History
Super Mario RPG
If the player does not attack the king
In Super Mario RPG, Geno was once a member of the Flaming Rainbow Brigade, but he was mysteriously chosen to be a revolutionary leader by an unknown power, and he led the troops in revolt against Princess Toadstool's corrupting ways. He fought a number of battles against Toadsworth and Toadalman until they were thwarted and eventually wiped out by Mario and his allies. However, during the conflict, he was exposed to the Flame-On Slides, which gave him the ability to perform fiery attacks. Geno was one of the few who escaped with their lives, but he still appeared in the latter half of the game to aid Mario and the team when they continued their fight against Smithy. He became suspicious when he found signs that things were amiss, but his suspicions were further aroused when he learned that Mario and his friends were actually working for Smithy. Upon discovering this, he joined with Toadsworth to kidnap Mario, having a terrible flashback to his captivity.
As Mario fought Geno, his burns healed and he grew furious with Geno and Toadsworth for their role in his torture. His attacks became larger and more powerful as he reestablished his rank as a revolutionary leader, and he rained fiery death on Mario's forces.
Geno was last seen running towards the castle, which he believed to be the entrance to the Star Road, but he stumbled and began to burn. As he burned away, Mario's team approached him, only to see him then destroy them in a fiery fit of rage.
