Ellie Mae



Ellie Mae is a somewhat stereotypical country person appearing in The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!

In The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! episode "Mario Hillbillies", Ellie Mae, needing a new faucet, went to Mario Brothers Plumbing seeking to get one from Mario and Luigi. Upon entering Mario Brothers Plumbing, Ellie Mae encountered Mario Joe and Luigi Bob, Mario and Luigi's cousins. Asking Mario Joe and Luigi Bob if they had a faucet, Ellie Mae was dismayed to hear Mario Joe say that he wasn't sure. Deciding to try and cheer Ellie Mae up, Mario Joe tells Ellie Mae not to worry; Hearing this, Ellie Mae decided to introduce herself to Mario Joe and Luigi Bob and proceeded to ask their names; at first stumbling over his words, Luigi Bob introduces himself to Ellie Mae as Luigi, likewise, Mario Joe introduces himself as Mario. After introductions are done, Ellie Mae says that she is glad to be gettingplumbing help from Mario Joe and Luigi Bob, who she says are country bumpkins.

Later on, as Mario Joe and Luigi Bob began to try and carry various plumbing tools, as well as toolbelts, Ellie Mae played with the Ratigator, who she described as cute. Asking what the Ratigator's name was, Ellie Mae got the response from Mario Joe and Luigi Bob that he was named Zeke and Luke; as Mario Joe and Luigi Bob still tried to handle their plumbing tools, Ellie Mae began to doubt their abilities, to which Mario Joe and Luigi Bob responded to by reassuring Ellie Mae and claiming it was an honor to fix her plumbing. Charmed by Mario Joe and Luigi Bob, Ellie Mae decided to keep Mario Joe and Luigi Bob over at her house for possum dinner after they fixed their plumbing. Excited by the prospect of possum dinner, Mario Joe and Luigi Bob promptly left Mario Brothers Plumbing with Ellie Mae, who decided to make Mario Joe and Luigi Bob a snack.

Trivia
