A niece of Mario and Luigi,[1] appearing in The Super Mario Bros. Movie, is shown as a member of their family during a dinner gathering.

History

The Super Mario Bros. Movie

In The Super Mario Bros. Movie, the niece is shown at the dinner table during the family gathering. She wears a pink cap backwards and a teal shirt. She appears focused on her phone during the scene, not paying attention to the conversation about her uncles Mario and Luigi's Super Mario Bros. Plumbing commercial. At the end of the movie, when the crowd is cheering for Mario and Luigi's saving Brooklyn from Bowser, she is seen enthusiastically recording footage with her phone.

Trivia

  • In The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!, another niece of the Mario brothers appears in the episode "Wild Thing": Marilyn.
  • A photo in the background shows her with Uncle Arthur and Aunt Marie, implying that they are her parents. Although she is called their niece, she is more likely a cousin. In the United States, it is common to refer to one's first cousin once removed by terms such as "(second) nephew" and "(second) niece" for the sake of convenience.
