List of implied characters

The following is a list of characters and creatures that have been mentioned during a dialogue, but have never actually appeared in any game or other media.

Aunt Maria
Aunt Maria is an aunt of Mario and Luigi's who was briefly mentioned by Luigi in The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3 episode "Crimes R Us".

While Mario and Luigi were looking at clouds, Luigi noticed that one cloud in particular resembled their Aunt Maria. However, the cloud looked nothing like a human. An Aunt Maria was also mentioned in the book Doors to Doom, where Donkey Kong Jr.'s yell is compared to a cross between Tarzan's and the screech Aunt Maria makes when the Mario Bros. walk on her newly waxed floor.

It's possible that Aunt Maria is the namesake of Mario, due to the similarities of their names.

Bog Monster
The Bog Monster is an apparently horrific creature that, according to Klump, eats everything in sight. They reside in the Forbidden Forest on Kongo Bongo Island in the Donkey Kong Country cartoon.

In the Donkey Kong Country episode "Bug A Boogie", it is revealed that Donkey Kong secretly feared the Bog Monster, as, when he was young, Cranky Kong told him that if he ventured into the Forbidden Forest, the Bog Monster would get him; one day, Donkey Kong disobeyed Cranky Kong and decided to go into the Forbidden Forest, only to encounter and subsequently be scared by a Bog Monster. It is later revealed to Donkey Kong by Cranky Kong that he had, in actuality, simply made up the story of the Bog Monster, and that it was him who scared Donkey Kong when he entered the Forbidden Forest, wanting to teach Donkey Kong a lesson in disobeying him.

Oddly, it seems the Bog Monster may have been an actual creature, as, at the end of "Bug A Boogie", Klump and Krusha, while trying to help King K. Rool out of a pit of quicksand he was stuck in, hear a monstrous roar in the Forbidden Forest, seemingly the Bog Monster.

Diddy Kong also has the unique talent of mimicking the roar of one.

Bomblink
Bomblink is a female Bob-omb, that (although never seen) is mentioned in Paper Mario:The Thousand-Year Door. After Mario takes on Swob's trouble, he heads down to the Pit of 100 Trials and reaches the 50th floor. Mario then has a chance to read Swob's Wish. In the wish, Swob writes "I want to marry Bomblink in a shocking wedding". It is, however, unknown if Swob ever had this chance.

Bowser's Father
Bowser's Father is the father of King Bowser Koopa who was briefly mentioned by him in the Nintendo Comics System issues "Bedtime for Drain-Head" and "The Buddy System". As Bowser's Father is only mentioned in passing, not much is known about him; though he is implied to be a criminal on the run, as Bowser tells the captured Toad that he hopes to see his father on the television program "Kingdom's Most Wanted", which is seemingly a parody of America's Most Wanted, a show dedicated in helping catch criminals. Additionally, Bowser also mentioned that his father was the one who taught him the life lesson "'Son, when you put your mind to it, there's no problem big enough to run away from!". It is possible his name is Morton Koopa, which is where his grandson, Morton Koopa Jr., got his name. Mama Koopa is another non-game character who could have been married to Bowser's Father. Poopa La Koopa is his implied father, as he is Bowser's grandfather. Alternatively, Poppa La Koopa could also be Mama Koopa's father as well.

Bowser's Sister
Bowser's Sister is one of Bowser's family members. She is only mentioned in the song Ignorance is Bliss. Bowser mentions that Princess Peach reminds him of her sister.

Since she only has one mention, little is known about her, besides the following facts:
 * She is younger than Bowser ("You remind me of my kid sister").
 * She enjoys reading ("She read so much, she got a blister").
 * Bowser thinks lowly of her ("What a shnook!").

Nothing else is known about her, not even her name, though anything mentioned in the lyrics of Ignorance is Bliss is not considered very canonical. Note that since she is the sister of Bowser, her last name most obviously be "Koopa".

Breadward
Breadward is a Pixl that was mentioned by Mimi in Super Paper Mario. Not much is known about Breadward, except that he is made out of oats and lard. It is unknown what ability Breadward possesses, or if he even exists, as Mimi may have just been lying or kidding when mentioning Breadward. Breadward is mentioned when Mimi (disguised as Merlee) attempts to swindle Mario into signing a paper and earning the Pure Heart in exchange for some Rubees. If Mario refuses to sign the paper four times, she offers Breadward to him.


 * Breadward's name is a pun on the name "Edward" with a use of the word "bread".

Britney
Britney is the lead female character in Toad Force V, an implied action TV show mentioned several times in Mario Party Advance. Immensely little is known about Britney, who may be the most obscure Toad Force V character; she is only brought up briefly by Mushbert in the mission DVD For Me.

Practically the only thing known about Britney is that she surpasses even Jack in popularity among Toad Force V's fanbase, presumably making her the most popular character in the series. Due to her known status as "heroine", she is also the only known member of the Toad Force V group of protagonists besides Jack, the shows main focus. It is possible that she, like many other characters on the show, is a robotic Toad, but this is theoretical.

Business Bro.
Business Bros. are a type of Hammer Bro. whose existence is only implied in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. The only known Business Bro. is Hamma Jamma's father, although there are very likely several more.

Business Bros. seem to be the Hammer Bro. answer to the businessman. Therefore, it is assumed that Business Bros. lead a more laid back, controlled, and much less violent life in comparison to normal Hammer Bros. Also, as Hamma Jamma once told Mario, dropping out of Hammer Bros. school to go to Business Bros. school (as his father did) is a responsible (yet, according to him, lame) act.

Chief Quimby
Chief Quimby is the chief of the Metro City police department. He regularly sends Inspector Gadget out on missions to stop Dr. Claw and his MAD Agents from pulling off evil schemes.

Chief Quimby, who was only ever referred to as "The Chief", had a minor role on The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!, in the live-action segment "Defective Gadgetry". In it, he called Inspector Gadget on his top-secret gadget phone, and asked when Inspector Gadget would be coming over. As Inspector Gadget was awaiting repairs at Mario Brothers Plumbing, he told the Chief that he would be on his way as soon as Mario and Luigi repaired his gadgets.

Despite his prominence in the Inspector Gadget series, Chief Quimby's role in the Marioverse is very limited, for he doesn't make an onscreen appearance, and is never referred to by his full name.

Clawdia Koopa
Clawdia Koopa is a character that is mentioned in one issue of Nintendo Power UK. Nothing is known of her except her name and that she is or was the wife of Bowser. She is unlikely to exist for many reasons, being most likely a joke. One of these reasons is that Bowser Jr. does not remember her, as he was tricked in Super Mario Sunshine into believing that Princess Peach was his mother. Another reason is that Bowser is "married" to Princess Peach in Super Paper Mario by Count Bleck. Bowser considers the marriage legitimate, implying he does not have another wife, although he could be a polygamist.

Confucius
Confucius was a famous Chinese philosopher who was mentioned in the Donkey Kong Country animated series episode "Kong Fu" by Kong Fu in a song. Confucius was the one who taught Kong Fu that "The mind must be as sharp as a wisdom toad."

Confucius was spoofed in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars through the character Frogfucius.

Clowny the Clown
Clowny the Clown is supposedly a clown in the Marioverse thats only mention is in Wario: Master of Disguise. He is a nice clown, isn't frightening, and is so popular that he gives out autographs.

Cranky Kong's Great-Grandfather
Cranky Kong's Great-Grandfather is a great-grandfather of Cranky Kong's, who was briefly mentioned by Bazaar in Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!. Due to Cranky's old age, it can be assumed that his great-grandfather died a long time ago.

When Dixie or Kiddy Kong inquire about the Mirror that Bazaar is selling for fifty Bear Coins, Bazaar will mention that it belonged to Cranky Kong's great-grandfather, and that he can't let it go for a lower price, for it is an antique. Aside from this, no mention of Cranky's great-grandfather has ever been made, meaning that whether or not the great-grandfather was maternal or paternal is unknown.

Donkey
The Donkeys are a species of animal inhabiting the Real World; they have been briefly mentioned in the Marioverse.

The first chronological mention the donkey came in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, where, before battling with Yoshi, Baby Bowser mentions the green dinosaur's appearance as reminding  him of "some kind of gween [sic] donkey". The term is not mentioned again.

Two notable characters with "Donkey" in their names are Donkey Kong and Donkey Kong Jr.; however, both characters have nothing to do with the Real World donkey, being gorillas.

Fluffy
Fluffy is a now dead hamster. Fluffy was mentioned in Wario's Warehouse. Fluffy was once owned by Wario, but died from neglect in 1986. Fluffy shares the name with a Lakitu's Cloud called Fluffy from a Mario comic.

Grandma Mia
Grandma Mia is a grandmother to Mario and Luigi, who was briefly mentioned by Mario in The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! episode "The Fire of Hercufleas".

After Mario and his friends had helped train the obese Hercufleas back into shape, Mario remarked that Hercufleas was even stronger than his Grandma Mia's garlic chip cookies. However, this was the only time that Grandma Mia was ever mentioned, and no other information about her is known, including whether she is Mario and Luigi's maternal or paternal grandmother.

In the Nintendo Comics System story "Vote Mario for Man of the Year", when telling Toad about his secret pasta recipe, Mario mentions that "only Luigi, Grandma, and me know it!" Given that the comics were produced separately from the cartoons, it is not known whether or not Mario was referring to Grandma Mia in that statement.

Hamma Jamma's Father
Hamma Jamma's Father is the father of Hamma Jamma who is mentioned twice in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. He is notable for being the only known Business Bro., a possibly rare Hammer Bro. sub-species.

Little is known about Hamma Jamma's father, other than the fact that he is one of Hamma Jamma's many family members whom he left to join the Glitz Pit. Unlike Hamma Jamma's beloved grandfather, references to him are very rare. Hamma Jamma's first mention of him states that he dropped out of Hammer Bros. school, choosing to enroll in Business Bros. school. This act, possibly strange among belligerent Hammer Bros., seems to have embarrassed and confused his son. The last mention of him, however, seems to suggest that Hamma Jamma may still love his father: When referring to his dad this time, Hamma says that he's actually attending his fight that day (which could mean that he appeared in the audience during one of Mario's fights), and he wishes to win and impress him.

Hamma Jamma's Grandfather


Hamma Jamma's Grandfather of an unknown name is a Hammer Bro. brought up by his grandson several times in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. Quite cleverly on Nintendo's part, he actually first appeared as an unknown Hammer Bro. in Super Mario Bros.

Hamma Jamma's grandfather actually never appears in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, and may even be dead. However, as stated above, he earned several mentions in that game. These mentions are all the product of his grandson Hamma Jamma's ramblings. Hamma Jamma, a fighter in the Glitz Pit and member of the Hamma, Bamma, and Flare team, continually cites his grandfather as his inspiration. Apparently, his grandpa once owned his beloved hammer, and is one of Hamma's several family members he left behind to pursue a career in fighting.

However, as aforementioned, Hamma Jamma's grandfather may have in fact appeared in a Mario game of old (Super Mario Bros.). This is confirmed by Hamma Jamma's statement of "World 7-1" being his grandfather's "'hood". This is commonly taken as a clever reference to Super Mario Bros., which features a World 7-1 stage filled with Hammer Bros. It is unknown how well Hamma Jamma's grandfather fared during Mario's conquest of World 7-1, or if he still works for the Koopa Troop (if he is even still alive).

James
James is apparently the greatest thief who ever lived. He was mentioned in the enemy glossary of Wario: Master of Disguise. Although he steals good, he isnt very good at the "stealing" part. James has deceased, and his soul is inside of the Sir Steal-A-Lot.

Kazzoie
Kazooie is the apparent bird friend of Banjo; she was briefly mentioned in Diddy Kong Racing's manual. She did not join the bear in his adventures with Diddy Kong on Timber's Island, although she was later seen in the Banjo-Kazooie series; she, however, remains implied in the Donkey Kong Country series and therefore the Mario series.

In an early screenshot of Donkey Kong 64, a picture of Kazooie's, as well as Banjo's, head could be seen on a shower stall in Donkey Kong's Treehouse; these Kazooie and Banjo pictures, along with the shower stall they were attached to, were later removed from the final version of Donkey Kong 64.

King Mousta
King Mousta was the king of Dry Dry Kingdom. He is only mentioned in the game Paper Mario by a Dryite in Dry Dry Outpost. King Mousta is probably arleady dead, since King Mousta's kingdom, the Dry Dry Kingdom got destroyed. King Mousta's name is very similar to Moustafa's name, and it is possible that King Mousta was an ancestor of Moustafa.

King Mushroomkhamen
King Mushroomkhamen was, at one point, the ruler of Desert Land. He is the husband of Queen Mushroomkhamen, and the father of Prince Mushroomkhamen. He was briefly mentioned by his wife in The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3 episode "Mind Your Mummy Mommy, Mario".

According to Queen Mushroomkhamen, Luigi looks just like King Mushroomkhamen. Because of this, Queen Mushroomkhamen fell in love with Luigi, much like she did with King Mushroomkhamen.

The current whereabouts of King Mushroomkhamen are unknown, as neither he nor even his mummy case were confirmed to be in his family's tomb.

Moldy
Moldy is the father of Toad, and the son of Gramps, who was briefly mentioned by the two of them The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! episode "Escape from Koopatraz / French".

As Moldy was only mentioned in passing by Toad and Gramps, there is no real information known about him.

The word "moldy", for which Moldy is named, means "covered in mold", mold being a type of food-ruining fungus regarded as harmful by most. It is likely that Moldy was given this mold-related name due to mold's prowess as a fungus, as Toads are also based on fungi (although mushrooms in their case).

Old Man Skoo
Old Man Skoo was a person briefly mentioned in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door who was gobbled up by Hooktail two villages over from Petalburg. It's unknown if he managed to escape from Hooktail's stomach when Hooktail was defeated by Mario, or if he was destroyed before then. It is also unknown what species Old Man Skoo was during his lifetime, although the instance of "koo" in his name may suggest that he was a Koopa. (If this is so, then it is further possible that he was one of the Dull Bones who attacked Mario while he was adventuring in Hooktail Castle.)

Pengwen
Pengwen is Penguin's girlfriend mentioned in Mario Party Advance. In Shroom City's Ice Game Room, Penguin wants to propose to Pengwen, but could not afford a ring. He loses everything he had on Drop 'em, a game he is trying to win. With the help of either Mario, Luigi, Peach, or Yoshi, Penguin manages to get back his earnings and announces that he and Pengwen are finally able to get married, while whoever won the game gets to keep it. However, at the end of the game, the epilogue states that Penguin is still unable to afford a ring.

Pengwen's name is a portmanteau of "Penguin" and "Gwen", the latter being a nickname commonly used in place of the longer "Gwendolyn". It should also be noted that both names are homophones of each other.

Poopa La Koopa
Poopa La Koopa is the grandfather of King Koopa who was briefly mentioned by him in The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! episode "Butch Mario & the Luigi Kid".

As Poopa La Koopa is only mentioned in passing by King Koopa, nothing is really known about him, though he seems to be as bad as King Koopa, being said to be a cheater and liar (his motto being "Cheat, beat an' be merry!"). Poopa La Koopa is Bowser's grandfather, so it could be possible that he is either Bowser's Father's or Mama Koopa's father.

Punderton
Punderton is, supposedly, a Puni that the Puni Elder fell in love with back in her younger years, when she was 'beautiful,' as she states. She tells Mario about Punderton when he says 'I LOVE YOU!' as a talk selection when talking to the Puni Elder after saving her. The character is only mentioned in the game Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door.

Sashimie
Sashimie is a minor, non-playable Cheep-Cheep character mentioned in Paper Mario.

In Paper Mario, partners would normally receive letters from relatives, friends or just people around the world. These letters could be read at Toad Town's Post Office. For every Chapter completed, new letters would arrive. One of the letters Sushie receives is from Sashimie, her daughter. In the letter, Sashimie states she's about to have a baby and that she hopes the best for her mother.

Sashimie never appeared per-se in the game, so her physical appearance, or even where she lives, is unknown.

Spore King
The Spore King is the villain of Toad Force V, a popular television program (with a Star Trek-like fanbase) mentioned in Mario Party Advance. (It is unknown if any other major villains exist in the series; if so, he is among their ranks.) Despite the fact that a surprisingly large amount of information is known about Toxic Toad Z, one of his henchmen, very little is known about this more major villain.

In all of Mario Party Advance, only one reference is made to the Spore King. This single reference is made when selecting the "Toxic Toad Z Figure." option at Junk during Lantern Ghost's Nerd Force V mission. When this option is selected, Paratroopa will proclaim the character a "hard-core fan" of Toad Force V and begin spilling out information regarding Toxic Toad Z; as he does this, he mentions the Spore King (who happens to own the robotic Toxic Toad Z) a few times. In these mentions, Paratroopa describes how the Spore King, perhaps the main antagonist of Toad Force V, "outguns Toad Force V" (meaning that he overwhelms the group of protagonists with an amount of weapons surpassing theirs) and how he ruthlessly plagiarized Toxic Toad Z's design from plans stolen from a Toad laboratory.

The Cap'n
The Cap'n is a character that is mentioned in Super Mario 64. It is implied that the character is actually a Captain that once lived in Jolly Roger Bay with his ship until his ship sank into the deep bottom.

When Mario attempts to get the second Power Star in Jolly Roger Bay, Mario has to swim down into the ocean and get into the hole in the ocean to get into the dangerous cave. When Mario attempts to cross all over the way into the very end of the cave, he mentions that anyone that enters the cave will obtain certain trouble. Mario curiously passes the obstacles as he will find four Treasure Chests at the end of the cave. When Mario reads a Sign near to the four Treasure Chests; The Cap'n was mentioned in the sign as he mentions that he hid the Power Star in one of the treasures. He also mentions that to get it, Mario must open the Treasure Chests in the right order; but The Cap'n will not tell. The player can figure out how to get the Power Star by opening the Treasure Chests in order by size.

As the word "cap'n" is simply short for "captain", it has been used in other Mario games; an example of this is Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, where the captain of the S.S. Chuckola is referred to as "Cap'n" in one line of dialogue.

Timber's Parents
Timber's Parents left the little cub in charge of the Island - the island from Diddy Kong Racing - while they vacationed with the Kong clan. This was a bad idea, since after they left, the evil alien Wizpig took over the island. Timber's parents are never seen in-game.

Tiptron Mk. II
'''Tiptron Mk. II' is the upgraded version of Tiptron, a partner of Mario in the game Super Paper Mario''. After Mario purchases Tiptron, Francis states he is going to make Tiptron Mk. II. Francis then orders MeowMaids to fetch him some Nibble-Ums to supply his stomach while he works. Tiptron Mk. II is never seen to be completed, but is assumed to be finished eventually.

Toxic Toad Z
Toxic Toad Z is one of the handful of known characters from Toad Force V mentioned in Mario Party Advance. Toxic Toad Z is a (presumably Toad-based) robotic villain in the series; more specifically, he is the henchman of the more major Spore King.

When Mario, Luigi, Peach, or Yoshi accept Lantern Ghost's Nerd Force V challenge, they are directed to go to Junk, Paratroopa's item shop. On this specific mission, Junk is up and running with two items: A "Toad Force V" figurine (actually one of Jack) and a figure of Toxic Toad Z. While selecting the Toad Force V figurine is the correct action for this mission, it does not hurt to select the one of Toxic Toad Z; such an action will result in Paratroopa revealing much about the Toxic Toad Z character.

Like almost all (if not all) Toad Force V characters, not much is known about Toxic Toad Z. Paratroopa seems to know quite a bit about him, though, and, for an unseen character, there actually is a notably large amount of known information about him. According to Paratroopa, Toxic Toad Z fights with lasers and giant missiles, and his design was stolen (by the Spore King) from the Toad lab. Also, it apparently takes a "hard-core fan" to buy a figurine of Toxic Toad Z, presumably because he's a villainous (and possibly minor) henchman; despite this statement, though, Junk was all out of Toxic Toad Z figures at the time the player attempted to buy one, although they were apparently expecting a new shipment of them to arrive soon. Indeed, the game's ending sequence state that Paratroopa "made a fortune" by selling Toxic Toad Z figures, indicating that the shipment did eventually arrive sometime during the course of Mario Party Advance.

Wario's Mother
Wario's Mother is Wario's supposed mother briefly mentioned during the events of Mario Power Tennis. Although never actually seen in the game, during the blooper reel of Wario lifting weights, she called Wario on his cell phone. He then replied "Hello? Ma? I told you not to call me here!"

Wario's Mother was also heard of in Wario's Warehouse in the website of Nintendo of Europe. It is revealed she used to say "You can never have enough cash." Wario later wedged her inside her kitchen bin and pilfered all her money.

Due to the scene being a blooper reel, Wario's Mother's status as canonical is debated. Also Wario's Warehouse is not considered very canonical.

Wario's mother perceives Wario as so goofy that she never threw him a birthday party. Consequently, Wario does not know his age.
