Paper Mario is the main titular protagonist of the video game series with the same name.
He is a paper form of Mario, based on his appearances who came out of a magical book in Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam.
What Makes Him Pure Good?[]
- Mario has twice rejected his chances to side with two of the most dangerous villains, the Shadow Queen and Dimentio, who try to destroy the world, and fought to save his world and the entire multiverse in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door and Super Paper Mario.
- Saved Paper Princess Peach from Paper Bowser in the first game.
- Shows no hate for Jr. Troopa dispite the later antagonsing him.
- He is capable of forming friendships with everyone which even included his enemies when faced with a common threat.
- He frequently goes out of his way to help others on his quests, even when they're not directly tied to his main mission. A good example of this is in The Thousand Year Door when even after Doopliss steals his identity and appearance, leaving him as a nameless shadow, he still stops to help Vivian find an important item she had lost even though she was part of the Shadow Sirens and, therefore, an enemy. This act of kindness and the way he subsequently treated her, in stark contrast with the abusive way her older sister, Bedlam, treated her, led to her redeeming herself and joining Mario's side.
- After defeating Doopliss and getting his body and name back, Mario stood up for Vivian, and allowed her to join his team.
- He refused to kill Count Bleck when he had him at his mercy, so Tippi is given time to reform him and do the right thing.
- He revives Kersti, even though she had been rude and bossy towards him.
- Restores all the Toads by giving their color back, as well as Prisma Island, and unfolding them from their origami forms.
- Mario is very sensible and would console Olivia when she mourned Bobby's death, and proceeds to cheer her up at Bobby's spirit's advice, so they can continue their journey to destroy the streamers that block the entrance to Peach's Castle.
- He had to defeat King Olly after the latter rejected a chance at redemption several times, prior to being injured beyond repair by Olivia's hammer form that he used.
- In Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam, he:
- Helps Mario and Luigi save both versions of Princess Peach from Bowser.
- Helps save the Toads that were enslaved by both versions of Bowser.
- Helps stop both versions of Bowser from trying to destroy the Paperverse book.
- Despite his silent personality, he is still shows positive traits such as kindness and empathy, which is what he treats his partners with and is what gave Vivian the push to stand up to her sisters and redeem herself. On that note, he always shows great care for his friends and family.
- In The Origami King, when he realized what Bobby was about to do to free Olivia he tried to stop him and hopefully find a another way to free Olivia without Bobby sacrificing himself but he fails, he was also sad at Bobby’s death.
- Just like his mainstream counterpart, he is a great person and hero who cares for a multitude of people.
- While there are multiple moments where Mario can choose to have corrupting factors, these corrupting paths aren't canonic to the story as Mario canonically would never make bad actions on purpose.
Trivia[]
- He is the second version of Mario to ever count as Pure Good.
