He didn't really want to become a show off and/or hurt someones feelings.
In the novel "Maniac Magee" by Jerry Spinelli, Mars Bar Thompson is portrayed as a bully and antagonist to the main character, Jeffrey "Maniac" Magee. Mars Bar is depicted as aggressive, intimidating, and confrontational towards Maniac. He is known for his tough exterior and his tendency to pick on others, particularly Maniac.
Oh, dude, that's easy! In the book "Maniac Magee," it's Amanda Beale who picks Maniac first for a game of football. She sees his skills and knows he's the MVP material. It's like she's the coach making the best draft pick ever.
Jerry Spinelli chose Holidaysburg, Pennsylvania as the setting for "Maniac Magee" because he wanted a small town that reflected a sense of community and historical significance. Holidaysburg's historic charm, diverse population, and strong sense of neighborhood unity made it an ideal backdrop for the story of a young boy who transcends racial divides and brings people together through his actions.
Maniac takes Mars Bar to the Pickwells before the McNabs to showcase his desire to fit in and demonstrate goodwill. He recognizes that the Pickwell family is more welcoming and accepting, contrasting with the McNabs, who are more confrontational and aggressive. By bringing a treat, Maniac hopes to build a positive connection and create a sense of belonging in a community that has largely been unkind to him. This gesture reflects his longing for friendship and acceptance amidst his tumultuous journey.

Yes, it will never leave unless humans go there and pick it up.
God, or the big bang, take your pick.
Nothing except pick up rock samples. Joke: The Mars Rover can do the moon walk.
Socs literally try to pick a fight and jump greasers for fun.
Pick any serial killer.
