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]] (known then as Princess Toadstool), [[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."

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. | ||
During Mario and Mallow's visit to Rose Town where it was besieged by the Smithy Gang's lieutenant, {{s|mariowiki|Bowyer}}, the two heroes arrived at the Toad Inn where Mario witnessed a Toad child named Gaz playing with his dolls of Mario, Toadstool, and Bowser. Agreeing to Gaz's mom's request to play with her son, Mario pretended to be Bowser while Gaz pretended to be his favorite doll, Geno. Gaz played too roughly, however, when Gaz used Geno's "Super Star Shot" to hit the Bowser doll, but ended up hitting Mario instead, knocking the plumber unconscious. | During Mario and Mallow's visit to Rose Town where it was besieged by the Smithy Gang's lieutenant, {{s|mariowiki|Bowyer}}, the two heroes arrived at the Toad Inn where Mario witnessed a Toad child named Gaz playing with his dolls of Mario, Toadstool, and Bowser.

That evening, | That evening, ♥♪!? appeared at the inn in his star form. Spotting the dolls, ♥♪!? chose to inhabit the Geno doll as he appeared the strongest out of the dolls. Possessing the doll, ♥♪!? assumed Geno's identity. Geno initially had trouble walking, running into a wall before he left the inn. | ||
The next morning, Gaz told his mother that he saw the living Geno walk out of the living room. While Gaz's mom did not believe him, Mario and Mallow explored the Forest Maze to find the animated Geno doll. Geno entered the Forest Maze to challenge Bowyer and retrieve the green Star Piece found by Bowyer's minions. Mario and Mallow decided to join Geno in his battle against Bowyer, and together, they defeated Bowyer and retrieved the green Star Piece. After defeating Bowyer, Geno reveals his origins as the warrior from the Star Road and assumed his Geno form to fight the Smithy Gang. He also explained that without the seven Star Pieces, the Star Road could never be repaired, and everyone's wishes would never come true. Geno then joins Mario and Mallow in their quest to defeat Smithy, recover the seven Star Pieces, and repair the Star Road. | The next morning, Gaz told his mother that he saw the living Geno walk out of the living room.

As a result, they have made very few appearances in other media, the only non-''Smash'' game appearances of a ''Super Mario RPG'' character since its first release have been a brief cameo role for Geno 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) and an upcoming remake of the game. | ||
