Editing Talk:Mario and Luigi's niece

==(First topic)==
I know this is a nit-pick, but it seems to me that her shirt is to teal to call blue; just a thought, though. TheWanderingTaco.
:Yeah it's definitely a greener blue like cyan or teal. {{User:Mario/sig}} 14:42, May 20, 2023 (EDT)

== How is this their niece? Most likely cousin. ==

So the Polygon article says it is, but it was never quoted by the directors. The directors are quoted, specifically Horvath, mentioning only of Uncle Arthur, Uncle Tony and Aunt Marie. Only Polygon then mentions the niece and grandfather, not a quote from the directors. I think most likely this is Mario and Luigi's cousin, and it seems more evident that it's true. Mario and Luigi are the only siblings, there would need to be another sibling that has a daughter for her to be considered their niece. She is most likely the daughter of Uncle Arthur and Aunt Marie as they are all sitting next to each other at the dinner table. The only way she is a niece to anyone is Papa Mario and Uncle Tony. {{unsigned|Bebopblue}}
:I think it's more likely a cousin, but the text on Mario's Family states that "it is common in the United States to refer to one's first cousin once removed by terms such as "(second) nephew" and "(second) niece" for the sake of convenience." {{User:Mario/sig}} 15:13, May 24, 2023 (EDT)

Now that the movies' out, I noticed a small detail. There is a photo of just Arthur, Marie and the girl right under the photo of Mario playing tennis in the dining room, which pretty much would imply that they are father, mother and daughter. It can be seen right when Aunt Marie give a smack on Uncle Arthur's head for making fun of Mario, which seems kinda something a wife would do. Later right before the Mushroom Kingdom gets warped into Brooklyn another scene of the family is shown, and Aunt Marie takes away the girl's phone, something I can see a mother do. Aunt Marie really shows some discipline for those two. --[[User:Bebopblue|Bebopblue]] ([[User talk:Bebopblue|talk]]) 00:02, June 10, 2023 (EDT)

A bit of an update as {{user|Weegie baby}} pointed out that Arthur calls Mama Mario "Ma" when Mario and Luigi are hanging their caps before going to the dinner table. It's likely that Arthur started out as an older sibling to the protagonists, which would make the niece truly a niece. I think that after production wrapped up, the directors realized that Nintendo would be upset at them for unilaterally creating a third sibling, so he was turned into an uncle for the Polgyon interview. This interview is also the only source for his name and relation, he isn't ever named in the film itself unlike Uncle Tony in a deleted scene. Horvath and Jelenic probably forgot to update the niece into a cousin during the interview, leaving her relationship a contradictory mess.--[[User:Platform|Platform]] ([[User talk:Platform|talk]]) 10:04, December 11, 2024 (EST)

== The little kid in Mario's family a girl?! ==

The little kid in Mario's family is more like a boy to me, why? Because that kid wear hat backward, and she is naughty like other boys. Can you please give me proof of why she is a girl! [[User:NEMRISE1294|NEMRISE1294]] ([[User talk:NEMRISE1294|talk]]) 13:04, August 9, 2024 (EDT)

	:There's a source in the article,[https://www.polygon.com/23673074/mario-movie-family-members-dad-mom-uncles-aunt] by Polygon, that states that this character is a niece. The evidence you bring up is behavior and fashion choices that aren't confined to boys (girls can wear backward hats, girls can be naughty). I also don't see where she's being "naughty", she's just indifferent at worst. {{User:Mario/sig}} 16:59, August 9, 2024 (EDT)
