A '''list of implied species''' that have not physically appeared in any form of media up to this point in time Regardless of their lack of appearances, the implied species have been mentioned at least once throughout the ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' franchise.


==Business Bro.==
==''Donkey Kong Country'' television series==
'''Business Bros.''' are a type of [[Hammer Bro.]] whose existence is only implied in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. The only known Business Bro. is [[Hamma Jamma]]'s [[Hamma Jamma's Father|father]], although there are very likely several more.
===Interplanetary Visitor Dudes===
'''Interplantery Visitor Dudes''' are an alien-like species mentioned by [[Funky Kong]] in the [[Donkey Kong Country (television series)|''Donkey Kong Country'' television series]] episode "[[Watch the Skies]]." Funky explains the Interplanetary Visitor Dudes to [[Donkey Kong|DK]] and [[Diddy Kong|Diddy]] through a [[List of Donkey Kong Country (television series) songs#Interplanetary Visitor Dudes|song]].


Business Bros. seem to be the Hammer Bro. answer to the businessman. Therefore, it is assumed that Business Bros. lead a more laid back, controlled, and much less violent life in comparison to normal Hammer Bros. Also, as Hamma Jamma once told [[Mario]], dropping out of Hammer Bros. school to go to Business Bros. school (as his father did) is a responsible (yet, according to him, lame) act.
==''Mario & Luigi'' series==
===''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga''===
====Soybean civilization====
{{main|Soybean civilization}}
The Soybean civilization are described by [[Fava]]'s brother in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]''. They inhabited the [[Beanbean Kingdom]] before its current population, and were divided into several types.


==Centipede==
===''Mario & Luigi: Dream Team''===
'''Centipedes''' are a non-fictional species of anthropods referenced by [[Dr. Sheldon]] in ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!]]'' episode [[Jungle Fever]]. When Dr. Sheldon was mixing together ingredients for his [[Industrial Strength Itching Potion]], one of the ingredients he mentioned was four left legs from a right-handed centipede.
====Vegebrodies====
The '''Vegebrodies''' are a species mentioned in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]]''. They fought Muscle Lord Biceptius for unknown reasons.


==Donkey==
==''Paper Mario'' series==
{{redirectshere|Donkey|the ape character|[[Donkey Kong]]}}
===''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door''===
'''Donkeys''' are a non-fictional species of animal referenced in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]''. When [[Baby Bowser]] first saw [[Yoshi]], he asked whether he was a donkey and declared his desire to ride him as though he were one.
====Business Bro====
'''Business Bros.''' are a type of [[Hammer Bro]] whose existence is only implied in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. The only known Business Bro is [[Hamma, Bamma, and Flare#Hamma Jamma|Hamma Jamma]]'s [[List of implied characters#Hamma Jamma's father|father]].


==Ice ant==
As Hamma Jamma tells [[Mario]], dropping out of Hammer Bros. school to go to Business Bros. school (as his father did) is a responsible (yet, according to him, lame) act.
'''Ice ants''' are insects briefly mentioned by the giant [[Mr. Blizzard]] in [[Snowman's Land]] in ''[[Super Mario 64]]''. They are presumably ants that have adapted to living in cold environments. When Mario attempts to cross the bridge in front of the Mr. Blizzard, the snowman will mistake him for what he claims could be either an ice ant or a snow flea, and attempt to blow him away.


==Luff==
;Names in other languages
The '''Luffs''' once made up a great kingdom. Their tale is told in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', and, although they are never seen, they are integral to the deeper parts of [[Luigi]]'s ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'' adventure.

}}


The Luffs were responsible for the forging of the [[Marvelous Compass]], and they used its clairvoyant powers to take over the majority of the [[Mushroom World|world]]. However, they were very miserly, and the compass cursed them, destroying their empire. Hoping that this would not happen to other kingdoms, a Luff boy named [[Cranberry]] broke the Marvelous Compass into seven parts, hiding six and keeping one with him in [[Rapturous Ruins]], possibly ruins of a Luff establishment. After a thousand years of sleep, Cranberry would become the last of the Luffs, and even he disappeared when awoken by Luigi, a hero worthy of rebuilding the Marvelous Compass.
====Luff====
The '''Luffs''' are an ancient race mentioned in [[Luigi]]'s stories and the [[Super Luigi (series)|Super Luigi]] book series in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. Fitting with the food theme of Luigi's adventure, "Luff" may derive from "loaf" (as in a loaf of bread).


The Luffs' part in Luigi's story was not yet over, however. After making it to [[Hatesong Tower]], Luigi would soon hear the true intention of [[Minister Crepe]]: He had apparently always been planning to usurp the Marvelous Compass from Luigi's hands and reestablish the Luff Kingdom as his own. Luigi would not comply, and Crepe was soon defeated. The Luffian part in ''[[Mario (series)|Mario]]'' had ended.
The Luffs created the [[List of implied items#Marvelous Compass|Marvelous Compass]], which they used to create an empire that spanned much of the world. The Luffs were later cursed by the compass due to their greed, causing the Luff empire to fall into ruin. The survivors of the empire's collapse, including a Luff boy named [[List of implied characters#Cranberry|Cranberry]], split the compass into seven parts to prevent a repeat of their fate. Cranberry kept one of the pieces and went to sleep in the [[List of implied locations#Rapturous Ruins|Rapturous Ruins]] for 1,000 years, left as the last of his people, until he was awoken by Luigi; he disappeared after giving Luigi his piece of the compass and telling the story of his people.


==Mosquito==
While the Luffs are not mentioned again after Cranberry's disappearance in Luigi's account of his adventure, Super Luigi 5 tells that the villainous [[List of implied characters#Minister Crepe|Minister Crepe]] intended to allow the Luff empire to rule again using the Marvelous Compass. Being defeated by Luigi shortly after revealing his intentions, Crepe did not succeed in accomplishing this.
'''Mosquitoes''' are a non-fictional species of flying insects that suck the blood of larger organisms, such as [[human]]s, to feed their young. Humans often get "mosquito bites," or itchy, inflamed bumps. [[Luigi]] referenced them in ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!]]'' episode "[[Jungle Fever]]," implying their existence on either [[Earth]] or [[Mushroom World]].


==RecordoMeow==  
;Names in other languages
The '''RecordoMeows''' are implied creatures seemingly found in [[Fort Francis]]. They are only mentioned in Chapters 3-1 and 3-4 of ''[[Super Paper Mario]]''; they are presumed to be [[PatrolMeow]]-style kitten robots that are known to record [[Francis]]' beloved television programs.

==Sea turtles==
===''Super Paper Mario''===
'''Sea turtles''' were mentioned in the ''[[Super Mario Bros. (film)|Super Mario Bros.]]'' film when [[Luigi]] was driving with [[Mario]] to a [[plumber|plumbing]] job. When Luigi made a right turn instead of a left based on his feelings, much to Mario's annoyance, he justified his decision by saying he had read that seas turtles navigate thousands of miles on instinct. Mario retorted that they did not do that in Brooklyn traffic.
====Recordomeow====
The '''Recordomeows''' are implied creatures seemingly found in [[Fort Francis]]. They are only mentioned in Chapters 3-1 and 3-4 of ''[[Super Paper Mario]]''. They apparently record [[Francis]]'s TV shows while he is away.


==Snow flea==
===''Paper Mario: Sticker Star''===
'''Snow fleas''' are insects briefly mentioned by the giant [[Mr. Blizzard]] in [[Snowman's Land]] in ''[[Super Mario 64]]''. Nothing is known about them, except that they are presumably fleas that can adapt to cold temperatures. When Mario attempts to cross the bridge in front of the Mr. Blizzard, the snowman will mistake him for what he claims could be either an ice ant or a snow flea, and attempt to blow him away.
====Ancient Stickerish====
The '''Ancient Stickerish''' people are mentioned in ''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]]''. In [[the Enigmansion]], one text on a bookshelf reads "PAPERABBLESTICKEROBBLE DERRSTICKER STICKARONISTICK PAPERDAPERDOOPER STICKITYSTICKITYSTICKITY PAPEROOSKI PAPERDOODLE STICKERPAPERRAWK." [[Kersti]] claims to have not studied Ancient Stickerish since high school, and flunked her Ancient Stickerish class. However, she manages to translate it as "an ancient prophecy that fell from the Sticker Comet" that reads "The five lights...then the truth shall be revealed!"


== Soybean Civilization ==
;Names in other languages
The '''Soybean Civilization''', whose people have also been collectively referred to as the "'''Soybeans'''", was an ancient civilization that once inhabited the [[Beanbean Kingdom]]. Most of the Soybeans' past (and even their existence, which is only verified by the [[Beanstone]]s and other remnants) is an enigma, and they were only hinted at in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]''. Even hearing about the Soybean Civilization is completely optional for the Mario Bros., but they can do so by talking to [[Fava]]'s brother (who describes himself as a great intellect) in [[Beanbean Castle Town]], unless the town is under attack by [[Cackletta]]. If they do so, he will inform them that he is currently most interested in studying the Soybean Civilization and will ask [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] if they wish to hear a report on it. If they answer "Yes", then he will begin speaking of the civilization, revealing much about it.
{{foreign names
|Spa= Pegatinés antiguo
|SpaM= Old Stickerese
}}


Apparently, the Soybean Civilization coexisted with (or possibly included) at least three [[Beanish]] subspecies: spin-beans (who had the ability of flight, likely a reference to the [[Spin Jump]]), mole-beans (who, like any other type of mole, could dig through the ground), and dash-beans (who could move at super speeds, hence their name). According to the intellect, the Soybeans may have also very well lived in the Beanbean Kingdom (or maybe even Beanbean Castle Town itself), although the only possible proof of this would be the location of the ten Beanstones, the civilization's buried treasures, in the town. The Mario Brothers could then accept the man's challenge of locating these underground gems, and he would finally reveal that the Soybeans were extremely short; as such, only Mario's crushed form could find the otherwise invisible Beanstones. (When the small Mario stood on one of the invisible pits in which the gems were placed, an exclamation point would appear above his head and, if ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga'' was being played on a [[Game Boy Player]], the [[Nintendo GameCube|GameCube]] controller would rumble.)
===''Paper Mario: Color Splash''===
 
====Soakit====
Afterwards, a [[Little Fungitown]] NPC would state that the lift platform from [[Teehee Valley]] to Little Fungitown was built by the people of the Soybean Civilization; interestingly, the design of this platform (which sported many fancy [[Mushroom]]s) may suggest that the Soybeans had some connection to the [[Toad (species)|Toads]]. These were the only mentions of the great and ancient civilization, and, even when Mario and Luigi found the Beanstones and took them to Fava's aforementioned brother (who rewarded them with a Bros. Rock [[badge]]), he would only claim that he would announce his hypothesis on the civilization and take no further action in-game. Finally, it may be worth noting that, while references to the Soybean Civilization are rare in ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga'', the invisible pits in which the Beanstones are stored (as well as the strange reactions they trigger in short people) were actually spoken of in one of the many books belonging to a separate character in Beanbean Castle Town.
'''Soakits''' are a variant of [[Snifit]]s. In the hot springs of [[Redpepper Crater]] in ''[[Paper Mario: Color Splash]]'', two Snifits say that they are "converting to Soakits" instead of being Snifits.
 
=== Trivia ===
* The Soybeans' name simply comes from the [[Wikipedia:soybean|soybean]], a type of legume which is actually classified differently than the standard [[bean]].
* When Fava's brother talks about the Soybean Civilization, he refers to it as the less-proper "'''Soybean civilization'''"; however, the Little Fungitown character calls it the capitalized "Soybean Civilization".
* When Mario's small form steps over a place where a [[Bean Fruit]] or [[Chuckle Bean]] is buried, he will once again get the same exclamation point over his head as if he was standing above a Beanstone; it is therefore possible that the Soybean Civilization is also responsible for burying some of the Beanbean Kingdom's other buried treasures.

Luff[edit]

The Luffs are an ancient race mentioned in Luigi's stories and the Super Luigi book series in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. Fitting with the food theme of Luigi's adventure, "Luff" may derive from "loaf" (as in a loaf of bread).

The Luffs created the Marvelous Compass, which they used to create an empire that spanned much of the world. The Luffs were later cursed by the compass due to their greed, causing the Luff empire to fall into ruin. The survivors of the empire's collapse, including a Luff boy named Cranberry, split the compass into seven parts to prevent a repeat of their fate. Cranberry kept one of the pieces and went to sleep in the Rapturous Ruins for 1,000 years, left as the last of his people, until he was awoken by Luigi; he disappeared after giving Luigi his piece of the compass and telling the story of his people.

While the Luffs are not mentioned again after Cranberry's disappearance in Luigi's account of his adventure, Super Luigi 5 tells that the villainous Minister Crepe intended to allow the Luff empire to rule again using the Marvelous Compass. Being defeated by Luigi shortly after revealing his intentions, Crepe did not succeed in accomplishing this.
