Personality
Mario is usually the "straight man" in his partnership with Jerry. He is described by Quinn Vischer as his inner Mr. William. Mario is calm and nice, though he does get annoyed at times, especially during the What Have We Learned song. He tries to keep things maintained and likes it consistence as it was. However, he gets frustrated when things don't go well, such as when he see what the of ObjectTales might be if robots take over, and when he wanted to tell a story of Jorgen and his pet monkey in A Doodle's Tale.

Mario is often a deadpan snarker, and he doesn't like taking jokes seriously, especially from Jerry and Xwerty. He often has his moments where he's often out of character, and sometimes devious. Regardless, Mario is calm and very nice.

Physical appearance and abilities
Mario is a yellow candlelabra. Over the years, his body took from being elastic to more candle-like consistency. Since ObjectTales in the House, he gained blue eyes.

Mario is known for working as a chemist and likes painting.
