Francis (The Super Mario Bros. Movie)

Francis is a pet of the unnamed Brooklyn couple appearing in The Super Mario Bros. Movie. Francis has red fur and a collar engraved with his name.

When Mario and Luigi arrive at the house of the Brooklyn couple to fix a dripping pipe under the couple's sink, Francis starts to happily lick the woman's face. Luigi accidentally steps on Francis's bone and breaks it, causing Francis to get angry at him, and Francis furiously gazes at him as he walks with Mario into the bathroom. After Mario and Luigi fix the pipe, Francis enters the bathroom with the broken bone in his mouth, closes the door behind him, and attacks Luigi. Mario throws a shampoo bottle at Francis to distract him, and Mario manages to trap him in the shower. A few other pipes (as well as the sink) were broken during the commotion, filling the shower with water and helping Francis escape the shower from above. He jumps after the brothers, but he falls out the window. Luigi grabs Mario, who grabs Francis in midair with a plunger, saving him from falling down. The scene then cuts to Mario trying to get Francis out of the toilet as the owners walk in being shocked at the damage done to their bathroom. Mario fully pulls Francis out of the toilet, jokingly calling him "the problem" with the plumbing.

Francis and the Brooklyn couple are later seen after the final battle, cheering for Mario and Luigi. Francis gives Luigi an affirming nod showing he has dropped his grudge with Luigi for accidentally breaking his bone.

In of Brooklyn, a dog resembling Francis can be seen being taken out for a walk by a child in the background.
