Mario and Luigi's family

This article is under construction. Therefore, please excuse its informal appearance while it is being worked on. We hope to have it completed at no given time.

Mario and Luigi's family is the extended family of Mario and Luigi's which has been seen and referenced numerous times throughout the many games, television shows, movies and comics that make up the Mario series. A good majority of the family members were only ever seen or referenced on The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!, particularly during the live-action segments. These are all the known members to appear in any official form of media.

Aunt Luigeena

Main article: Aunt Luigeena

Aunt Luigeena is an aunt of Mario and Luigi's who was only ever seen at the end of "Mama Mia Mario". Although her appearance was small, she came off as being a very bossy woman towards Mario. Given her name, there is a good chance that Luigi was named after her, much like Luigeena. Although never stated, it is likely that Aunt Luigeena is Mama Mario's sister, given their similar attitudes.

Aunt Maria

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.

Grandma Mario

Main article: Grandma Mario

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 duing "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 their apartment.

Grandma Mia

Grandma Mia as a grandmother of Mario and Luigi's who was only ever briefly mentioned during "The Fire of Hercufleas". Nothing is revealed about her, except that she made garlic chip cookies, the strength of which Mario compared to Hercufleas.

Grandpapa

Grandpapa is Mario and Luigi's paternal grandfather, who was mentioned by Mario once in the Super Mario Bros. movie. In the film, the Mario Bros. came from a long line of plumbers, and their tools had been passed down to them by their Papa, who had received them from Grandpapa. It is not revealed whether Grandpapa was the first plumber in the family, or if he was merely continuing the tradition.

During the segment, Luigeena and Marianne arrived at Mario Brothers Plumbing upon learning that Lyle Alzado was coming over for lunch. After flirting with Lyle for a while, Marianne sent Luigeena to look for Mario and Luigi, who had gone out to buy some groceries.

Mama Mario is the mother of Mario and Luigi. She has had a few minor appearances and mentions throughout the Mario series.

Marianne is one of Mario and Luigi's cousins, who is somewhat similar in appearance to Mario. Along with her sister Luigeena, Luigeena only ever appeared during "Marianne and Luigeena".

Accompanied by Luigeena, Marianne travelled to Mario Brothers Plumbing to meet up with Lyle Alzado, who was visiting Mario and Luigi for lunch. Since Mario and Luigi had left to buy groceries, Marianne and Luigeena flirted with Lyle for a while. Marianne eventually sent Luigeena to look for Mario and Luigi as an excuse to flirt with Lyle by herself, until Luigi came home and stopped her. Marianne then left to look for Luigeena and Mario, only to later return with her sister to announce that they were going to pursue Mel Gibson.

Marilyn is a wild niece of Mario and Luigi's, who is presumably related to them through her mother. She appeared during "Wild Thing", in which she invited several of her friends over to Mario Brothers Plumbing to party for a weekend without Mario and Luigi's consent. By the end of the segment, she and her friends left to party at her Uncle Troy's home in California.

Marilyn's mother

Marilyn's mother is the mother of Marilyn, who was briefly mentioned by her during "Wild Thing". As Marilyn is Mario and Luigi's niece, her mother would have to be either their sister, or the wife of a third Mario brother.

Mario Joe and Luigi Bob

Mario Joe and Luigi Bob are brothers and the bumpkin cousins of Mario and Luigi who appeared in "Mario Hillbillies". They are identical in appearance to Mario and Luigi, but come off as being rather dim and absent-minded.

In "Mario Hillbillies", Mario Joe and Luigi Bob arrived at Mario Brothers Plumbing to go on a fishing trip with their cousins, only to learn that they had left without them due to their tardiness. Waiting around for Mario and Luigi, Mario Joe and Luigi Bob met up with Ellie Mae, a potential customer of Mario and Luigi's who ultimately befriended their cousins.

Pauline and Mario.

Main article: Pauline

Pauline is Mario's niece according to The Saturday Supercade, despite other sources which state that she is actually his girlfriend. This concept caused the show to disregard the relationship Mario and Pauline had in Donkey Kong. The show also never stated as to how Pauline was related to Mario (Luigi was never mentioned).

Uncle Tony

Uncle Tony is the only confirmed uncle of Mario and Luigi's. He was briefly mentioned during "Glasnuts", and was described as a big eater by Mario, who feared that he would eat all of their pizza if he came to Mario Brothers Plumbing.

Uncle Troy

Uncle Troy is an uncle of Marilyn's who lives in California. His relationship to Mario and Luigi, if any, remains a mystery. As such, he may not even be a relative of theirs.
