Mario games never were about deep character development.
I think the most it ever got there was that Nintendo Power comic, Super Mario Adventures, from 1993-ish. That one was awesome--and it was rumored this movie would be an adaptation of that, but they didn't go that route.

Luigi's Mansion 1-3 gave him a solid amount of personality, much more so than probably every other main character.

You should try it, it’s great. Mario’s best rpg imo.
