Is it reasonable to assume the one on the right is Mario and Luigi's father, while the one wearing the frilly pink nightgown is their mother? Keep in mind, this will go against the pictures in Family Album "The Early Years", where Mrs. Mario is thin, and her husband more rotund (in both halves of this picture, the frilly one on the left is more portly). - 19:48, 4 December 2008 (EST)


 * I think that is a reasonable assumption. And it's totally fine that it doesn't match other sources.  It happens. --

I thought the father was on the left and the mother was on the right?


 * Hmmm...possibly. He could be standing with his arms crossed with a cape-like thing behind him, not a night gown. --
 * The fancy trimming and the fact that it's pink still implies that Mario's mother is on the left. The overall design looks like night gowns women wear in older movies too, I think. - 20:49, 4 December 2008 (EST)


 * What do you make of the figure on the right then? What is the outfit? --


 * Just a simple nightshirt - it's a common alternative to sleeping in the nude/in underwhere (both of which would be a bit alarming in Yoshi's Island). My brother wears long shirts like that to sleep, for example. - 21:06, 4 December 2008 (EST)
