Name: Luigi Mario
Luigi is a fictional character featured in video games and related media released by Nintendo. Luigi is the younger (sometimes twin) brother of Nintendo mascot Mario. He first appeared in the 1983 arcade game Mario Bros. as the character controlled by the second player, and has retained this role in Super Mario Bros., Super Mario Bros. 3, Super Mario World, and other titles. The first game he was available as player one was in Super Mario Bros. 2. His first starring role was in the 1991 educational game Mario is Missing which was developed and published by the Mindscape Group rather than Nintendo; his only other starring role to date was in Luigi's Mansion for the Gamecube in 2001. In both of these games, he is called upon to act as the hero because Mario, the normal hero-character within the franchise, is the one in need of rescue.
In more recent games, Luigi has also been depicted as being less recognized than his famous brother, and perhaps underappreciated, echoing Luigi's less prominent role in the Mario franchise in real life. In the Mario and Luigi series, most of the supporting characters seem to have difficulty remembering Luigi's name, including his enemies; in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, Luigi's adventuring companions (excluding his brother) all seem to dislike him and believe he is incompetent. However, in and around the town of Rogueport in the same title, Luigi is discovered to have an intense fan following, suggesting that there is at least one place in the world where Luigi actually eclipses his brother in fame.
Luigi is usually said to be the younger of the Mario Brothers. In the game Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, it is stated that he is Mario's twin. Confusingly, a later port of that game (Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3} does not refer to Mario and Luigi as twins, but simply as brothers. Yoshi's Island also includes a scene where the infant brothers are delivered by the stork to their parents. It is possible to infer from this scene that Luigi is actually the younger twin, as both are delivered together, but Mario is the first to emerge from his sling. This is backed up by the European version of the port, which has selectable languages, all of which use a term meaning "twins" or "twin brothers".
In the game Luigi's Mansion he supposedly wins a mansion in a contest that he never enters. He and Mario decide to meet up at the mansion to check it out. However, Mario gets there early and is kidnapped by King Boo. Luigi goes on a journey through the mansion in order to get rid of all the ghosts and save Mario. After he does so, the mansion disappears, having only been an illusion created by the Boos. However, Luigi found a large amount of treasure during his adventure through the mansion. The Treasure turned out to be real. At the end of the game, Luigi used the money to build himself a real mansion. The inside of the mansion, unfortunately, has never been seen, and the mansion has never been mentioned since, although it can be seen in the background of the Luigi Circuit course in Mario Kart: Double Dash Also in Double Dash!!, there is a battle course placed inside the mansion. It also appears in Mario Kart DS as a normal race course.
With the debut of Mario Tennis for the Nintendo 64, Luigi gained a rival character in the form of Waluigi, who represents Luigi's evil counterpart in the same way Wario is considered Mario's counterpart. Waluigi has appeared since in the Mario Party series, Mario Kart games, Mario Power Tennis, and just about every other game featuring Mario's all-star supporting cast.
At any rate, one of the most notable and talked-about relationships regarding the green plumber involves Princess Daisy, leading monarchy of Sarasaland, who is now believed by many to be Luigi's counterpart to Mario's Princess Peach as well as overall love interest. The possible concept of a relationship between Luigi and Daisy began with NES Open Tournament Golf, Daisy's only appearance in her extended absence between her debut game Super Mario Land for the Game Boy and her reemergance in Mario Tennis, for the Nintendo 64 over ten years later; in it, she served as Luigi's caddy, much as Peach was Mario's caddy. In Super Smash Bros. Melee, Daisy's trophy biography states, "After her appearance in Mario Golf, some gossips started portraying her as Luigi's answer to Mario's Peach." In Mario Tennis, when Luigi is selected for the doubles tournament, his doubles partner will be Daisy. In Mario Superstar Baseball, Luigi and Daisy are "buddy players," and they share good chemistry.

Mario is the hero of Mushroom Kingdom. Mario's first appearance was a game called "Donkey Kong" where Mario (A carpender who must save his ex-girlfriend name Pauline from an ape) must rescue the first damsel (Not Peach) Pauline. Mario and his brother Luigi appeared in "Mario.Bros".Mario appeared in MANY games! He even appeared in Nintendo Power magazines, Old Mario T.v shows, and movies like Super Mario Bros. (Movie). Somehow Mario takes all the glory for himself instead of poor Luigi >:( See?This is why I hate Mario! Okay moving on....Mario's abilities were jumping,swimming,and throwing fire balls!He's nickname was "Jump Man" since he's a good jumper (But Luigi is the best jumper ever! Even better than Mario! So technicly Luigi's nickname should be Jump Man. XD). Well anyway....Mario is the most popular character EVER! But don't say that "There's no Mario Haters" ^_~

Japanese Name: Mario
Name: Princess Peach
Peach is the princess of a Kingdom called "Mushroom Kingdom". Princess Peach's original name was "Princess Toadstool", somehow "Toadstool" was Peach's name in America instead in Japan.But in some years later, U.S.A changed Peach's name "Toadstool" to Peach.Princess Peach was kidnaped by Bowser many times and always saved by a fat italian plumber name Mario Mario (Odd name but...).Somehow there is a relationship between Peach and Mario since Mario earned a kiss from Peach many times (I think) but its just a rumor.Peach is really sweet and gental.She is the sweetheart of the Mario Character group. Her best friend is Daisy the princess of Sarasaland who is also saved by Mario -_- Peach appeared in many games. She even appeared in the Super Mario Animated series. Oddly, Peach did not appear in the Mario movie.Sadly, this princess is quite hopeless when she's kidnaped by Bowser or someone else.But Peach will still try her best to find more info so Mario can rescue her, like she did in Paper Mario: Thousand- Year door. Peach and Daisy are not cousins nor sisters!

Japanese Name: Pichi-Hime
Name: Yoshi
Yoshi are known for their very long, sticky tongues, the ability to swallow almost anything, even things much larger than the Yoshis themselves. Almost everything they swallow is transformed into (or encased in) an egg, which they have the ability to use as weapons. Yoshis prefer fruit, although they can (and usually will) eat other things -- including living creatures. Their noses, taking up half of their heads, can detect fruit buried underground and other strange secrets. Even though they have teeth, they are rarely seen or used. While the main Yoshi himself is depicted as green, other Yoshis in general come in a variety of colors.
Though technically Yoshi's species would be "yoshi," much like Birdo being a member of the "birdo" species, it is commonly debated whether he is a dragon or a dinosaur. In the English Super Mario Kart instruction manual, Yoshi and Princess Toadstool are referred to as "the lady and the dragon," but this is likely just a reference to damsel in distress and dragon-guarded castle stories. In the Japanese version of Super Mario World, Yoshi refers to himself as "Superdragon Yoshi" in a letter to Mario.And in the remake of Super Mario 64 for the Nintendo DS called Super Mario 64 DS, Yoshi's special power is to release fire from its mouth like a dragon. In spite of this, Yoshi did originate in Dinosaur World, and it seems therefore logical to regard him as a dinosaur. In the Super Mario World animated TV series, it is stated that Yoshi is of a species of dinosaur called "Yoshisaur." Like most cartoon shows based on video games, the series is not considered canon. Recent video games also refer to Yoshi as a dinosaur.
Yoshi's primarily live on Yoshi's island where they live in paradise, however, some Yoshi's have also gone to the mushroom kingdom to live instead of remaining on Yoshi's island, a couple of Yoshis also live in the Beanbean kingdom. Some also live on Isle Dolphino, since the tropical paridise seems to suit them, however, the Yoshis on isle Dolphino hate water and drown if they enter it.
Yoshis seem to live wherever their main sorce of food (Fruit) seems to grow, they like warm temperature and enjoy tropic surroundings, either way, Yoshis primarily live on Yoshi's island, but some Yoshi's also live on Yo'ster isle, an island discovered to the south of the mushroom kingdom rather than to the west, the famous Yoshi, Boshi lives there.
Yoshi has attained popularity almost as great as that of Mario himself. While green is the standard color for Yoshi, his brethren appear with many different skin colors, including blue, red, yellow, brown, orange, pink, purple, azure, turquoise, dark blue, silver, bronze and, more rarely, black and white. (Black and white Yoshis in Yoshi's Story have the distinct ability to digest chili peppers, which others Yoshis cannot). Generally, a Yoshi's shoe color is dependent on its color: red Yoshis wear blue shoes, for example. In earlier games, different colors of Yoshis had different abilities, like fire-breathing or flying. His symbol is an egg.
Yoshis also can make a variety of sounds. In Super Mario World, hopping onto Yoshi's saddle made a "zip-zoo", "phwe-phwew", or "beep-boo" sound — the character's trademark noise until Yoshi's Story, when the character (voiced by Nintendo musician Kazumi Totaka) began muttering his name and unintelligible words (such as "gong" and "hup").In Mario Kart 64, he could also make a squeaking sound.
Yoshis have a limited social structure, shown in multiple RPGs as living in villages with a few wooden constructions. Yoshis inhabit many areas of the world from the Mushroom Kingdom to Isle Delfino.
During the localization of Panel de Pon for the U.S., where the game was renamed Tetris Attack, Nintendo of America replaced the fairy-like characters with characters from Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, with Yoshi stepping in for the Pon main character Lip. It is speculated that NOA did this because the Pon characters were considered too effeminate for the primarily male US video game audience Because of these changes, the game is sometimes referred to as "Tetris A-Hack" by enthusiasts.
Yoshi's appearances in video games, usually sports, often portray him as an agile character. In Mario Kart games, Yoshi is usually the heaviest of all the light weights, he also has excellent acceleration, but is more likely to skid off the track than heavier characters. In Mario Golf, his shot is straight and average in height. In Mario Tennis and Mario Power Tennis, he is a fast tennis player. In Mario Superstar Baseball, Yoshi is the speediest runner and can use his tongue to catch faraway balls. Most recently, Yoshi has appeared in Super Mario Strikers where he is a balanced captain. When Yoshi performs his superstrike, green and yellow bubbles surround the character as he kicks the ball into the back of the net, usually hitting the goalie in the stomach and taking him into the net with it.
One unsettled issue surrounding Yoshi is the question of the creature's gender. All of them seem to be able to create eggs, but their eggs appear to be used as projectiles as often as — if not more often than — a means of reproduction. This has left some fans wondering about the gender of the stretchy-tongued dinosaur. The NTSC versions of Super Smash Bros. Melee attempts to clarify this; in the description of Yoshi's Trophy, it translates that "is neither male nor female" However, this is censored out of all the text that isn't in Japanese. This would make the Yoshi species asexual, with "he" being used for more respect rather than "it". Since there has never been an official indication of male or female Yoshis within the actual games, this is apparently Nintendo of Japan's stance on the matter. Thus, the controversy about Yoshi's gender is ultimately put to rest. As this info was only available in Japanese, most fans are unaware or refuse to acknowledge Yoshi as asexual.
