Mushroom Kingdom species, explained
To create your own Super Mario character, start with the species. It sets the body, the outfit and the jobs the games usually give it. Here is what each one looks like in canon and how to make it yours.

Human
Mario, Luigi and Peach are human, but Toads are the main people of the Mushroom Kingdom. Super Mario Odyssey added New Donk City, a whole city of humans called New Donkers. A human OC gets the full outfit: cap, gloves, overalls or a dress, and boots.
cap and glovesNew Donk Cityfull outfit
Toad
The main people of the Mushroom Kingdom, with a capital called Toad Town. Super Mario Odyssey producer Yoshiaki Koizumi has said the spotted cap is part of a Toad's head, not a hat. Toads run shops, guard castles and explore, so almost any job fits.

Koopa
Koopa Troopas are upright turtles with removable shells in many colors, green and red being the most common. Most are foot soldiers for the villain, but Super Mario 64 showed that not every Koopa is, so a Koopa OC can be a minion or a friend. Add wings and it becomes a Paratroopa.

Yoshi
A species of friendly dinosaurs that first appeared in Super Mario World. Yoshis come in many colors, grab food with long tongues and lay eggs. Designer Takashi Tezuka has said Yoshi began as a kind of Koopa and the saddle was its shell. Write the body color in Extra details.

Boo
Round white ghosts first seen in Super Mario Bros. 3. A Boo covers its face when you look at it and creeps closer when you turn away, a shy-then-bold mix Shigeru Miyamoto based on a coworker's wife. Boo OCs live in ghost houses and work best cute, not scary.

Shy Guy
Small masked figures in robes, first seen in Doki Doki Panic, the game that became Super Mario Bros. 2 outside Japan. The white mask has three holes and red robes are the most common. Canon variants add gear like spears or propellers, so give yours a robe color and one prop of its own.

Goomba
Brown mushroom-shaped walkers with two feet and no arms, usually the first enemy in a game. Most Goombas turned on the Mushroom Kingdom to join the villain, but friendly ones live in places like Goomba Village in Paper Mario. With no hands, a Goomba OC shows off with hats, capes and headbutts.

Names and moves
Name your OC, pick a signature move
Mario names love a pun. Goombario is Goomba plus Mario, Parakarry is a Paratroopa who carries the mail, and Admiral Bobbery and Professor Frankly pair a title with a joke word. Mix a title and a pun word, then pick a signature move. None of the pairings is a canon name, and every click goes straight onto your OC in the generator.

Guide
How to make your own Mario character
Fans create Mario characters for comics, roleplay and fan games, and the ones that stick look like they could show up in a real game. Make these five decisions first and the Mario OC creator handles the drawing.
- 1
Start with the species
The species sets the silhouette before any color does. A Toad is mostly cap, a Koopa carries a shell, a Goomba has no arms at all and a Boo is one round shape with tiny hands. Pick the species tile first and design around what that body can do.
- 2
Use two big colors and a simple icon
Mario and Luigi read from across a level because they use two color blocks: a cap and shirt in one color, overalls in another. Do the same with Cap color and Outfit or shell color, and put a simple icon like a star, a leaf or a bolt on the cap instead of a letter.
- 3
Give them a power-up and a signature move
Power-ups change the outfit: a Super Leaf adds raccoon ears and a tail, a Super Bell gives a cat suit, a Cape Feather adds a cape. Pick one in the Power-up field, then write one move that is only theirs, like a shell spin or an extra-long flutter jump.
- 4
Pick a job in the Mushroom Kingdom
The Mario world runs on small jobs: shopkeepers, racers, guards, explorers and minions who just follow orders. A hero on a rescue, a rival with a grudge or a minion who wants out gives your OC a story from the first panel.
- 5
Name them with a pun
Canon names mix a species or a job with a joke: Goombario, Parakarry, Admiral Bobbery. Build yours the same way with the name mixer, then search the Super Mario Wiki to check that no canon character already uses it.

FAQ
Mario OC maker FAQ
Yes. Signing up gives you bonus credits for one free image, subject to availability; the free preview carries an occreator.org watermark. A purchase unlocks your remaining bonus credits. No card is needed to sign up.
A picrew or a dress-up Mario character maker stacks parts one artist drew, so every result shares the same pose and pieces. This Mario OC creator draws a new picture from your species, colors and power-up, so the character comes out as your own. Think of it as a Mario character generator that does the drawing for you. It is not Super Mario Maker, which builds levels, not characters.
Yes. Fans write OC Mario, Mario OC, Mario OCs or Super Mario OCs, and they all mean an original character set in the Mario games. A Super Mario OC can be a new hero, a Toad shopkeeper or a Koopa who switched sides, as long as it is not a canon character.
Pick one of the seven in the Species picker: human, Toad, Koopa, Yoshi, Boo, Shy Guy or Goomba. For another species from the games, like a Bob-omb, a Hammer Bro or a Pianta, leave Species empty and describe it in Extra details.
Yes. Pick Koopa in Species, set the shell with Outfit or shell color, and add wings in Extra details for a Paratroopa. A Koopa OC can be a foot soldier for the villain or a friendly Koopa, like the Koopa racers in Mario Kart. Skip spiked shells and magic wands, which read as the seven Koopalings.
Yes. Press Surprise me at the top of the generator to load one of the six ideas on this page at random, then roll the name mixer for a pun name and pick a signature move. Press Generate and your random Mario character comes out as finished art.
Partly. Paper Mario, which started on the Nintendo 64 in 2000, draws flat 2D paper characters in 3D worlds, and there is no paper style button here. For something close, pick Chibi or Sketch and add "flat paper cutout with a thin white border" to Extra details. Partners like Goombario and Kooper are canon, so give your partner OC a new name and look.
Give your OC one power-up, one signature move and one real weakness, like a Goomba with no hands or a Boo who freezes when watched. The classic trap is a secret royal sibling of Peach or Mario who has every power-up at once. Let them lose a race now and then.
Anywhere in the games' worlds: Toad Town, a Ghost House, Yoshi's Island, New Donk City or a castle full of lava. The Background field has five iconic level types, and you can name any other place in Extra details.
Yes. Set Output to Ref sheet for front, side and back views with palette swatches. Keep the Plain background so the cap, shell and gloves read clearly, and the sheet is ready for a comic, a fan game or a roleplay profile.
Keep 3D, the default on this page, for the glossy, rounded look of modern Mario games like Super Mario Odyssey and Super Mario Bros. Wonder. Pick Anime or Chibi for a flat 2D cartoon, Sketch for pencil art, or Semi-real for a painted take.
Posting your OC in fandom spaces, as a profile picture or in roleplay is what it is made for. Super Mario and its characters belong to Nintendo, so check Nintendo's rules before selling merchandise.
