REMINDER: While I'm allowing multiple variants of the same species, I encourage everyone to try to be as unique with your choices as you can. Mario has a large character roaster, and I would love for this chart to represent that in some capacity.

    NOTE: To speed things up, I've added all the Mario characters who won the Nintendo Dex game that occurred on this subreddit. If you don't agree with one of these placements, you have two options:

    1. Wait until we get close to their slot and vote on a poll to decide if they should stay or be replaced
    2. If you think a character here would fit better for today's typing, you can comment to have them moved here (or one of their alternate versions if they have one). If that becomes the most upvoted comment, I'll do just that

    This chart will go column by column, starting up and going down. We start at the left-side and move one column to the right. I'll do my best to post daily around this time.

    RULES:

    • Suggest any Mario character, including mainline series, spin-offs, and series dedicated to specific characters (e.g. Luigi's Mansion, Warioware, Donkey Kong Country)
    • I will also allow characters from non-gaming Mario media (e.g. shows, movies, anime, manga)
    • Only official Nintendo-owned characters allowed. NO fanmade characters (e.g. Bowsette) or third-party characters. This also means NO non-owned characters that have appeared via crossovers (e.g. Sonic characters from "Mario & Sonic")
    • NO inanimate objects allowed (e.g mushroom and fire flower)
    • I will NOT allow multiple forms of the same character (e.g Mario and Fire Mario)
    • I will allow multiple variants of the same species. HOWEVER, they have to be different enough to where they can't be the same character with just a minor difference. For example, Pokey and Snow Pokey are different enough to be two different characters. Goomba and Paragoomba will NOT be allowed together because Paragoomba is just the normal goomba with wings
    • On certain occasions, I may allow multiple characters for one slot depending on the circumstances
    • This chart will ignore primary and secondary typing. For example, Grass/Normal and Normal/Grass are treated the same

    1. After a lot of thinking, I’ve decided that I’ll allow multiple variants of the same species. HOWEVER, they have to be different enough from each other in a way that separates them as their own entities. For example, I’ve allowed the normal pokey and snow pokey as they cannot be the same character, but I will NOT allow both the normal goomba and paragoomba because paragoombas are just normal goombas with wings.

      I also have a similar rule prohibiting different forms of the same character. For example, Mario and Fire Mario will NOT be allowed together.

      To be completely honest, I’m not 100% satisfied with this rule because I want this chart to represent the large variety of characters that existed in the Mario series. But if there’s anything I’ve learned from these kind of games, it’s that I’ll never be completely happy with the results. So it’s best that I go with what the majority wants rather than trying to be a perfectionist for my own personal gain.
