What about Wario? He’s like Mario after a caffeine-fueled day of bad decisions. Greedy, smelly, and proud of it. He gets his own games where he farts to solve puzzles. I’m not joking. And Waluigi? He’s the ultimate “nobody gets me” meme. He’s never been in a main Mario game, and he lives for the salty drama of it all. King of the outcasts.
Donkey Kong started as the villain who threw barrels at Mario. Now he’s a tie-wearing, banana-obsessed hero with a weirdly deep voice. His whole crew—Diddy, Dixie, Cranky—are basically the Switzerland of the Mario universe: they do their own thing, mostly in jungles, staying out of the plumbing drama.
