Grandma Mario

Grandma Mario is one of Mario and Luigi's grandmothers. Despite the fact that Mario is stated to be their family's last name, Grandma Mario's actual name is Mario. Due to this, it is unknown as to whether she is Mario and Luigi's maternal or paternal grandmother. Mario and Luigi's other grandmother is Grandma Mia. Grandma Mario's only role to date is in The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! live-action segment "The Great Hereafter".

The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!
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 occassions. However, she could never fully finish her scoldings, as Luigi would always snap Mario out of his daydreams.

Mario and Luigi soon enlisted the help of The Old Psychic Lady with the Evil Eye Who Reads Fortunes and Knows Everything Before it Happens to help them reach out and call forth Grandma Mario. Eventually, they succeeded, only for Grandma Mario to use The Old Psychic Lady's body as a host. Back from the dead, but in another body, Granma Mario made her return by smacking Mario and scolding him.

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 burried, despite the fact that was unable to remember the location, which Mario and Luigi guessed was either Newark or upper Newark.

Grandma Mario then told Mario and Luigi to clean up their apartment, told Luigi to wash behind his ears, and told Mario to trim his nose hairs, so that she could finally rest easy, even if it had to be in Newark. With that said, Grandma Mario fell back onto a chair as her spirit left The Old Psychic Lady's body, presumably returning to her grave.

Family
Being a grandmother to Mario and Luigi, Grandma Mario is the mother and mother-in-law of Mama Mario and Papa, although it is unrevealed as to which side of the family she hails from. If she is their paternal grandmother, then her husband would've supposedly been Grandpapa. Mario and Luigi's Aunt Luigeena and Aunt Maria are either her daughters or nieces. Marianne and Luigeena are either her granddaughters or great nieces. Mario Joe and Luigi Bob are either her grandsons or great nephews.
