This character is popular with gamers as he regularly defeats Mario, making him one of the more powerful villains in the franchise. Super Mario Bros. 3 experimented with Mario's looks with different power-ups that represented different creatures. An example included the raccoon tail, which was chosen over a power-up that represented a centaur.
