A major element of Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars involved taking established characters from the Mario series and putting them in an all-new setting. While Mario, Bowser, and Toadstool were the game's most recognizable characters, one thing that Super Mario RPG is remembered for is its original creations. One of those original creations managed to stand heads and tails above the rest to the point that they're still revered to this day. That character is Geno. Who is Geno? He is a spirit descended from the cosmos who chooses to bring life to a wooden doll. His actual name is ♥♪!?, but he took on the doll's name to make pronunciation simpler for lowlier beings. In crashing through the skies, Smithy shattered the Star Road into seven star-shaped pieces, scattering them throughout the world. Geno has come to the terrestrial world to recover them and help rebuild the Star Road because its main function is to process and fulfill wishes. Geno's function, essentially, is to save a world that's now without wishes.
