(I know that it might seem grimdark, but I personally feel like he’s one of Mario’s darkest villains. Would you agree?)
Line 61: Line 61:
Dimentio is intelligent and a skilled actor and trickster, being able to fool all of his peers into believing his loyalty is true. Dimentio is rather sadistic, taking pleasure in attacking his enemies and ending the games of Mario, Peach, Bowser, Luigi and even himself (though his game-ending explosions were not truly lethal and had only transported those caught in them elsewhere). He is also very arrogant, never believing there was even a chance of him failing to get his hands on the Chaos Heart. Despite deluding himself into believing that his goals are heroic, he understands that the heroes see him as evil.

Unlike Count Bleck and his other minions, Dimentio only cares about himself, having no qualms about recreating the universe in his own "perfect" image regardless of the consequences, and he only tolerates or values people on the basis of how useful they are. Dimentio initially feigns a mutual respect for Mario and the others, but he decides to end their games with the exception of Luigi, because at that point he was the only one of any use to him. When he openly reveals his disloyalty to Count Bleck near the end of the game, he appears to be angry at the count's intentions to wipe out existence and leave it in ruin; it soon becomes clear he was only acting in order to coerce Mario and Luigi into joining him, and because he wished to have the Chaos Heart for himself. In addition, when ultimately defeated, he was perfectly willing to destroy all of existence beyond repair post-mortem if he could not rule over it, even leaving behind a shadow of his power to ensure the Chaos Heart can exist long enough to achieve this purpose.
