The '''Mario Bros.' House''', also known as '''Mario's House''' or '''Mario's Pad''', is a modest, cozy house that appears in some games of the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]]. Though its appearances are mostly found in earlier, typically spin-off games and installments, it does make occasional appearances in the modern-day series in games such as ''[[Paper Mario: Color Splash]]''. Throughout the games, the layout as well as the location of the house seem to change, although it always provides a minor role in the storyline, particularly the prologue. The house can actually be explored in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'' and ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions]]'', in which it contains a bathroom, upstairs bedroom, and kitchen. More often than not, however, the house has one room, a living area, with the interior seldom explored.

===''Super Mario Bros.: Peach-hime Kyūshutsu Dai Sakusen!''===
The first scene of ''[[Super Mario Bros.: Peach-hime Kyūshutsu Dai Sakusen!]]'' takes places in what appears to be the living room of the house. Mario plays a video game on a [[Family Computer]] late at night, to Luigi's chagrin, who goes off to bed. On the screen, the player character is replaced by [[Princess Peach]], escaping from ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' enemies through the television. [[Bowser]] emerges from the television, and he knocks Mario through a hole in the floor and brings Peach back through the television. Before Mario can give chase, a "[[Game Over]]" screen stops him. Luigi, awake, checks the disturbance and rejects Mario's story. After Luigi leaves, Mario finds the [[Brooch]] that the princess was wearing around her neck, holding it tightly and reassured that the encounter was real.

===''Club Nintendo''===
====''Süße Weihnachten''====
Mario's home is shown several times in the ''[[Club Nintendo (magazine)|Club Nintendo]]'' comic series. It makes its first full appearance in "[[Süße Weihnachten]]." As the comic is set around Christmas, the house is decorated in a Christmas-like style, and it also has a Christmas tree. It is a very small house with apparently only one room, which resembles the version seen in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]''. At the time of the comic's setting, Mario is not at home, but the door is opened. [[Bowser]] takes this chance to steal some sweets.

====''Super Mario: Im Rausch der Geschwindigkeit''====
In ''[[Super Mario: Im Rausch der Geschwindigkeit]]'', not much of the house is seen, but it appears to be much larger than in its previous comic appearance. It also has a bathroom (just like in the later comic ''[[Super Mario: Die Verwandlung]]''). The fact that it is multistory may imply that Mario lives in an apartment during the events of this comic.

====''Super Mario: Coole Klänge''====
''[[Super Mario: Coole Klänge]]'' shows for the first time that Mario and Luigi live in the same house. The comic also shows a radio, a saxophone, and several guitars in their home.

====''Super Mario: Verloren in der Zeit''====
[[File:MariosHouse-CN.jpg|thumb|upright=0.85|Mario's House as seen in ''[[Super Mario: Verloren in der Zeit]]'']]
The story ''[[Super Mario: Verloren in der Zeit]]'' reveals the location of the house, Pilzgasse 13, which translates to "Mushroom Alley 13." Another possible translation would be "Mushroom Way"&ndash;the area near the house in ''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars'', though this similarity is probably coincidental. The house in the comic is very big compared to its counterpart in the games, and it is covered with ivy. Not much is known about the inside, except that Mario has a TV.
{{br}}

====''Warios Weihnachtsmärchen''====
Finally, the house is shown again in ''[[Warios Weihnachtsmärchen]]''. In this comic, it is painted white and has a red door that reads "MARIO" in large letters. Nothing is known about it otherwise, except that it is decorated similarly to the house in ''Süße Weihnachten''.

===''Super Mario'' (Kodansha manga)===
[[File:MariosHouse-KC.jpg|thumb|150px|Mario's House as seen in the ''Super Mario Kart'' arc]]
In ''[[Super Mario Kart]]'' adapatation of [[Super Mario (Kodansha manga)|Kodansha's ''Super Mario'' manga]], Mario and Luigi construct [[kart]]s outside their home after accidentally breaking an item of [[Mushroom King|the king]]'s while plumbing.

In ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'', the house is named Mario's Pad and is connected to [[Vista Hill]] to the west and [[Mushroom Way]] to the east. It has a sign that reads "Pipe House", which is changed to "Mario House" in the [[Super Mario RPG (Nintendo Switch)|Nintendo Switch remake]], and sits in a small forested area with a [[Save Block]]. The interior of the house is a single room with a bed, a [[Fungi Light]], a cuckoo clock, and a change of clothes hanging on the wall. Outside, several large wrenches are hanging up on the side of the house. Additionally, the house has a huge pipe sticking out of the roof, which Mario falls through after [[Exor]] crashes into [[Bowser's Castle|Bowser's Keep]]. After visiting the [[Three Musty Fears]], Dry Bones hides [[Dry Bones Flag|his flag]] under Mario's bed.

The intro of ''[[Wrecking Crew '98]]'' shows Mario returning home from a vacation. Bowser has been conducting a constructing campaign of building high-rises in the Mushroom Kingdom, one of which casts a large shadow on Mario's house which wilts his flowers. He then enters his house to retrieve his blue hammer to demolish the building.

[[File:Paper Mario Color Splash - Mario House.png|thumb|The Mario Bros.' House in the opening sequence of ''Paper Mario: Color Splash'']]
In ''[[Paper Mario]]'', the house is named '''Mario's House''' and is located a short distance to the west of [[Peach's Castle|Princess Peach's Castle]], though it can be reached only via a [[Warp Pipe]] in [[Toad Town]]. It has a secret basement that [[Luigi]] had added to the house, as he thought Mario would not find [[Luigi's Diary|his diary]] there. Mario is able to check his battle statistics (as well as other statistics) and his mail here; he is even able to rest in his bed in ''Paper Mario''. Mario can visit his house whenever he wants to, and he is able to see Luigi doing something different every time, whether it be standing outside or writing in his diary.

In ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', the house does not change much, but it has a red and green theme, such as the red and green coffee mugs and toothbrushes. Although only a small portion of it is visible, a full recreation of the bedroom as it appeared in ''Paper Mario'' can be seen in the interior during the opening.

In ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'', Mario has pictures of his [[partner]]s from the previous two games, but the house is otherwise unchanged. This time, it is named the '''Mario Bros.' House''', as titled by its [[Super Paper Mario sound test|theme]].

The Mario Bros.' House reappears in the opening sequence of ''[[Paper Mario: Color Splash]]'', when Princess Peach and Toad come to speak with Mario about the letter they received. Although the exterior is somewhat similar to previous games, the inside is completely different, looking more like the interior in ''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars''. It is shown to be on one side of a small river.

====''Paper Mario'' information====
Mario is able to sleep in his house, thereby fully recovering his [[Heart Point|HP]], [[Flower Point|FP]], and [[Star Power]]. He is also able to check his [[List of letters in Paper Mario|letters]], which are put on his desk. After getting the [[Super Boots]], Mario is able to access Luigi's secret basement and read [[Luigi's Diary]]. He is also able to check his statistics on a blackboard, which include:<i>
*[[Coin]]s Earned: xxx
*[[Badge]]s Collected: xx/80
*[[Star Piece (Paper Mario series)|Star Piece]]s Collected: xxx/160
*[[List of Tayce T. recipes|Tayce T.'s Recipes]]: xx/50
*[[Chuck Quizmo]]'s Quizzes: [correct attempts]/[all attempts]
*Number of Battles: xxx
*Your [[First Strike]]s: xxx
*Enemies' First Strikes: xxx
*Total [[Power Bounce]]s: xxx</i>
If Mario has not yet done any of the things above when reading the board, the corresponding entry will show as "???"

[[Goombario]]'s tattle of Mario's House states: ''"It's your house! Cool! Nice landscaping! I like my house, but yours is even nicer. Did you do the decorating yourself?"''

The in-game map description states: ''"Mario and Luigi live here, but Luigi looks after the house. Here you can recover HP and FP or read letters sent to Mario."''

===''Dr. Mario 64''===
[[Dr. Mario]]'s house (as he is an "alter-ego" of Mario) is seen in the beginning scene of the story mode in ''[[Dr. Mario 64]]''.

===''Mario Party 3''===
[[File:LuigisHouse_MP3.png|thumb|Luigi's destroyed house in ''Mario Party 3'']]
In ''[[Mario Party 3]]'' on [[Waluigi's Island]], there are remains of Luigi's house, destroyed by a [[Piranha Plant]] working for [[Waluigi]].
{{br}}

===''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga'' / ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions''===
[[File:MarioLuigiHouse.png|thumb|Luigi, hanging clothes in front of the house]]
In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'', '''Mario and Luigi's house'''<ref>Thomason, Steve. ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga'' Player's Guide. Page 28.</ref> is seen in the opening where the worried Toad arrives to tell the Mario Bros. that Princess Peach's voice had been stolen. This version has a kitchenette, a loft that has the two brothers' beds, a big portrait of Princess Peach, and a bathroom.

Outside, the house is pale yellow in color and has a red roof, a [[Super Star|Star]] antenna, and a chimney resembling a pipe. [[Peach's Castle]] is also able to be seen from the home.

Like in ''Super Mario RPG: Legend of Seven Stars'', the music is an arrangement of the [[Ground Theme (Super Mario Bros.)|Ground Theme]] from ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' and the [[World 1 (Super Mario Bros. 3)|World 1]] map theme from ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''.

In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions]]'', the interior of the house has been changed, now including cameos from previous ''Super Mario'' titles.

===''Dance Dance Revolution: Mario Mix''===
[[File:DDRMM MarioHouse.png|thumb|left|Mario's House with a [[Mario Cap]] as the roof]]
In ''[[Dance Dance Revolution: Mario Mix]]'', Mario and Luigi's house has, depending on which was selected, a huge [[Mario Cap]] or [[Luigi Cap]] for a roof. It also has a green mustache-like decoration with a star in the center and is very small. There also was a river just down the path that flooded.
{{br}}

===''Super Mario Run''===
Only Luigi's House appears in ''[[Super Mario Run]]'', and in this game, it unlocks Luigi as a playable character when placed in the kingdom for the first time. In this game, the house looks like a [[Toad House]] with a giant Luigi Cap instead of a Toad's cap (though it is still shaped like one).

===LEGO ''Super Mario''===
Mario's House appears in the [[LEGO Super Mario|LEGO ''Super Mario'']] expansion sets Mario's House & Yoshi and Picnic at Mario's House. The house is yellow in color and it has a red roof and, in the latter set, green windows. A sign with Mario's name is present on top of the entrance.

===''The Super Mario Bros. Movie''===
[[File:TSMBM Mario Bros.' House.jpg|thumb|left=0.85|The Mario Bros.' House as seen in ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Movie]]'']]
At the very end of ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Movie]]'', the Mario Bros.' House appears as part of [[Toad Town]] where [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] take up residence after defeating [[Bowser]]. Near the house is a direct [[Warp Pipe]] to [[Brooklyn]]. Much like in their apartment in [[Brooklyn]] and in the RPG games, Mario and Luigi share a bedroom and have their own beds.
