'''Grandma Mario''' is a late grandmother of [[Super Mario]] and [[Luigi]]. Given [[Mama Mario|their mother]] had the maiden name Rigassi and their grandmother had the last name Mario, she is likely their paternal grandmother. [[List of Implied Characters#Grandma Mia|Grandma Mia]], a grandmother mentioned by Mario, may or may not be the same character as Grandma Mario. Her only role to date is in ''[[The Super Mario Bros.

Little is actually revealed about Grandma Mario's past life, except that she was very strict towards Mario and Luigi when they were younger, and was not much of a looker. At some point, she attempted to scold Mario in his daydreams at [[Mario Brothers Plumbing]] from beyond her grave in Newark on several occasions. However, she could never fully finish her scoldings, as Luigi would always snap Mario out of his daydreams. | |||

Mario and Luigi soon enlist the help of [[The Old Psychic Lady|The Old Psychic Lady with the Evil Eye Who Reads Fortunes and Knows Everything Before it Happens]] to help them reach out and call forth Grandma Mario. Eventually, they succeed, only for Grandma Mario to use The Old Psychic Lady's body as a host. Back from the dead, but in another body, Grandma Mario makes her return by smacking Mario and scolding him. | |||
Grandma Mario | Looking around Mario Brothers Plumbing, Grandma Mario is appalled to see the messy condition the place is in and is unable to describe it in her own words. Luigi suggests that it is a dump, but she instead tells him to shut up and not talk back to her. Grandma Mario then exclaims that their dumpy heart broke her heart and makes her the laughing stock of wherever she had been buried, despite the fact that she is unable to remember the location, which Mario and Luigi guess is either Newark or upper Newark. | ||
Grandma Mario then tells Mario and Luigi to clean up their apartment, tells Luigi to wash behind his ears, and tells Mario to trim his nose hairs, so that she can finally rest easy, even if it has to be in Newark. With that said, Grandma Mario falls back onto a chair as her spirit leaves The Old Psychic Lady's body, presumably returning to her grave. | |||
