Lyle Alzado

Lyle Alzado (April 3, 1949 – May 14, 1992) was an American football player and an apparent friend of Mario and Luigi who visited them occasionally at Mario Brothers Plumbing.

In The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! live-action segment "Marianne and Luigeena", Lyle pays a visit to Mario and Luigi; but when he arrives at their apartment, the two were out getting refreshments.

Deciding to simply wait until Mario and Luigi arrive, Lyle begins to make himself comfortable, only to be disturbed by Mario and Luigi's cousins, Marianne and Luigeena, who were obviously infatuated with him. Continually flirted with by Marianne and Luigeena, a nervous Lyle kept trying to spurn their advances while waiting for Mario and Luigi.

Eventually, Luigeena left to look for her cousins, leaving Marianne alone to flirt with Lyle some more, forcing him to try and ignore her until Luigi arrived. Marianne soon left to search for Luigeena, though not before reminding Lyle of their date that night, much to Lyle's horror.

After meeting with Mario, Lyle was later informed by Marianne and Luigeena that their date with him was cancelled, as the two decided to go off and stalk Mel Gibson instead. This left Lyle somewhat depressed, as he had actually wanted to go on a date with Marianne and Luigeena, though when Lyle told Mario and Luigi this, the two simply thought he was joking.
