| | '''Mario Family''' is NOT your average game. In fact, it is not a game at all! Just what IS this strange game? In 1978, Maruzen, an important Japanese sewing machine manufacturer, changed its name to Jaguar Sewing Machine Co. This eventually became Jaguar |

| '''''Mario Family''''' is a piece of software for the [[Game Boy Color]] compatible with Jaguar's JN-100 sewing machine. It was released only in Japan on August 27, 2001. ''Mario Family'' is the first ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' sewing game. It follows ''[[I am a teacher: Super Mario Sweater]]'', a knitting game made for the [[Family Computer Disk System]]. It was first exhibited at the {{wp|Nintendo Space World#Space World 2001|Nintendo Space World 2001}} venue along with ''{{iw|wikirby|Kirby Family}}''. The latter was eventually canceled because ''Mario Family'' sold poorly, partly due to the required Jaguar sewing machine costs (and being geared towards a younger audience).<ref>{{cite|url=pppland.web.fc2.com/data/11/index.htm|title=発売中止になったカービィゲーム|publisher=FC2|language=ja|accessdate=June 27, 2024}}</ref>

| ==Gameplay==
| |
| The JN-100 came with a cable that would link it to a Game Boy Color, allowing the player to choose one of several designs that the machine can copy onto fabric. Another more recent model, the JN-2000, also works with a Game Boy Color. The ''Mario Family'' cartridge has 32 patterns stored in it; in the case of Mario, Luigi, and Yoshi, the same pattern is copied twice. Players can also alter the colors of the below patterns with a number of alternate palettes. The patterns are pixelated versions of classic-era hand-drawn ''Super Mario'' character and item artworks, created and published for games like ''[[Super Mario World]]''.
