'''Aunt Maria''' is an aunt of Mario and Luigi's who has yet to make an appearance. 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. | |||

'''GPoppy''' is Mario and Luigi's grandfather, who was only ever seen in ''[[Nintendo Power]]''. On {{file link|Nintendo Power issue 7 image 5.jpg|page 93}} of [[Nintendo Power issue 7|issue 7]], a photograph of him can be seen hanging on a wall of Mario and Luigi's house labeled "GPoppy". GPoppy is similar in appearance to Mario and Luigi, except that he has white hair, beard, eyebrows, and mustache and his clothes are yellow and blue. He is also depicted smoking a pipe. | |||

'''Grandma Mario''' is a late grandmother of Mario and Luigi's. Her own name was stated by Mario to be his namesake. However, it is unclear as to whether she is Mario and Luigi's maternal or paternal grandmother. She came off as being somewhat stubborn. | |||
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 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]]. | |||
