Characters
Midas Machine lets you play with four different characters. On this page you can find out more about their strengths and weaknesses and their special ability.
Mario

Everybody's favorite (or second favorite) plumber is as usual the average joe out of the characters. Balanced and easy to play for everyone. His signature ability, the wall-jump, will help you to scale large heights as long as you got walls.
He and his brother his goal is to stop Syrup and Bowser from turning the Mushroom Kingdom into gold.

Luigi

Wario

What is this? Wario trying to save the world? Don't worry! All he heard is "gold" and where is gold, there is Wario. Jumping on the heads of enemies? Forget it, this guy uses brute force to plow down anything in his way.

Captain Toad

Captain Toad isn't the bravest guy, and thanks to his overstuffed backpack, he isn't the best jumper either, but when the heroes find themselves in trouble, he is willing to do what he can.
Power | ![]() ![]() |
Speed | ![]() ![]() |
Jump | |
Special | Highly Optimistic |
Captain Toad believes in himself really really hard! |
Takko

This little fellow is a plant-octopus hybrid. It's the right season for them to grow in ?-Blocks. Free one, and he will help you glide over longer distances. Recently, the following new types have been disovered:
- Melon Takko: This fellow really loves melons and eats them like chewing gum.
Press the Takko-Key to shoot melon seeds that can stun enemies and more.
- Bulb Takko: This one emits a bright light, and can come in handy in dark caves.
Always lighting the path ahead of you, you can also command it to stop and light a larger area.
The engery unleashed this way might have an interesting effect on nearby coins...
- Fire Takko: When a normal Takko consumes a certain type of pepper it turns into Fire Takko!
Little research has been conducted on this phenomenon yet, due to complications with burning labs...
