Fun Club Mario is "fun", Kirby is "cute", Samus is "cool". How would you describe the rest of Nintendo's protagonists?

Idk, I feel Captain Falcon could be a Power Ranger.
Villager feels more like the quiet kid in class.
Poochy is derpy, but more like fun derpy.
You can't say anything bad about Pit. He's just an angel.
And Donkey Kong? Well, at least he's not funky and cranky.
While Mr. Game&Watch is just flatout old.
 
Link is; let‘s just say he had better things to do when other kids learned how to form words out of their „has!“ and „hos“
 
Link is adaptive/corageous
Samus is badass
Wario is greedy
Luigi is coward
Ganondorf is power hungry
Zelda is inteligent
Bowser is incompent
Peach is floaty
Mario is jumpy

I mostly associate classic Nintendo characters with their actions
Mario is run and jump
DK is roll and stomp
Kirby is float and eat
Samus is shoot
Link is sword and shield
Olimar is pull and throw

Fixed that for ya
 
Mario is relentlessly upbeat and fearless. The most nuanced depictions will have him being inconsiderate or getting into trouble because of these traits.

Donkey Kong is a comic figure, man stripped of all his pretensions, a gorilla wearing a tie. He's lazy, not too bright, has absolutely no social filter on his emotions, and only cares about his family and his food. Like Homer Simpson, but buff.

Link is portrayed a little different in every incarnation, but he's always a man of few words who is defined by his unflinching heroism in spite of his size. Literally embodies courage.

Kirby is the all-loving hero archetype who just wants to be friends with everyone. His image is defined by the contrast between his cute, friendly appearance and attitude, and his ludicrous power. Everyone is friends with Kirby in part because you only make the mistake of being enemies with Kirby once. He also likes food and naps.

Olimar is a family man who is a lot more thoughtful and well-spoken than his job as a simple space trucker would suggest. The way he appreciates the Pikmin and their planet on more than a utilitarian level forms the emotional core of the series, and is probably the reason why even when attempting to move on from him as the protagonist, the series is unable to drop him, because it's unwilling to introduce anyone else who shares that perspective.

Samus to me is defined by how she usually hides her emotions behind impassive armor, while her compassion tends to come out in grand gestures in which she will go far above and beyond the parameters of her mission, if not outright violate them, in order to do the right thing.

In what sense exactly?
In the game you exploit masses of fairly indistinguishable minions - the working class - in order to pillage local resources for material gains which benefit a small group of more advanced foreign beings.

Pikmin is stalinism bordering on hivemind collectivism. It is literally about the pikletariat who have no free will fighting for glorious leader Olimar who has no issue sending swarms of them to their deaths fighting against the bulbgeoise swine because he always has more in reserves.Literally peak authoritarian leftism.
