Geno's Contest History

Who is Geno?
In Super Mario RPG, a giant sword falls out of the sky and into Bowser's Keep. The sword slices right through Star Road, and until the road gets repaired then no more wishes can be granted to the Mushroom Kingdom. Geno, who is from the Star Road, decides to go down to the Mushroom Kingdom and help do something about this.

When Mario and Mallow come across Rose Town, they meet a little kid in an inn who is playing with some dolls. That night, Geno comes to the Mushroom Kingdom and takes the form of one of the dolls before walking off into a nearby forest. Mario and Mallow chase after the Geno doll into the forest, and eventually catch up with him and help take back the star piece there.

Geno informs the party of the Star Road's plight, and agrees to help them find the remaining star piece so that wishes may be granted in the Mushroom Kingdom again. Geno has a fairly simple background, but SMRPG doesn't exactly lead itself to having a complicated storyline or complicated characters.

The best thing about Geno is easily his in-battle abilities. The guy's skillset is absolutely insane, not to mention full of attacks that are damn pretty-looking when used. Geno Blast is especially awesome, though every ability in the skillset makes him a must-have in your party. For whatever reason, Geno is the big fan favorite from SMRPG.

''Gaz: Mom! I just saw Geno walking in the forest! Gaz's Mother: Uh-huh. And isn't Geno the one who broke my lamp the other day?''

Geno's Contest History
Win-Loss Record: 0-2

Summer 2005 Contest - Devil Division - 7 Seed
 * Devil Round 1 --- Lost to (2) Squall, 25022 [25.16%] - 74412 [74.84%]
 * Extrapolated Strength --- 55th Place [16.22%]

Geno finally broke through and made the contest field in Summer 2005, though he was greeted with a 7 seed and Squall of fellow Squaresoft fame in the first round. It was a guarantee that Geno would suffer an SFF beating, and it's odd that people considered Geno's avoiding a tripling to be a moral victory for him. It was a pretty bad way for Geno to make his first (and likely only) contest appearance given what a huge fan favorite he is, but those are the breaks sometimes. SMRPG is getting up there in age, and Geno hasn't had a noteworthy appearance in a game since.

Summer 2007 Contest - Division 8 - First Group
 * Division 8 Round 1 --- 4th place, 21141 [16.14%] - Squall Leonhart, 46278 [35.33%] - Aeris Gainsborough, 33367 [25.48%] - Akuma, 30185 [23.05%]

Most people expected Geno to get last place, so he didn't disappoint anyone there. He did perform rather well to open up the poll, but that didn't last long. I'm not entirely sure why he was set up against Squall again, and he was stuck in a spot he couldn't win. In a contest that had its fair share of fodder fourpacks, Geno could've advanced if given a better draw.
