The Super Mario franchise is one of the biggest gaming franchises of all time. Being the king of platformers and Nintendo's mascot, many gamers love Mario. They also adore his friends and foes, such as Yoshi, Donkey Kong, and Bowser.
If fans have ever wondered what Super Mario character they were most similar to, they may take a look at the Chinese Zodiac in order to try and figure it out. The Chinese Zodiac can tell a lot about someone's personality based on the year they were born. Here are the animals from the Chinese Zodiac that match up with Mario and his co-super star's personalities.
12 Rat: Professor E Gadd
The creator of F.L.U.D.D. and the Poltergusts is none other than Professor E Gadd. Those that were born on the Year of the Rat are known to be liked by many. As Professor E Gadd has worked with both the Mario brothers and Bowser's army, he is friends with nearly everyone in the Mushroom Kingdom. The mad scientist is also one of the most rich characters in the franchise and Rats are known for having money. If a fan was born in 1972, 1984, 1996, 2008, or 2020, they are the mad scientist of the Super Mario series.
11 Ox: Kamek
Kamek is Bowser's closest minion and has been helping the Koopa King since he was a baby. Those that were born on the Year of the Ox are loyal, smart, and don't seek the spotlight so it makes sense that Kamek would be born an Ox. Oxen also don't get angry that often, and Kamek is one of the calmer antagonists in the Super Mario games. If a player was born in the years 1961, 1973, 1985, 1997, or 2009, they are the most loyal Magikoopa there is.
10 Tiger: Wario
Wario is one of Mario's greatest rivals, having been both a protagonist and an antagonist throughout the years. Due to his adventurous and confident personality, it makes sense that Wario would be born on the Year of the Tiger. No matter how many times he and Waluigi fail at taking down the Mario bros, they don't give up.
Those that were born in 1962, 1974, 1986, 1998, or 2010 are antihero of the series.
9 Rabbit: Peach
Those that were born on the Year of the Rabbit are known for their kindness, purity, and patience. With how long Peach waits for Mario to save her each time she gets kidnapped, she clearly has the patience of a Rabbit. Peach has always been one of the more soft spoken characters in the franchise, which makes sense as Rabbits are also very quiet. No wonder there are rabbits in her castle. If a fan was born in 1963, 1975, 1987, 1999, or 2011, then they are the superstar princess of the Mushroom Kingdom.
8 Dragon: Bowser
How could the fire breathing Koopa King not have been born on the Year of the Dragon? Like Dragons, Bowser is powerful and courageous. He never gives up on his goals and always comes up with a new idea to get what he wants whenever Mario defeats him. However, his personality can also come in handy whenever he joins forces with Mario and his other rivals. Fans who were born in 1964, 1976, 1988, 2000, or 2012 are the leaders of the Koopa King's army.
7 Snake: Rosalina
Rosalina is one of the most wise beings in not only the Mushroom Kingdom, but the entire galaxy! This comet queen has vast knowledge about the universe and is a mother figure for the Lumas, showing her maturity compared to other characters across the games. Her maturity and desire to protect those that are dear to her are a result of her tragic backstory, one of the darkest stories in the series. If players were born in 1965, 1977, 1989, 2001, or 2013, they are the observer of the galaxy.
6 Horse: Toad
Toad is one of the most outgoing and energetic characters in the Super Mario games. Though Horses like being the center of attention, they also care for others, and Toad is one of Mario's most helpful comrades. After all, he gives the plumber all the stars he finds.
Players born in 1966, 1978, 1990, 2002, or 2014 are the reliable and gleeful residents of the Mushroom Kingdom.
5 Sheep: Luigi
Luigi is kind and reserved, which makes him a Sheep. Many people think that Luigi, as well as those born on the Year of the Sheep, are soft. But Luigi has always been one of the bravest characters in the series as he constantly faces his fears, even if he still gets scared by King Boo and other creatures throughout the series. Though he is often alone, especially in the Luigi's Mansion titles, he loves spending time with his brother and friends. If players were born in 1967, 1979, 1991, 2003, or 2015, they are the Mario brother dressed in green.
4 Monkey: Donkey Kong
Who didn't see this one coming? Donkey Kong has always been very smart, ever since his debut back in 1981. There's not many gorillas that can kidnap mayors while driving their owners bananas. People born in the Year of the Monkey like to challenge themselves, just as Donkey Kong does in the Donkey Kong Country games where he fights against other animals with his funky friends and his family in order to get their favorite snack back. If fans were born in 1968, 1980, 1992, 2004, or 2016, they are the start of success due to their intelligence and can get those in their way to jump all the way to the Mushroom Kingdom.
3 Rooster: Bowser Jr
The prince to the Koopa throne is outgoing and loyal to his comrades, as well as his father, making him a Rooster. However, Bowser Jr. does get upset when those he cares about do not pay him enough attention. People that were born on the Year of the Rooster do not like being ignored or silenced and neither does Bowser's son.
If fans were born in 1969, 1981, 1993, 2005, or 2017, they will one day rule over Bowser's army.
2 Dog: Yoshi
Ever since they were babies, Yoshi has shown nothing but loyalty towards the Mario brothers. As long as he is with them, he has a positive look on life, just like people that were born on the Year of the Dog do. No wonder one of his closest friends is Poochy. Those born in 1970, 1982, 1994, 2006, or 2018 are everyone's favorite dinosaur.
1 Pig: Mario
The superstar of the franchise is certainly a Pig. Mario has always been confident in his goals. Whether it be saving Princess Peach from Bowser's wrath, collecting as many coins as possible, or being qualified for any job imaginable, Mario has always been one to go after what he wants. Fans born in 1971, 1983, 1995, 2007, or 2019 are the most popular superstars in the franchise.
