Mario

 is a major character in RicoVentures series.

He is a red plumber who enjoys sleeping and getting things done as quickly as possible.

History
first appears in the episode RicoVentures 1 - A Shrektastic Adventure. He is first seen in his house, sleeping in his bed. Once Shrek showed up and greeted Mario for the first time, he turned to bones out of shock. Later, after their fight, Luigi and Shrek were talking while Mario was still unconscious. Once he woke up, his tensions with Shrek had eased, as he seemed friendly. They are later seen playing Super Smash Bros. together.

In RicoVentures 2 - Paper Mario Mischief, Mario is invited to Peach's Castle by Peach for a party. Sadly, both Mario and Luigi realize the letter was sent a day ago, which made them rush over to the castle. Later, Mario was seen fighting Bowser, to which he lost instantly due to the powerful Star Rod. He was actually killed, sent flying out the window, and fell peacefully down to the ground outside Goomba Village. He was revived using most of Eldstar's remaining energy. He was then told the story of the Star Rod and how Bowser stole it. He later meets Goompa, who decides to stay with Mario and Rico after they are all attacked by Evil Sushi's.

In RicoVentures 3 - A Plea from the Stars, after helping defeat the evil King Goomba, they headed back to Toad Town to continue his quest to save Peach and get back the Star Rod. He later finds Merlon's Hut, but it was closed, yet he still tried to enter. Injured by an explosion, he was unable to move, and King Harkinian later shows up with his Cataquack minions and throws the trio into Club 64 where there is an ongoing party. Mario later wakes up to Morshu's performance. Merlon shows up and asks Mario to go to the Star Haven, which he declines. Merlon, angry at Mario, decides to use his Teleportation device, which uses his energy to transport people to nearby locations. He teleports the trio to Star Haven, where the Star Spirits further explains the quest they must go on.

In RicoVentures 4 - The Intruders, Mario and the gang are motivated to continue their quest.
