Now, don’t let the title mislead you, as this Top Ten isn’t just about the characters from Super Mario RPG. We’re discussing the top characters in any Mario RPG, and there are quite a few cool and oddball ones to cover. This time around we’re joined with a special guest contributor, my sister, Angela Marrujo! She’s as passionate about Nintendo and video games as yours truly, and she was kind enough to join me in my ruminations. Please note that the first appearances listed refer to the character’s debut in a Mario RPG. Without further ado, here are the best of the best Mario RPG characters!

I was about to complain that Geno wasn’t number one, and then I saw Fawful and realized that, yes, Geno is not as awesome as Fawful. He had Fury! And as he would like to remind you:
“But…the day comes soon when Fawful rises again, and then no baby’s candy has safety! I am counting chickens before they are even eggs, before the chickens are even chickens!
I miss Jr. Troopa. He had a very brief cameo in TTYD, though. I miss Paper Mario in general. Like… REAL Paper Mario type stuff. I was a big fan of Super Paper Mario, and was glad to see the change in gameplay. I expected Sticker Star to be like the first two games, but it really wasn’t. Not to say that Sticker Star wasn’t a great game in its own right, but I want another Paper Mario with a long story, crazy partners and action commands, and a seamless world.
