Mario Villain Roster, Updated

And here's the villain roster!

Mario Villains Roster

MARIO VILLAINS ROSTER

And over here, we've got our villains. Who ya mainin' from this list?

Full Mario Roster

And there it is, folks. The full roster of all Mario series characters with potential to be fighters in a Smash game, at least based on actual evidence in-game. If a character related to the series does not appear here, they likely appear in one of the five separate rosters, links to which will appear at the end of the roster on the theoretical character select screen. All characters are listed in exact order of appearance. That made things much more simple than trying to use any kind of logic to sort them.

My question to those reading: if this roster were a real thing, and part of an actual game, who ya mainin'?

Koopa Troopa

Descending into the sewers on their first big gaming adventure together, Mario and Luigi would find the place infested with both crabs, called Sidesteppers, and turtles, called Shellcreepers. If they wanted to effectively handle these creatures, the brothers would have to hit them from below, flipping the Shellcreepers onto their backs before jumping up to their level and kicking them away before they could right themselves.

These turtles would later reappear in the Mario brothers’ first console adventure, this time under the name of Koopa Troopa, the primary minions of the evil king Bowser. These Koopas liked to tuck into their shells to protect themselves from damage and were likewise known to sprout wings and fly. They would go on to appear across the Mario series, more often than not menacing Mario as his enemies, but sometimes helping him out as his allies, such as Kooper and Koops, Mario’s party members from the first two Paper Mario games, who will be represented among the color swaps.

As a playable character, Koopa Troopas are light and speedy, with high defense owing to their tough shells, though not much in the way of power. Their moves will pull from their shells’ defensive capabilities, their wings as Paratroopa, their utility as a projectile when hiding in their shells, and other tertiary abilities demonstrated in various games.

Likelihood rating: Good possibility

Mario Clash

MARIO CLASH

Mario Clash is another of the handful of games made for the ill-fated Virtual Boy and a sorta-kinda sequel to the Mario Bros. arcade game. It's alright. It's no Virtual Boy Wario Land, but hey, what is? The premise of the game is Mario kicking enemies out of a tower. The typical stage layout has an upper and a lower level, and a foreground and a background, with pipes and ladders that take you in between. Koopas are your main enemies, but there are also Spikes and Thornies (Spike Tops and Spinies more accurately), Paragoombas, Sidesteppers, Snakes, Pokeys, Big Boos, and Lobbs (machines that throw fireballs). Most of these just move back and forth on different levels, and Mario would have to navigate between them and take them out with Koopa shells.

That's about it, honestly. Here's what we've got so far:

Characters:

Mario: hammer, bombs, drop drum, golden hammer, pink (enemy), blue (block), yellow (metal plate), green (brick), Kanbank, throw Koopa shells

Luigi: same

Princess Peach

Bowser

Foreman Spike: push, best option for a gimmick character, see all above

Koopa Troopa

Eggplant Man: run around

Gotchawrench: run around

Onigiri

Onnanoko

Oyazi

Dogu

Stages:

Wrecking Crew

High Rise Building

Mario Paint

Clash House Tower

Items:

Hammers

Bombs

Drums

Blocks

Shells

Mario's Tennis

 MARIO'S TENNIS

Today, we begin the Mario Tennis games, arguably the second most popular sports series after Mario Kart, as long as your not counting the Party games in that category. First up, we have Mario's Tennis, one of the handful of games for the ill-fated Virtual Boy console. As covered before, as this game is far more about the tennis mechanics than the characters playing it, it would suit our purposes far better to simply find ourselves a gimmick rep to represent the Tennis games as a whole, if any can be found. More on that later.

The tennis in this game is pretty rudimentary, which no splashy gimmicks added, like special shots or anything. You can play singles or doubles, and you have three basic shots you can perform: serves, top-spins, and lobs. Our playable cast is the exact same cast from Super Mario Kart, sans Bowser, meaning: Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, Toad, Yoshi, Koopa Troopa, and Donkey Kong Jr. Pretty basic, but none standing out as a possible option. As far as stages go, it's just a tennis court. That's it.

Here's what we've got so far:

Characters:

Tennis gimmick rep: serve, lob, top-spin, singles, doubles

Mario

Luigi

Princess Peach

Toad

Yoshi

Koopa Troopa

Donkey Kong Jr.

Stages:

Tennis Court

Character Sheet: Koopa Troopa (Revision)

 KOOPA TROOPA

This will largely be our last run of revisions, for the Mario series at least. Now that the RPGs are over, pretty much every game left is either something we've already covered for the most part (Remakes, etc.), or run on a core game mechanic not unique to any one character (the Sports games). So, once these are done, I will do character sheets for new characters added and just a general sum up for everyone else. With all that said, let's get into it:

1. Mario 
2. Luigi 
3. Professor E. Gadd 
4. Princess Peach 
5. Toad 
6. Toadette 
7. Bowser 
8. Dry Bowser 
9. Bowser Jr. 
10. Koopalings 
11. Koopa Troopa 
12. Dry Bones 
13. Goomba 
14. Piranha Plant 
15. Boo 
16. Cheep Cheep 
17. Blooper 
18. Bob-Omb 
19. Lakitu 
20. Monty Mole 
21. Spike 
22. Hammer Bro 
23. Chargin' Chuck 
24. Wiggler 
25. Chain Chomp 
26. Birdo 
27. Petey Piranha 
28. King Boo 
29. Paper Mario
30. Yoshi 
31. Baby Mario 
32. Baby Bowser 
33. Kamek 
34. Shy Guy

Not too much to say for this one. Koopas appear throughout, though actually not that often as enemies, since most of the time Bowser is not the main threat. Paper Jam and Origami King are generally the biggest appearances, and during those, they're pretty basic Koopas. I suppose we could mention the comic relief character Corporal Paraplonk, but he doesn't add much either.

Here is the character's moveset:

Standard B: Koopatrol Spear

Side B: Shell Spin

Up B: Paratroopa

Down B: Shell Shield

Final Smash: Air Raid

Entrance: Starts out in his shell, before emerging using the standard animation.

Taunts: Giving a thumbs up and making the iconic Koopa sound, stepping outside of his shell and looking it over while in his underwear, maybe sleeping like a Snooza Koopa. Or maybe some of the companion moves, like Koops rubbing the back of his head.

Next up: Let's update the echo fighter, Dry Bones!

Super Mario Series Roster, Updated

SUPER SMASH BROS. UNIVERSE

SUPER MARIO SERIES

Today, let's update our roster for the Super Mario Bros. series. Now, if you've been following this series, you may have noticed we had, um, quite a few newcomers this time around, enough to fill an entire roster on their own, you might say. Well, that's exactly what I did. The Mario RPGs brought in so many new and unique characters that I decided to create an entirely separate roster just for them, just like the Donkey Kong, Yoshi, and Wario rosters. The Mario roster will still have a handful added, but most of them will appear on the other roster.

1. Mario
2. Fursuit Mario
3. F.L.U.D.D. Mario
4. Luigi
5. Vacuum Luigi
5e. Professor E. Gadd
6. Princess Peach
7. Princess Daisy
8. Rosalina and Luma
9. Pauline
10. Cappy
11. Toad
11e. Toadette
12. Bowser
12e. Dry Bowser
13. Bowser Jr.
14. Shadow Mario
15. The Koopalings
16. Wart
17. Tatanga
18. Wanda
19. Perry
20. Sprixie Princess
21. Koopa Troopa
21e. Dry Bones
22. Goomba
23. Piranha Plant
24. Boo
25. Cheep Cheep
26. Blooper

27: Bob-Omb
28. Lakitu and Spinies
29. Monty Mole

30. Spike

31. Hammer Bro
32. Chargin' Chuck
33. Wiggler
34. Chain Chomp
35. Ghost
36. Honeybee
37. Boom Boom
37e. Pom Pom
38. Birdo

39. Mouser
40. Petey Piranha
41. King Boo
42. The Broodals

Following after the Broodals, will be navigation options for the Mario RPG, Donkey Kong, Yoshi, and Wario rosters, alongside the Random button.

Next up, we have an update to the Yoshi roster as well.

Character Sheet: Koopa Troopa (Koops/Kooper/Parakarry)

KOOPA TROOPA

Today, let's let the floodgates burst forth. The RPGs, being RPGs, have proved a wellspring of brand-new characters and possible major revisions of pre-existing characters. Since there are so many, I will start by covering all of the revisions first. Here they are:

1. Mario
2. Luigi
3. Princess Peach
4. Toad
4e. Toadette
5. Bowser
6. Bowser Jr.
7. The Koopalings
8. Koopa Troopa
8e. Dry Bones
9. Goomba
10. Piranha Plant
11. Boo
12. Blooper
13. Lakitu and Spinies
14. Monty Mole
15. Hammer Bro
16. Wiggler
17. Chain Chomp
18. Birdo
19. Petey Piranha
20. Yoshi
21. Kamek
22. Shy Guy
23. Bandit

Today, let's cover the Koopa Troopa. The Koopa race appears all throughout this series in a variety of roles, but the most important, I feel, is the characters of Kooper, Koops, and Parakarry, your companions throughout the first two Paper Mario games, and your representative Koopas and Paratroopa respectively (as there is no Paratroopa slot). They will be color swaps, possibly switched to paper 2D models for those. I didn't feel they should be their own movesets, as their movesets in-game basically amount to token "Koopa" and "Paratroopa" movesets respectively.

Kooper's moves in the first game are all basically four different power levels of the same move: tucking into his shell and spinning forward. Koops is very similar, except that he adds in a giant shell he uses to shield himself and Mario, and a move similar to another used by Parakarry. Parakarry is much the same, except airborne, and can also pick up enemies and carry them away. The move shared by Koops and Parakarry sees several shells rocketing across the screen. Other notable additions throughout the series includes the Koopatrols, armored Koopas wielding lances.

Here is the character's moveset:

Standard B: Koopatrol Spear
This one works more as an echo to the bone throw for Dry Bones and can represent the Koopatrol race. They will throw one of the spears carried by the race.

Side B: Shell Spin

Up B: Paratroopa
Maybe bear some resemblance to Parakarry's Shell Shot and fly upward inside the shell.

Down B: Shell Shield
Rather than just tucking into the shell, they'll now borrow from Koops and cover themselves in a large Koopa shield.

Final Smash: Air Raid
This one will cover the move used by Koops and Parakarry and send a number of shells flying all over the screen, both Koopa and Paratroopa shells together.

Entrance: Starts out in his shell, before emerging using the standard animation.

Taunts: Giving a thumbs up and making the iconic Koopa sound, stepping outside of his shell and looking it over while in his underwear, maybe sleeping like a Snooza Koopa. Or maybe some of the companion moves, like Koops rubbing the back of his head.

Next up: Let's update the echo fighter, Dry Bones!

Character Sheet: Koopa Troopa (Side Character Spinoffs)

KOOPA TROOPA

Today, we begin our next round of character sheets, with updates for every major character who appeared in the Luigi's Mansion series, Super Princess Peach, or Captain Toad's Treasure Tracker. Most of these should be fairly simple, with only four newcomers to speak of. They are:

1. Mario
2. Luigi
3. Princess Peach
4. Toad
4e. Toadette
5. Bowser
6. Koopa Troopa
6e. Dry Bones
7. Goomba
8. Piranha Plant
9. Boo
10. Blooper
11. Lakitu
12. Hammer Bro
13. Chargin' Chuck
14. Wiggler
15. Chain Chomp
16. Petey Piranha
17. King Boo
18. Kamek
19. Shy Guy
20. Vacuum Luigi (New)
20e. Professor E. Gadd (New)
21. Perry (New)
22. Ghost (New)

Not much to say today. Koopa Troopas appear in Super Princess Peach as basic enemies, acting as they always do, so really not much to add.

Here is the character's moveset:

Standard B: Shell Projectile

Side B: Shell Spin

Up B: Paratroopa

Down B: Shell Tuck

Final Smash: Koopa Mech

Entrance: Starts out in his shell, before emerging using the standard animation

Taunts: Giving a thumbs up and making the iconic Koopa sound, stepping outside of his shell and looking it over while in his underwear, maybe sleeping like a Snooza Koopa.

Next up: Let's cover his echo fighter, Dry Bones!

Character Sheet: Koopa Troopa (Yoshi Miscellaneous)

KOOPA TROOPA

Today, let's begin our last round of Yoshi games with the character updates. It will be almost all revisions this time, but it shouldn't be too many. Here we go:

1. Mario (Revision)
2. Princess Peach (Revision)
3. Bowser (Revision)
4. The Koopalings (Revision)
5. Koopa Troopa (Revision)
6. Goomba (Revision)
7. Piranha Plant (Revision)
8. Boo (Revision)
9. Blooper (Revision)
10. Lakitu and Spinies (Revision)
11. Monty Mole (Revision)
12. Chargin' Chuck (Revision)
13. Yoshi (Revision)
14. Baby Mario (Revision)
15. Baby Bowser (Revision)
16. Kamek (Revision)
17. Shy Guy (Revision)
18. Ukiki (Revision)
19. Wiggler

Today, let's go over the Koopa Troopa enemy. Koopas' main appearance is in the game Yoshi's Safari, where Paratroopas are the most frequent enemy, and a regular Koopa appears as a boss fight (yes, I know, weird, right?) piloting his own giant mech firing projectiles. We'll see what it really adds.

Here is the character's moveset:

Standard B: Shell Projectile

Side B: Shell Spin

Up B: Paratroopa

Down B: Shell Tuck

Final Smash: Koopa Mech
Since he didn't really have a Final Smash that was really his own, I figure this can act in that capacity. His mech from Yoshi's Safari will rise in the background, firing projectiles at the stage.

Entrance: Starts out in his shell, before emerging using the standard animation

Taunts: Giving a thumbs up and making the iconic Koopa sound, stepping outside of his shell and looking it over while in his underwear, maybe sleeping like a Snooza Koopa.

Next up: Let's cover the Goomba!
