History
Long ago, the trusted adviser of the Royal Koopa Line, Kamek, prophesized that two babies would cause disaster that would befall the Koopas. In order to prevent this, Kamek attempted to abduct the young Star Children, but ultimately failed thanks to the intervention of the Yoshis. The two babies would grow up to become Mario and Luigi, plumbers extraordinaire. The most popular of the two is undoubtedly the brave red-clad Italian who needs little introduction. The legendary hero of the Mushroom Kingdom started off a mere plumber, but has over time earned his fame from various feats of heroism and adventure. Apart from saving Princess Peach from the clutches of the Koopa King, Bowser, Mario has battled with Donkey Kong, played various sports, held various occupations, traveled through space, and much more. Over time, Mario and his brother became the official "superstars" of the Mushroom Kingdom, and have continued to thwart the many evil forces that dare threaten their world ever since. No matter the foe, obstacle, or genre, Mario will stand tall and face it head on.

Mario killed the Scout Trooper and sent Sonic flying at the beginning of the race by blasting them off the track with a Bullet Bill. He ends up being the third racer eliminated from the race after a Bob-omb he tossed at Sonic is sent back at him from the track's Barrel Cannon, which then blows him up and sends him flying off the track.
