List of implied characters

The List of Implied Characters is a list of characters and fictional fictional characters that have not physically appeared in any form of media up to this point in time. Regardless of their lack of appearance, the implied characters have been mentioned at least once throughout the Mario series. For a list of non-fictional people who have been referenced throughout the series, please see the List of Implied People.

5-Volt

5-Volt is 9-Volt's mother, she never appeared in the WarioWare games. Although she is never actually seen in any games, she is mentioned a few times by her son. She has a pet Fronk which was given the name Shaggy. She is assumed to be human like her son. She was somewhat seen for the first time in WarioWare: Touched!, as a sillouette at the end of 9-Volt's stage.

Aunt Maria

Aunt Maria is an aunt of Mario and Luigi's who was briefly mentioned by Luigi in The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3 episode "Crimes R Us". While Mario and Luigi were looking at clouds, Luigi commented that one of them resembled their Aunt Maria. However, the cloud looked nothing like a human.

An Aunt Maria was also mentioned in the book Doors to Doom, where Donkey Kong Jr.'s yell is compared to a cross between Tarzan's ululation and the screech Aunt Maria makes when the Mario Bros. walk on her newly waxed floor.

Bachelor's girlfriend

Bachelor's girlfriend is the unseen love interest of Bachelor in the Game Boy Advance version of Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!. Little is revealed about the character, except that Bachelor implies that she is hot, and is currently dating her. Like Bachelor, she is presumably a bear herself.

Big Bama

Big Bama is a wrestler that Wario mentions in Wario Land 4. Big Bama is one of Wario's favorite Pro Wrestlers along with Neutron B.

Big Bird

Big Bird is a tall, yellow bird who is a character on the TV show Sesame Street. Being a large bird himself, Prince Hugo the Huge's Parrot is a fan of Big Bird, and claims to keep a poster of him somewhere in his cage.

Bog Monster

The Bog Monster is an apparently horrific creature that, according to Klump, eats everything in sight. They reside in the Forbidden Forest on Kongo Bongo Island in the Donkey Kong Country cartoon. As they are never seen, the only physical description given is in the lyrics to one of the songs in the episode, in which it's described as a monster having crystal skin, giant claws, dripping fangs, beady red eyes, stinky breath that could knock over a rhino, hair full of maggots, ears dripping something yellow, and arms thicker than a tree. Of course, this is when Donkey Kong saw it and that was Cranky Kong disguised as a Bog Monster, so there's no way of telling if this is an accurate description.

In the Donkey Kong Country episode "Bug A Boogie", it is revealed that Donkey Kong secretly feared the Bog Monster, as, when he was young, Cranky Kong told him that if he ventured into the Forbidden Forest, the Bog Monster would get him; one day, Donkey Kong disobeyed Cranky Kong and decided to go into the Forbidden Forest, only to encounter and subsequently be scared by a Bog Monster. It is later revealed to Donkey Kong by Cranky Kong that he had, in actuality, simply made up the story of the Bog Monster, and that it was him who scared Donkey Kong when he entered the Forbidden Forest, wanting to teach Donkey Kong a lesson in disobeying him.

Oddly, it seems the Bog Monster may have been an actual creature, as, at the end of "Bug A Boogie", Klump and Krusha, while trying to help King K. Rool out of a pit of quicksand he was stuck in, hear a monstrous roar in the Forbidden Forest, seemingly the Bog Monster.

Diddy Kong also has the unique talent of mimicking the roar of one.

Bobolink

“I want to marry Bobolink in a shocker wedding.”

—Swob, Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door

Bobolink is a female Bob-omb with whom Swob was in love with. During this period of his life, Swob wrote, "I want to marry Bobolink in a shocker wedding," on a rock on the fiftieth floor of Rogueport's Pit of 100 Trials. He also wrote that he wanted to have 22 children, so his family could play football matches.

During the events of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, he believed that any wish written on the fiftieth floor of the Pit would come true. He used a "special big explosion" to get down to the fiftieth floor, and wrote the graffiti so fiercely that it would be almost impossible to remove. When he found out that this was a hoax, he filed a request at the Trouble Center. Mario accepted the trouble and had Bobbery destroy the wall after reading the wish.

A large number of unnamed Bob-ombs live in Fahr Outpost, but no evidence given indicates that Bobolink was one of them. Furthermore, no evidence implies that Bobolink and Swob married. However, the only indication that they did not marry is that Swob was bothered by the existence of the graffiti.

Bowser's father

Bowser's father is the father of King Bowser Koopa who was briefly mentioned by him in the Nintendo Comics System issues "Bedtime for Drain-Head" and "The Buddy System". As Bowser's father is only mentioned in passing, not much is known about him; though he is implied to be a criminal on the run, as Bowser tells the captured Toad that he hopes to see his father on the television program "Kingdom's Most Wanted", which is seemingly a parody of America's Most Wanted, a show dedicated in helping catch criminals. It is possible by now that he looks much like Dry Bowser.

Additionally, Bowser also mentioned that his father was the one who taught him the life lesson "'Son, when you put your mind to it, there's no problem big enough to run away from!". It is possible his name is Morton Koopa, which is where his grandson, Morton Koopa Jr., got his name. Mama Koopa is another non-game character who could have been married to Bowser's father. Poopa La Koopa is his implied father, as he is Bowser's grandfather. Alternatively, Poopa La Koopa could be his maternal grandfather.

Bowser's sister

Bowser's sister is one of Bowser's family members. She is Bowser's sister and the aunt to the Koopalings. She is only mentioned in the song Ignorance is Bliss. Bowser mentions that Princess Toadstool reminds him of her sister but does not reference her by name. Bowser claims that his sister's reading habits gave her a blister on her brain.

Since she only has one mention, little is known about her, besides the following facts:

• She is older than Bowser ("You remind me of my teen sister").
• She enjoys reading ("She read so much, she got a blister").
• Bowser thinks lowly of her ("What a shnook!").

Breadward

Breadward is a Pixl that was mentioned by Mimi in the game Super Paper Mario. Not much is known about Breadward, except that he is made out of oats and lard. It is unknown what ability Breadward possesses, or if he even exists, as Mimi may have just been lying or kidding when mentioning Breadward. Breadward is mentioned when Mimi (disguised as Merlee) attempts to swindle Mario into signing a paper and earning the Pure Heart in exchange for some Rubees. If Mario refuses to sign the paper four times, she offers Breadward to him.

Britney

Britney is the lead female character in Toad Force V, an implied action TV show mentioned several times in Mario Party Advance; Britney herself is only brought up briefly by Mushbert in the mission DVD For Me.

Once of the few things known about Britney is that she surpasses the hero of Toad Force V, Jack, in popularity among the show's fanbase, presumably making her the most popular character in the series. She is Jack's sidekick, and together they are the only known members of the Toad Force V group of protagonists. It is possible that she, like many other characters on the show, is a robotic Toad, but this is theoretical as she is simply identified as a "Heroine", and nothing more.

Buzzo

Buzzo is a character that is mentioned twice in Super Paper Mario. Both Laki and Koopla say they are in love with Buzzo.

The Cap'n

The Cap'n is a character that is mentioned in Super Mario 64. It is implied that the character is actually a Captain that once lived in Jolly Roger Bay with his ship until his ship sank into the deep bottom.

When Mario attempts to get the third Power Star in Jolly Roger Bay, Mario has to swim down into the ocean and get into the hole in the ocean to get into the dangerous cave. When Mario attempts to cross all over the way into the very end of the cave, he mentions that anyone that enters the cave will obtain certain trouble. Mario curiously passes the obstacles as he will find four Treasure Chests at the end of the cave. When Mario reads a Sign near to the four Treasure Chests; The Cap'n was mentioned in the sign as he mentions that he hid the Power Star in one of the treasures. He also mentions that to get it, Mario must open the Treasure Chests in the right order; but The Cap'n will not tell. The player can figure out how to get the Power Star by opening the Treasure Chests in order by size.

As the word "cap'n" is simply short for "captain", it has been used in other Mario games; an example of this is Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, where the captain of the S.S. Chuckola is referred to as "Cap'n" in one line of dialogue.

Chief Quimby

Chief Quimby is the chief of the Metro City police department. He regularly sends Inspector Gadget out on missions to stop Dr. Claw and his MAD Agents from pulling off evil schemes.

Chief Quimby, who was only ever referred to as "The Chief", had a minor role on The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!, in the live-action segment "Defective Gadgetry". In it, he called Inspector Gadget on his top-secret gadget phone, and asked when Inspector Gadget would be coming over. As Inspector Gadget was awaiting repairs at Mario Brothers Plumbing, he told the Chief that he would be on his way as soon as Mario and Luigi repaired his gadgets.

Despite his prominence in the Inspector Gadget series, Chief Quimby's role in the Mario series is very limited, for he does not make an onscreen appearance, and is never referred to by his full name.

Clawdia Koopa

Clawdia Koopa is a character that is mentioned in one issue of Nintendo Power UK. Nothing is known of her except her name and that she is or was the wife of Bowser. She is unlikely to exist for many reasons, being most likely a joke. One of these reasons is that Bowser Jr. does not remember her, as he was tricked in Super Mario Sunshine into believing that Princess Peach was his mother (although she could have died while Bowser Jr. was too young to remember). Another reason is that Bowser is "married" to Princess Peach in Super Paper Mario by Count Bleck. Bowser considers the marriage legitimate, implying he does not have another wife, although he could be a polygamist.

Confucius

Confucius was a famous Chinese philosopher who was mentioned in the Donkey Kong Country animated series episode "Kong Fu" by Kong Fu in a song. Confucius was the one who taught Kong Fu that "The mind must be as sharp as a wisdom toad."

Confucius was spoofed in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars through the character Frogfucius.

Clowny the Clown

Clowny the Clown is a clown mentioned is in Wario: Master of Disguise. He is very kind and charming, and is considered to be the only clown that is not scary. As a result, he has gained such great popularity that he gives out his autograph to fans. His autograph is even worth a very large amount of money, because of his popularity.

Cranky Kong's great-grandfather

Cranky Kong's great-grandfather is a great-grandfather of Cranky Kong's, who was briefly mentioned by Bazaar in Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!. Due to Cranky's old age, it can be assumed that his great-grandfather died a long time ago.

When Dixie or Kiddy Kong inquire about the Mirror that Bazaar is selling for fifty Bear Coins, Bazaar will mention that it belonged to Cranky Kong's great-grandfather, and that he can't let it go for a lower price, for it is an antique. Aside from this, no mention of Cranky's great-grandfather has ever been made, meaning that whether or not the great-grandfather was maternal or paternal is unknown.

Daisy's father

Daisy's Father is mentioned briefly in the Mario Party 3 story mode. Once the player defeats her and wins the beauty stamp, she will run off while shouting, "Augh! I don't believe this! I've never lost--not even to my dad!". This mention of Daisy's father is the only hint to any other rulers of Sarasaland.

Dark Dirk

Dark Dirk is mentioned as the evil twin and mortal enemy of the superhero Dirk Drain-Head. Since Dirk Drain-Head looks identical to Luigi, Dark Dirk may bear resemblance to Waluigi.

Dark Mage

The Dark Mage is a character mentioned in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars. He resides in the dimension of Vanda, and appears to have great power in that dimension, seeing that one of his servants is one of the most powerful bosses in the game, Culex. The Dark Mage was the one who sent the Dark Knight Culex to Mario's universe, specifically the Mushroom World. The Dark Mage ordered Culex to fight on his behalf, possibly with the intent of conquering Mario's world and even his entire universe. However, Culex discovered that Mario's dimension was uninhabitable to people like Culex and others of his kind, presumably including the Dark Mage as well. As a result, whatever plans the Dark Mage had for the Mushroom World were suspended indefinitely.

The Dark Mage, like Culex himself, serves as one of many allusions to the Final Fantasy series in Super Mario RPG. The Dark Mage is possibly related to the Black Mage class that has appeared in the Final Fantasy series and the Mario-Final Fantasy crossover game Mario Hoops 3-on-3. The Final Fantasy series, Super Mario RPG, and Mario Hoops 3-on-3 were all developed by Square-Enix.

DJ Toad

DJ Toad is a character briefly mentioned in Paper Mario when looking behind the board in front of Merlon's house. He works for the FM Shroom.

Dr. Claw

Dr. Claw is Inspector Gadget's arch-nemesis, who appears constantly throughout the Inspector Gadget series. Although Dr. Claw never made an actual appearance in the Mario series, he was briefly mentioned by Inspector Gadget during The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! live-action segment "Defective Gadgetry". When Mario and Luigi failed to properly repair Inspector Gadget's gadgets, he got the wrong impression and asked them how long they had been working for the evil Dr. Claw.

Fluffy

Fluffy was Wario's pet hamster who died from neglect in the year 1986, as explained in a Wario's Warehouse article. Fluffy shares the name with a Lakitu's Cloud called Fluffy from a Mario comic.

Grandma Mia

Grandma Mia is a grandmother to Mario and Luigi, who was briefly mentioned by Mario in The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! episode "The Fire of Hercufleas". After Mario and his friends had helped train the obese Hercufleas back into shape, Mario remarked that Hercufleas was even stronger than his Grandma Mia's garlic chip cookies. This was the only time that Grandma Mia was ever mentioned, and no other information about her is known, including whether she is Mario and Luigi's maternal or paternal grandmother. Grandma Mia may even be another name for Grandma Mario, as Mama Mario is often referred to as "Mama Mia" by Mario and Luigi.

Other Possible Mentions

The following sources did not clarify as to whether or not they concerned Grandma Mia or Grandma Mario.

In the Nintendo Comics System story "Vote Mario for Man of the Year", when telling Toad about his secret pasta recipe, Mario mentions that "only Luigi, Grandma, and me know it!".

In the Club Nintendo comic "Super Mario Klemp-Won-Do: Muskeln sind nicht alles!", a grandmother of Mario's is mentioned by the narrator. Mario fought against Blanka, and defeated him by throwing Bananas into the ring, making Blanka slip and fall. It is said that even Mario's grandmother used to advise against keeping banana peels lying on the ground, and that it's "good that Mario never listened to her."

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.

Hamma Jamma's father

Hamma Jamma's father is the father of Hamma Jamma who is mentioned twice in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. He is notable for being the only known Business Bro., a possibly rare Hammer Bro. sub-species.

Little is known about Hamma Jamma's father, other than the fact that he is one of Hamma Jamma's many family members whom he left to join the Glitz Pit. Unlike Hamma Jamma's beloved grandfather, references to him are very rare. Hamma Jamma's first mention of him states that he dropped out of Hammer Bros. school, choosing to enroll in Business Bros. school. This act, possibly strange among belligerent Hammer Bros., seems to have embarrassed and confused his son. The last mention of him, however, seems to suggest that Hamma Jamma may still love his father: When referring to his dad this time, Hamma says that he's actually attending his fight that day (which could mean that he appeared in the audience during one of Mario's fights), and he wishes to win and impress him.

Hamma Jamma's grandfather

Hamma Jamma's grandfather is a Hammer Bro. of unknown name, brought up by his grandson several times in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. Quite cleverly on Nintendo's part, he actually first appeared as an unknown Hammer Bro. in Super Mario Bros.

Hamma Jamma's grandfather actually never appears in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, and may even be dead. However, as stated above, he earned several mentions in that game. These mentions are all the product of his grandson Hamma Jamma's ramblings. Hamma Jamma, a fighter in the Glitz Pit and member of the Hamma, Bamma, and Flare team, continually cites his grandfather as his inspiration. Apparently, his grandpa once owned his beloved hammer, and is one of Hamma's several family members he left behind to pursue a career in fighting.

However, as aforementioned, Hamma Jamma's grandfather may have in fact appeared in a Mario game of old (Super Mario Bros.). This is confirmed by Hamma Jamma's statement of "World 7-1" being his grandfather's "'hood". This is commonly taken as a clever reference to Super Mario Bros., which features a World 7-1 stage filled with Hammer Bros. It is unknown how well Hamma Jamma's grandfather fared during Mario's conquest of World 7-1, or if he still works for the Koopa Troop (if he is even still alive). Ironically, if he is dead, he would now be in the Underwhere, which is chapter 7-1 of Super Paper Mario.

Iron Adonis Twins' mother

The Iron Adonis Twins' mother, referred to as "Mom" by the twins, was referenced in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. Grubba lied to the twins that Mario had said outie belly buttons run in their family. They were shocked that Mario would have known about their mother's belly button.

James

"James" redirects here. For information about the voice actor Kenny James, see here. For information about The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! character King James, see here.

James is apparently the greatest thief who ever lived. He was mentioned in the enemy glossary of Wario: Master of Disguise. Although he steals well, he isn't very good at the "escaping" part. James has deceased, and his soul is inside the Sir Steal-A-Lot.

Kaptain Skurvy's father

Kaptain Skurvy's father is the unnamed father of Kaptain Skurvy. Little is known about him, except that he was a pirate, much akin to the rest of his family. When Kaptain Skurvy was a young man, his father told him legends of his great-great-great grandpappy, Prince Skurvy.

King K. Rool's mother

''King K. Rool's mother was mentioned in Donkey Kong Country episode "The Big Switch-A-Roo", while K. Rool was baking muffins. According to himself, that was his mother's recipe that he was using to make them.

King Koopa's great-great grandkoop

King Koopa's great-great grandkoop is King Koopa's great-great grandfather. He was mentioned in The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! episode "Raiders of the Lost Mushroom" by King Koopa (or Kolonel von Koop, as he was called throughout the episode), who explained that his great-great grandkoop left the Lost Mushroom to him, so it was rightfully his property. Indiana Joe later made a reference to King Koopa's great-great Grandkoop, stating that he was the one who built the Temple of Koopa, presumably to hide the Lost Mushroom. King Koopa's great-great Grandkoop is paternal is confirmed.

King Mousta

King Mousta was the king of Dry Dry Kingdom. He is only mentioned in the game Paper Mario by a Dryite in Dry Dry Outpost. King Mousta is probably arleady dead, since King Mousta's kingdom, the Dry Dry Kingdom got destroyed. King Mousta's name is very similar to Moustafa's name, and it is possible that King Mousta was an ancestor of Moustafa.

King Mushroomkhamen

King Mushroomkhamen was, at one point, the ruler of Desert Land. He is the husband of Queen Mushroomkhamen, and the father of Prince Mushroomkhamen. He was briefly mentioned by his wife in The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3 episode "Mind Your Mummy Mommy, Mario".

According to Queen Mushroomkhamen, Luigi looks just like King Mushroomkhamen. Because of this, Queen Mushroomkhamen fell in love with Luigi, much like she did with King Mushroomkhamen.

The current whereabouts of King Mushroomkhamen are unknown, as neither he nor even his mummy case were confirmed to be in his family's tomb.

The Koopalings' great grand-Koopa mama

The Koopalings' great grand-Koopa mama is a supposed great grandmother of the Koopalings. She was only ever mentioned during the events of "Do the Koopa", in which Big Mouth Koopa Jr. brought up the story of his favorite string to Bully and Cheatsy. Although the story started off with Big Mouth speaking of their great grand-Koopa mama, Bully cut him off before he could go any further.

If the Koopaling's great grand-Koopa mama is indeed their great grandmother, she would therefore be a grandmother of Bowser's, and may also be the wife of Poopa La Koopa.

Koopla

Koopla is a character mentioned in Super Paper Mario. She is mentioned in two of the graffiti in the bathroom of Merlee's Mansion. She is loved by Laki and returns his love. She also loves Buzzo.

Krusha's mother

Krusha's mother was briefly mentioned by Krusha in the Donkey Kong animated series episode "Cranky's Tickle Tonic." In the episode, Diddy Kong accidentally woke up the sleeping Krusha while trying to retrieve the Crystal Coconut. In this grogginess, Krusha asked his mother to let him sleep longer. Realizing that it was Diddy and not his mother who had woken him up, Krusha was shocked. Diddy put on a high voice and attempted to trick Krusha, who asserted that Diddy was not his mother. Krusha refers to his mother as "mommy."

Leonardo DiAprio

Leonardo DiAprio is a character that was briefly mentioned by Candy Kong in the Donkey Kong Country animated series episode, "Hooray for Holly-Kongo Bongo". Apparently, he was a famous actor, and Candy was often seen fantasizing about him (making Donkey Kong jealous in the process). His name is most likely a pun on Leonardo DiCaprio.

Mailman

The Mailman was Mario and Luigi's mailman while they operated Mario Brothers Plumbing in Brooklyn. Mario mentioned him in passing in "Neatness Counts" after Luigi apologized to Nicole Eggert for dirtying her clothes, hair, and skin. Luigi said, "Oh, Nicole, I'm so sorry. This never, EVER happened before." Mario responded, "Oh, yeah? What about the time we drenched the mailman?"

Marilyn's mother

Marilyn's mother was mentioned by Marilyn in the "Wild Thing" episode of The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!. The episode suggests that Marilyn, the niece of Mario and Luigi, is related to the Mario Bros. via her mother, meaning that Marilyn's mother would be Mario and Luigi's sister. However, it is possible that Marilyn's mother married into the Mario family, which would mean there is a third Mario brother.

Mel Gibson

Marianne and Luigeena went to stalk him after cancelling their date with Lyle Alzado

Moldy

Moldy is the father of Toad, and the son of Gramps, who was briefly referenced by the two of them The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! episode "Escape from Koopatraz". As Moldy was only mentioned in passing by Toad and Gramps, there is no real information known about him.

Mold is a food-ruining fungus, regarded as harmful by most. As Toads in general are already based on fungi (in their case, mushrooms), the name Moldy is an obvious reference to this fungus (to be "moldy" is to be covered in mold).

Mr. Shwect

Mr. Shwect is a tenant living in same building that Mario Brothers Plumbing is located in. He lives in apartment 3A. Little is revealed about him, except that Luigi implied that he was crazy. He was only mentioned briefly during "The Great Hereafter".

Neutron B

Neutron B is a wrestler mention in the instruction booklet for the game Wario Land 4. Neutron B is stated to be one of Wario's favorite pro wrestlers along with Big Bama.

Noki King

The Noki King is a character briefly mentioned in Super Mario Sunshine by a Noki in Noki Bay. The Noki King apparently ruled over Noki Bay an undisclosed time ago and his ancient tomb, housing multiple treasures, can be found there.

Old Man Skoo

Old Man Skoo was a person briefly mentioned in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. He was allegedly swallowed up by Hooktail. Mario hears this from a Koopa in the east most house in Petalburg: "I heard Hooktail recently lunched on Old Man Skoo two villages over." It was never established in the game whether this was confirmed, or a rumor. If he was killed before Mario defeated Hooktail or escaped after the dragons defeat will never be known. It is also unknown what his species was.

Old McDonald

Old McDonald is a famous farmer, best known through the song "Old McDoanld Had a Farm". When Luigi developed Veggieitis during the events of "Flower Power", Mario called Old McDonld's farm in hope that Old McDonald himself would be able to help them. However, when Young McDonald, the son of Old McDonald, arrived at Mario Brothers Plumbing instead, he explained that his father had gone to a tater convention and left him in charge of the farm.

Pee-wee Herman

Pee-wee Herman is a comedic fictional character created and portrayed by American Comedian Paul Reubens. In The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! episode "Rolling Down the River", when Princess Toadstool expresses surprise at how Toad was thrown in her cell, he responds with, "Who did you expect? Pee-wee Herman?"

Pengwen

Pengwen is Penguin's girlfriend mentioned in Mario Party Advance. In Shroom City's Ice Game Room, Penguin wants to propose to Pengwen, but could not afford a ring. He lost everything he had on the game Drop 'em; but with the help of either Mario, Luigi, Peach, or Yoshi, Penguin managed to get back his earnings and announced that he and Pengwen were finally able to get married. However, the game's epilogue stated that Penguin was still unable to afford a ring.

Pengwen's name is a portmanteau of "Penguin" and the female name, "Gwen". It should also be noted that "Pengwen" and "Penguin" are homophones.

Pixl Queen

The Pixl Queen is an unseen Pixl spoken of in Super Paper Mario. This rebellious Pixl is only talked about in four of Carson's stories, though quite a bit is revealed about her in these.

Despite the fact that the Pixl Queen was the first Pixl ever created, she seemed to stay largely quiet for what is thought to be 1,000 years after the creation of the Pixls 3,000 years before the setting of Super Paper Mario. However, seemingly long after the passing of her creator (the powerful magician who invented the process of Pixl-making), the Pixl Queen (then of an unknown name) finally rose into power, renaming herself with her only known name of "Pixl Queen." She then began to use her powers of mind control to manipulate all Pixls, causing them to eventually enslave most of the Tribe of Ancients (who were ironically once their masters) in her name. However, the owners of the magician's twelve original Pixl creations managed to somehow escape this Pixl Uprising and started to fight against the rebellious Pixls, containing them within Catch Cards and healing them. In the end, only one of these heroic Ancients survived, and he traveled with only his Pixl friends to the Pixl Queen's castle. Once he arrived at the stronghold, he confronted the dark Pixl Queen herself, who immediately hid from the hero and shot a barrage of disturbing images to his mind telepathically. Although this greatly weakened the Ancient hero, one of his Pixls helped him through the tragedy and ended up defeating the Pixl Queen itself, although it was destroyed in the process of doing so. Afterwards, it was shockingly revealed to the hero who owned the Pixl that the Pixl Queen was the first created of the Pixls (perhaps created even earlier than the magician's so-called "original" twelve Pixls) and that the magician's motives for creating her involved the study of the Dark Prognosticus. The Ancient survivor, attempting to stop such a tragedy as the Pixl Uprising from ever happening again, then took the Dark Prognosticus with himself to unknown parts, likely founding the Tribe of Darkness known to once have possessed the dark book. Afterwards, the Pixl Queen's mutinous efforts led to the fall of the Tribe of Ancients and the outlawing of Pixl creation.

Though these are the only know actions of the seemingly late Pixl Queen, more is indeed known about the Pixl herself. Although the spirit united with the Pixl vessel that formed the Pixl Queen had previously been described as "demonic," Carson later stated that a certain one of the Pixl-creating magician's books revealed that the Pixl Queen's spirit was actually derived from a human rather than a demon. It was on this principle that Carson theorized that the Pixl Queen's spirit may have been that of the magician's own daughter (who did indeed get a Game Over during her father's life due to a deathly illness), although he later seemed to have disproved this theory in his statement that Pixls' spirits cannot be derived from Game Overed people. It is also possible that Mario, Peach, Bowser, and Luigi did indeed meet the Pixl Queen in some form on their adventure; it is apparently possible that Mimi is a Pixl and she, like the Pixl Queen, is both female and evil. It is also a (perhaps more likely) possibility that Shadoo is some sort of revived form of the Pixl Queen, as Shadoo is also a rebellious creation of the Ancients who speaks of once using the power of the Pixls to get revenge on his/her Ancient creators. It is also unknown if the Pixl Queen had any helpful ability, although she was indeed able to control all Pixls and used the power of telepathy in her battle against the Ancient survivor, making these possible ability candidates.

Poopa La Koopa

Poopa La Koopa is the grandfather of King Koopa who was briefly mentioned by him in The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! episode "Butch Mario & the Luigi Kid".

As Poopa La Koopa is only mentioned in passing by King Koopa, nothing is really known about him, though he seems to be as bad as King Koopa, being said to be a cheater and liar (his motto being "Cheat, beat an' be merry!"). Poopa La Koopa is Bowser's parental grandfather. Template:Start box New succession box Predecessor = Unknown Title = Leader of the Koopa Troop Successor = Bowser's Father

Prince Skurvy

Prince Skurvy is great-great-great grandfather of Kaptain Skurvy. According to Kaptain Skurvy's father, Prince Skurvy was a fierce pirate who ruled the seven seas. He was said to have discovered the Crystal Coconut and, not knowing of its powers, hid it within Inka Dinka Doo. Many years later the eye of Inka Dinka Doo shed the Crystal Coconut as if it were a tear, only to be discovered by Donkey Kong at some point.

Princess Peach's mother

Princess Peach's mother has yet to appear in person, but was referenced by Princess Peach in Super Mario Bros.: Peach-hime Kyushutsu Dai Sakusen. According to the princess, her mother had given her the Visionary Jewel from the Country of Treasure before passing away prior to the events of the film. Her political position in Mushroom Kingdom government and her relationship with Peach's father, the Mushroom Hermit, are not explored.

Professor Paint

Nothing is known about Professor Paint except his name. In the manual for Mario Paint, there are "Hints from Professor Paint", providing the player with information and tricks for the game.

Punderton

Punderton is, supposedly, a Puni that the Puni Elder fell in love with back in her younger years, when she was 'beautiful,' as she states. She tells Mario about Punderton when he says 'I LOVE YOU!' as a talk selection when talking to the Puni Elder after saving her. The character is only mentioned in the game Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door.

Quasimodo

Quasimodo is the titular character of the novel The Hunchback of Notre Dame. While trying on a dress during the events of "Baby Mario Love", Luigi complained that the whole proceedure made him feel like the Hunchback of Notre Dame.

Queen of England

The Queen of England, or just simply the Queen, is a very famous, important and world-reknown upper-class lady. In The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! live-action segment "No Way to Treat a Queenie", the Queen paid a visit to New York City, which excited Luigi, who was hoping to meet her. Mario explained to Luigi that the Queen would never come to Brooklyn, and was too high-up to mingle with little people like them.

However, Liz, a woman pretending to be the Queen, came to Mario Brothers Plumbing, and convinced Mario and Luigi that she really was the Queen. During her stay, they treated her like common folk, allowing her to clean and cook. She then knighted Mario and Luigi as sirs, when her doctor arrived, explaining that she had escaped from her home, and had to return. Although they realized that the woman wasn't a good Queen, she did make a mean fish 'n' chips pizza.

The Queen of England is supposedly based upon the actual Queen of England: Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom.

RecordoMeows

Francis mentions RecordoMeows after kidnapping Tippi in Chapter 3-1 of Super Paper Mario, where he states that he wishes to see that day's episode of The Grodus Chronicles in-person rather than having his RecordoMeow tape it. A MeowMaid in Chapter 3-4 later brings RecordoMeows up again when it, mistaking Mario for Francis, informs him that a baseball game in extra innings had delayed the day's episode of Starship X-Naut and that it had already taken care of updating the RecordoMeow's recording time to affect the delay.

Sashimie

Sashimie is a minor, non-playable Cheep-Cheep character mentioned in Paper Mario.

In Paper Mario, partners would normally receive letters from relatives, friends or just people around the world. These letters could be read at Toad Town's Post Office. For every Chapter completed, new letters would arrive. One of the letters Sushie receives is from Sashimie, her daughter. In the letter, Sashimie states she's about to have a baby and that she hopes the best for her mother.

Sashimie never appeared per-se in the game, so her physical appearance, or even where she lives, is unknown.

Scrawly Kaboodle

Scrawly Kaboodle is a barber whom Mario once mentioned in The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! live-action segment "Bats in the Basement". When Luigi mentioned that Count Zoltan Dracula had been going to night school for over three-hundred years, Mario stated that Scrawly Kaboodle had been going to high school for nearly as long. From this, it's strongly implied that Scrawly isn't very intelligent.

Spore King

The Spore King is the villain of Toad Force V, a popular television program (with a Star Trek-like fanbase) mentioned in Mario Party Advance. (It is unknown if any other major villains exist in the series; if so, he is among their ranks.) Despite the fact that a surprisingly large amount of information is known about Toxic Toad Z, one of his henchmen, very little is known about this more major villain.

In all of Mario Party Advance, only one reference is made to the Spore King. This single reference is made when selecting the "Toxic Toad Z Figure." option at Junk during Lantern Ghost's Nerd Force V mission. When this option is selected, Paratroopa will proclaim the character a "hard-core fan" of Toad Force V and begin spilling out information regarding Toxic Toad Z; as he does this, he mentions the Spore King (who happens to own the robotic Toxic Toad Z) a few times. In these mentions, Paratroopa describes how the Spore King, "outguns Toad Force V" (meaning that he overwhelms the group of protagonists with an amount of weapons surpassing theirs, suggesting he is the primary antagonist of the show) and how he ruthlessly plagiarized Toxic Toad Z's design from plans stolen from a Toad laboratory.

Timber's Parents

Timber's Parents left the little cub in charge of the Island in Diddy Kong Racing while they vacationed with the Kong clan. This was a bad idea, since the evil alien Wizpig took over the island after they left. Timber's parents are never seen in-game. In fact, they aren't even mentioned in the game at all. They are only read about in the player's manuel for the game.

Tiptron Mk. II

Tiptron Mk. II is the upgraded version of Tiptron, a partner of Mario in the game Super Paper Mario. After Mario purchases Tiptron, Francis states he is going to make Tiptron Mk. II. Francis then orders MeowMaids to fetch him some Nibble-Ums to supply his stomach while he works. Tiptron Mk. II is never seen to be completed, but is assumed to be finished eventually.

The Toilet King

The Toilet King is a character mentioned is Super Paper Mario. He leaves graffiti in the bathroom of Merlee's Mansion. His graffiti says:

"I craved stink and lo! Thou hast provided it! -The Toilet King

Because of his way of talking, the Toilet King may be a Nimbi.

Toxic Toad Z

Toxic Toad Z is one of the handful of known characters from Toad Force V mentioned in Mario Party Advance. Toxic Toad Z is a (presumably Toad-based) robotic villain in the series, and the henchman of Toad Force V's arch-nemesis, the Spore King.

When Mario, Luigi, Peach, or Yoshi accept Lantern Ghost's Nerd Force V challenge, they are directed to go to Junk, Paratroopa's item shop. On this specific mission, Junk is up and running with two items: A "Toad Force V" figurine (actually one of Jack) and a figure of Toxic Toad Z. While selecting the Toad Force V figurine is the correct action for this mission, it does not hurt to select the one of Toxic Toad Z; such an action will result in Paratroopa revealing much about the Toxic Toad Z character.

Like almost all (if not all) Toad Force V characters, not much is known about Toxic Toad Z. Paratroopa seems to know quite a bit about him, though, and, for an unseen character, there actually is a notably large amount of known information about him. According to Paratroopa, Toxic Toad Z fights with lasers and giant missiles, and his design was stolen (by the Spore King) from the Toad lab. Also, it apparently takes a "hard-core fan" to buy a figurine of Toxic Toad Z, presumably because he's a villainous (and possibly minor) henchman; despite this statement, Junk was all out of Toxic Toad Z figures at the time the player attempted to buy one, although they were apparently expecting a new shipment of them to arrive soon. Indeed, the game's ending sequence state that Paratroopa "made a fortune" by selling Toxic Toad Z figures, indicating that the shipment did eventually arrive sometime during the course of Mario Party Advance.

Uncle Tony

Uncle Tony is an uncle of Mario and Luigi's who was briefly mentioned by Mario during the events of "Glasnuts". Little is known about him, except that he is a big eater. As Mario and Luigi were discussing how to divide a pizza evenly, Mario brought up the concern that if Uncle Tony showed up he would eat more than his fair share, thus forcing them to order more pizza.

Uncle Troy

Uncle Troy is an uncle of Marilyn's, who lives somewhere in California. After Marilyn and her friends partied at Mario Brothers Plumbing during the events of "Wild Thing", she announced that they would be moving the party to a beach in California, and that they would be staying with her Uncle Troy.

Although Marilyn herself is a niece of Mario and Luigi's, Uncle Troy's relation to Mario and Luigi, if any, is unclear.

Van Helsing

Van Helsing is a fictitious vampire hunter from the novel Dracula. In the Club Nintendo comic Super Mario in Die Nacht des Grauens, Kirby stumbles across a chest with Van Helsing's name engraved, which turns out to be his legacy, containing lots of magical weapons and clothing. Kirby, Mario and Link use these weapons to defeat Abigor and his demonic fellows.

Wario's mother

Wario's mother is Wario's supposed mother briefly mentioned during the events of Mario Power Tennis. Although never actually seen in the game, during the blooper reel of Wario lifting weights, she called Wario on his cell phone. He then replied "Hello? Ma? I told you not to call me here!"

Wario's mother was also heard of in Wario's Warehouse in the website of Nintendo of Europe. It is revealed she used to say "You can never have enough cash." Wario later wedged her inside her kitchen bin and pilfered all her money.

Wario's mother perceives Wario as so goofy that she never threw him a birthday party. Consequently, Wario does not know his age.
