'''Super Mario Bros. Plumbing''' (originally called '''Mario Brothers Plumbing''', sometimes stylized as '''Mario Bros. Plumbing''') is the plumbing business owned by [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]], which is featured in various [[List of television series and films|cartoons]], the 1993 [[Super Mario Bros. (film)|''Super Mario Bros.'' film]], and 2023's ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Movie]]''. It is located in [[Brooklyn]], in the neighborhood of [[Flatbush]].

Mario Brothers Plumbing also appears as the setting of the live-action segments in the Danish dub of the series, similarly to ''The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!'' segments.

The business returns in the 2023 animated film ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Movie]]'' under its current name. Here, its logo now resembles the logo for ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', and has [[Yoichi Kotabe]]/[[Shigehisa Nakaue]]-styled artwork of Mario alongside it (with Luigi instead depicted on the other side of the van). The plumbers drive a yellow van when they go door to door.

In the film, the Mario Bros. are implied to have started their plumbing business not too long ago, having purchased a yellow van and with their commercial airing on TV possibly for the first time. After the airing of their commercial, the Mario Bros. get a call from their [[BrKLnCouple|first clients]] about a leak in their bathroom. Despite having some engine troubles, the Mario Bros. race to their clients' apartment and arrive just in time. However, the job is unsuccessful after the clients' [[Francis (The Super Mario Bros. Movie)|pet]] chases them around and creates a mess for them. Mario solicits opinions from his family members about his and Luigi's commercial, with either ridicule or indifference from most of their family, except for their mother, who loves it and says "the world laughed at [Leonardo] da Vinci too". After Mario asks Papa Mario, he is openly disapproving, and causing Mario to sour and leave.

As part of the movie's promotional campaign, a real website centered on Super Mario Bros. Plumbing, [[The Super Mario Bros. Movie#SMBPlumbing.com|SMBPlumbing.com]], opened in February 2023,<ref>[http://SMBPlumbing.com SMBPlumbing.com]. Retrieved February 12, 2023. ([https://archive.ph/yrbJM Archived] February 12, 2023, 21:39:36 UTC via archive.today.)</ref> along with a commercial featuring the [[Mario Brothers Rap]] that advertises the business and contains the URL of the website; this commercial is featured on the website itself. The website and commercial reveal that the business operates in [[Brooklyn]] and [[List of implied locations#Queens|Queens]], [[New York City]], and that its phone number is "929-55-MARIO". Dialling the number leads to a voice message in which Luigi tells the caller to text the same number for service and to visit the SMBPlumbing.com website; upon texting the number, the user receives the company's business card. The website's careers section lists dispatcher, bookkeeper, marketing manager, and driver as available job positions at Super Mario Bros. Plumbing, but selecting the "Apply Now" sign leads the user to a page which states that the application process is still being worked on. Several testimonials are also available on the website, namely from Mario and Luigi's [[Mama Mario|mother]], [[Foreman Spike|Spike]], and a user who goes by "[[BrKLnCouple]]"; the brothers' mother rates them highly favorably, while the others are more critical, with Spike holding a grudge against the brothers for leaving him to start their own business and BrKLnCouple stating that Super Mario Bros. Plumbing "left [their] house an absolute MESS"{{sic}}. BrKLnCouple abbreviates the business's name as "'''SMBP'''". The website was later updated with more positive testimonials from users "CollegeHoopsters", "DripDripBGone", "anothercaserole", "princessofQueens", "jump.man", and "Pipe_Dreamz", as well as a negative review from "dunnadunnadunna".<ref>[https://www.smbplumbing.com/testimonials/ Testimonials]. smbplumbing.com.
