=== Relationships ===
In most ''[[Super Mario (series)|Super Mario]]'' series titles, Mario has to save [[Princess Peach]], and the [[Mushroom Kingdom]] from [[Bowser]] and his [[Koopa Troop]]. In several of his adventures, Mario is joined by Luigi. In the role-reversal title ''[[Super Princess Peach]]'', Princess Peach is instead the character who has to go on an adventure to save Mario and Luigi from Bowser.
Since his debut in ''Donkey Kong'', Mario has been rescuing a damsel-in-distress, in this case [[Pauline]], who originally appeared as Mario's girlfriend. Since ''Super Mario Bros.'', Peach has replaced Pauline's role of being Mario's love interest as well as the damsel-in-distress. As such, Pauline has not made as many appearances, and in the ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong]]'' series, Mario instead has her as a regular friend. In ''[[Super Mario Land]]'', [[Princess Daisy]] instead has the one-off role of being the damsel-in-distress whom Mario must rescue, and she was subsequently repurposed into being a recurring playable character in various spinoff titles. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', Daisy's [[Trophy (Super Smash Bros. series)|trophy]] description states that she was "Luigi's answer to Mario's Peach."

In the real world, during the 1990s, Mario's main mascot rival was [[Sega]]'s [[Sonic the Hedgehog (character)|Sonic the Hedgehog]] since the latter's debut in the [[1991]] game ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog (1991 game)|Sonic the Hedgehog]]''. This ended in [[2001]], when Sega became a third-party game developer. Since then, the two characters have starred in the ''[[Mario & Sonic]]'' series, where they have a friendly rivalry. Various installments of the series have a story mode revolving around Mario and Sonic who, along with their friends, work to stop [[Bowser]] and [[Dr. Eggman]] from ruining or canceling the Olympic Games. Since ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', Sonic has appeared in every ''[[Super Smash Bros. (series)|Super Smash Bros.]]'' title alongside Mario, although their relationship is not explored like in the ''Mario & Sonic'' series.
