Someone should port Mario's model from Super Mario 64, with all of its associated animations, to Blockland. Custom animations could be made to allow him to do everything a Blockland player can do. He could use flat shading to give him a somewhat blocky appearance. Plus, he only uses four little textures for his eyes, mustache, sideburns, and buttons, giving him a somewhat Lego-ish appearance to begin with.
As a player type, he would be a bit faster than a standard player, but not as much so as a quake-like player. At default size, he would stand about as tall as a standard player, and his jump height would be that of about 25 plates, enough to clear an 8x cube and then some. Rather than red, his hat and shirt color would depend on the player's shirt color. The rest of him would be colored as normal.
Maybe he could use custom sounds from Super Mario 64 too? "Ya!" when he jumps, "Ung!" when he takes damage, etc.
