Another fresh headcanon!

Mario gets bored easily. Surprising I bet. He loves to create random, often abstract, art whenever he gets the opportunity or his muse strikes. He's capable of making some pretty good pieces when he assigns enough time to it. I get this idea from Mario Paint. A pencil/pen isn't foreign to him but painting offers a certain freedom is what he figures and most often he'll stick to that. Unfortunately he doesn't have his own studio. He'll have to travel somewhere in order to indulge in this hobby but that's never been a problem for him.

He's got a lot of unfinished projects though...

Yet another Headcanon!

Throughout his childhood Mario has been a rowdy, rough & tumble person. Whether that be jumping off random objects in the house, throwing things, getting himself injured frequently, he was very active at most times. Of course he participated in sports half because Papa Mario wanted him to get out that energy and because he liked it.

As he grew up he, of course, calmed down significantly and found a way to channel that inner mischief to something positive. Like adventuring! Being in the Mushroom Kingdom means there's never a dull moment and the beautiful landscape gives him something to look at while there's a drop in the action at least.

A not so wholesome headcanon

It's not hard to scare Mario but it is pretty tough to terrify him. Usually, nonsensical things can do the job! Prime example: the piano from Big Boo's Haunt! "A piano with-a teeth? And it moves?!"Mario thought while he desperately scrambled for the red coin it was guarding with ferocity. The encounter with that singular piano was enough to make him weary of any and all pianos. On the off chance they may have teeth and wish murder upon all who are around, Mario can never take that chance again.

That piano has haunted him ever since. He can't shake it and isn't willing to try at this point.

Bros headcanon time!

Given their unique hats, I think that Mario(& Luigi) go through a lotta trouble to maintain them. Basic cleaning, brushing, and whatnot is expected of course but I am talking specifically advanced stuff. Like sewing! I believe that both the bros know how to sew but Luigi is the better of them both. For example, if Mario's hat had a split he could sew it closed but it would be quite obvious it had sustained damage prior. The thread sticking out, not being tied off properly, you get the idea.

Meanwhile, Luigi would be able to, given the time, mend it to look good as knew! No thread showing, a seamless closing of the split, and so on.

Heaven forbid a catastrophic event such as in the beginning of Odyssey where his hat is destroyed of course, but more often than not the bros are doing their own restoration when it comes to headgear, their trademark clothes, etc etc.

Career Headcanon

Mario's got a wide range of vocations to speak of! Plumbing was his first love of course and he does a very good job of it. He's quite meticulous as he believes the work you do is a reflection of you like any good worker would think. Double and triple checking is a regular thing for the man.

As for being a so-called Doctor, he's definitely got the credentials but is a general practitioner. In layman's terms a family doctor. He can diagnose, prescribe treatments/prescription, and interpret test results for his patients. This would also include pharmaceutical science, given he developed his own form of medicine, the Megavitamin, and cured the common virus.

These are the most notable careers he's had, along with him being a construction worker in wrecking crew but we'd be here all day listing his vocations.

Tiny Headcanon!

Given he still has a full head of hair(despite always wearing something over it, being in constantly stressful situations, and getting burned, shocked, or otherwise engulfed in full body injuries) Mario's hair is quite luxurious. Soft, full, not at all patchy, and just all around a joy to interact with. He takes great care of it, uses a range of products on it, and makes sure to keep it hydrated with a good cream before leaving the house. Might even cycle between a few faux styles but ultimately deciding to let it lay.

Eepy Headcanon

Mario's active imagination lends itself to the influence of the day really easily. Sometimes the focus of his day could be the subject his subconscious explores at night or something small, like a rock. Mario is a very heavy sleeper which has its advantages but also drawbacks. For example: nightmares don't jolt him out of his sleep unless he makes a conscious effort to wake up. The worst and actually most enduring Nightmare he had put him in front of the great Wart and even that wasn't enough to bring him out of his spell.

Just a bad dream and Mario went on about his day, albeit with a slight headache from the tensing of his neck.

A Headcanon For The Masses!

During Paper Mario:The Thousand Year Door we see that Luigi is entrenched in his own adventure to save someone called Princess Eclair. When Luigi recounts this however, Mario often falls asleep. Luigi never comments on this, but I like to believe Mario asked him how things turned out again when the bros recruited back at home. Though, upon being awake for the retelling, Mario plainly dismisses it with "I don't believe-a you." Not out of malice but given the ridiculous detail. Of course, his own adventure was pretty out there...

Then, one day, Jerry shows up! Jerry is a Bob-omb who has a cherry stem for a fuse and swore to ensure Luigi never wears a dress again. When asked who he is and why the visit, Jerry would be able to confirm the parts of his story he was involved with causing Mario to regret ever dismissing his brothers claims.

TLDR: When Mario receives the details of Luigi and the Marvelous Compass, he doesn't believe his brother. Then, a partner of Luigi's shows up and makes Mario look dumb

Pointless Headcanon

Mario isn't too big on tea. He doesn't see a point really. Why not grab a chuckola cola? Or literally anything else. When offered though, he'll take & drink it out of respect for the host. Toadsworth is a man he respects so he'll drink his tea no problem!

Headcanons from beyond!

The koopalings! Interesting subject really, one has to wonder where they came from exactly. Heck, one of 'em is called Morton Koopa Jr! They're Bowser's adopted kids and all but their origins would be nice to hear. Anyway! What this has to do with Mario is that Mario harbors no ill will towards the Koopalings themselves. This war, feud, ongoing kerfuffle really with Bowser he sees as between them & them alone! The Koopalings, much like many of Bowser's forces, are only following orders.

When they're around they do make him nervous because they indicate trouble. But if he can treat Bowser with some decorum when in a casual setting then of course his underlings will get that same treatment, unless established otherwise between them personally. Mario actually thinks since they're little kids he should lead by example. Showing them what it's like to be nice and turn the other cheek really.

This also applies to Bowser Jr! With him being next in line for the throne, if Mario could somehow get on good terms with Bowser Jr then just maybe this feud with the Mushroom Kingdom could end there, especially since there's no telling when either Bowser or Mario's game is gonna end. Whose will end first is also a grim thought.

Overall, Mario tries to treat any & all on a case by case basis. Except pianos.
