'''Geno''' ({{ja|ジーノ|Jīno}}, ''Geno'') is a character from the {{uv|Mario}} universe.

==Origin==
Geno is one of the two original party member characters from ''{{s|mariowiki|Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars}}'', the first ''Mario'' RPG title. Geno is a warrior from Star Road who allies himself with [[Mario]], [[Princess Peach]], [[Bowser]], and {{s|mariowiki|Mallow}} on their quest to defeat {{s|mariowiki|Smithy}}. Geno's true form is enigmatic, represented in-game by a small star; as an agent of the Star Road, he is implied to be an angel-like being who claims to serve "a higher authority." His true name is given as "♥♪!?" (which he describes as "hard to pronounce"), so he suggests using "Geno," the name of the doll that he has chosen to possess.

Due to ''Super Mario RPG'' having been developed by [[Square Enix|SquareSoft]], its original characters are owned by them rather than [[Nintendo]] despite the fact these characters were created for the ''Mario'' series and not for any other franchise. As a result, they have made very few appearances in other media; Geno's only game appearance after his debut was in a brief cameo role in ''{{s|mariowiki|Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga}}'' in the minigame {{s|mariowiki|Star 'Stache Smash}} (with a quick mention of Square Enix as the copyright holder in the game’s credits). Notably, this cameo was removed in [[mariowiki:Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions|the game's remake]], presumably for licensing reasons.

==In ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''==

Geno appears as the basis of a [[downloadable content]] [[Alternate costume (SSB4)#Wave 5|costume]] for {{SSB4|Mii Gunner}}s. Nintendo also released a [http://www.smashbros.com/images/dlc/image/qr_sample15.jpg QR code] for those who wish to have the exact Mii used in the costume's advertising. The Geno costume was released simultaneously with {{SSB4|Cloud}}, [[Midgar]], and the [[Chocobo]] hat, collectively introducing [[Square Enix]] content to ''Smash''.

==In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''==
Geno appears as a profile icon in the game's online mode, and also appears as a [[Spirits_(characters)|Spirit]] in the game's Adventure Mode, [[Adventure_Mode:_World_of_Light|World of Light]]. His Spirit Battle has the player fighting Sheik (representing Geno himself) along with Mario, Peach, Bowser, and a gray Kirby (representing Mallow), who comprise the primary cast from ''Super Mario RPG''. He is a Legend class Spirit and can be found in the Light Realm’s outer-space section in the map’s northern portion.

==Trivia==
*[[Masahiro Sakurai]] wanted to add Geno as a playable character since the development of ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' due to him thinking of his arm cannon as a factor for his uniqueness, and acknowledged the character's popularity. The reason why he has never been added is unknown.<ref>[http://www.sourcegaming.info/2016/02/21/nintendodream3/ Nintendo Dream Interview with Sakurai: Part 3] Source Gaming</ref>
*Due to Square Enix's ownership of the character (as well as any character created for ''Super Mario RPG''), Geno is the only third-party character in the ''[[Super Smash Bros. (series)| Super Smash Bros.]]'' series to be from a first-party universe (In this case, the {{uv|Mario}} universe).
*Geno was tied with Mallow as the 8th most requested ''Mario'' series character for ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'', according to a poll on the Japanese Nintendo website.<ref>[https://www.nintendo.co.jp/n01/n64/software/nus_p_nalj/smash/PostResult3.html Japanese Nintendo Website Poll Results] Nintendo.co.jp</ref>
