Momma, or Sonny's Momma, is a character in the Saturday Supercade episode "Hairy Parent." She is an anthropomorphic ape resident of Africa who has deep affection for her son, Sonny.
Momma first appears near the middle of the episode, where she is given a letter by Donkey Kong from Sonny. She is flattered by the letter, but is kidnapped by Trapper Jack before she could more deeply express her feelings.
Later, when Pauline devises a plan to free Momma and the other animals at the auction, Mario enters the same cage as her. Momma, mistaking Mario as "Poppa", embraces him, causing the two to be auctioned together. While the auction is in session, Donkey Kong rescues both Mario and Momma by creating a diversion to distract the auctioneers and the top bidders, as well as Trapper Jack. Momma eventually joins Mario and co. in "banishing" Trapper Jack from Africa.
Momma eventually tags along for Mario, Pauline, and Donkey Kong's return trip to Safari Land, where she shares a joyful reunion with Sonny.
