Mario's Gloves are a part of Mario's clothing. He wears them in every appearance, except for older media such as Wrecking Crew and certain Game & Watch titles, and in appearances where Mario is a baby.
In Luigi's Mansion, Mario loses one of his gloves inside the mansion, forcing Luigi to search for it. It is eventually found in the Projection Room after the Cinema Ghosts haunting it are cleared. In the remake's Hidden Mansion, the item is located in the Courtyard after all of the Ceiling Surprises and Purple Bombers in the area are cleared. It is one of the items that has to be given to Madame Clairvoya.[1]

Trivia[edit]
- Even though Mario lost his glove in Luigi's Mansion, he is still shown wearing both gloves while in his painting. The same applies to his hat and his shoe.
- As stated by Shigeru Miyamoto, Mario's design was originally given white gloves to make his movements easier to spot when he jumped.[2] Mario's line in The Super Mario Bros. Movie about the gloves being a means to stand out, while in context being about the gloves as a visual gimmick for his and Luigi's plumbing company, was likely written as a nod to this point of origin. Despite this, Mario does not wear gloves in the original Japanese arcade cabinet or in the spritework of the game, nor in the Japanese illustrations or sprites for the sequel, Donkey Kong Jr.. Additionally, Zavier Leslie Cabarga, the illustrator for the North American flyer in a Facebook post in 2015, has claimed to be the one who gave the gloves to Mario while modeling him after Popeye.
