So, Nintendo has put up some character bios on their japanese website (https://www.nintendo.co.jp/kids/character/index.html) that aren't on english atm.
Some folks at another forum got this translated, at least for the Mario characters, haven't read through all of it but figured some people might be interested.
Take note that the translations aren't perfect, and might be better to check japanese terms in the Mario series, like Boo's japanese name "Teresa"
As a highlight, apparently Yoshi isn't neither turtle nor dinosaur... And Waluigi isn't Wario's brother, or doesn't "seem to be"
Some folks at another forum got this translated, at least for the Mario characters, haven't read through all of it but figured some people might be interested.
Mario: Bright, cheerful, and everyone’s favourite person!
His twin brother, Luigi, is his closest friend, and together the two are a great pair.
An all-rounder in sports from tennis, baseball, soccer, to car-racing, he's stylishly good at anything!
In fact, long ago, Mario was also occasionally working as a plumber.
He loves Princess Peach, and if she's ever captured, he'll always go and save her.
But, Bowser always comes to impede him however.
If Mario has lots of power-ups and his amazing jump, he'll remain calm no matter what Bowser’s ill-intentions are!
Luigi: Mario's twin brother!
He's a bit of a coward, but has a kind personality.
His weakness is none other than ghosts. But in reality, almost like his brother Mario, he possesses considerably true power.
Like Mario, it appears Luigi was also working as a plumber.
When the two of them, Mario and Luigi, are present, they have tremendous strength!
Luigi's trademarks are his green hat and green shirt.
In comparison to Mario, Luigi's only a little bit taller. But if you take a closer look, the shape of Luigi's mustache is also a little different however...did you already know that?
Peach: The princess of the Mushroom Kingdom!
There are often times where she is kidnapped by Bowser, who comes to attack the Mushroom Kingdom.
She's incredibly kindhearted, and is always hoping that everyone can live in happiness.
She loves making cakes and cooking, but is also surprisingly good at sports!
She's on very good terms with Mario, and is always relying on him.
Her pink dress is very lovely.
She's also paying attention to fashion, and appears to also own a summer dress and sports wear!
Bowser: He disturbs the peace of the world, and is the [great demon] king of the Koopa Troop!
Mario and friends' eternal rival.
Accompanied by lots of underlings such as Koopas, Goombas, Bullet Bills, and Shy Guys, he attacks the Mushroom Kingdom!
Even though he decides to do evil things such as capturing Princess Peach, he's always failing, being held back by Mario and friends...
In regards to his son, Bowser Jr., Bowser spoils him a bit too much.
But, to Bowser Jr., Bowser is his strong and proud father.
He has superhuman strength, and his fire-breathing packs a real punch!
Wario: Mario’s childhood friend, and his biggest rival! (or that’s what he says). He’s energetic, and is the kind of person that doesn’t really worry about the little things. Even though he should be a good person at heart, he’s got a weakness for money, so he’ll try his absolute hardest to make money from anything!
He travels the world, searching for treasure as an adventurer, and he’s also the president of the company WarioWare Inc.!
By the way, his favourite food is Garlic! It seems he’s eagerly eating it every day. As a result, his stamina is outstanding!
Waluigi: Wario’s partner. An eccentric character who thinks Luigi is his rival. He has a smug, sly and rebellious personality. In order to build up strength to battle with Mario and Luigi, it seems he has (up until now) been working hard at a secluded location. Is he actually a nice, hardworking person!
Because his limbs are long, he can do very well in sports where he can use this to his advantage. However, because his posture is always bad, he doesn’t seem to look very strong…
By the way, even though Wario is often with [Waluigi], the two don't seem to be brothers!
Toad: He works by Peach's side, and lives in the Mushroom Kingdom.
There are a lot of similar characters like him, and Toads that have different colours such as blue and green! Everyone's very brave, and they can do any job!
They try their hardest to save Princess Peach from Bowser, who targets the Mushroom Kingdom, but it seems they fail every time...
At times, they help out Mario, and they occasionally travel together on an adventure!
There's also another similar Toad known as Captain Toad! He's got the shape of someone that looks like they like adventure very much!
Donkey Kong: The king of the jungle, and the Kong family's superstar!
He possesses a large body and extraordinary strength! He can also easily hurl massive barrels, and can smash the ground, causing huge tremors as a result!
But, he's usually easy-going, though maybe a bit absentminded.
By working together with his partner Diddy Kong, his grandpa Cranky Kong, and other similar friends, they punish anyone who disturbs the peace of the jungle.
Bananas are DK's greatest, most favourite food ever! He keeps lots of Bananas in his house all the time. If you try to take them, watch out, because he'll get awfully angry!
Daisy: The princess of the country known as Sarasaland. She's super cheerful and energetic!
She might also have a bit of a tomboy streak.
Although she was once captured by a villain known as Tatanga, she was rescued by Mario then as well.
Her trademark characteristics are the flowers attached to her crown and earrings!
Even though she's a princess, she's really active! Whenever she's playing mixed sports with Mario and friends, she tries her absolute hardest not to lose!
Rosalina: A mysterious woman that travels the cosmos with the star children, Lumas.
She travels by riding the starship known as the Comet Observatory.
She acts as a mother for the various multicoloured Lumas as well.
Although she looks kind of stern, she's very kindhearted to the Lumas.
She possesses a mysterious power, and is always floating around.
When she rides a bike, she sports a stylish rider suit!
Boo: A ghost that loves mischief, and often appears from dark areas.
Even though it slowly tries to fly down and approach you from behind, it seems if you turn and face it directly, it becomes embarrassed and completely unable to move.
Maybe its name Teresa comes from the word Tereya-san (shy person)?
There are various Boos, among them there's even a large Boo that wears a crown!
Yoshi: Coming from Yoshi's Island, it's Mario's trusted companion!
Yoshi has a carefree and easygoing personality. Even though there's a shell on his back, Yoshi isn't a turtle, or a dinosaur, and in actual fact we don't know what Yoshi is!
Yoshi love eating things! With his long tongue, he can swallow fruits and enemies completely whole. However, anything Yoshi swallows can only be laid as an egg! But, as you'd expect, it seems he can't eat Thwomps or Bowser...
Aside from Green Yoshi, there's Yoshis of various colours, such as Red, Light Blue, and Pink!
Diddy Kong: A mischievous young male Kong with his trademark features of a red cap and red shirt!
He's Donkey Kong's trusted companion and close friend! They're always adventuring together, and Diddy's a reliable friend who helps assist Donkey Kong. It seems he also has a girlfriend named Dixie Kong.
Although he's small, he's nimble and his jumping strength is an excellent quality. He can also hang from things with his long tail.
In comparison to Donkey Kong, Diddy has quite the firm character. He can skillfully wield all kinds of items!
Bowser Jr.: King Bowser's son. A naughty brat who loves mischief. He resembles Bowser when he was younger.
Although his body is still small, he's hiding the Bowser power he's inherited! In actual fact, Bowser Jr. may also be considerably smart! By riding a vehicle known as the 'Junior Clown Car', he's been a nuisance to Mario. If Bowser Jr. doesn't get what he wants, he won't settle down, it's one of the selfish traits he has.
The scarf with a picture of a large mouth drawn on it is his favourite. It's just a picture of his aspiring dad's mouth
