
* TheMario: Not surprising.
* MegatonPunch: Mega Glove.
* NarrativeShapeshifting: He can even walk on air while doing it. He's a ''talented'' storyteller!
* PlayingWithFire: Those of his magic attacks that aren't Jump attacks.

* BadassCape
* [[spoiler:ButNowIMustGo]]: After the final Star Piece is reclaimed.
* DeathFromAbove: Geno Flash.
* FrickinLaserBeams
* GlassCannon: Geno.
* TheLancer
* OneThousandNeedles: Geno Whirl, if you time it right, can do exactly 9999 damage, instantly killing anything. It doesn't work on bosses, though...[[spoiler:excluding Exor]].
* RocketPunch
* ShapeShifting: Morphs into a cannon for his ultimate attack, Geno Blast.

* TheBigGuy
* BoisterousBruiser
* BookDumb: In the Japanese his speech is always in hirigana and katakana. By contrast, Geno seems to use the most kanji.
* {{Bowdlerize}}: Bowser's win pose in the Japanese version was FlippingTheBird, this was changed to an arm pump.
* DishingOutDirt: Crusher, the only spell of his that isn't SummonMagic.
* EnemyMine
* EpicFlail
* FastballSpecial: The Hurly Gloves involves chucking Mario at an enemy. Judging from the way Mario is flailing his arms around when Bowser throws him, he's never expecting it either.
* FoeYay: Play your cards right in Marrymore and you can get him to kiss Mario!
** In the same scene he asks Toadstool for a kiss when she promises one to Mario for rescuing her.
* PetTheDog: When he frees a Chain Chomp in Booster's Tower that Booster had locked up because she bit him. Gets more moments as he meets back some of his former troops across the game.
* StillTheLeader: Inverted. He is the fourth to join your group... and the only things he can influence are combat and the mooks inside his own castle.
* SummonMagic: Though his magic attacks are the worst in the game, they fall into this category with him calling Boo, Mokura and Mecha-Koopas to attack opponents.
* VillainDecay: It's right around this game that Bowser's threat level began to swerve wildly between CardCarryingVillain and IneffectualSympatheticVillain. Here he's the former, though he still manages to be pretty {{Badass}}.
!! Toadstool
The Princess of the Mushroom Kingdom has been kidnapped ''again'', but this time she isn't content to sit back and let Mario do the heroism once he rescues her.
* ArmorPiercingSlap
* BoundAndGagged: Well, bound at least. She's tied up and hanging from the ceiling in the prologue.

* FryingPanOfDoom: Her InfinityPlusOneSword
* ImprobableWeaponUser: Her arsenal includes parasols, fans, gloves, and her frying pan.

[[folder:Minor Villains]]

* MiniBoss
* NoCureForEvil: Averted, he can heal himself the first time you fight him, though he only does it once.
* RecurringBoss
* WakeUpCallBoss: He's the second mini-boss in the game, and following the first you naturally wouldn't expect much. This line of thinking proves fatal if you thought to just breeze though Bandit's Way without leveling up Mario and Mallow.
!! Punchinello
A bomb-happy...thing lurking in the Moleville mines, he attacks Mario to try and get some recognition.
* {{BFB}}: King Bomb. Eep.
* DeathByIrony: He tries to summon his biggest bomb yet to blow up Mario, and it falls and crushes him.

!! Johnathan "Johnny" Jones
* AlliterativeAppeal
* DefeatMeansFriendship: Though he doesn't join the party.
* DuelBoss: Optional. He challenges Mario to a one-on-one fight, but only if the player kills off all his {{Mook}} henchmen.
* EverythingIsEvenWorseWithSharks: Subverted. He isn't a bad guy at all really--he hands you the Star Piece after defeat and helps prevent Yaridovich's escape so that the party can get fight him and get the Star Piece back. Also, Mario invaded ''his'' ship to find the Star, so when you think about it he was just defending himself and his prize.

!! Queen Valentina and Dodo
A vain woman who locks up the King and Queen of Nimbus land and has her pet Dodo pose as ''Prince'' Mallow so she can rule.

* FluffyTheTerrible: Of the BilingualBonus variety. His name is Latin for "mosquito."
* MusicalNod
* ShoutOut: His entire existence is one giant MythologyGag about ''Final Fantasy''.

* KnifeNut
* PlayingWithFire: Flame and Flame Wall.
!! Bowyer
An animated giant bow who set up base in the Forest Maze, he terrorizes Rose Town by firing paralyzing arrows at the helpless citizens.
* TheArcher
* DangerouslyGenreSavvy: Unlike most of his cohorts, Bowyer doesn't find it fair that the party gangs up on him three-on-one. He fixes the problem by randomly locking one of the player's button commands, often preventing them from using healing items or attacking, depending on which command he uses.
* ShockAndAwe
* StrangeSyntaxSpeaker: "Fix it I will, nya! Shoot an arrow I shall! When target it hits, that button locked!"

** [[TheDragon Second-In-Command]]: Axem Black (he doesn't fit anywhere else)

** [[EvilGenius The Evil Genius]]: Axem Green ([[SquishyWizard spell spammer]])
** [[DarkChick The Dark Chick]]: Axem Pink ([[TheMedic heals the others]])
* PsychoRangers
