Looking at the best partners across the Mario franchise
Posted on 2 months ago by Ethan in Features, General Nintendo | 0 comments
Today, we’re looking at all of Mario’s partners – not just from the Paper Mario series, but from almost every game in the entire franchise.
Over the years, Mario has been accompanied by many different partners – some of whom haven’t appeared since their initial debut. At the time of writing, the greater Mario franchise is in something of a transitional period. We do have Mario & Luigi: Brothership coming up, but beyond that everything is presumably being saved for Nintendo’s next console. That means it’s as good a time as any to review all of Mario’s partners and ask: which is your favorite?

Original (8/31): During today’s Super Mario Bros. Wonder Direct, the Switch OLED – Mario Red Edition was announced. It’s due out on October 6, 2023.
The system features Mario-related designs including the Mario silhouette on the back of the red dock. If you open the back of the dock, you will also find an illustration of hidden coins. Super Mario Bros. Wonder is not included, so you’ll need to pick that up separately if you’re interested.
