No, because if he played the game again and focused on the story than he'd realize that everyone supported Geno on his quest.

Just because its his quest doesn't mean he is the main character, he is a supporting character.
When did I say he was the main character? The main character is obviously Mario but Geno has the most important motive in Mario RPG.

Save Star Road
Defeat Smithy

He helped Geno and supported him on Geno's journey.

Then what were you arguing against?

1. Minor role, he was talking about Mario and Luigi: Superstar saga

2. But then what is he? The second most important role under Main character and antagonist is usually the supporting character.

Well, the last game that Geno had a starting role in was how long ago?

Also, he isn't exactly all important to the Mario franchise. He makes one minor appearance in one game and is a major supporting character in another, but this hardly helps his chances. And Nintendo's relationship with SE is pretty bad. I'd see a more recent character like Paper Mario (Super Paper Mario) and Bowser Jr. in before him.
How so? He is important for the fact he came out in the first Mario RPG game in which Nintendo worked close with a 3rd party for the first time. Also character appearances don't matter that much, if that were really the case Waluigi wouldn't have ended up as an AT. Characater's role in games>Character appearance. Also Nintendo's current relationship with SE isn't that bad currently. If it were they wouldn't have added SE characters in Mario 3on3 hoops or Nintendo wouldn't have added their characters in that Itadaki Street game. I've said this before Geno's chances are better, if not, as good as Bowser Jr's or Paper Mario's.

Exactly my point, people say some characters like Waluigi are important to the Mario franchise because he keeps recurring in their sports/party games. But we all saw that happened there >_>. Also back when SSB 64 came out, Luigi was only known as a supporting character since the only game he had his own was "Mario Is Missing" which was horrible, sold horribly, and mostly no one even heard or knew about.

Doubtful. I think he was talking about Mario RPG. A lot of people call his role in that game 'minor',

Geno is the Main Protagonist/Hero. Mario is the main character because it's his game but Geno played the most important role. He's the main hero. He had help. He didn't give it.

Waluigi didn't get in because he had appearances in minor games.
I think Waluigi didn't get in mostly because he's a piece of **** character.

And are we honestly arguing whether or not Geno was the main character of SMRPG again? Come on guys.

Mario is the main character. He always will be.

That is true but was he the main hero? No, Geno was.

No one ever said that. Ever. Ever. And considering Luigi has had a supporting role in most of the Super Mario bros games and has been in most if not all Mario bros related media, I think that places him a little higher than Geno and Waluigi.

Waluigi was a piece of sh*t filler that never contributed to the important Mario games. Geno did. One important role that did two major good things in one.

I don't think I'd consider someone you find halfway through the game to be the hero. Mario is the playable character, making Mario the main character, and also the hero.

I wouldn't say half way. I'd say less than a quarter way. And, because Mario is the most playable character inthe game (because you can't switch him out) doesn't necessarily make him the hero of the game. He is the main character, yes. He is always set to be playable, yes. The game is called Mario RPG, yes, but his role in the game wasn't as big as Geno's in Mario RPG. HE had help to save Star Road. He had help to defeat Smithy anf by defeating Smithy, he saved the Mushroom Kingdom but couldn't have done it alone.

Oh believe me I've seen some people say that. Sometimes I think they are joking, but they're not. :ohwell:

Point being that Luigi was still only a "supporting character" before he joined the first SSB.

Thats why Geno is a supporting character. In almost every piece of fiction if there wasn't a certain character there the hero wouldn't be able to progress. The fact is the game follows Mario, the other characters, no matter how intricate their goals or backstory is, they are all following Mario. Without Mario would Geno have completed the game? I don't think so.

And? Thats where importance to the franchise comes in, so are you saying Geno is as important as Luigi?

Are you serious? Lugi is a supporting character in the "Super Mario BROTHERS" universe?

Astounding.

So... he supported himself that was sent on a quest to stop Smithy and Star Road? Oh wait, no. He supported Mario for saving the day.

What a hoot.

I think Geno would have. =|
Yes, Geno had have his times where he needed some assistance from Mario. Like, the Bowyer battle, he tried to take Bowyer on head on but was outnumbered but Bowyer's arrow men. So, Mario and Mallow help. Than they both agreed to help Mario on Geno's quest to stop Smithy and rebuild Star Road.

But that was because it intertwined with Mario's quest. And Mario became aware of a bigger presence, so it also because Mario's quest to save star road, not just Geno's. And supporting characters don't literally support you know. Not like the sentence you put in my quote made much sense anyway.

Do you know where Geno is from? Someone sent Geno on his quest. Your logic is like saying Robin was sent on a quest to have sexual relations with Marie Jane but since Batman's the main character in the Batman series, it's automatically his quest to and not only Robin's.

Than why do they call them 'supporting characters' if they don't support?

It's funny how overused and old that thing is. I was just gonna post a pic of Yagami Light facepalming when you said:

Than what the f*ck do they do? Support? I thought so.

Supporting characters are like secondary characters. There is that in terms you understand? Jesus Christ.

Well no **** secondary characters are also called supporting characters because they SUPPORT. Other wise, they ain't supporting characters, dillhole. Geno wasn't a supporting character because his role is the role everyone else supports.

Oi yoi yoi. -__-

Good topic! Sensed no bias even though you dislike BJ the most of the 3.
I Think it more has to do with because i like PM's and Geno's games more etc with that, But they all 3 stand stellar chances.(As in good.)

:laugh:.

So the current topic is if geno is the main character of SMRPG? He is in a way i guess, Not for the full game through...Only until you get geno...

Geno isn't the main character in SMRPG. Yeah, without him you wouldn't know what's going on, but you could say the same about the Star Spirits in Paper Mario.

No those spirits are vital to the plot, without them, you couldn't go to star heaven, also without them, you can't take Bowser's invincibility in the last battle.

No need to be so hostile. What he is trying to say is that Geno is a secondary character, therefore making him not so important. He is a main part of the storyline, but so is Cranky Kong in the DK series, but he won't be playable.

This thread should try to get into its past glory, without all the constant flaming by the members themselves and the constant accusations of people trolling, when their not.

Yeah, but you can't argue that they are the ''main characters'' over Mario.

With 15,000 freaking replies about him then it's hard to find something else, I've even seen random quesitons like "What music does geno listen to?" O.O

Well, then you'll end up like the Ridley thread.
I Feel bad, We are kinda looking almost as horrible as those rotten idiots, 15,000 Replies...Wow...And i remember how annoying those people were.

Well let's talk about a topic from a lot of pages back OMG! In both the game that geno was in and the ones that paper mario is in both of there storylines reflect around getting stars, So let's just hypothetically say that they are both in as playable characters, Any SSE Plotline ideas revolving around that?

I was a member of Club RIDLEY. We weren't rotten, we just bombarded anyone who was foolish enough to say that Ridley would not be playable in Brawl in the Ridley thread. :grin:
