Papa Mario first appeared in the short anime video ''[[Super Mario Issun-bōshi]]'', a retelling of the Japanese fairy tale ''{{wp|Issun-bōshi}}'' with ''Super Mario'' characters.

Through the camera angles used, the father's face is obscured at all times, although what can be seen is similar to his son's: pudgy with a large nose and identical mustache. Also like his son, Papa wears his brown hair in the same style and wears blue overalls. However, his undershirt is yellow instead of red, and he does not wear gloves or a hat. | Papa Mario first appeared in the short anime video ''[[Super Mario Issun-bōshi]]'', a retelling of the Japanese fairy tale ''{{wp|Issun-bōshi}}'' with ''Super Mario'' characters.
