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.
@Door227 The Koopalings are adopted at best and really self-sufficient, they help Bowser more than they keep him busy. He's actually pretty self-aware in that particular regard, he even asked them to look out for Junior when he himself is too busy in Bowser Jr's Journey.

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.

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
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
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 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
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 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.
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
2:44:04 I think Mario has more personality than people give credit. He's joyful, he's helpful, he's loving, he's confident, and heck, he even freaked out when he saw Peach locked in a painting in Luigi's Mansion 3. Plus, he loves his brother so much, it tears me up sometimes. Luigi deserves first place, ngl, but let's not forget that little guy too.😊
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
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. It can be used to use to find what tropes appeal most to this niche.
@@algotkristoffersson15Nothing to do with swedish really. It’s just a noun composed of the two words “brother” and “ship” (typical noun ending). Brothership is a real word just like brotherhood. It’s just that they chose it because of the ocean exploring aspect of the game
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!
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 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.
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
If you count anyone who is mentioned on the Super Mario Wiki as a character, then Tony Soprano is eligible because it's stated that Chris Pratt doing an Italian accent for Mario sounded too similar to Tony's voice.
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!
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.
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.
Mario can be seen as an unachievable standard for heroism. He’s unmoored by most threats unless they’re deeply personal to him (like if his brother is endangered). Luigi is far more relatable: a reminder that courage in the face of fear is still courage. The fact that at the end of the day, the narrative treats them both as equally heroic is important and wholesome
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.
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?
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.
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
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
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
Disappointed that nobody voted for the iconic character, Steak. Unless they showed up lower on the list, but even still such an amazing character deserves more love
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
Man even though this video is technically just poll results, it really felt like a celebration of the Mario franchise and going through the history of everything. All the different eras and continuities. The ending montage of the different rankings with Rainbow Road 64 in the background got me lowkey emotional. Great video Schaff.
@@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.
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
40:53 Schaffrillas adding HIMSELF to his own ranking list is the biggest plot twist I’ve ever seen in my entire life. Edit: the fact that the main trio of Mario princesses are in the top 10 makes me happy.
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.
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
@@gazelle_diamond9768 [The following program contains sexual themes and discussion of transphobia. Viewer discretion is advised.] In order to fully understand this, we must peel back the layers. To begin, the comment itself is simple enough. It basically calls Cackletta a villain for making Bowser forcibly transition against his will. Which, yeah, that's a really evil thing to do. Trouble begins when we examine this user's username. For context, do you know how a trap is a device that you catch something with? Well, a certain group of individuals are under the impression that trans women exist just to deceive them for perverted reasons. So they co-opted the term as a slur, and here we are today. That's one part of the username explained, whereas the "sticky" part calls to mind certain bodily fluids. But I wouldn't be so sure about all of this if not for the profile picture. The character is Astolfo from the Japanese light novel series Fate/Apocrypha. He is an effeminately presenting man, which has attracted the attention of many... fans. Characters of this type are extremely popular among Western fans of Japanese media. From here, it doesn't take much imagination to draw a connection between the username and the profile picture. This concludes my explanation. I hope it has given you an appreciation of my disappointment.
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...
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

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
I love this current era of Schaffrillias who just does what he loves because he'll enjoy it. I feel he's always done this ultimately, but you can tell by his recent output how much passion he has for the videos he makes.
The Mario & Luigi blindspot is really felt when talking about Baby Mario, Luigi and Peach, since Schaff completely skipped over their major role in Partners in time. I mean it's tough to have played every single game under the sun but it's unfortunate that these aren't mentioned, since especially for the baby bros it's definitely a huge part of their appeal.
I also noticed that he didn't mention Toadsworth's role in the game and E. Gadd's minor appearance as a character. Ironically in my case Partners in Time is the Mario & Luigi game I grew up playing but I don't have much experience with the others.
@@spongemaster Same as you, I definitely feel the slight generational gap between Schaff's experience with the series and mine (and like, everyone in the comments having their own experiences and obsession). Neat video :D
@keneor4468 That's a good point, Schaff is slightly older than me and based on this video it sounds like he was very much into late 90s/early 2000s Mario before dropping off with a lot of the mid 2000s entries and then coming back to the series with the Wii era. Though at some points in the video he speaks about the Wii era and especially Galaxy as if it was his first real exposure to the series which leaves me a little confused.

@@dyoshi99Brent, is that you?
Imagine the vindication Waluigi would feel finding out how popular he is in OUR universe
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

2:44:04 I think Mario has more personality than people give credit. He's joyful, he's helpful, he's loving, he's confident, and heck, he even freaked out when he saw Peach locked in a painting in Luigi's Mansion 3. Plus, he loves his brother so much, it tears me up sometimes. Luigi deserves first place, ngl, but let's not forget that little guy too.😊

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.

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!

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.
I'm so happy dimentio is so high up.

Mario can be seen as an unachievable standard for heroism. He’s unmoored by most threats unless they’re deeply personal to him (like if his brother is endangered).
Luigi is far more relatable: a reminder that courage in the face of fear is still courage. The fact that at the end of the day, the narrative treats them both as equally heroic is important and wholesome

The funniest thing about this list is that it implies that Mario fans like Big the Cat over Shadow The Hedgehog 😂
LOL
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

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

It occurs to me that Tatanga totally could have shown up in either Galaxy game and made total sense, yet... didn't...
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

In order to fully understand this, we must peel back the layers. To begin, the comment itself is simple enough. It basically calls Cackletta a villain for making Bowser forcibly transition against his will. Which, yeah, that's a really evil thing to do.
Trouble begins when we examine this user's username. For context, do you know how a trap is a device that you catch something with? Well, a certain group of individuals are under the impression that trans women exist just to deceive them for perverted reasons. So they co-opted the term as a slur, and here we are today. That's one part of the username explained, whereas the "sticky" part calls to mind certain bodily fluids.
But I wouldn't be so sure about all of this if not for the profile picture. The character is Astolfo from the Japanese light novel series Fate/Apocrypha. He is an effeminately presenting man, which has attracted the attention of many... fans. Characters of this type are extremely popular among Western fans of Japanese media. From here, it doesn't take much imagination to draw a connection between the username and the profile picture.
This concludes my explanation. I hope it has given you an appreciation of my disappointment.
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...

I also noticed that he didn't mention Toadsworth's role in the game and E. Gadd's minor appearance as a character. Ironically in my case Partners in Time is the Mario & Luigi game I grew up playing but I don't have much experience with the others.
@@spongemaster Same as you, I definitely feel the slight generational gap between Schaff's experience with the series and mine (and like, everyone in the comments having their own experiences and obsession). Neat video :D
@keneor4468 That's a good point, Schaff is slightly older than me and based on this video it sounds like he was very much into late 90s/early 2000s Mario before dropping off with a lot of the mid 2000s entries and then coming back to the series with the Wii era. Though at some points in the video he speaks about the Wii era and especially Galaxy as if it was his first real exposure to the series which leaves me a little confused.
I watched the single votes on x.25 speed. What a very entertaining thirty-two minutes!
