Santa Claus
Santa Claus is said to be the one who gives presents to children on Christmas. He appears in some episodes of The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!.
In the live-action segment from "Star Koopa / Santa Claus is Coming to Flatbush", he goes to the Mario Brothers Plumbing house because his sled got stolen. In the cartoon segment of "Koopa Klaus / Little Marios", King Koopa kidnaps him, so Mario and the gang go save him.
In "Rock TV", an episode of the Super Mario World animated series, Mario remembers an outlandish phone bill he got back in Brooklyn from calling the "Speak to Santa Hotline", which seems to let users talk to Santa himself.
After chapter 7 in Paper Mario if you sleep at the Toadhouse you wake up to find tons of Mushrooms. The diolouge of the head of the Toad House implies that it was from Santa.
