Origin

Geno is one of the two original party member characters from 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 Mallow on their quest to defeat Smithy. Geno's true form is enigmatic, as the body he fights with is in fact a doll he is possessing, and his true name is given as the unpronounceable ♥♪!?.

Due to Super Mario RPG having been developed by SquareSoft, its original characters are owned by that company rather than Nintendo. 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 Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga in the minigame Star 'Stache Smash. Since Super Mario RPG, he has been highly requested for a return to the Mario series among fans, and has even been brought up numerous times as a possible newcomer to the Super Smash Bros. series.
