He's a good little guy with a funny hat,

Or maybe that's his head, it's hard to imagine that.

He's helpful to a famous plumber going from castle to castle,

Giving him important information to get through the hassle.

He's a follower of a princess who is a real fine peach,

He follows her every where from the castle to the beach.

Except when the Koopa King takes her, then he has to stay.

Mostly he leaves adventures to others, not able to play.

Recently, however, he's started joining in on the fun.

Step back Mario! It's his turn to be in the sun!

He's always been helpful to us in the past.

Who is this short hero that sure is fast?
