12 Mario Spinoff Series For Each Zodiac Sign
Do you want to know which Mario game fits your zodiac sign better? Stop looking!
The Super Mario series is huge and vast, with some of the most famous 2D and 3D platformers and some of the most famous video game characters. The look and feel of the games have led to a lot of spinoffs where we can play as the mustachioed hero in situations other than beating up Koopas.
This list doesn’t include spinoffs like Luigi’s Mansion or Yoshi. Instead, it looks at twelve Mario spinoffs and pairs each one with a zodiac sign. Which version of the capped warrior are you, from fiery Aries to watery Pisces?
Aries – Mario Tennis
The first sign of the zodiac, Aries, is full of passion, drive, and honesty. This fire sign likes to be sure of themselves and have fun. Both happily and negatively, they see life as explosive.
This goes well with the Mario Tennis games, which are easy to play but have a lot of energy and bright colors.
In the Mario Tennis games, you play as different Mario characters on the court and use different swings to beat your opponent. We can see the fiery Aries jump into the air to serve a fireball over the net.
Taurus – Mario Soccer/Mario Strikers
The next sign on the zodiac is Taurus, which is an earth sign. Taurus is stable, good at making money, stubborn, and loyal. Taurus isn’t afraid to put in hard work and isn’t put off by thinking about the long term when trying to reach their goals. This is a trait that goes well with the Mario Soccer series.
When Mario and his friends play soccer, they work together as a team, plan for the long term, and try to score goals. This game needs the steady hand and stubborn spirit of the Taurus to avoid things on the field and land or deflect Hyper Strikes.
Gemini – Mario Party
Gemini is the first air sign in the zodiac, and they are known for being smart and friendly. Gemini is always doing different things and hanging out with different groups of friends. They are happy when they are moving quickly from one thing to the next and talking to interesting people.
This fits right in with the well-known Mario Party games.
Mario Party is funny, different, and social by nature. These games are perfect for a Gemini because they have quick activities like moving around different boards, getting stars, or winning minigames. They also have enough content and drama to keep a Gemini’s attention.
Even after a bad game of Mario Party, nothing can make or break a friendship.
Cancer – Mario Maker
The next sign in the zodiac is Cancer. It is the first water sign. Cancers are known for being sensitive, emotionally deep, and focused on home life. They also try to avoid conflict by withdrawing into passivity or their own world.
They want to make their homes as cozy as possible and are often great hosts. This makes sense for Mario Maker.
The Mario Maker games are single-player games where players make their own Mario levels using tools that are usually found in platformers. Any Cancer would jump at the chance to make their own level, filled with meaning and as much (or as little) strife as they want.
Leo – Mario Kart
Ah, here comes the leader of the Zodiac. This fire sign is loud, dramatic, and fierce, and they lead with their heart in everything they do.
They love being in the spotlight and enjoying the rewards of life, health, and success. What other game besides Mario Kart could fill their need for glory?
Mario Kart is one of the most well-known spinoffs of the Mario games. Its gameplay is often like a Shakespearean story, with epic highs and lows. It’s easy to imagine Leo pushing past other animals to get to the front of the pack, their hair blowing in the wind as they throw bananas behind them.
Virgo – Dr. Mario
The next sign is Virgo, who is smart, hardworking, and pays attention to details. These earth signs tend to be perfectionists who care a lot about how information is processed and put together.
They are also usually kind and gentle people who want to help others in real ways, not just in lofty or theoretical ways. A puzzle game sounds like the right thing for these people who are good at solving problems.
In the Dr. Mario series, our favorite Koopa-stomper puts on a white coat and plays a Tetris-like game in which he throws pills and destroys viruses. These puzzle games are right up Virgo’s alley because they pay close attention to detail and are played in a measured way.
Libra – Mario Golf
The second weather sign Libra is the only sign in the zodiac that is not a living thing. Libras are so focused on harmony and balance that they sometimes can’t decide what to do. They love making other people happy and following their interests until they are the best at them.
Their qualities seem to match those of the well-known Mario Golf games.
Unlike soccer or tennis games, which move quickly, Penalty Kick Online is all about slow, controlled movement and getting better over time. A game with more than one way to get to the putting green will also help you practice making decisions.
Scorpio – Mario & Rabbids
The well-known Scorpio is the next sign on the list. This water sign is often misread because of how sneaky and mysterious it is.
Scorpio is smart and always does the unexpected, which makes them seem mysterious and charming. The Mario & Rabbids series goes well with this.
Mario & Rabbids is an odd Mario spinoff series that not many people saw coming. It follows the heroes of the Mushroom Kingdom as they team up with their Rabbid peers to fight in a turn-based strategy. Scorpio, who is smart but also hard to understand, is clearly a similar spirit.
Sagittarius – Mario RPG – Zodiac Sign
Next is the last fire sign in the zodiac. Sagittarius is always looking for truth and protecting their freedom, which makes them a good fit with philosophy and travel.
This sign is witty and funny, and it likes change and motion, just like the Mario RPG games.
In this spinoff, Mario and his friends try to beat the evil Smithy using Super Mario’s characters and RPG features like turn-based combat and a map that can be moved around freely. Sagittarius will love how easy it is to move around in the game and how funny it is.
Capricorn – Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games
Capricorn is the wild goat that lives in the zodiac. The last earth sign of the zodiac is bold and works hard to reach their goals. They will do anything to get what they want.
From the outside, they might seem a bit serious and closed off, but this sign is fun-loving and full of life. It seems like the right thing to do to send them to the Olympics.
In Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games, our hero meets Sega’s famous Blue Blur and competes for the gold in both serious Olympic sports and crazy “Dream Sports.” This series is a great fit for Capricorn because it has two different points of view and a need for ambition.
Aquarius – Mario & Luigi
Even though people think they are a water sign, Aquarius is actually the last air sign in the evolution of the zodiac. This sign is mysterious and strange, and they care a lot about their ties with other people. They also value working together for the greater good.
They tend to think in new ways and are wary of old ways. They would go with the Mario & Luigi titles, of course.
This series is known for its silly humor and unusual stories, like going through dreams, time, or even Bowser’s body. Each game in the series focuses on how close the Mario Bros are to each other. It’s easy to see Aquarius liking it when brothers work together to solve a bigger problem.
Pisces – Paper Mario
At the end of the zodiac, Pisces is the last sea sign on the list. They are very thoughtful, sensitive, and creative. This sign is thought to be the most psychic of the zodiac, able to create complex fantasies and get lost in vivid inner worlds. This makes it a great fit for the action-adventure series Paper Mario.
Paper Mario, which is known for its detailed stories and well-developed characters, often has more depth than the main games. The thoughtful Pisces would love to read these stories with more depth and explore the vivid dream worlds that can only be found in this spinoff series.
