Without patriotic people like Mario, United States would literally fall to pieces. Over the existence of the United States there have been very many "patriotic" people. It is tough to compare some of them because their patriotism is equal to Mario's, just in different ways.

Mario has showed us that being a proud citizen of Glendora, California, United States wasn't something to take for granted. Mario will never diss United States, but will speak up when it's people are being mistreated and may join a rally to support the cause.
