Mario

Mario is an Italian-American plumber, who travels to the Mushroom Kingdom, sometimes bringing his brother Luigi along. The Princess Toadstool of the Mushroom Kingdom, Peach, is repeatedly kidnapped by Bowser, King of the Koopa. Each time Princess Peach is captured, Mario, and sometimes Luigi, have to travel across several different worlds to rescue her.

There are a few exceptions to this. In Super Mario Land, Mario travels to Sarasaland to rescue Princess Daisy from the evil alien Tatanga. In Super Mario Land 2: Six Golden Coins, Mario's evil counterpart Wario steals his castle and seals it shut with six golden coins. Mario has to find and recover the coins so that he can unseal the magic keeping him out of his castle and defeat Wario.

The Yoshis then set out to defeat Kamek, reunite the twins, and make sure the babies are delivered to their parents.
