Mario and Luigi's mother is a character in the Mario franchise. She is the mother of Mario and Luigi.
A version of Mario's mother made her first appearance in Super Mario Issun-bōshi. The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! was responsible for the expansion of the character, being the first and, for much of the franchise's history, only source that showed her face or explored her personality, developing her as a comically strict parental figure who ultimately cared very much for her boys. Though Mario and Luigi fear her temper and punishments on the show, both boys return their mother's love. Mama Mario's connection to Mario and Luigi's father is unclear, but the two are shown to live with each other in all of Papa's appearances, and the fact that Mama has a maiden name implies that she is or was married.
Mama Mario's appearance is relatively inconsistent across the series: The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! portrayed her as a portly, masculine woman, while the Nintendo Comics System shows her as a dainty, blonde-haired, young woman. She also appears in The Super Mario Bros. Movie living in Brooklyn along with Papa Mario and other members of Mario's family.
