What kind of personality would you give Mario?

The idiot who puts things in the wrong board.
Mario has generally been known to be a rather flat character, not having much beyond being really happy go lucky and enthusiastic about everything he does, which while not bad traits in of themselves they do feel a bit lacking compared to other characters.

So its simple really, what kind of developed personality would you give Mario, without completely overhauling him from the ground up into something radically different.
 
Id rather the games give him a personality according to the player, in other words able to choose marios actions, reactions, and so forth.
 
A generally happy, friendly and forgiving yet competitive dude who's strong sense of justice about helping those in need and fierce loyalty to his friends and family allow him to write off the casualties of his adventures with an "ends justify the means" point of view. He'd rather not have to fight, but that won't stop him from opposing evildoers and even enjoying himself while he's at it.
 
You know how in Paper Mario, the NPCs ask you questions and you can respond with totally rude/insane/stupid answers? I want that Mario.

Sounds like our current Mario. Not bad, though. I would have given him that, but not have said it that well.
 
He's a nice guy that everyone in Mushroom Land likes because he keeps the Koopas at bay. He's more impulsive compared to his brother and will often leap before he looks. Good thing he keeps those 1-Up Mushrooms.

The princess has feelings for him, but his only true love is saving the land (and food).
 
Tempted to write a long story about Mario, Luigi and Peach as the sole survivors on a post-apocalyptic Earth who are taken captive by Bowser, an evil galactic emperor who was responsible for the wipeout of all life on Earth except the aforementioned survivors.

But I'm too lazy to come up with any story past that.

yeah but you dont get to answer questions often though :(
 
1.Nice to good characters and even to the Koopa Troop if they are not a threat.

2. Adventurous, unlike Luigi gets ahead of himself, example Luigi's Mansion.

3.Likes food like pasta, pizza, and cake.

4. Can be feisty when necessary.

5. Doesn't like the wicked Wario or the bad Bowser and sometimes the dreadful Donkey Kong.

6. Obviously loves Peach, but not in the mushy way.

7. Get's along with his brother Luigi and they can disagree with eachother at some moments over either serious or petty reasons.

8. Treats Yoshi like his trusty steed and friend and can get frustrated if Yoshi gets too uncontrollable.

9. Can get competitive against Wario or Waluigi.

10. Likes to train Toads into heroes such as the blue toad and yellow toad.

11.Likes funky music

12. And picnics especially if there is spaghetti.

Most of this is a mixture of his different adapations including the cartoons and the comics.
