Mario (Mario vs. Wario comics)

Mario is the main protagonist of the eponymous Mario series with the same name. He is a plumber with red clothes and blue overalls. His games mainly center around saving Princess Peach from Bowser. Unfortunately, he's been badly flanderized in the Mario & Wario Comic.

NOTE: This page is only talking about his flanderization in the Mario & Wario comic since the original Mario is likable.

Why He Sucks

 * 1) He has been badly flanderized in the comic, probably even worse than Mario in the 1993 film. He starts off as going to his castle to meet Wario, but however, he attacks anyone who gets in his way.
 * 2) He is quite idiotic, as he attack the 3 Little Pigheads by throwing them into one another as he thought he was playing bowling.
 * 3) Another scene where he is idiotic is when he runs into the Sewer Rat, he thinks that he wants to party and that his nose is a party popper, so what does he do? That's right. He pulls the Sewer Rat's nose off and causes it to faint. Not only is that idiotic, that means he's being a party animal.
 * 4) He decides to feed Pako salt, but instead he feeds him sugar, and then it causes Pako to faint, which shows that he can be careless and unattentive. Say, does that remind you of some other characters?
 * 5) Because of the aforementioned 3 pointers about him attacking animals, that means that he's being an animal abuser.
 * 6) He is much more of a bland/basic version of Mario as a hero, as he comes up with no personality or character development. That makes him cliche somehow, as he is a generic "I'm going to save the day" hero with nothing else to say aside from being an animal abuser.
 * 7) He does not get any comeuppance or karma for his cruel actions, making him a Karma Houdini.
 * 8) For some reason, despite him apologizing to Wario, he calls him a wimp for no reason which proves he's a hypocrite.
 * 9) He gives the original Mario himself a bad name.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) To be fair: Mario himself is far more likable in the original Mario games.
 * 2) He is nice to Wario at the end despite calling him a wimp.
 * 3) Not to mention, he is also nice to others like the Witch.
 * 4) Likewise, his design is good and stays faithful to the original Mario.
