Mario, Imajin in Doki Doki Panic, is the most well-rounded of the bunch, possessing above-average Strength, Jumping and Speed ratings.  He loses a little of his jumping ability when he carries an item. He is a good choice for beginners, although some may prefer the Princess, instead.

You'll really get a jump on the action when you play with Luigi (or Mama in Doki Doki Panic).  Mario's tall, slim brother has springs for legs and a few tricks of his own.

Luigi can jump higher and farther than any other character, but watch out because he can make you jumpy too. Sometimes he gets out of control and jumps too high or too far! Some items are reachable only with Luigi. However, his jump greatly weakens if he has to carry an item. His running ability is mediocre.

Toad (Papa in Doki Doki Panic), the Princess' retainer, has the highest strength and running speed, but the worst jumping ability. With the highest strength, he can pick up and throw enemies to protect himself from nearby danger. As the fastest character, he is the best at evading [[../Enemies#Phanto|Phanto]]. Unfortunately, he jumps like a broken pogo stick and will have difficulty reaching secrets and platforms up high, heavily relying on the charged jump.

For the first time, Princess Toadstool (Peach in the GBA version and Lina in Doki Doki Panic) is playing more than a waiting game.  The fair Princess Toadstool has come back strong as a major partner in this adventure.
