+'''Papa Mario''' is the father of Mario and Luigi. He has made only a few minor appearances across official ''Mario'' media and, as such, little about his personality was actually known until the release of ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Movie]]'', where he is shown expressing disapproval for Mario and Luigi leaving their steady jobs to start their own [[Super Mario Bros. Plumbing|business]]. However, at the end of the film, after Mario and Luigi defeat [[Bowser]], the father embraces his sons and is shown to be proud of them. He, along with [[Giuseppe]], is voiced by [[Charles Martinet]] in the film, and was his last role in the ''Mario'' franchise before he stepped down from voice acting in the franchise and became the Mario Ambassador in August of 2023.

-In ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Movie]]'', a little girl, defined as "Mario and Luigi's niece"<ref name=TSMBMInterview/>, appears at the dinner scene, constantly looking down at her phone. She does not have a speaking role and her parents are not shown or mentioned. This implies that Mario and Luigi have a third unseen sibling, although she is more likely a cousin, as it is common in the United States to refer to one's first cousin once removed by terms such as "(second) nephew" and "(second) niece" for the sake of convenience.
