Super Mario Bros. Plumbing



Mario Brothers Plumbing (sometimes shortened to Mario Bros. Plumbing) is the plumbing business owned by Mario and Luigi, which although has yet to make an appearance in the games, was featured in various cartoons and the movie. It is located in Brooklyn, in the neighborhood of Flatbush.

Located on the basement floor of an old apartment building, Mario and Luigi have succeeded in not only using the place as a workshop, but as their place of residence as well. As the basement is not a proper apartment, the brothers have learned to adapt to their surroundings, including the building's sneezing furance and the garbage chute. Due to the fact that the building is located next to the closed-off entrance of a subway station, anyone in the basement can feel the rumble of an incoming train.

The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!
Mario Bros. Plumbing was the setting of all the live action segments of the The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!. Here, Mario and Luigi interacted with their roomate Edison, as well as the resident monsters, Clog, the Ratigator and the CooKoo Bird; and in each episode, a celebrity guest star.

The motto of the brother's plumbing in the show was "You clog 'em, we clear 'em" and they were said to be New York City's best plumbing service.

Nintendo Comics System
The Mario Brothers Plumbing made a small appearance in the Nintendo Comics System short-story, "The Legend"; oddly, it is never actually stated as to whether this version of Mario Brothers Plumbing is on Earth or the Mushroom Planet.



Super Mario World
The Mario Brothers Plumbing appeared once in the Super Mario World animated series, during a flashback in "Rock TV", where Mario and Luigi remembered an outlandish phone bill for the "Speak to Santa Hotline", which presumably lets users talk to Santa Claus.

Super Mario Bros.
In Super Mario Bros. the movie, Mario and Luigi's business is in their home and they simply stay in their house until they get business calls. In this portrayal, they own a white van with "Mario Bros. Plumbing" written on the side of it.
