In ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Movie]]'', a little girl, defined as "Mario and Luigi's niece"<ref name=TSMBMInterview/>, appears at the dinner scene, constantly looking down at her phone. She does not have a speaking role and her parents are not shown or mentioned. This implies that Mario and Luigi have a third unseen sibling, although she could be the daughter of one of their cousins, as it is common in the United States to refer to one's first cousin once removed by terms such as "(second) nephew" and "(second) niece" for the sake of convenience. | In ''[[The Super Mario Bros.
