Mario's House

From the Super Mario Wiki

Inside Mario's Pad.

Mario's House is the home of Mario and Luigi. During the events of Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars, it is named Mario's Pad and is connected to Vista Hill to the west and Mushroom Way to the east. The actual house itself is named the Pipe House and sits in a small forested area. The interior of the house has a bed, a Fungi Light, a cuckoo clock, and a change of clothes hanging on the wall. Outside, several large wrenches are hanging up on the side of the house. Additionally, the house has a huge pipe sticking out of the roof. In fact, Mario falls through this pipe after Exor crashes into Bowser's Castle. Toad, who was waiting for Mario and Princess Toadstool outside, rushes into the Pipe House. However, instead of helping Mario, Toad remarks "Lots of people use something called a 'door' to go in and out of their houses."

Mario's home was renamed Mario's House in the Paper Mario series and Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga. It is basically a bigger version of the one in Super Mario RPG. The version in Paper Mario has a secret basement, where Luigi keeps his diary. Mario is able to check his battle statistics and his mail here, in Paper Mario. He is even able to rest in his bed. Mario can commonly come and visit his house, and is able to see Luigi doing something different everytime, whether it be standing outside, or writing in his dairy.

Mario's House with Mario's Hat as the house roof.

In Dance Dance Revolution: Mario Mix, Mario and Luigi's house had, depending on which brother was selected, a huge Mario or Luigi hat for a roof. There also was a river just down the path that flooded.

In Super Paper Mario, Mario has pictures of his Partners from the previous two games.

[edit] Appearances in Other Media

Mario's House is shown several times in the Club Nintendo comic series. It makes its first appearance in "Süße Weihnachten". As the comic is set around Christmas, the house is decorated in a Christmassy style, and also has a Christmas tree. It resembles Mario's Pad from Super Mario RPG, as it is a very small house with apparently only one room. At the time of the comic's setting, Mario is not at home, but the door is opened. Bowser takes this chance to steal some sweets.

In "Super Mario: Im Rausch der Geschwindigkeit", not much of Mario's house is seen, but it appears to be much larger than in its previous comic appearance. It also has a bathroom (just like in the later comic "Super Mario: Die Verwandlung"). The fact that it is multistory may imply that Mario lives in an apartment during the events of this comic.

"Super Mario: Coole Klänge" shows for the first time that Mario and Luigi live in the same house. The comic also shows a radio, a saxophone and several guitars in their home.

Mario's House as seen in "Super Mario: Verloren in der Zeit".

The story "Super Mario: Verloren in der Zeit" even reveals the location of Mario's House, Pilzgasse 13, which translates to Mushroom Alley. Another possible translation would be Mushroom Way - the area near Mario's Pad in Super Mario RPG, though this similarity is probably coincidental. The house in the comic is very big compared to its counterpart in the games, and is covered with ivy. Not much is known about the inside, except that Mario has a TV.

Finally, the house is shown again in "Warios Weihnachtsmärchen". In this comic, it is painted white and has a red door which reads "MARIO" in large letters. Nothing is known about it otherwise, except that it is decorated similar to the house in "Süße Weihnachten".
