Despite this, she has been referenced on two separate occasions. However, her personality remains a mystery. The first mention was during the events of "[[Crimes R Us]]". While looking at clouds with Mario, Luigi noted that one of them resembled their aunt Maria. | ||
The second mention came from ''[[Doors to Doom]]'', in which [[Donkey Kong Jr.]]'s yell was compared to a cross of 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. | |||

Grandma Mario's only "appearance" was during "[[The Great Hereafter]]". Leading into the events of this segment, Mario had been having nightmares in which Grandma Mario kept scolding him, although Luigi always woke Mario up before they could finish on their own. After enlisting the help of [[The Old Psychic Lady|The Old Psychic Lady with the Evil Eye Who Reads Fortunes and Knows Everything Before it Happens]], Grandma Mario was able to temporarily possess Mario's body so that she could tell her grandsons to clean up [[Mario Brothers Plumbing|their apartment]]. | |||
