A list of implied species that have not physically appeared in any form of media up to this point in time. Regardless of their lack of appearances, the implied species have been mentioned at least once throughout the Super Mario franchise.

Ancient Stickerish[edit]

The Ancient Stickerish people are mentioned in Paper Mario: Sticker Star. In the Enigmansion, one text on a bookshelf reads "PAPERABBLESTICKEROBBLE DERRSTICKER STICKARONISTICK PAPERDAPERDOOPER STICKITYSTICKITYSTICKITY PAPEROOSKI PAPERDOODLE STICKERPAPERRAWK." Kersti claims to have not studied Ancient Stickerish since high school, and flunked her Ancient Stickerish class. However, she manages to translate it as "an ancient prophecy that fell from the Sticker Comet" that reads "The five lights...then the truth shall be revealed!"

Spanish Pegatinés antiguo[?] Old Stickerese

Business Bro[edit]

Business Bros. are a type of Hammer Bro whose existence is only implied in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. The only known Business Bro is Hamma Jamma's father.

As Hamma Jamma tells Mario, dropping out of Hammer Bros. school to go to Business Bros. school (as his father did) is a responsible (yet, according to him, lame) act.

Luff[edit]

The Luffs are an ancient race mentioned in Luigi's stories and the Super Luigi book series in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. Fitting with the food theme of Luigi's adventure, "Luff" may derive from "loaf" (as in a loaf of bread).

The Luffs created the Marvelous Compass, which they used to create an empire that spanned much of the world. The Luffs were later cursed by the compass due to their greed, causing the Luff empire to fall into ruin. The survivors of the empire's collapse, including a Luff boy named Cranberry, split the compass into seven parts to prevent a repeat of their fate. Cranberry kept one of the pieces and went to sleep in the Rapturous Ruins for 1,000 years, left as the last of his people, until he was awoken by Luigi; he disappeared after giving Luigi his piece of the compass and telling the story of his people.

While the Luffs are not mentioned again after Cranberry's disappearance in Luigi's account of his adventure, Super Luigi 5 tells that the villainous Minister Crepe intended to allow the Luff empire to rule again using the Marvelous Compass. Being defeated by Luigi shortly after revealing his intentions, Crepe did not succeed in accomplishing this.
