Talk:Mario and Luigi's family

Cousins

Isn't Wario Luigi's cousin?Stanly the bugman should be mentioned too.User:mr bones

If Wario was Luigi's cousin, then, by extension, he'd also be Mario's cousin. However, this fact has not been confirmed in a main-series game. As far as I'm aware, it's never even been stated in a spin off. As for Stanley: what makes you think he's related to the Marios? Redstar 08:57, 2 January 2010 (EST)

I thought that he's his cousin.Here's what I saw in ign.com: Mario's frequently forgotten cousin Stanley was the bugspray-wielding exterminator in Donkey Kong 3. The story of that sequel was that DK had broken into Stanley's greenhouse and started causing trouble, and it was up to Stan the man to send the big ape packing with the power of potent pesticide.User:mr bones

They were being sarcastic. Hello, I'm Time Turner.

Name

Shouldn't this article be "Mario and Luigi's Family", with a capital F? Fawfulfury65

Only in case it's a proper name, which I don't think it is. Time Questions 19:04, 16 May 2010 (EDT)

Grandmothers

Shouldn't there be sections about Grandma and the unnamed grandmother? Weegie baby (talk) hour, day month, year

Mario and Luigi

Mario and Luigi should have their own sections. Weegie baby (talk) 09:55, November 13, 2024 (EST)

Possible relative of the Mario Bros.

The man in question

In The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! episode "Plummers Academy", a man similar in appearance to Mario and Luigi appears with them, wearing a white shirt with a purple tie, black pants, and brown shoes, who cheers with them as the President of the United States's motorcade drives by. Should this be mentioned in the article? Apikachu68 (talk) 14:23, December 12, 2024 (EST)

Interesting, but without proofs or confirmation, it's a mere coincidence, like the proto-Wario at the beginning of said episode. Mariuigi Khed 15:52, December 12, 2024 (EST)

FINALLY! YES!!!

I’ve found proof that Stanley’s Mario’s cousin. It’s in IGN. Here: https://www.ign.com/articles/2007/09/28/smash-it-up-from-the-trophy-case. See Stanley’s section. Weegie baby (talk) 18:20, January 1, 2025 (EST)

It's not really officially vetted, so I wouldn't consider this solid evidence, but I guess you can add an asterisk at the end of the article that IGN claims Stanley to be the Mario Bros.'s cousin, in a similar vein to how Prima Guide claims Toadette to be Toad's sister. It's me, Mario! (Talk / Stalk) 18:13, January 1, 2025 (EST)

What do you mean “asterisk”? You do that… Weegie baby (talk) 18:20, January 1, 2025 (EST)

Unlike Prima, IGN isn’t an official source from Nintendo though, is it? I don’t think this is worth any mention on the wiki as it’s just a gaming journalist projecting their own view online. — Lady Sophie ^(T|C) 21:04, January 1, 2025 (EST)

Probably just say they claimed this but there's no evidence outside of it. We should probably set the record for that in case this crops up again in the future. It's me, Mario! (Talk / Stalk) 01:12, January 2, 2025 (EST)

Honestly, it sounds more like not much as "cousin" like "family member", but more like "a member of the same franchise" (kinda like saying "Mario and Link are Shigeru's "children"." as in "creations" not actual biological kids), but I don't wanna open another parenthesis like we did with Talk:Mama Mario. BUT... thinking about it, wasn't there a Nintendo magazine that once claimed that Wario was considered Mario's cousin? I'm pretty sure it was also written on his page at one point (I also looked online for this, but outside from unsourced Reddit posts, I didn't find anything, so I can see why it was potentially removed). -- Mariuigi Khed 05:44, January 2, 2025 (EST)

Stanley

So, I found another website that said Stanley is Mario's cousin, though I don't know if it's official. You tell me: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1690724557/stanley-the-bugman-rare-mario-character.

That's an Etsy listing of a fanmade piece of merchandise. That is very much not official. ;P ~Camwoodstock (talk) 14:21, January 22, 2025 (EST)

Baby Luigi

LinkTheLefty pointed out that in a manga Baby Luigi was Mario and Peach’s son. Can we add him? Here is the link they used: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2g0uXcTF3mA&t=281s. Weegie baby (talk) 13:17, January 24, 2025 (EST)

It's worth a mention, but it was its own story (sort of like a parody in which cartoon characters play the roles of a fairy tale). Mariuigi Khed 14:04, January 24, 2025 (EST)

But can we add it to the article or not? Weegie baby (talk) 14:26, January 24, 2025 (EST)

OH, right: Mario and Luigi aren't in the page. Maybe in a trivia section, so we can also include the Peach of this continuity? Mariuigi Khed 14:29, January 24, 2025 (EST)

I actually wanted to add a trivia section since when I found that IGN article stating Stanley is Mario’s cousin, but I didn’t think that was enough for a trivia section. But now, I think we could add one. Weegie baby (talk) 14:39, January 24, 2025 (EST)

I've said this before in your family proposal, but I think it's not a good idea to blindly trust that IGN article you found. It's not an article that reports on official information, but rather an opinion piece speculating which Trophies in Melee could be seeing an upgrade in Brawl (and is thus not very verifiable as a source); even then, the "cousin" may be meant in a more metaphorical sense anyway (both Mario and Stanley have been protagonists in arcade Donkey Kong games where they had to duke against the titular ape, so they're kinda analogous to each other regardless of family relations). Actually, I'm not the only one who refuted the article you blindly believed, am I? rend (talk) (edits) 14:12, January 25, 2025 (EST)

Wario

I’ve found this link. Is it reliable? Here it is: https://www.facebook.com/yagodesignwrap/posts/bad-cousin-of-mad-mario-wario-wrapper-vollverklebtde-ihr-team-f%C3%BCr-folierung-und-/4829131913768347/ Weegie baby (talk) 13:29, January 25, 2025 (EST)

No. It's just some guy's custom design I think. Technetium (talk) 13:32, January 25, 2025 (EST)

I think they were referring to the wording of the Facebook post ("Bad Cousin of Mad Mario. Wario!") rather than the design of the car. However, I'd also say no to this, since the Facebook user Yagodesign is not officially associated with Nintendo in any way we know of. This means that the custom design for the car in said post is unofficial, as are the words in the very same post. And who the heck is Mad Mario, anyway? I don't remember Mario ever being called that.
@Weegie baby, may I advise you to stop looking for evidence at random Etsy products, random Facebook posts, or random articles; and instead look for evidence at official Nintendo websites, official Nintendo social media, official Nintendo manuals, and officially licensed guide books and magazines (see this for more info). rend (talk) (edits) 14:01, January 25, 2025 (EST)
