Editing List of implied characters

This '''list of implied characters''' is a list of characters that have not physically appeared in any form of media up to this point in time. Regardless of their lack of appearance, the implied characters have been mentioned at least once throughout the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]]. For a list of non-fictional people who have been referenced throughout the series, please see the [[list of implied people]].

 

 

 

'''{{wp|Agent Smith}}''' is a character from the ''{{wp|The Matrix (franchise)|Matrix}}'' film series. In ''[[Welcome to Greedville]]'', he is referenced in the memo written by [[List of implied characters#Thaddeus P. Gradgrind|Thaddeus P. Gradgrind]], which can be found in the [[Welcome to Greedville#Pyramid Theater|Pyramid Theater]].

 

 

'''Apefucius''' was mentioned in the [[Donkey Kong Country (television series)|''Donkey Kong Country'' television series]] episode "[[Kong Fu (episode)|Kong Fu]]" by [[Kong Fu (character)|the episode's titular character]] in a song. Apefucius was the one who taught Kong Fu that "The mind must be as sharp as a wisdom tooth." Apefucius is a reference to the famous Chinese philosopher {{wp|Confucius}}.

 

'''Aunt Maria''' is an aunt of Mario and Luigi's who has been referenced on two separate occasions. The first mention is in ''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' episode "[[Crimes R Us]]". While looking at clouds with Mario, Luigi notes that one of them resembles their aunt Maria.

The second mention comes from ''[[Doors to Doom]]'', in which [[Donkey Kong Jr.]]'s yell is compared to a cross between Tarzan's cry and the screech Aunt Maria makes when the Mario Bros. walk on her newly waxed floor. However, given that the ''[[Nintendo Adventure Books]]'' were produced separately from ''The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3'', these two references may be a coincidence given that the name Maria is very similar to Mario.

'''Bachelor's girlfriend''' is the unseen love interest of [[Bachelor]] in the [[Game Boy Advance]] version of ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3 (Game Boy Advance)|Donkey Kong Country 3]]''. Bachelor implies that she is "hot," and he is currently dating her. Like Bachelor, she is presumably a bear herself.

==Barbara the Bush==

'''Barbara the Bush''' is a character who [[Stanley the Talking Fish]] mentions in the first ''[[Nintendo Comics System]]'' story, "[[The Fish That Should've Gotten Away]]". Her name may be a reference to {{wp|Barbara Bush}}, who was {{wp|First lady of the United States|First Lady}} of the [[United States of America|United States]] at time of its publication. Stanley tells Mario about his relationship with Barbara, asking Mario how to tell the other trees that he is only interested in Barbara.

In "[[Love Flounders]]", Stanley reveals that he has broken up with Barbara, claiming their relationship was "just guppy love".

==Big Bama and Neutron B==

{{quote|While listening to country music, I do ten sets of 100 push-ups each. That's how I do such powerful attacks!! And also because I watch pro wrestling!! I like to cheer for Big Bama and Neutron B!!|[[Wario]]|''[[Wario Land 4]]'' instruction manual, page 39}}

==Big Bird==

'''{{wp|Big Bird}}''' is a {{wp|List of Sesame Street Muppets|Muppet}} character designed by {{wp|Jim Henson}} and built by {{wp|Kermit Love}} for the children's television show ''{{wp|Sesame Street}}''. In ''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' episode "[[Sneaky Lying Cheating Giant Ninja Koopas]]", the [[Royal Parrot]] refuses to fly off with [[Mario]], claiming his whole life is in the cage, including a poster of Big Bird.

In the Latin American Spanish dub and Castilian Spanish re-dub, the Big Bird poster is replaced with a photo of {{wp|Woody Woodpecker}}. In the French dub, it is replaced by a [[List of implied people#Bernard Loiseau|Bernard Loiseau]] cookbook collection.

The '''Big Rock Who Watches''' seems to be the deity of the [[Cragnon]]s of ''[[Super Paper Mario]]''. In the opening of [[Land of the Cragnons|Chapter 5]], two Cragnons are shown praying for the survival of their people, who are being terrorized by the [[Floro Sapien]]s, and when Mario falls into their midst, they believe he was sent by the Big Rock Who Watches to save them. Big Rock Who Watches may be a fourth-wall-breaking reference to the player, similar to other allusions to the player by other characters in the game.

|JapM=Portmanteau of「ボム{{ruby|兵|へい}}」(''Bomuhei'', "[[Bob-omb]]") and Japanese female name ending「~リン」(''-rin'')

The '''Bog Monster''' is an apparently horrific creature that, according to [[General Klump|Klump]], eats everything in sight. It resides in the [[Forbidden Forest]] on [[Donkey Kong Island|Kongo Bongo Island]], as stated in the ''Donkey Kong Country'' cartoon. As it is never seen, the only physical description given is in the lyrics to one of the songs in an, in which it is described as a monster having crystal skin, giant claws, dripping fangs, beady red eyes, stinky breath that could knock over a rhino, hair full of maggots, ears dripping something yellow, and arms thicker than a tree. Of course, this is when [[Donkey Kong]] saw it and that was [[Cranky Kong]] disguised as a Bog Monster, so this may not be an accurate description.

In the ''Donkey Kong Country'' episode "[[Bug a Boogie]]", it is revealed that Donkey Kong secretly feared the Bog Monster, as, when he was young, Cranky Kong told him that if he ventured into the Forbidden Forest, the Bog Monster would get him; one day, Donkey Kong disobeyed Cranky Kong and decided to go into the Forbidden Forest, only to encounter and subsequently be scared by a Bog Monster. It is later revealed to Donkey Kong by Cranky Kong that he had, in actuality, simply made up the story of the Bog Monster, and that it was him who scared Donkey Kong when he entered the Forbidden Forest, wanting to teach Donkey Kong a lesson in disobeying him.

 

 

[[Diddy Kong]] also has the talent of mimicking the roar of one, while [[Funky Kong]] apparently growls like one when he sleeps.

 

'''Bomberto's wife''' is mentioned by [[Bomberto]] during his trouble in ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door.'' In it, Bomberto's wife gives Bomberto his lunchbox for the day, but it is empty. As such, a hungry Bomberto asks Mario to bring him food instead.

'''Bowser's father''' was briefly mentioned by him in the ''[[Nintendo Comics System]]'' issues "[[Bedtime for Drain-Head]]" and "[[The Buddy System]]". As Bowser's father was only mentioned in passing, not much is known about him, except that he was supposedly a criminal on the run, as Bowser told the captured [[Toad]] that he hoped to see his father on the television program "[[List of implied entertainment#Kingdom's Most Wanted|Kingdom's Most Wanted]]", which is seemingly a parody of ''{{wp|America's Most Wanted}}'', a show dedicated to helping catch criminals.

 

 

==Bowser's grandfather==

'''Bowser's grandfather''' is a character mentioned by Bowser in ''[[Mario Party Advance]]''. In the quest [[Bowser: Accused!]], Bowser states that the clock in [[Bowser Mansion|his mansion]] belonged to his "grandpappy". It is unknown if that is true.

'''Bowser's sister''' is one of Bowser's family members. She is only mentioned in the song "[[Ignorance is Bliss]]" when Bowser likens Peach to his sister because they both enjoy reading, which he views disparagingly. According to Bowser, his sister got a blister on her brain from all her reading.

'''Britney''' is the lead female character in ''[[Toad Force V]]'', an implied action TV show mentioned several times in ''[[Mario Party Advance]]''; Britney herself is only brought up briefly by [[Mushbert]] in the mission [[DVD for Me]].

One of the few things known about Britney is that she surpasses the hero of ''Toad Force V'', [[Jack (character)|Jack]], in popularity among the show's fanbase, presumably making her the most popular character in the series. She is Jack's sidekick, and together they are the only known members of the Toad Force V group of protagonists. It is possible that she, like many other characters on the show, is a robotic Toad, but this is theoretical as she is simply identified as a "Heroine", and nothing more.

 

The '''businessman's wife''' is mentioned by the [[businessman]] in ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door''. According to him, his wife would have "let [him] had it" if he had been fired from his job, and thanks Mario for saving his marriage by returning the Nitro Honey Syrup.

It is known that Goodstyle has been passed down in the family and that each family member has had their own machine (Cannoli had the [[Mad Hat Mk. I]]) and that each machine had a weakness. The [[Mad Hat Mk. II]] has been protecting the Cannoli family for generations, and is probably the whole family's machine.

'''C. Parmesan''' is a book author implied in the [[Study (Luigi's Mansion)|Study]] in ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]''. In this room, there is a book titled ''Darkness is Their Cheese'', which clues the player about the hidden [[cheese]] found in various rooms throughout the [[Luigi's Mansion (location)|mansion]], which spawn [[Gold Mouse|Gold Mice]] when examined with the [[Game Boy Horror]].

==The Cap'n==

'''The Cap'n''' is a character that is mentioned in ''Super Mario 64'' and its remake, ''Super Mario 64 DS''. In a cavern accessible by swimming through an underwater tunnel past the ship in [[Jolly Roger Bay]], there is a sign with a message from the Cap'n stating that anybody who enters will "meet certain disaster." At the end of the cavern, another sign near a group of [[treasure chest]]s contains a second message from the Cap'n, this time stating that to obtain his treasure, the player must open the treasure chests in the correct order, but does not explain what the order is. Opening the chests reveals that the Cap'n's "treasure" is the Power Star for the [[Treasure in the Ocean Cave|third mission]].

As the word "cap'n" is simply short for the word "captain", the title has been used in other ''Super Mario'' games; an example of this is in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'', where the captain of the [[S.S. Chuckola]] is referred to as "Cap'n" in one line of dialogue.

Luigi met Cranberry in Rapturous Ruins, where he was found sleeping. With a sneeze (a soft call in the Super Luigi novelization), Luigi awoke Cranberry and earned the ability to speak his language; Cranberry explained that the Luffs were once a great empire because of their use of the Marvelous Compass's powers, but they were cursed because of their greed. Seeing his own people fall into ruin, Cranberry decided to split the compass into seven parts to avoid the repetition of the Luffian fate, hiding six Marvelous Compass pieces and keeping one with himself in Rapturous Ruins.

The '''Dark Mage''' is a character mentioned in the English localization of ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]''.

'''Destiny Del Vecchio''' is a character mentioned in ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Movie]]'' with whom Mario and Luigi went to high school. When Mario sees a news broadcast about a flood in Brooklyn, he sees it as a chance to save Brooklyn, saying, "''Luigi, this is our chance! Destiny is calling!''"

Mario and Luigi quickly realize their fate before they find out what the Mega Moles do to their victims, leading to a [[Game Over]].

{{quote|I haven't been able to buy food for my children since my husband turned into a pig.|Eve|Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door}}

'''Eve's husband''' is mentioned by [[Eve]] in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. Eve married him sometime after [[Podley]] left her, and he is presumedly the father of her children. Prior to Mario arriving in [[Twilight Town]], Eve's husband was turned into a pig by [[Doopliss]]. Unable to provide for his family, Eve and her children began to starve. Because of this, as well as Eve mentioning that she is a housewife during her trouble, it can be assumed that he is the breadwinner for the family, and his lack of a confirmed appearance could imply he is not home often. It can also be assumed he is changed back to normal alongside the other transformed villagers and is making money for his family again, allowing Eve to buy [[Meteor Meal|Meteor Meals]]. Interestingly, Eve never mentions being in love with her husband, and even states that she still loves Podley if Mario lies to her about what he said.

'''Footsteps of Meat''' is a [[List of characters|character]] (possibly a [[Sammer Guy]]) mentioned by [[Tippi]] in ''Super Paper Mario''. When using her [[Tattle]] on [[List of Sammer Guys#Footsteps of Coins|Footsteps of Coins]], she reveals that he has a lesser-known brother called Footsteps of Meat. This may be a reference to Bowser's ability to collect [[meat]] in his intermissions of ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'' and how Footsteps of Coins puts [[coin]]s in all [[level]]s, implying that Footsteps of Meat disperses the meat throughout Bowser’s levels.

==Four heroes==

The '''four heroes''' were a quartet of unnamed characters who sealed away the [[Shadow Queen]] one thousand years prior to the events of ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. They consisted of a strong male [[Toad (species)|Toad]] from [[Petal Meadows]]; a wise female [[Goomba]] from [[Boggly Woods]]; a scar covered, world-traveling male [[Koopa (species)|Koopa]]; and a cold female [[Boo]]. They learned of the evil Shadow Queen and teamed up to defeat her. They managed to seal the demon, but just before the fight was completed, she cursed them. If they ever let go of the [[Crystal Stars]], a [[black chest]] would appear and lock them away for all eternity.

The heroes knew the seal on the Shadow Queen was only temporary, and they wanted the stars available to one who might need them. They made a [[Magical Map]] to the stars, and to stop evil from using it, they put it in a box that could only be opened by the pure of heart. The [[Beldam|merchant]] in the opening scene of the game has the box and gives it to [[Princess Peach]].

The Toad was exhausted from his journey and collapsed in Petal Meadows. A healer saved him, but knowing his fate, the Toad gave them his Crystal Star and asked them to hide it where nobody would find it. The Goomba knew the [[Puni]]es were being terrorized by the nearby monsters, so she hollowed out [[the Great Tree]]. She gave the [[Emerald Star]] to the Punies where they have been keeping it safe for the past thousand years. The Koopa went to hide the [[Sapphire Star]] in [[Keelhaul Key]], but [[Cortez]] came and easily took it for himself. The Koopa was so tired he did not stand a chance. His chest is in the [[Pirate's Grotto]]. The Boo hid the [[Ruby Star]] in [[Creepy Steeple]], and her box is in a shop's storage room in [[Twilight Town]].

 

One by one, Mario finds the chests and opens them with the [[Black Key]]s, releasing them and letting them "curse" Mario with new powers. While the others appear to be taunting Mario, the Koopa one at least did not appear evil, as he is rehearsing the speech. After they "curse" Mario, they vanish and are neither seen nor mentioned again. Mario can also pay [[Grifty]] to hear the story of their adventure and how they came to be trapped in the black chests.

 

'''[[Fronk]]'s family''' is mentioned on Fronk's Employee Showcase page on the WarioWare, Inc. Official Site. When asked about his family, Fronk responds by saying he has a wife and kid.

Their mother is mentioned by both her sons. Klump once stated on how his mother always told him to wear his helmet. Skurvy mentions his mother during the song "[[List of Donkey Kong Country (television series) songs#The Booty Boogie|The Booty Boogie]]", in the line "If ya ask me mother, she'll say, 'Ah, he's not so bad' | But when I left the house, I took everything she had".

 

'''Genghis Koopa''' was an ancestor of Bowser mentioned in the Nintendo Adventure Book ''[[Double Trouble (book)|Double Trouble]]''. When Mario is pursuing Iggy Koopa down the hallway inside Fort Koopa, he accidentally bumps into a statue of Genghis Koopa, causing it to fall over and shatter. A mouse then crawls out of the statue and scurries away. He is a parody of Genghis Khan.

 

'''[[raywiki:Globox|Globox]]''' is [[Rayman]]'s best friend and a major character in the {{wp|Rayman|''Rayman'' franchise}}. He is mentioned by the [[Phantom (character)|Phantom]] in his song, "[[Phantom Returns]]", in the [[Rayman in the Phantom Show]] DLC for ''[[Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope]]'', during which he derides Rayman by stating that his friendship with Globox is getting weaker.

Hamma Jamma's first mention of him states that he dropped out of Hammer Bros. school, choosing to enroll in Business Bros. school. This act seemed to have embarrassed and confused his son. The last mention of him, however, seems to suggest that Hamma Jamma may still love his father: When referring to his dad this time, Hamma says that he is actually attending his fight that day (which could mean that he appeared in the audience during one of Mario's fights), and he wishes to win and impress him.

'''Hamma Jamma's grandfather''' is a [[Hammer Bro]] of unknown name, brought up by his grandson several times in ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door''. He actually first appears as an unknown Hammer Bro in ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]''

Because of this, he and his partner retired out of depression. [[Flamm]] sells [[Map]]s left behind by Heronicus' Flopside Counterpart. His name is not mentioned at any point of the game nor is he even seen.

'''Hizza''' is a giant, two-headed snake that Luigi fights during his adventure to assemble the Marvelous Compass and rescue Princess Eclair. In ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'', the people of [[Plumpbelly Village]] are forced to sacrifice young maidens to the monstrous snake Hizza. Eventually, the mayor's daughter is the next to be sacrificed. As such, Luigi puts on the young woman's dress and travels (with his new partner [[Jerry]]) to Hizza's lair. During the battle that follows, Luigi manages to trick Hizza's two heads into eating each other, thus destroying the creature for all eternity as well as gaining a piece of the Marvelous Compass. As a result, the citizens of Plumpbelly Village no longer have to live in fear.
