I find the appeal of Geno really hard to understand. He's a wooden puppet with a gun for a hand who's possessed by a star. An original and interesting concept, don't get me wrong, but even when compared to other Mario RPG characters he's not that unique. A cloud who can control the weather and was raised by frogs, a transgender witch-ghost with fire hands, a narcissistic but heroic warrior made of beans, deranged rabbit versions of existing characters - I can see why people like ol' Howdy Doody over there, but I don't get why he's so popular.
