'''Grandma Mario''' is a late grandmother of [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]]'s, her own name being Mario's namesake. It is unknown as to whether she is Mario and Luigi's maternal or paternal grandmother. Indeed, [[Grandma Mia]], another grandmother mentioned by Mario, may or may not be the same character as Grandma Mario. Grandma Mario's only role to date is in ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!]]'' live-action segment "[[The Great Hereafter]]".

===="The Great Hereafter"====
Little is  revealed about Grandma Mario's past life, except that she was very strict toward both Mario and Luigi when they were younger, and was not very attractive. At some point, she attempted to scold Mario in his daydreams at [[Mario Brothers Plumbing]] from beyond her grave in Newark on several occasions. However, she could never fully finish her admonishments, as Luigi would always snap Mario out of his daydreams before she was able to do so.
Mario and Luigi soon enlist the help of [[The Old Psychic Lady]] to help them reach out and call forth Grandma Mario. Eventually, they succeed, only for Grandma Mario to use the psychic's body as a host. Back from the dead, if in another body, Grandma Mario makes her return by once again smacking Mario and scolding him.


Looking around Mario Brothers Plumbing, Grandma Mario is appalled to see the messy condition the place is in and is unable to describe it in her own words. Luigi suggests it is a dump, though she tells him to shut up and not to talk back to her. Grandma Mario then states that they have broken her heart and made her the laughingstock of wherever she had been buried, despite the fact she is unable to remember the location, which Mario and Luigi suggest is either Newark or upper Newark.
Little is actually revealed about Grandma Mario's past life, except that she was very strict towards Mario and Luigi when they were younger, and was not much of a looker. At some point, she attempted to scold Mario in his daydreams at [[Mario Brothers Plumbing]] from beyond her grave in Newark on several occasions. However, she could never fully finish her scoldings, as Luigi would always snap Mario out of his daydreams.


Grandma Mario then tells Mario and Luigi to clean up their apartment, tells Luigi to wash behind his ears, and tells Mario to trim his nose hairs, so that she can finally rest easily, even if it has to be in Newark. With this said, Grandma Mario falls back onto a chair as her spirit leaves The Old Psychic Lady's body, presumably returning to her grave.

Looking around Mario Brothers Plumbing, Grandma Mario was appalled to see the messy condition the place was in and was unable to describe it in her own words. Luigi suggested that it was a dump, but she instead told him to shut up and not talk back to her. Grandma Mario then exclaimed that their dumpy heart broke her heart and made her the laughing stock of wherever she had been buried, despite the fact that was unable to remember the location, which Mario and Luigi guessed was either Newark or upper Newark.
In "[[Cyrano de Mario]]", Mario claims that [[Roxanne]]'s eyes are like Grandma Mario's Easter meatballs.
