Line 32:
In most of his appearances, Mario wears a long-sleeved red shirt, a pair of blue overalls with yellow buttons, brown shoes, white gloves, and a red cap with a red "M" printed on a white circle. In ''[[Donkey Kong (game)|Donkey Kong]]'', Mario wears a pair of red overalls and a blue shirt. In ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'', he wore a brown shirt with red overalls. He has blue eyes, and, like [[Luigi]], has brown hair, and a dark brown or black mustache. This consistent difference in color is attributed to being a relic from designing the characters for their original platforms, wherein certain features were actively distinguished while others had to be curtailed due to technical limitations.<ref>Geikhman, Yuliya (September 26, 2012).

Mario's outfit often changes to suit the game or his occupation, such as how he wears a football kit in ''[[Super Mario Strikers]]''. In ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'', Mario's shirt is short-sleeved instead of long-sleeved. In the same game, as Mario progresses into his journey, he can talk to the [[sunglasses vendor]] to receive a pair of sunglasses and a Hawaiian-style [[Shine Sprite]] shirt.

Line 44 ⟶ 46:
[[Luigi]] is Mario's younger fraternal twin brother. He is a companion in the ''Mario'' games, and is controlled by the second-player in many earlier ''Mario'' titles. In some games, such as ''[[Mario is Missing!]]'' and his own ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]'' series, Luigi is instead the main playable character and the one who has to rescue Mario.
Bowser is Mario's archrival. Sometimes, if there is a greater villain or an issue affecting both Mario and Bowser, they team up to find a solution. This occurs in a few of the ''Mario'' RPG titles such as ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'' and ''[[Super Paper Mario]]''.
Since ''[[Super Mario World]]'', Mario has been accompanied by a dinosaur-like steed named [[Yoshi (character)|Yoshi]], let alone the [[Yoshi (species)|species]] in general. In the ''[[Yoshi's Island]]'' series, Mario is an infant whom a group of Yoshis alternately carry on their back to return him home.
''[[Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins]]'' saw the introduction of [[Wario (character)|Wario]], Mario's greedy counterpart and the main antagonist of said game.
