Ernest Richards

"Bath Water!"

-Ernest

Ernest is a main character in the TMG Series. He was first introduced as an old man who was one of Yoshi's Neighbours in his old house. He developed a rivalry with Mario and eventually went to live with him. (Much to Mario's frustration) Ernest is known to fall over whenever he finishes speaking due to a childhood experience which isn't fully explained. He still believes Nazis exist and he used to fight in World War 2 around the age of 4 because he wanted to protect his own country instead of becoming an evacuee. He tries to find water in Mario's bathtub so he can have a "bath". Ernest says he can't see the taps despite the fact he is actually looking at them as he says it, which could hint that Ernest suffers from minor blindness. But he is shown to have average sight like when he saw Rex dress up as him for Halloween. Ernest has a relationship with Mario's Mother, Margaret Richards. (Formerly Margaret Mario)
