'''Holly Mackerel''' is a mermaid from ''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' episode "[[The Ugly Mermaid]]." She is the princess of the underwater land of [[Mertropolis]], and the daughter of [[King Mackerel]]. During the episode, [[Mario]] is entombed in concrete by King Koopa and drowns by being sent to the sea floor, but is saved by Holly, who takes him to Mertropolis.

[[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]], [[Luigi]] and [[Toad]] follow them. After rescuing Mario, Holly falls in love with him, mistaking him for a frog prince. Her name is a portmanteau of "Holly," a given female name, and "holy mackerel," an expression of surprise.

Unlike traditional depictions of mermaids, she has female human legs and a fish's head and torso.
