Ah yes, my favorite Mario series characters: - Master Oogway - Nute Gunray - The Bank of America - Joseph Stalin - and The Berlin Wall Truly, a stunning cast of Mario Characters
Truly devastated I missed this and wasn't able to put in my vote for the Aztec god Quetzalcoatl, who shows up in one of the 1996 Super Mario Quiz Cards. (This is not a joke, I do posts on Mesoamerican history and archeology on other platforms/in comments and help write for some History/archeology UA-camrs, check out the comments on Gamexplain's Piranha Plant Cove video where I talk about the Maya architectural influences for 12 paragraphs)
I'm so happy dimentio is so high up. Like, he appeared in ONE game, which was unappreciated for so long, in niche divisive spin off series, and STILL managed to leave such an impression to get on 26th place. Like you need to be a really good character to score so high with all odds stacked against you.
I hope The Old Psychic Lady with the Evil Eye Who Reads Fortunes and Knows Everything Before It Happens from the Super Mario Bros Super Show is on this list
I really love that of all the characters in the Nintendo Canon, bowser is the one they use for parental controls. He's a dad. He's a single dad, which means that he's likely a bit busier than most to naturally set boundaries with games, so he's the perfect use case for parental controls. He's the villain so, which fits for how some kids might view them as mean. I just think it's really sweet that he gets to be the Nintendo icon for dad trying his best.
Also I was watching the whole video hoping dry bones would just make it to the top 50 so to see him all the way in 12th was insane. I genuinely started thinking I missed him, this was a SUPER fun video
@@Odyssey_Central Honestly think you are the reason for so many people to love him. it's so charming whenever you express yourlove for him. it persuaded me enough to make him my favorite
Bowser has always reminded me of Pete from any Mickey Mouse stuff. Sometimes he’s super evil, and sometimes he’s your next door neighbor who might be a little rude
Takeaways from this list: - You need to play Bowser’s Inside Story - We need some Mario Party rankings on this channel - We need this concept repeated with other franchises
2:05:35 Weirdly enough I actually like that Kamek looks like every other Magikoopa bc it sort of implies that he was a normal Magikoopa that got on a grindset and became a far more powerful mage than his kin. Like by that logic any minion could achieve greatness if they just worked hard at it, I like knowing a random Magikoopa worked his way up the ranks until literally becoming baby bowser's caretaker man worked hard as hell for his position as Bowser's second in command.
The 3 vote category is a very magical place where there are both "How did they only get three votes?" and "HOW DID THEY MANAGE TO GET *THREE* VOTES?" characters. AND THERE ARE BOTH SERIOUS AND JOKE PICKS FOR BOTH THOSE CATEGORIES
a possible reason why red yoshi got a decent amount of votes was aMSa, a melee player who mains yoshi, who was considered a trash character an entire decade ago, and then singlehandedly pioneered and brought yoshi up from a low mid-tier to an actual tournament winner, all because he loves playing as yoshi in every game where that is possible and he picks red yoshi, because red is cool there's a couple of videos documenting his entire journey but the one i recommend is "aMSa: The Only Yoshi (who could do it)" by AsumSaus
I bet Wario’s happy he got more votes than Mario. Wario’s pointing and laughing his head off at Mario about it, but Mario’s not even noticing, cause he’s just so proud of his brother getting so many votes
Two things I'm getting from this: - The RPG Mario series are the best and probably even better than the mainline games - Put Geno, Vivian, and Fawful in Smash
1:29:09 Schaffrillas: let’s call him Kyle not to spoil anything Schaffrillas not even 5 seconds later: proceeds to spoil the whole chapter and some parts later in the game
3:05 as the person who wrote Bowser (silly little turtle) on the form I did not think of the consequences of my actions and I'm sorry for what I put you through
i’d be interested to see a graph where the the rank of the characters is on the x axis (with 1st place at the leftmost placement, the 2nd, 3rd… etc) and the number of votes on the y axis and see the kind of trend the graph makes. a common trend that can appear in data like this is that the graph will roughly follow y = a* 1/x, where a is just some constant. this means that 2nd place would have roughly half as many votes as first, and third would have about a third as many as first. this is known as zipfs law and is pretty fascinating. bc of zipfs law, it’s not too surprising that luigi got nearly twice the amount of votes as bowser sorry i’m an engineer and got my minor mathematics so this was one of the first things i thought of with such a large sample size
did some quick research to fact check myself, and zipf’s law may not necessarily be applicable here. while it can have broader applications, it’s mainly used to map word usage frequency in languages. more likely the graph would follow a Pareto distribution (which is how we get the saying that 80% of the work is done by 20% of the people, or that 80% of wealth is owned by 20% of people). in the case of the video, a large percentage of the votes would be owned by a small percentage of the characters
I know that this poll was somewhat meme-y and that you didn’t have the resources or experience to make it super streamlined or professional, but I think it’s EXTREMELY valuable market research about English speaking taste. If you had more information about the age range of the voters, that would also be interesting data. I’m not a corporate person or anything but I think the data is fascinating.
eehh I mean, promoting a poll as a well known content creator is just gonna make most votes skewed towards his already stablished audience. It is fun to watch and see the results but the whole thing is incredibly biased and would hardly be effective as a proper market research. Besides like you said it is missing crucial data like age group, country of origin, and gender.
@@tountoes1677 true! I guess what I meant was less that the poll should be taken seriously by Nintendo itself, and more that it could be good data for other creatives who don’t have the reach or resources to do this kind of big poll.

I'm more surprised that Schaffrillas actually had a bit of a change of heart with her and found her kinda fun. Ngl, PGP definitely is the worst character of the 2. Hell, Peachette's probably a better character than the babies tbh@@SHcMOOK
@@AidenEmersonI've come around to her as well. I think her lines sounding like a mix between Peach and Toadette is very cool even if it only really works for some of them really well and her biker outfit is unironically super adorable. She became really hard to hate.
@@ArtificialDuck I can’t believe Grover Cleveland made it in a sports game Forget Smash Bros or Endgame, this is the best crossover ever. And I couldn’t have it any other way
I didn’t want to believe it, I thought people would pick a more obscure character but nah, the most predictable placement ever. I honestly should not be surprised.
The fact Dimentio and Count Bleck scored as high as they did make me so happy. That game is so underappreciated, you NEED to check it out if you haven't.
i'm genuinely shocked both of those outplaced Geno even though his fanbase is way louder and he's actually been relevant in something that released in the past year
While you might encourage people to skip past the opening montages, I am going to desperately emphasize that you MUSN'T skip them. Those were amazing. Massive props to you and your editors and I'm so sorry you had to go through that 😂
I CALL SHENANIGANS!! The npc in New Donk City that says "Boy, I tell ya. This city..." (5:46) and Bench New Donker (27:33) are THE EXACT SAME GUY! He should actually have 22 votes in total. I demand a full recount of the votes or else this entire operation is a sham! Justice for my boy unnamed bench sitting New Donker! ....otherwise good video
Snifit should have 50 votes! It's just that 9 of them were filed under "Sniffit", with two "f"s. On a similar note, "Gigi & Merri" and the "Jellyfish Sisters" are the same, which means they should (collectively or separately) have 7 votes. They're one of the tutorial pairs from _Superstar Saga_ that teach the Hand field moves and Bros. Attacks. Also, both "Sir Grodus" and just "Grodus" appear in the 8 votes list; which is either an oversight, or a miscount, and Sir Grodus should actually have 16 votes.
Also, 7 people voted Satoru Gojo and 14 voted for Gojo Satoru. As much as I don't care about JJK or Gojo, I must admit this is unfair. Give him his 21! Bowser's Brother also got 7, but was also at 29. It wasn't even spelt different that time!
15:31 I salute to all my 5 other Scott The Woz connoisseurs for giving us a 5 seconds of exposure, our efforts to make Grover Cleveland playable into Smash will not be forgotten
wasn't he also making his own poll? one for how "Mario" a character is? Also while searching I found a tumbr Mario tournament by him and the finals were Vivian vs The Old Psychic Lady with the Evil Eye Who Reads Fortunes and Knows Everything Before It Happens with Vivian winning
@@davidvaldez1093 He made a popularity bracket, and seperately before this he made two different videos about polls he made about what counts as a super mario game
Charcters that are weirdly absent: - Boomerang Bros - Fire Bros (Although Ice bros make an apearence) - Snailicorns - Big Guy the Stilted/Shy guy on Stillts - Goomboss - Chief Chilly - Eyerok - Bubba - The Mushrooms - The Fire/Ice/Bommerang Flower - The Tanuki Leaf - The Special Toads from Coloar Splash - The Drug Enemy from Yosh's Island - The Generic ghosts from Luigi Mansion - The bean enemys from Super Star Saga - The Starshade Bros
It's funny; when I was a kid, he was one of the most hated Sonic characters, mainly because of his fishing gameplay in Sonic Adventure and chasing after Froggy. I never had an issue with him, personally. He's just okay.
hearing you refer to regular Bowser as "Wet Bowser" while talking about Dry Bowser was truly an experience And also the fact that my boy Carbon from Book of Mario got so much love is awesome But yeah i think this list is pretty fair I'm a little upset that Fracktail got so few votes but it makes sense, and hey, the super paper mario cast performed really well on here and it's cool seeing that game get so much love. Cool video! was really fun to watch and hear your thoughts on each character
I'm actually really impressed by the opening montages of Mario characters. Half the time, I'm wondering "how is this character related to Mario at all", and the other half I'm reminiscing about characters I'd forgotten. Thanks for the ridiculously long editing hours for those!
16:58 I'd like to thank all 7 of my fans for voting me, Count Cannoli, as your favourite mario character! It means a lot to me 💜 Remember to Buy Wario: Master of Disguise for Nintendo DS! Note: Yes, I did vote for myself! What's it to you!?
You have no idea how happy it makes me to see Vivian making it all the way to 16th. Obviously I know she's always been a well-loved character, but to make it _this_ far? Above every other RPG exclusive, outranked solely by mainstays like Luigi and Bowser? For a character who has only had one true appearance in the entire franchise (I hope that changes in the future...), that is absolutely awesome. Not to say I don't love other characters in the RPGs (certified Fawful fan), but Vivian is just such a wonderful and sweet character, definitely a contender for my favourite Mario character of all despite her rarity in the series, and I'm glad she continues to receive so much love. Glad to see K. Rool made it to the top 50 as well. I know some write him off as a Bowser clone, but as anyone who is actually familiar with him will know, he's a lot more than that.
Mad Piano was the basis for a one-off mimic joke in my home D&D game. He was promptly adopted and has joined the main party as a permanent NPC companion.
I'm surprised at you, Schafrillas! You brought up Book of Mario: Thousands of Doors, but didn't mention or credit its creator! He's a delightful but undeservedly small UA-camr named Fatguy703, he makes Paper Mario content.
That’s absolutely something that would be in a schaffrillas ytp. Just the audio being cut off like that and a png of a door being placed on the frame as he says it
As someone who’s always liked Waluigi since I was a kid, he’s such an interesting case study. Without having any main line appearances or his own main game, he’s really been cemented as one of the 10 main characters in Mario. I feel like any list of main Mario characters without him doesn’t feel right. I hope some day he either gets a main line appearance or into smash The 10 to me: Mario, Luigi, Peach, Bowser, Daisy, Rosalina, Wario, Waluigi, Toad, and Yoshi
I'd place Donkey Kong as one of the main 10 over Rosalina, Rosalina was a later addition to the cast and though she's made countless appearances since Galaxy I still see her as more of a secondary character than part of the main cast. It could also be argued that Birdo and Toadette could be added to make a main 12.
Let's be real, Waluigi only scored this high because of the memes. He's the Big the Cat of Mario, originally derided because he looks weird, has a weird voice and seems like an irrelevant addition to the cast, now celebrated for all the same reasons. Not that I *don't* want to see him and Wario in stuff like Mario&Luigi, but this is clearly less about what Nintendo has actually done with the character and more what the fandom got out of him.
@@rainpooper7088I think a huge part of his relevance is really how he slots into the void of an opposite to Luigi. Like the whole set up is incomplete without a brother for Wario, it just took a tennis game for us to know it. There's a negative waluigi shaped space in the Mario roster when he's not there, idont think the same could be said for Big the Cat
Shaffrillas said in the video that she isn’t a cannon character so I’m kind of curious to know where she’s from. Is she like a fanmade character or something?
tragically the overlap between Shaffrillas viewers and jan Misali viewers is low... otherwise The Old Psychic Lady with the Evil Eye who Reads Fortunes and Knows Everything Before it Happens would have gotten higher, considering she was the runner-up in the popularity bracket he did...
@@Sean-qg3gg In a recent Mario Party Jamboree screenshot there's a minigame description that has the said bullet and calls it Bomber Bill, i think they did updated his name permanently
I think it's because of the association of the word "banzai" with the Japanese Empire, which is a really bad thing in especially South Korea and also other countries than ended up under its rule
@@cescobb4647 in Japanese and Korean it's called a magnum killer, not banzai bill. I doubt south Koreans were considered at all regarding the name change, though they may have considered the Asian diaspora in the united states. banzai bill is a localised name and as such the concerns of changing it are exclusively for English speaking territories.
ROSALINA SWEEP RAHHHHHH ✨✨✨✨✨ Edit: 17:05 HOLY SHIT THE OLD PSYCHIC LADY WITH THE EVIL EYE WHO READS FORTUNES AND KNOWS EVERYTHING BEFORE IT HAPPENS MENTION
this is the first time ive seen you talk about Mario + Rabbids and hear you pronounce Phantom's name. i got really happy when i saw Mario + Rabbids get at least SOME recognition because its a neat spin-off series
2:35:30 he also just had really good sound design. Like, he was essential in the cultural phenomenon of associating skeletons with xylophones. His death/rebuilding sounds are straight up some of the most iconic sounds in all of Mario imo and they're really satisfying too
1:54:52 Toadette literally does his job in Paper Jam he's dead and she stole his job. She probably killed him. Yes Wario World is real, you know what's weird? Why Did Wario show up in Bomberman?
Disappointed that the iconic Mario stand in character who gave Sprig pizza in that one Amphibia episode wasn't included. Smh, WORST LIST OF ALL TIME 😤😤😤
Spoilers lol Happy Vivian got in top 20. I hope she appears again someday in a future game, even if it’s a tiny cameo. She’s precious and makes me happy, definitely deserving her high ranking.
9:41 HOLY FUCK YES! I didn't think he'd specifically mention Chum chucker Charlie, but ever since I've been able to play dkctf his name has NOT left my head, it's FLAWLESS. Edit: Thanks for- jk, I'm not dumb. I just forgor to say: proud to be the only one who voted for Piranha creeper
man, if i’d voted, mr l would’ve been a spot higher and the difference between vivian and funky kong would’ve only been ONE vote voting matters, people
the 1 vote list is so interesting because you can definitely see picks like KP Koopa, or Dread Kong, both a unique take on existing designs on the Mario Universe. But you can also see "The nine iron from Mario Gold Super Rush", and fanfic characters
Great video as per usual (top 3 was definitely a shock), and on MC Ballyhoo(1:25:25)- I would NOT surprised if a good chunk of his votes came from the "Mario Anti-Piracy" trend from 2020 followed by their appearance in Mario's Madness, a super-popular horror FNF mod. His song, No Party, was already considered one of the best, but excellent lyrical covers by his voice actor, Juno Songs, also helped. Maybe I'm just biased as someone *in* the FNF fandom, but I think it's something to consider in terms of recency bias.
Fun fact! The Old Psychic Lady With The Evil Eye Who Reads Fortunes And Knows Everything Before It Happens actually came second in a best Mario character poll bracket the youtuber jan Misali ran on Tumblr a few months ago (she lost to Vivian in the final)

@@tountoes1677 The 80-1 characters seems pretty accurate.
I’m honestly shocked that Peachette beat her noncanon Bowser counterpart
Hiii Joe
@@ruby_waffle heyyy
I'm more surprised that Schaffrillas actually had a bit of a change of heart with her and found her kinda fun. Ngl, PGP definitely is the worst character of the 2. Hell, Peachette's probably a better character than the babies tbh@@SHcMOOK
@@AidenEmersonI've come around to her as well. I think her lines sounding like a mix between Peach and Toadette is very cool even if it only really works for some of them really well and her biker outfit is unironically super adorable. She became really hard to hate.
Which is probably the main reason along with being in Mario Kart

Everyone is legally obliged to get his moon in every playthrough
Agreed
Snifit should have 50 votes! It's just that 9 of them were filed under "Sniffit", with two "f"s.
On a similar note, "Gigi & Merri" and the "Jellyfish Sisters" are the same, which means they should (collectively or separately) have 7 votes. They're one of the tutorial pairs from _Superstar Saga_ that teach the Hand field moves and Bros. Attacks.
Also, both "Sir Grodus" and just "Grodus" appear in the 8 votes list; which is either an oversight, or a miscount, and Sir Grodus should actually have 16 votes.
Also, 7 people voted Satoru Gojo and 14 voted for Gojo Satoru. As much as I don't care about JJK or Gojo, I must admit this is unfair. Give him his 21!
Bowser's Brother also got 7, but was also at 29. It wasn't even spelt different that time!

I can’t believe Big the Cat is the 2nd most popular Sonic character now
I wonder how much of that is a result of protonjon
It's funny; when I was a kid, he was one of the most hated Sonic characters, mainly because of his fishing gameplay in Sonic Adventure and chasing after Froggy. I never had an issue with him, personally. He's just okay.
Just saying, the funniest part of this whole video was the 1-3 vote montages. Your work does not go unnoticed LMFAO
Luigi wins by doing ABSOLUTELY NOTHING

Shoutout to Fawful and Vivian for making the top 20
I'm actually really impressed by the opening montages of Mario characters. Half the time, I'm wondering "how is this character related to Mario at all", and the other half I'm reminiscing about characters I'd forgotten. Thanks for the ridiculously long editing hours for those!
Oh hey, didn't expect to see Screenhog here! #WaddleOn ❤🎉
16:58 I'd like to thank all 7 of my fans for voting me, Count Cannoli, as your favourite mario character! It means a lot to me 💜 Remember to Buy Wario: Master of Disguise for Nintendo DS!
Note: Yes, I did vote for myself! What's it to you!?
hey, voting is really important. (hey, register to vote if you haven't!)
You have no idea how happy it makes me to see Vivian making it all the way to 16th. Obviously I know she's always been a well-loved character, but to make it _this_ far? Above every other RPG exclusive, outranked solely by mainstays like Luigi and Bowser? For a character who has only had one true appearance in the entire franchise (I hope that changes in the future...), that is absolutely awesome. Not to say I don't love other characters in the RPGs (certified Fawful fan), but Vivian is just such a wonderful and sweet character, definitely a contender for my favourite Mario character of all despite her rarity in the series, and I'm glad she continues to receive so much love.
Glad to see K. Rool made it to the top 50 as well. I know some write him off as a Bowser clone, but as anyone who is actually familiar with him will know, he's a lot more than that.
Mad Piano was the basis for a one-off mimic joke in my home D&D game. He was promptly adopted and has joined the main party as a permanent NPC companion.
I'm surprised at you, Schafrillas! You brought up Book of Mario: Thousands of Doors, but didn't mention or credit its creator! He's a delightful but undeservedly small UA-camr named Fatguy703, he makes Paper Mario content.
oh thats cool. boosting this
The funniest thing about this list is that it implies that Mario fans like Big the Cat over Shadow The Hedgehog 😂
LOL
2:47:07 Accidentally cut the video off so it sounded like Schaffrillas said “He's a door.” I just destroyed myself with laughter.
That’s absolutely something that would be in a schaffrillas ytp. Just the audio being cut off like that and a png of a door being placed on the frame as he says it
Oh I’m glad to see the persona 3 protagonist getting referenced
So quirky
Luigi when he gets number one: "You just got Luigi'd!"
As someone who’s always liked Waluigi since I was a kid, he’s such an interesting case study. Without having any main line appearances or his own main game, he’s really been cemented as one of the 10 main characters in Mario. I feel like any list of main Mario characters without him doesn’t feel right. I hope some day he either gets a main line appearance or into smash
The 10 to me: Mario, Luigi, Peach, Bowser, Daisy, Rosalina, Wario, Waluigi, Toad, and Yoshi
I'd place Donkey Kong as one of the main 10 over Rosalina, Rosalina was a later addition to the cast and though she's made countless appearances since Galaxy I still see her as more of a secondary character than part of the main cast. It could also be argued that Birdo and Toadette could be added to make a main 12.
Let's be real, Waluigi only scored this high because of the memes. He's the Big the Cat of Mario, originally derided because he looks weird, has a weird voice and seems like an irrelevant addition to the cast, now celebrated for all the same reasons. Not that I *don't* want to see him and Wario in stuff like Mario&Luigi, but this is clearly less about what Nintendo has actually done with the character and more what the fandom got out of him.
I feel like Toadette or Bowser Jr deserves a spot on here but idk
@@rainpooper7088I think a huge part of his relevance is really how he slots into the void of an opposite to Luigi. Like the whole set up is incomplete without a brother for Wario, it just took a tennis game for us to know it. There's a negative waluigi shaped space in the Mario roster when he's not there, idont think the same could be said for Big the Cat

I'm sure the overlap is not _that_ bad considering the Sweater from I Am A Teacher Super Mario Sweater got a special mention.
no way the overlap is low
Recently they officially changed Banzai Bill's name into "Bomber Bill"
This video is literally unwatchable
That’s only in the movie, where General Koopa uses his spiny shell and yells blue shell.
@@Sean-qg3gg In a recent Mario Party Jamboree screenshot there's a minigame description that has the said bullet and calls it Bomber Bill, i think they did updated his name permanently
I think it's because of the association of the word "banzai" with the Japanese Empire, which is a really bad thing in especially South Korea and also other countries than ended up under its rule
@@cescobb4647 in Japanese and Korean it's called a magnum killer, not banzai bill. I doubt south Koreans were considered at all regarding the name change, though they may have considered the Asian diaspora in the united states.
banzai bill is a localised name and as such the concerns of changing it are exclusively for English speaking territories.
@FishyAshB I imagine they changed it because having a reference to kamikaze pilots in a Mario game is a little wack

the 1 vote list is so interesting because you can definitely see picks like KP Koopa, or Dread Kong, both a unique take on existing designs on the Mario Universe. But you can also see "The nine iron from Mario Gold Super Rush", and fanfic characters
And Bank of America, the most underrated Mario character ever
Great video as per usual (top 3 was definitely a shock), and on MC Ballyhoo(1:25:25)- I would NOT surprised if a good chunk of his votes came from the "Mario Anti-Piracy" trend from 2020 followed by their appearance in Mario's Madness, a super-popular horror FNF mod. His song, No Party, was already considered one of the best, but excellent lyrical covers by his voice actor, Juno Songs, also helped. Maybe I'm just biased as someone *in* the FNF fandom, but I think it's something to consider in terms of recency bias.
