-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.
