The original Geno thread: https://smashboards.com/threads/geno-%E2%99%A5%E2%99%AA-return-of-the-starsend-savior.446378/
---
Geno is one of the five playable characters from the 1996 Square-Enix game Super Mario RPG, and one of the two that was made up for that game along with Mallow. (whose support thread can be found here: https://smashboards.com/threads/mallow-frog-prince-from-the-beyond-the-clouds.456009/ ) While the game didn’t release in Europe (like most RPGs on the SNES) until the Wii Virtual Console, it served as an easily accessible RPG that, for many, was their first experience with the genre. It established concepts like timed hits that would become mainstays of Mario RPGs like the Paper Mario series or Mario & Luigi series, effectively serving as a blueprint for how a platform series like Mario could make the jump into turn-based combat.
Geno is a doll who is possessed by a star. The star’s name is unpronounceable by human tongues, so for simplicity’s sake, he chooses to be referred to by the doll’s name. Despite being a doll, Geno was heavily armed even before his possession, having a gun for an arm and the ability to shoot his fist out like a rocket. He’s the one who informs the team about the importance of finding the Seven Stars (which, up to this point, they had stumbled across while trying to solve other problems) and properly kicking off the game’s plot.
I’d summarize why people want Geno, but papagenos already did so in this video:
With over 400 supporters from previous threads, it’s going to take a while to list everyone. For simplicity’s sake, I’ll stick to the most recent list of supporters rather than including legacy supporters from previous threads – if you want to view those, there’s a link to the previous Geno thread where they’re listed. If you’re not on the list, feel free to contact me through private messages, mentioning me here, or posting about it on my profile. If you feel like you’ve been mistakenly included here, you can get in touch with me through private messages, profile posts, or mentioning me here to let me know – there are a lot of people who were listed, and I’m not sure how up-to-date that list was.
I’ll put the supporters list under a spoiler tag to avoid stretching out the page to ridiculous extremes. Geno’s fanbase has been dedicated (some have supported him since the Melee days), and as a result, there are a lot of people to list.

FAQs (will be updated over time)
Q: What can Geno do?
A: There are plenty of movesets that have been typed up for the character, but to keep this post from getting longer than it already is, I’ll post some videos that show off potential movesets for Geno.
Q: I’ve never played Super Mario RPG before – where can I play it?
A: Aside from the Super NES, the game has been re-released on the Wii U and the Super NES Classic Edition, along with the now-defunct Wii Shop Channel. As of now, it has not been added to the Switch’s Super NES Online App, though this will be updated if/when it is announced.
Q: Nintendo/Sakurai added a Piranha Plant as DLC – doesn’t that mean that Nintendo doesn’t want to add Geno?
A: Geno, unlike most Mario characters, is in an unusual situation. Going by the copyright information that we have, the character (along with all of the characters that originated in Super Mario RPG) is owned by Square-Enix. As a result, Nintendo and Sakurai don’t have much of a say in his inclusion – it’s ultimately up to Square-Enix. This isn’t the case with characters from most Nintendo series – it’s not like Koei-Tecmo owns Cia from Hyrule Warriors or Namco-Bandai owns the Aparoids from Star Fox Assault just because those characters first appeared in games developed by those companies.
For what it’s worth, Sakurai has commented on Geno at some point between Smash 4’s DLC finishing and Ultimate’s announcement, saying that he has wanted to include Geno since Brawl - it’s just that adding the character isn’t within his (or Nintendo's) control.
Q: Why is there a Geno support thread if Geno's already a Mii costume?
A: Just because a character is a Mii costume, it doesn’t mean that we aren’t allowed to have discussion threads for them – threads for characters such as Rex, Sans, or Heihachi remained open after those characters became Mii costumes.
Q: Isn’t Geno a one-off character?
A: Yes (aside from his cameo in Mario & Luigi), but that hasn’t stopped the Smash developers from adding characters with only one major appearance (or no major appearances, in the case of Roy, whose game wasn’t even released when he was added to Melee), and people still speculate about many characters with only one major appearance.
---
To emphasize some of the rules that should be kept in mind:
1. No flaming. This also includes people who come into the thread who have doubts/questions regarding Geno’s inclusion. There’s a difference between “Geno isn’t happening lol no promotion you guys suck” and “I don’t think Geno is coming, as Mii Fighters haven’t been promoted.” The first line indicates there’s no debate to be had while the second keeps it open to discussion. In the past, we didn’t allow people to come in the thread to disagree and debate with the thread members. This has changed. Flaming people with legitimate questions will result in warnings.
2. No trolling. This also includes trolling other support threads, discussion threads, and trolling users who are “anti-Geno”.
3. Please keep discussion on track. With Geno’s Mii Fighter outfit confirmed, discussion is limited but please do try to keep it on topic with Geno/SMRPG/Smash/Nintendo discussion. We will be a bit more lenient in this regard than before. That being said, coming in and saying “Hey what’s up everyone” is spam & will be treated as such.
4. Please use the report button instead of replying to questionable posts. The moderation staff tries to get to reports quickly, but can’t be instant every time; give them time to deal with reports.
5. We do our best to keep track of “Anti-Geno trolls” including tracking their actions on other websites. We would appreciate any info one may have regarding a questionable user who made an account purely to troll the thread.
6. No doxxing/threatening to dox/support of doxxing.
7. We have nothing against users theory-crafting and the rules don’t state users can’t talk about the possibility of Geno getting promoted. That being said, please be aware that some users may not agree with that theory. Disagreeing with that theory isn’t grounds for reports/warnings.
