History
Mario was born as one of the seven Star Children destined for greatness. He and his little brother, Luigi, eventually found jobs in New Donk City as humble plumbers, until they somehow wound up in the Mushroom Kingdom. The brothers soon learned that the kingdom had been conquered by the notorious Koopa Troop and its ruler, Princess Peach, had been kidnapped the evil Koopa King, Bowser. Being the Good Samaritans they are, the Mario Brothers eventually saved the kingdom, defeated Bowser, and rescued the princess.
