Biography [ ]

Background [ ]

When Nox Decious was researching the Stone of Righteousness and its powers of preventing death, he wanted to fuse information technology with his body and then it wouldn't exist taken from him.

After having his confront terribly scarred by Merlin in battle, Decious cast the ancient spell El Nox de la Shateu, which translates to "The Darkness in the Shadow." This spell created the Darkness, which Decious said would be a tool to assist in his dominating of the Real World. He sent the Darkness, his new henchman, to find the Stone of Righteousness, connect the stone to itself, and merge itself to his soul.

At first, the Darkness obeyed his command and made Nox near immortal. All the same, later on nearly 1,000 years of being trapped inside Decious, the Darkness began to resent its master, who viewed information technology as nix more a tool.

Flavour Three [ ]

When Nox Decious was killed, the Darkness needed a new body to attach itself to. The Darkness knew that the most powerful person was Mario, then it chose to adhere itself to him in order to gain more power. It possessed Mario in a class of rage, making him assault Wario. And so the Darkness combined the energy that it took from his former boss with the energy it took from Mario and left him. It left Mario weak, but it had enough power to sustain itself and accept physical form. Darkness took on the class of its near powerful host: Mario. However, Merlin was unaware that Mario was the Darkness' near powerful host and causeless it would accept Decious' form.

The Darkness, equally briefly seen in Season 3

The Darkness never had much of a role in Season Three because Wario was the master adversary. The 3rd season only shows how the Darkness was formed and was used for foreshadowing Stupid Mario Brothers: The Pic. However, he did endeavour to convince Waluigi to kill Mario like he did with Wario, but ends up failing equally Waluigi is smarter and more reasonable than his brother. The Darkness and so convinces Wario to kill Mario and recharge the saber.

It obtains Decious' subconscious Blackness Widow Bract from the Orchard, which he had planned to use to deal the killing blow to Mario during their battle. ("Old Friends, New Enemies")

Later on, it is revealed that the Darkness serves Decious every bit his most trusted henchman. ("The End of the Beginning")

The Picture show [ ]

Mr. 50: "Is at that place a betoken to this sad story?"

The Darkness: "Don't get coy with me! I helped you get into this body and so I could impale you myself, and this time y'all won't have your precious Truth Rock to keep your soul intact!"

Mr. L: "How is the hunt going for that? I don't think you're very immortal yourself, my friend."

The Darkness: "Information technology makes no deviation! I shall be the well-nigh powerful being on this planet! Your reign was over before it began!"

— The Darkness argues with the newly created Mr. L.

The Darkness meeting Link in the night forest

The Darkness is trying to help Nox Decious claim a vessel in Luigi then that he may then impale his ain boss. As well, he plans to get immortal and to practice so, he decides to eliminate the Mushroom Force in social club of their strength.

He first confronts Link, who has been lost in the woods for some time. They have a battle, but Link is killed when the Darkness impales him with the Blackness Widow Blade. He tries to merits the Antiquity, but is rapidly angered when he finds out that Link had already sealed it inside his soul.

After once once more losing to Mario, the Darkness confronts Bowser. He tries to strike a deal with the Koopa king, just he denies information technology and heads back to his portal leading to the Mushroom Kingdom. However, the Darkness says to himself that even if Bowser had become his friend, he would have ended up betraying and killing him anyhow. ("Act II Office 1")

Later, he arrives at the Orchard again, saying that in one case he is rid of "him", he will no longer have to hide in his shadow. The Darkness is encountered by Ness, who tells him he was informed of this by the letter Mario sent and tries to kill the Darkness. His PK Thunder attack fails, and then he tries to accuse the evil being with his baseball game bat, which also fails. Ness is defeated, but informs the Darkness that he will come across his demise soon. The Darkness turns out to be somewhat merciful every bit he allows Ness to walk away from the boxing alive. Notably, the Darkness flinches when it is attacked, meaning that Mario is turning it more human (which is explained and shown later on in the series). ("Act Ii Office 2")

While Solid Serpent is out in the field trying to contact Otacon, Liquid Snake appears backside him, informing him that with his new marry (who turns out to exist the Darkness), he volition finally take over the Real Earth. Liquid leaves as the Darkness insults Snake and tries to kill him, but he is stopped by Luigi. They fight for a short time before Luigi is defeated, as well as having his physical form being taken over by Decious' spirit.

Mario shows upwardly after Luigi is supposedly murdered by Decious, lamenting for him. Luigi finally gets up, only for Mario to be informed that Luigi has already been taken over, now going by the name Mr. L. The Darkness stabs Mario from behind with the Blackness Widow Blade, seemingly killing him. The Darkness claims he no longer holds any fidelity toward Decious, informing him that he merely served Decious and assisted him in taking over Luigi just so he could kill him and dominion the earth himself.

Shortly later on, Wario appears and demands to battle the Darkness, who is able to impale the Blackness Widow Blade through Wario, presumably killing him. The Darkness believes he didn't have the Truth Stone subsequently all and wonders where it is. Of a sudden, Darkness stops in his tracks and monologue and finds that the Nether Saber has been thrown through his back past Wario, who faked his death and was actually protected by the Truth Stone. The Darkness laments having been cut off from having more fun before laughing evilly and presumably dying. After, Wario retrieves the Blackness Widow Blade and puts it in his pocket. Then he goes over to the Darkness' corpse and tells him to "rest in Hell" before leaving. ("Act II Function 3")

After on, Merlin reveals that simply a specific counter-curse tin can destroy the Darkness in an absolute sense; Waluigi was supposed to give Wario the means to perform this curse, only he ended upwards forgetting near it. Meanwhile, the Darkness comes back to life, casts off his hat (every bit he says that he no longer needs to associate himself with Mario), and swears revenge on Wario, joyously shouting that he is back. ("Act Two Part five")

The Darkness battling Wario on the battlefield

Whether Merlin knew it or not, the Darkness had known near the counter-expletive, and then he forms a long-term plan backside the backs of the heroes. He studies everything Decious had learned, which included his noesis of beam swords, allowing him to create several beam swords that mimicked and surpassed the Black Widow Bract's ability. When he discarded his hat, the Darkness really transferred almost his entire existence into it, except his body and heed. He recruits a boy named John (whose proper noun he changes to Blaire Vherestorm), upon striking a bargain with the Darkness. The two of them build an energy source designed for subsequently his destruction. ("The Darkness Explains Information technology All")

Subsequently, Wario returns to battle the Darkness one more fourth dimension. After an initial struggle, Wario pins him to the basis, recites the counter curse, and supposedly kills him for good. ("Act Two Part 6") However, information technology is revealed that Wario had only managed to impale a shell and the Darkness was actually dormant in the lid. ("The Darkness Explains It All")

Operation: Blind Storm [ ]

The Darkness' hat is found by Solid Ophidian and Ness. When Ness puts information technology on briefly, the Darkness transfers itself into Ness, possessing him. The Darkness then uses him to pb Snake to the Energy Source. Still being controlled by the Darkness, Ness tells Snake to destroy it while Wario tells him otherwise. Since Ness is psychic, the Darkness always knew they would trust Ness over Wario and Solid Ophidian proceeds to destroy the source. The Darkness speaks to the unabridged grouping, telling them that the Free energy Source was a beacon that connected their powers from the other worlds and that they are now powerless.

The warriors believed that the Darkness would never ascent again, ("Operation: Blind Storm") only it is later revealed that the Beacon'southward devastation just made it more than powerful. ("The Darkness Explains It All")

Flavor Four [ ]

With the destruction of the Beacon, the powers of Mario, Luigi, Wario, and Ness are transferred to the Darkness, thus making him the almost powerful being in beingness. It tries to take concrete course but information technology can't because Mario was the first one information technology took. The Darkness soon realizes that it'due south spirit will merely have concrete form when Mario regains his powers first as the universe demanded at least that much equilibrium between it and the person it's taking the form of.

He orders Blaire to create the Trifecta to force the Mushroom Strength to regain their powers. Still, knowing nearly Ganon's evil programme, he warns Blaire to stop action the moment Mario has gotten his powers in club to have him defeat Ganon, which would allow the Darkness to take over instead. Subsequently, he obtains his physical form, simply doesn't let Blaire know nearly this so that he tin can be sure he follows his orders. ("The Darkness Explains It All")

Blaire betrays him past attacking Mario and the Darkness reveals himself. Allowing Mario to escape, Darkness confronts Blaire. Disgusted at his former apprentice's disobedience, the Darkness kills him with a Black Widow Blade replica and walks off to discover and kill Mario. ("Plumbers and Ninjas and Snakes OH MY!")

The Darkness explains his plan in its entirety to Mario, why he killed Blaire, and warns him of Ganon. He then walks off in order to build his own army in example Mario fails to defeat Ganon. ("The Darkness Explains Information technology All")

Flavour Five [ ]

Zubashi: "You accept continued to fail at destroying Mario!"

The Darkness: "So have you..."

— Zubashi ambushes the Darkness and his army in PIRATES VS NINJAS!

The Darkness watching the battle and smiling evilly

The Darkness meets with the General. He tells him of his changing of hair and complains nigh General non forming his army. However, he is and then shown his army, which he thanks the General for. ("Night Dookie")

The Darkness is warned by the Full general near the upcoming ninja attack. He responds with an attack past his forces and and so summons Ken for the task. Darkness, Ken, and General face up Zubashi and the ninjas. The Darkness and then summons his pirates to battle the ninjas. After the battle, the pirates end up victorious and Ken knocks out Zubashi. He orders the General to shoot the remaining ninjas except for one to exist followed by Ganon'due south base. The Darkness likewise tells Ken to follow the ninja dorsum to Ganon'south base. ("PIRATES VS NINJAS!")

The Darkness, Ken, and the General make it at the base in the midst of Mario'due south battle with the Legion of Villains. He orders the General to kill the ninjas and freezes the Legion members in place when they blitz him, allowing him to face up Ganon solitary. Later on using telekinesis to push button each other back, the Darkness nor Ganon find who is more powerful as the Darkness teleports the Mushroom Force also equally his ain team back to their bases.

At his base, the Darkness is angry virtually Ganon's power. He gets angry with himself by not recruiting Link when he has the gamble just Ken points out that the Darkness did kill Link in one case before. He decides to exercise something he never thought he had to do while Ken tries to ask what he is talking about. Immediately, the agitated Darkness rushes over to close his mouth. ("Shadow Scum VS Ganon....Or Ganondorf...Whatever his name is!")

The Darkness meets up with Luigi and Wario and suggests a team-up between their two armies to take down Ganon's. He then gets mad at them for indirectly breaking the fourth wall, an idea that they don't understand. Finally, he then asks them one more time about the squad upwardly. ("An Unexpected? Proposal")

Eventually, he falls asleep while waiting for their answer. They hold to let him piece of work with them and he gives them total use of his pirates. Afterwards, the Darkness is told by Ken about Zubashi and the ninjas' upcoming invasion. ("The Concern Man and The Ape")

The Darkness tells Ryu and Ken to spend their time as they delight until the invasion comes. However, he regrets it when he forgets to tell them about getting him something to swallow. ("It's Never a proficient fourth dimension to ignore your girlfriend. Ever!")

The Darkness questioning his ain motives

While waiting for the two to return, the Darkness begins questioning his placement in the state of war, now believing himself non to desire to take over the Real World anymore. Instead, he believes that his purpose is to kill his erstwhile dominate Nox Decious. ("Fantasy Sorcerer Bullsh*t!")

With this in mind, the Darkness begins recalling his chat with Mr. 50 and how ambivalent Nox Decious was when he had tried to threaten him. The Darkness is then met by the Full general, who informs him that the ninjas are on their way. The Darkness is glad he will finally exist able to get this over with and the General asks him what his orders are. Darkness pauses and tells Full general to go habitation, granting him an "honorable discharge". Full general is confused at first and is hesitant, just the Darkness reminds him of his wife and children and dismisses him. The Full general leaves for good and the Darkness declares it time for the death of Nox Decious. (""Every bit the Fanboy'southward say, Only Link can defeat Ganon"!")

Nox Decious: "We both lose hither today, just Lord Ganon will exist victorious."

The Darkness: "I think yous're incorrect."

Nox Decious: "Your team cannot stop him."

The Darkness: "Maybe non, but at least I tin can die knowing that I finally killed y'all!"

— The Darkness and Nox Decious, but later on stabbing each other.

Later killing several ninjas, Wario was mortally injured by Decious, and was later on carried to Dr. Naomi Hunter by Mona as the Darkness came and took over the battle.

Nox Decious spent a majority of the battle moving away as the Darkness brutally tried to assault. As the battle progressed, the Darkness became increasingly frustrated when Decious escaped him.

Nox Decious and the Darkness killing each other

Eventually, the two got to the basis and crawled towards each other. Both pulled their beam swords to each other. The Darkness and Decious stabbed each other in the stomach. Decious believed that Ganon would triumph, though Darkness believed he was incorrect. He assured Decious that he could discover satisfaction in the fact that he finally killed his creator. As Decious toppled over, the Darkness fell silent for a few seconds before realizing information technology was the end and dropping to the ground.

Every bit Mario was in Hyrule still getting training from Merlin, he realized that he couldn't remove the Master Sword. The Darkness spoke to Mario and agreed to give his spirit up along with Link and Merlin and then they could combine their souls to give him the ability needed, but giving up was remained of themselves to Mario. This gives him power plenty to wield the Chief Sword and kill Ganon, defeating him for practiced. ("The Super Mario Brothers")

Stupid Mario Globe Mario reveals that The Darkness'south spirit left his head along with Link and Merlin's spirits. Yet Mario and Luigi don't really worry well-nigh it every bit they believe that he is dead for practiced. Wario however shows business concern virtually this every bit he believes bad things could happen. Mario but dismisses it.

The Plumber Knight Returns [ ]

After leaving Mario's caput, the Darkness would end up returning. It turns out that it has never truly been alive. Everyone, "including the Darkness", thought it had become mortal because Mario's soul was growing strong inside it. So when the Darkness "died", it returned to its incorporeal grade while Mario's soul returned to Mario. Now the Darkness is back to its evil roots with none of Mario's soul to brand it soft. Most xxx years after the events of Stupid Mario Brothers, The Darkness would finish upwards taking the disguise of "The Koopa" to try and go Mario out of retirement after he brutal into a deep depression subsequently Bowser killed Peach and then his blood brother Luigi was murdered. Darkness would fake that he was the 1 who killed Luigi which made Mario put on the conform once again. Throughout The Plumber Knight Returns Flavor ane, Mario keeps trying to chase him down, battling Goombas and a giant Goomba named Jeckle. Darkness then ends up kidnapping Denise, who is a friend of Mario'due south, to lure Mario to his location to fight him. Once Mario rescues Denise, he then leaves to observe "The Koopa". Once he meets him in the wood, Darkness tells him that he killed a bunch of innocent people just to get Mario out of retirement so they could have a concluding duel. Mario is disgusted by this. Darkness then brings upward the topic of Beam Swords, claiming that they were Mario's favorite weapon. He and then pulls out the Black Widow Blade and remarks on how Mario doesnt have his anymore until he reveals he notwithstanding has a Axle Sword. They then have a duel. They are both evenly matched until Darkness disarms Mario and attempts to kill him. Mario blocks his swing and fires up a fireball while Darkness charges up a ball of night energy. They both burn at each other sending them both flying backwards. Mario gets up and beats him to the ground demanding for his identity. Darkness then gets up and laughs continuously earlier taking off his mask and revealing his true face with grey hair and a grayness bristles, much to Mario's horror.

The Darkness reveals that it did not kill Luigi and was on playing Mario forth to get him out of retirement. It doesn't reveal its true motives or its reasoning for the creation of the Goombas and its persona of the Koopa. After, the Darkness vanishes off to allow Mario take intendance of the new bug that have emerged.

After, The Darkness and then transforms back to his Koopa disguise to talk to Dr. John Horrus. He tells him to get rid of Comissioner Steve McGuinness.

Subsequently Mario fights the Blue Hood and realizes he is actually his brother Luigi, he travels back to where he encountered the Darkness earlier and Darkness shows up as well. The Darkness reveals to Mario that the Blue Hood is Luigi and that Luigi's true killer was Bowser Jr. in revenge for Mario killing Bowser. He also tells Mario that later he buried Luigi, Bowser Jr. and a group of magikoopas stole Luigi'south body and brainwashed him to give him one goal: to kill Mario. He says that there is probably nonetheless a little bit of the old Luigi left since he killed many of the criminals in Rapid City. He then tells Mario to not bother going to see Bowser Jr. considering he'due south dead, he was the showtime person killed by the Blueish Hood once he was freed from his chains. He reveals that he plans to have the Blue Hood impale Mario because he knows Mario won't be able to to kill Blue Hood because he is his brother. The Darkness so leaves him once again

The Blue Hood confronts Mario. He beats up Denise, knocking her out common cold, fights Mario, and quickly overpowers him, but equally Mario finally breaks the concord on Luigi's heed, the Darkness appears and speedily kills him off, stabbing him in the back with the original Black Widow Blade. After, the son of Luigi confronts the Darkness in the exact aforementioned field he was killed in by Wario many years before. The Darkness goes on to explicate that he was the mastermind behind everything that had happened in the Plumber Knight, and once even tricked Mario and his friends into letting him fight Ganondorf and his legion with them. Thinking that no one volition ever truly terminate him, he boasts near how many have tried to end him, but he always returns. He goes into item about how he will create his new world out of choas, and Luigi (the son of the original Luigi) exposes the Darkness' truthful feelings towards Mario and vows to terminate him permanently. After an evenly matched battle, the Darkness hits Luigi with an energy blast, knocking him down and thinking he'd won. However, much to his dismay, Luigi pulls out the Truth Stone, rises, and throws it at the Darkness while saying the curse "El Nox de la Shateau". As the Darkness is existence trapped in the stone, he lamented at the fact that he just wanted to be alive before finally being sealed away. Mario at some point later buries the Truth Rock deep hush-hush in the woods, so that no one will always find it. Nevertheless, he forgets virtually the Blackness Widow Bract, which is establish and taken past Rosalina and Omega.

Grapheme Overview [ ]

Originally, the Darkness was pure evil as information technology was created past evil magic from Nox Decious. The Darkness grew to have somewhen hated Decious as information technology was forced to live within him for centuries.

When the Darkness took on human form, it began to become overpowered past Mario's spirit, whom information technology has used to take the form of and get stronger. Eventually, the Darkness found that it wasn't truly evil anymore. Information technology eventually died later on not only killing its quondam boss, but saving Wario's life in the process.

Sometime inside the following xxx years, the Darkness was reanimated, but this time it did not have Mario'south spirit to reduce the shadow magic, and then as a effect information technology became even more insane than always earlier, disguising itself as the Koopa and took Jeckel in every bit it's right mitt human and creating a gang called the goombas. It later abandons Jeckel and it's followers and works lone, preferring to stick to the shadows and let others do it'due south muddy work.

Personality [ ]

The Darkness' personality went through multiple changes throughout the series. Not much was explored throughout Season Iii, but he was shown to be a calm and calculating private, only showing anger when Nilrem revealed himself to exist Merlin.

In the film, he was shown to exist more than mentally unstable and sadistic, breaking into fits of insane laughter and describing all the horrible things he did and could have done equally "fun". Too, he was determined to differentiate himself from the real Mario, and oftentimes referred to the latter but as "him" in a derisive way, except when he addressed Mario, where he chosen him past the name. Despite his honey for killing, he showed mercy on Ness by letting him get later defeating him.

Despite his insanity, the Darkness is highly intelligent, finding out virtually Merlin's counter curse to impale him and working out a long term program to rise to power and take over the world. Withal the Darkness has shown to be somewhat of a coward, waiting for Link to tire out then he can kill him, although this was out of careful planning. However, after he cloaked himself and stabbed Mario from behind. He besides said he'll merely exit Ganondorf to Mario instead of fighting him. He has shown to be very egomaniacal, after absorbing our heroes powers, he calls himself the virtually powerful being in existence, despite the fact he's going to get out Ganon to Mario and non do anything relevant himself.

Withal, the Darkness tin can comport a conversation well enough. He has a sense of humor and can be playful at times. This side of him is by and large seen in Season Five as he has dreams of fighting Decious and enjoys reading magazines, ironically enough, the aforementioned sort as Decious.

However, past the end of Season V, he begins to question what his goal is, no longer desiring conquest. According to Rich Alvarez in the May 13th update, the Darkness has go more than humane from absorbing the heroes' powers. This shows when he dismisses the General right before the major boxing, showing genuine concern for the well-being of the General's family if he were to die.

In The Plumber Knight Returns, the Darkness is once once more evil afterwards becoming the offense-lord known equally the Koopa. It has also get obsessed with Mario to the point where it pretended to kill Luigi so that it could battle Mario and built its own criminal empire to further motivate him. The Darkness has also get much more organized, sneaky, cunning, despicable, and patient as information technology was able to dispense events to where it and Mario would accept their final boxing. Information technology was shown to be fell and ruthless, having dealt harsh and painful tortures of both its enemies and its minions. He was as well shown to be more laid back equally instead of killing Mario himself he will have the Blue Hood practice it instead, sadistically challenge it will be more than fun that way. However, this turned out to exist a lie, hoping to daze and pause Mario past killing Luigi in front of him.

Ultimately, Luigi's son (who would now exist known as Luigi Jr.) would and so come to boxing Darkness to avenge his father, and get retribution for all that it's done to Mario. After Darkness reveals his plan of chaos, Luigi Jr. then accuses it'southward true reason behind his goals and torturing of Mario, being out of spite and jealousy. Darkness reacts to this with anger, trying desperately to deny it, implying that Luigi Jr.'s accusation was correct. Forth with Darkness' confession in the end, that it just wanted to exist alive. These reactions to Luigi Jr in defeating him confirms his accusation, that Darkness did want desperately to be Mario. Information technology wanted to be Mario so bad, that he deliberately took his course, or as Luigi Jr. put it, "that it was literally on it's face." Luigi Jr.'s accusation strongly suggests that because Darkness wasn't human, and that he couldn't grasp human being emotion, Darkness twisted them and decided if he couldn't have a life similar Mario'southward, it'd destroy his.

Abilities / Skills [ ]

As his physical body was created from half of the free energy of Mario and a being a portion of magic created past Nox Decious, the Darkness has their combined power at his disposal. He mostly displays Mario'south abilities, such as throwing fireballs and is besides able to teleport and turn invisible like Decious. Because both Mario and Decious are both very skilled with a axle sword, the Darkness demonstrates great skill himself. Similar his master, Darkness was a skilled fighter able to fight on par with Link and win (note link was exausted from all the walking) easily trounce ness, bested Luigi, and overpower Wario and would've killed him if Wario had no Truth Rock. After waking up from his showtime death, he says he was able to perfect what Decious had learned and mastered, assuasive him to create superior replicas of the Black Widow Blade.

The Darkness is besides capable of surviving mortal wounds to some extent: when he fought Wario in "Human activity Two Part 3," he was able to recover from beingness impaled through the back with the Under Saber, though he was in a decease-like land for some fourth dimension. Later, he told Mario that the Counter Curse and killing blow that Wario dealt him with in their second battle would have indeed killed him, had he not stored his essence in his hat.

After the events of Functioning: Blind Storm, he too obtained the combined powers of Wario, Luigi, and Ness. With these combined powers, he killed Blaire with ease, freezed the Legion of Villains, and finally matched Nox Decious in boxing, ultimately killing him and vice-versa.

In Plumber Knight Returns, he has shown to even so possess virtually of his quondam abilities, such equally teleportation, his Axle Sword skills, and ability to create blasts of night energy.

Attire [ ]

In its original course, the Darkness looked like a nighttime version of Mario. It wore black overalls over a black shirt with chains nether a trench coat and black gloves. It wore a hat similar to Mario's and had nighttime rings effectually its eyes. Over this, it wore a black overcoat and wielded the Black Widow Bract until its first duel with Wario.

Eventually, the Darkness took off its overcoat before its battle with Wario, which it never donned once more. Following the battle, information technology discarded its hat, maxim it had "no need of that disgusting thing anymore" equally information technology did non desire to acquaintance itself with Mario, the latter of which it transferred a large percentage of its being. Earlier its "final" battle with Wario, the Darkness seemed to have required a necklace and its hair had orange highlights.

In Flavor Iv, the Darkness' attire is drastically different: Although it nonetheless wears the shirt, overalls, and the chains, it now wears a leather overcoat as opposed to its older one and has smaller circles around its optics. Its pilus is turned crimson, which it claims information technology dyed, just is truly a side effect of Mario's energy equally both the Darkness and "him" grew stronger.

In Flavour Five, the Darkness has dyed its hair closely dorsum to its black color as it was told that "red was not in this yr". It is seen without its necklace until the concluding few episodes. Besides, the Darkness' hair fashion constantly changes: In the movie, it was sort of flat with a curve in the front end. In the last few episodes, its hair is more like a mohawk.

In The Plumber Knight Returns, the Darkness has bleached pilus and a bleached beard, even retaining the dark small-scale circles effectually its eyes. Its advent is the same as Mario probably considering information technology still has a bit of Mario'due south spirit left in it. His attire consists of his leather trenchcoat, a black shirt, a chain necklace and a pair of jeans

Relationships [ ]

Mario [ ]

The Darkness as Wario refers to information technology is Mario's shadow. In the movie, the two were enemies. In Episode 66, Wario welcomes the Darkness as an ally in hopes of defeating Ganondorf. The Darkness does non seem to take a problem with working with Mario. In Episode 75, he even sacrifices his spirit of power to Mario to kill Ganondorf even request Mario to have Ganon'due south head, showing that he still has his own agenda even in death.

Later on it gave Mario's spirit back to him, it eventually regenerated and became evil again due to Mario's soul making him more humane. Afterwards twenty years of Mario's retirement, The Darkness took the alias of the Koopa and formed a revolution of goomba's, afterward the goomba's have stated to terrorize Ferral Urban center, The Darkness has made constant threats to the metropolis and claimed to take killed Luigi to get Mario out of retirement. In one case it and Mario finally fought, the Darkness revealed himself to him, and revealed he didn't actually kill Luigi and that everything was to go Mario out of retirement, then left. Eventually afterwards Mario fought the blueish hood, The Darkness had confirmed to Mario that the blueish hood is Luigi, and that the one who killed him was Bowser Jr. Bowser Jr killed Luigi out of revenge for Mario ripping his male parent Bowser's head off, so made him the blueish hood to kill Mario. Darkness reveals he would now let blue hood kill him.

Nox Decious [ ]

The Darkness was originally created by his original dominate Nox Decious, only information technology fed off of his heart for generations.

When the Darkness finally dissever from Decious, he pretended to recognize Decious as his master. Nevertheless, later he killed Mario and Decious took over Luigi's body, he officially split up from Decious, stating that he never cared about Decious and just wanted to give him a new torso just for the purpose of killing Decious himself, which he eventually did in episode 75 after Nox was resurrected by Ganon. He has then grown to hate Decious more and more.

In Episode 73, the Darkness states that his only purpose is to impale Nox Decious.

In Episode 75, the Darkness and Nox Decious practise battle, which results in the two killing each other. Nonetheless, the Darkness doesn't listen his death, as he killed Nox Decious. The only reason he had for doing and so was to finally rid himself of his past.

Trivia [ ]

Rich Alvarez did non look the Darkness to be so popular with the fans. "I'thousand actually really surprised at how much people liked the Darkness. The entire time I was playing the character I was always worried that I was doing it wrong and / or bad... I thought he would come off too stupid."
He is never referred to every bit "Shadow Mario" onscreen; the other characters only refer to it as "the Darkness." Still, both Alvarez and Chris Muller have referred to him equally "Shadow Mario," most notably in "Unpersuasive Persuasion."
The Darkness is actually not human being nor is he alive actually since he is only a substance that took on Mario'southward course. Notwithstanding, in "Act II Office vi," Wario says the counter curse "Obscurem Absentis Humanis," which is Latin for "Darkness be gone and become man." However, the Darkness revealed that he was actually mortal the entire fourth dimension and was able to survive Wario'southward killing blows considering he stored its being in his hat.
The Darkness may never be truly killed equally he was defeated 2 times by Wario, then he and Decious killed each other and he came back every single fourth dimension. Besides Richie said that he tin can't help but proceed bringing him dorsum, every bit he loves portraying him then much.
Kevin Chamberlain, the role player portraying Yoshi, compared Darkness to The Joker from the Batman franchise.
