Apefucius is a spoof of the famous Chinese philosopher Confucius.

Aunt Maria

The cloud that resembles Aunt Maria

Aunt Maria is an aunt of Mario and Luigi's who is briefly mentioned by Luigi in the The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3 episode "Crimes R Us." While Mario and Luigi look at clouds, Luigi comments that one of them resembles their Aunt Maria.

Big Rock Who Watches may be a fourth-wall-breaking reference to the player, similar to other allusions to the player by other characters in the game.

Bluebeard Baboon

Bluebeard Baboon is a pirate mentioned in the Donkey Kong Country TV series episode "The Curse of Kongo Bongo". One thousand years before the events in the show, his ship, for unexplained reasons, sank, killing him. Every one hundred years afterward, his ghost will rise out of the ocean and deliver to everyone a letter containing "the curse of the double doubloon"; the letter, which is actually a description of the curse, states that anybody who reads it twice will cause the Crystal Coconut to lose its power and the island to sink into the ocean.

Bobolink

“I want to marry Bobolink in a shocker wedding.”

—Swob, Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door

Bobolink is a female Bob-omb with whom Swob is in love. During this period of his life, Swob writes about his marriage on a rock on the fiftieth floor of Rogueport's Pit of 100 Trials. He also writes that he wants to have 22 children, so his family can play soccer matches. He believes that any wish written on the fiftieth floor of the Pit will come true. He uses a "special big explosion" to get down to the fiftieth floor and writes the graffiti so fiercely that it would be almost impossible to remove. When he finds out that this is a hoax, he files a request at the Trouble Center. Mario accepts the trouble and has Admiral Bobbery destroy the wall after reading the wish.

Her name is a pun on "Bob-omb" and "bobolink", a species of blackbird.

Bog Monster

The Bog Monster is an apparently horrific creature that, according to Klump, eats everything in sight. It resides in the Forbidden Forest on Kongo Bongo Island, as stated in the Donkey Kong Country cartoon. As it is never seen, the only physical description given is in the lyrics to one of the songs in an, in which it is described as a monster having crystal skin, giant claws, dripping fangs, beady red eyes, stinky breath that could knock over a rhino, hair full of maggots, ears dripping something yellow, and arms thicker than a tree. Of course, this is when Donkey Kong saw it and that was Cranky Kong disguised as a Bog Monster, so this may not be an accurate description.

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, since, 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, heard a monstrous roar in the Forbidden Forest, seemingly the Bog Monster.

Diddy Kong also has the talent of mimicking the roar of one, while Funky Kong apparently growls like one when he sleeps.

Bowser's father

Bowser's father was briefly mentioned by him in the Nintendo Comics System issues "Bedtime for Drain-Head" and "The Buddy System". As Bowser's father was only mentioned in passing, not much is known about him, except that he was supposedly a criminal on the run, as Bowser told the captured Toad that he hoped 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 to 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 too big to run away from!". Mama Koopa is another non-game character who could have been married to Bowser's father.

Bowser's grandfather

Bowser's grandfather is a character mentioned by Bowser in Mario Party Advance. In the quest Bowser: Accused!, Bowser states that the clock in his mansion belonged to his "grandpappy". It is unknown if that is true.

Bowser's sister

Template:Quote2 Bowser's sister is one of Bowser's family members. She is only mentioned in the song "Ignorance is Bliss" when Bowser likens Peach to his sister because they both enjoy reading, which he views disparagingly. According to Bowser, his sister got a blister on her brain from all her reading.

Breadward

Breadward is a Pixl that was mentioned by Mimi in Super Paper Mario. Mimi (disguised as Merlee) attempts to swindle Mario and Princess Peach into signing a paper and earning the Pure Heart in exchange for some Rubees. If Mario and Peach refuse to sign the paper four times, she offers them Breadward, which she claims is made from "oats and lard". It is not known if Breadward actually exists, however.

Britney

Britney is the lead female character in Toad Force V, an implied action TV show mentioned several times in Mario Party Advance; Britney herself is only brought up briefly by Mushbert in the mission DVD For Me.

One of the few things known about Britney is that she surpasses the hero of Toad Force V, Jack, in popularity among the show's fanbase, presumably making her the most popular character in the series. She is Jack's sidekick, and together they are the only known members of the Toad Force V group of protagonists. It is possible that she, like many other characters on the show, is a robotic Toad, but this is theoretical as she is simply identified as a "Heroine", and nothing more.

Buzzo

Buzzo is a character of unknown species addressed by both Laki's and Koopla's graffiti writings in Merlee's Basement in Super Paper Mario. Both of them express their love for Buzzo and each other in their messages.

Cabin Proprietor

The Cabin Proprietor is a character that owns the cabin found at near the starting point of Cool, Cool Mountain in Super Mario 64 and Super Mario 64 DS. On a sign outside the cabin is a message from the proprietor telling the player that they can enter the cabin by leaping down into the chimney, alluding to Santa Claus.

The Cannoli clan

The first family member of the Cannoli clan

The Cannoli clan is a family of thieves mentioned by Count Cannoli many times in Wario: Master of Disguise. They have been thieves for many generations. Count Cannoli and Goodstyle, who is actually the very first Cannoli, are the only family members seen in the game.

It is known that Goodstyle has been passed down in the family and that each family member has had their own machine (Cannoli had the Mad Hat Mk. I) and that each machine had a weakness. The Mad Hat Mk. II has been protecting the Cannoli family for generations, and is probably the whole family's machine.

C. Parmesan

C. Parmesan is a book author implied in the Study in Luigi's Mansion. In this room, there is a book titled Darkness is Their Cheese, which clues the player about the hidden cheese found in various rooms throughout the mansion, which spawn Gold Mice when examined with the Game Boy Horror. C. Parmesan's name is a reference to parmesan, a type of cheese.

C.S. Booois

C.S. Booois is the author of the book Basic Game Info found in The Bookshelf in the Lab on the Luigi's Mansion microsite. Their name is an allusion to English author C. S. Lewis.

The Cap'n

The Cap'n is a character that is mentioned in Super Mario 64 and its remake, Super Mario 64 DS. In a cavern accessible by swimming through an underwater tunnel past the ship in Jolly Roger Bay, there is a sign with a message from the Cap'n stating that anybody who enters will "meet certain disaster." At the end of the cavern, another sign near a group of treasure chests contains a second message from the Cap'n, this time stating that to obtain his treasure, the player must open the treasure chests in the correct order, but does not explain what the order is. Opening the chests reveals that the Cap'n's "treasure" is the Power Star for the third mission.

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

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.

Colonel Hubert Jefferson

Colonel Hubert Jefferson is Lucy Belle's great grandfather, and consequently Bones's second great uncle or cousin three times added (though the exact relation is left unspecified), who was mentioned in the Saturday Supercade episode "Double or Nothing". He had left behind a will stating that Mr. Bancroft would inherit his mansion unless Lucy Belle solved a certain rebus puzzle by the midnight following the will's reading, in which she would inherit the mansion instead.

Cranberry

Template:Quote2 Cranberry is the last of the Luffs. He played a very short, but integral part in Luigi's adventure during the events of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door.

Luigi met Cranberry in Rapturous Ruins, where he was found sleeping. With a sneeze (a soft call in the Super Luigi novelization), Luigi awoke Cranberry and earned the ability to speak his language; Cranberry explained that the Luffs were once a great empire because of their use of the Marvelous Compass's powers, but they were cursed because of their greed. Seeing his own people fall into ruin, Cranberry decided to split the compass into seven parts to avoid the repetition of the Luffian fate, hiding six Marvelous Compass pieces and keeping one with himself in Rapturous Ruins. For a thousand years, Cranberry awaited a hero to complete the Marvelous Compass and save Princess Eclair. Luigi turned out to be this noble-hearted hero, and Cranberry promptly gave him the last compass piece. His purpose fulfilled, Cranberry then faded away with a joyful smile.

Cranberry is similar to Merlumina in many ways. Both are members of ancient civilizations who slept for unthinkable amounts of time awaiting heroes to accept the fragments of treasure they held.

Cranky Kong's great grandfather

Template:Quote2 Cranky Kong's great grandfather was briefly mentioned by Bazaar in Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!.

Curtis is a person supposedly known by Tommy Treehugger personally, as in the Club Mario episode accompanying "The Unzappables", Tommy says hi to his mom, Curtis, and Luke.

Dark Dirk

Dark Dirk is mentioned as being the evil twin and mortal enemy of the superhero Dirk Drain-Head.

Dark Mage

The Dark Mage is a character mentioned in the English localization of Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars. The only thing known about the Dark Mage is that he sent Culex to Mario's universe to fight on his behalf, though it turns out that Mario's world is uninhabitable by his kind. The Dark Mage is a possible reference to the iconic Black Mage class that appears throughout the Final Fantasy series. He is unmentioned in the Japanese version. The remake also implies that he used evil magic to create Culex in the first place.

Diane Flossy

Diane Flossy is the author of the book Mega Moles In The Mist that is seen in Flown the Koopa. While Mario and Luigi are in the Mega Moles' lair, they go through several books until finding one titled Mega Moles In The Mist by Diane Flossy. In the book, Diane Flossy says that they made a startling discovery about the Mega Moles, in which they bring people to their lair only to shower them with gifts and overfeed them with no way of escaping. Mario and Luigi quickly realize their fate before they find out what the Mega Moles do to their victims, leading to a Game Over. Diane Flossy is a parody of Dian Fossey, who was a gorilla researcher. The Mega Moles In The Mist book is also named after Gorillas in the Mist.

DJ Toad

DJ Toad is a character briefly mentioned in Paper Mario when looking behind the board in front of Merlon's house. He works for the FM Shroom.

Dr. Claw

Dr. Claw is a character who appears as the main villain in the TV show Inspector Gadget. He is briefly mentioned in The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!, where in the episode "Defective Gadgetry" when Inspector Gadget becomes a jumbled up mess of body parts after Mario and Luigi try to fix him, Inspector Gadget sternly asks Mario and Luigi about how long they have been working for Dr. Claw.

Eddie Pasternak

Eddie Pasternak is briefly mentioned in the Game Boy issue "Pipes is Pipes". Implied to be a classmate of Michael Hallis and Jonathan, Michael brings up that Eddie told him he saw Mario "flying down the streets" and that he can be summoned from a Game Boy, but Jonathan dismisses Eddie as an idiot.

Flight

Flight is a friend of Lakilester (whom he calls by his nickname, "Spike") in the game Paper Mario. When Flight learns that Lakilester was helping Mario, he sends Lakilester a letter saying he will not forgive him unless he defeats Bowser, which Flight doubted would ever happen.

Japanese	フライト[?] Furaito	Flight

Fluffy

Fluffy was Wario's pet hamster who died in the year 1986, as explained in a Wario's Warehouse article.

Footsteps of Meat

Footsteps of Meat is a character (possibly a Sammer Guy) mentioned by Tippi in Super Paper Mario. When using her Tattle on Footsteps of Coins, she reveals that he has a lesser-known brother called Footsteps of Meat. This may be a reference to Bowser's ability to collect meat in his intermissions of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door and how Footsteps of Coins puts coins in all levels, implying that Footsteps of Meat disperses the meat throughout Bowser’s levels.

Four heroes

The four heroes were a quartet of unnamed characters who sealed away the Shadow Queen one thousand years prior to the events of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. They consisted of a strong Toad from Petal Meadows, a wise Goomba from Boggly Woods, a scar covered, world traveling Koopa, and a cold Boo. They learned of the evil Shadow Queen and teamed up to defeat her. They managed to seal the demon, but just before the fight was completed, she cursed them. If they ever let go of the Crystal Stars, a black chest would appear and lock them away for all eternity.

The heroes knew the seal on the Shadow Queen was only temporary, and they wanted the stars available to one who might need them. They made a Magical Map to the stars, and to stop evil from using it, they put it in a box that could only be opened by the pure of heart. The merchant in the opening scene of the game has the box and gives it to Princess Peach.

The Toad was exhausted from his journey and collapsed in Petal Meadows. A healer saved him, but knowing his fate, the Toad gave them his Crystal Star and asked them to hide it where nobody would find it. His box is in Hooktail Castle. The Goomba knew the Punies were being terrorized by the nearby monsters, so she hollowed out the Great Tree. She gave the Emerald Star to the Punies where they have been keeping it safe for the past thousand years. Her chest is in Rogueport Sewers. The Koopa went to hide the Sapphire Star in Keelhaul Key, but Cortez came and easily took it for himself. The Koopa was so tired he did not stand a chance. His chest is in the Pirate's Grotto. The Boo hid the Ruby Star in Creepy Steeple, and her box is in a shop's storage room in Twilight Town.

One by one, Mario finds the chests and opens them with the Black Keys, releasing them and letting them "curse" Mario with new powers. While the others appear to be taunting Mario, the Koopa one at least did not appear evil, as he is rehearsing the speech. After they "curse" Mario, they vanish and are neither seen nor mentioned again. Mario can also pay Grifty to hear the story of their adventure and how they came to be trapped in the black chests.

Genghis Koopa

Genghis Koopa was an ancestor of Bowser mentioned in the Nintendo Adventure Book Double Trouble. When Mario is pursuing Iggy Koopa down the hallway inside Fort Koopa, he accidentally bumps into a statue of Genghis Koopa, causing it to fall over and shatter. A mouse then crawls out of the statue and scurries away. He is most likely a parody of notorious Mongol leader Genghis Khan.

Globox

Globox is Rayman's best friend and a major character in the Rayman franchise. He is mentioned by the Phantom in his song, "Phantom Returns", in the Rayman in the Phantom Show DLC for Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope, during which he derides Rayman by stating that his friendship with Globox is getting weaker.

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. Grandma Mia, however, may even be another name for Grandma Mario, as Mama Mario is often referred to as "Mama Mia" by Mario and Luigi, and Mario once stated that his grandmother's full name is Grandmama Mia Mario.

Grandpapa

Grandpapa is Mario and Luigi's grandfather, who was briefly mentioned by Mario at San Diego Comic-Con 2012, implying that his real name is actually Grandpapa Pio Mario before cutting himself short.

After hanging up, even though he was mad and yelling at her over the phone, he breaks the fourth wall to say, "Gotta love Great Aunt Grouchy." During the phone call, Cranky also states that he is her favorite nephew. Her name is synonymous with the word "cranky."

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.

Little is known about Hamma Jamma's father, other than being one of Hamma Jamma's many family members that 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 seemed 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 is 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 is a Hammer Bro of unknown name, brought up by his grandson several times in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. He actually first appears as an unknown Hammer Bro in Super Mario Bros.

Hamma Jamma, a fighter in the Glitz Pit and member of the Hamma, Bamma, & 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.

Hamma Jamma stated that World 7-1 from Super Mario Bros. is his grandfather's "'hood".

Handerson

Handerson is the speaker in the EJIA phone call in WarioWare Gold. A self-described "hand model" and "finger actor", Handerson heavily implies to be the character that the hand seen in the microgames Butterfingers and Right in the Eye pertains to. Handerson claims the most difficult role they landed was catching a hot toast out of a toaster "15 years ago", referencing the Butterfingers microgame in WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!, released 15 years before WarioWare Gold. In WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!, he was referred to as Baby Handerson.

Heroes of Buffness

See also: Mount Pajamaja § Heroes of Buffness

The Heroes of Buffness, also referred to as Muscle Lords, are powerful fighters mentioned in Mario & Luigi: Dream Team. Throughout Mount Pajamaja, various monuments can be found dedicated to the Heroes of Buffness with stone slabs giving a description about their history. Additionally, the Massif Bros. mistake the Mega Pi'illos for Muscle Lords.

Heronicus' Flopside Counterpart

Heronicus' Flopside Counterpart is mentioned by a few characters in Super Paper Mario (mainly Hatch). He is a brave explorer who went hunting for a legendary Pixl but his partner's game ended while Heronicus' Flopside counterpart saved the Pixl, so he continued exploring solo. The Pixl he rescued turned out to be Piccolo who was found in his house. Heronicus contrasts from what his counterpart did and rescued his partner while his legendary Pixl presumably died. Because of this, he and his partner retired out of depression. Flamm sells Maps left behind by Heronicus' Flopside Counterpart. His name is not mentioned at any point of the game nor is he even seen.

Hizza

Hizza is a giant, two-headed snake that Luigi fights during his adventure to assemble the Marvelous Compass and rescue Princess Eclair. In Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, the people of Plumpbelly Village are forced to sacrifice young maidens to the monstrous snake Hizza. Eventually, the mayor's daughter is the next to be sacrificed. As such, Luigi puts on the young woman's dress and travels (with his new partner Jerry) to Hizza's lair. During the epic battle that follows, Luigi manages to trick Hizza's two heads into eating each other, thus destroying the creature for all eternity as well as gaining a piece of the Marvelous Compass. As a result, the citizens of Plumpbelly Village no longer have to live in fear.

Johnson (Airship crewman)

Johnson is a character who was alluded to briefly in Paper Mario: Color Splash.

A member of the airship near the Crimson Tower, Johnson was supposed to lift the anchor tethering the ship once they have drained the Crimson Tower and the surrounding area of its color. However, by the time they were due to leave, he had clearly neglected to do so, causing the airship to jolt and freeze in place, resulting in at least one Shy Guy falling off the bucket down to the tower, as well as the captain chewing out Johnson for his incompetence before asking Mario to untether the anchor.

Johnson (X-Naut)

Johnson

Johnson is an X-Naut trooper who appears briefly in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door.

After Mario beats a tutorial battle with Lord Crump (in an attempt to save Goombella from him), the disgruntled X-Naut official summons several of his henchmen to attack Mario and his new friend. Goombella and Mario manage to escape the melee safely, leaving the X-Nauts to pummel Lord Crump. Angrier than ever, Crump calls off his force to realize that his enemies had escaped.

Pixl Queen

The Pixl Queen is an unseen Pixl spoken of in Super Paper Mario. This rebellious Pixl is only talked about in four of Carson's stories, though quite a bit is revealed about her in these.

Despite the Pixl Queen being the first Pixl ever created, she seemed to stay largely quiet for what is thought to be 1,000 years after the creation of the Pixls 3,000 years before the setting of Super Paper Mario. However, seemingly long after the passing of her creator (the powerful magician who invented the process of Pixl-making), the Pixl Queen (then of an unknown name) finally rose into power, renaming herself with her only known name of "Pixl Queen." She then began to use her powers of mind control to manipulate all Pixls, causing them to eventually enslave most of the Tribe of Ancients (who were ironically once their masters) in her name. However, the owners of the magician's twelve original Pixl creations managed to somehow escape this Pixl Uprising and started to fight against the rebellious Pixls, containing them within Catch Cards and healing them. In the end, only one of these heroic Ancients survived, and he traveled with only his Pixl friends to the Pixl Queen's castle.

Once he arrived at the stronghold, he confronted the dark Pixl Queen herself, who immediately hid from the hero and shot a barrage of disturbing images to his mind telepathically. Although this greatly weakened the Ancient hero, one of his Pixls helped him through the tragedy and ended up defeating the Pixl Queen itself, although it was destroyed in the process of doing so. Afterwards, it was shockingly revealed to the hero who owned the Pixl that the Pixl Queen was the first created of the Pixls (perhaps created even earlier than the magician's so-called "original" twelve Pixls) and that the magician's motives for creating her involved the study of the Dark Prognosticus. The Ancient survivor, attempting to stop such a tragedy as the Pixl Uprising from ever happening again, then took the Dark Prognosticus with himself to unknown parts, likely founding the Tribe of Darkness known to once have possessed the dark book. Afterwards, the Pixl Queen's mutinous efforts led to the fall of the Tribe of Ancients and the outlawing of Pixl creation.

Though these are the only known actions of the seemingly late Pixl Queen, more is indeed known about the Pixl herself. Although the spirit united with the Pixl vessel that formed the Pixl Queen had previously been described as "demonic", Carson later stated that a certain one of the magician's apprentices books revealed that the Pixl Queen's spirit was actually derived from a human rather than a demon. It was on this principle that Carson theorized that the Pixl Queen's spirit may have been that of the magician's own daughter (who did indeed get a Game Over during her father's life due to a deathly illness), although he later seemed to have not been sure about this theory in his statement that the author disavowed it. It is also unknown if the Pixl Queen had any helpful ability, although she was indeed able to control all Pixls and used the power of telepathy in her battle against the Ancient survivor, making these possible ability candidates.

During Luigi's adventure, he fell in love with Princess Eclair.

The Toilet King

Toad's wife

Toad's wife is mentioned in an interview with Toad in issue 135 of the UK-based Nintendo Official Magazine. Toad mentions in the interview that he found his wife sleeping with a Bob-omb after coming home from the Mario Party 3 set, which led to a "messy" divorce and him paying alimony.

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 Toad-based robotic villain in the series, and the henchman of Toad Force V's arch-nemesis, the Spore King.

When Mario, Luigi, Princess 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.

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 him, 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 is a villainous (and possibly minor) henchman; despite this statement, Junk was all out of his 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 states 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

A glimps of Wario's parents in Super Mario-kun.

Wario's mother makes a brief appearance in a 4-koma from Super Mario-kun volume 10, set during Wario's childhood. Alongside her husband, she scolds her son for returning from the playground full of bruises and scratches and punishes him by tying him up to a pillar of their house. When Wario's parents decide to go outside to eat, Wario overhears them and follows them asking if he can come along, still tied to the pillar, destroying the house and angering his parents more. In these panels, only the father's arm and the mother's legs are shown.

Wario's mother is briefly mentioned during the events of Mario Power Tennis. During the blooper reel of Wario lifting weights, she calls him on his cell phone. He then replies "Hello? Ma, I told you not to call me today! I'm making a movie..." as Waluigi tells the crew to cut.

Wario's mother is also heard of in Wario's Warehouse on the website for 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.

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

Watchoverer

The Watchoverer is a deity revered by the Nommons of Pi'illo Island in Mario & Luigi: Dream Team. When Starlow assumed the Nommons revered the petrified Pi'illos as deities, they corrected her by stating that they actually revere the Watchoverer and that the petrified Pi'illos are just their playthings. It is heavily implied that the Watchoverer is actually the Zeekeeper.

Watt's mother

Watt's mother is mentioned multiple times in Paper Mario. Watt often tells Mario about her. Additionally, she sends Watt a letter, which the player can read when visiting the Toad Town Post Office. Her name is unknown. However, Watt's Pause Menu Screen description reads: "The child of Li'l Sparky", which might mean Watt's mother's name is Li'l Sparky. However, this may only refer to her species rather than her name.
