'''Mario and Luigi's father''', presumably '''Mr. Mario''' or '''Papa Mario''', is [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]]'s father. He is a wide-set man, similar in frame to Mario. None of his appearances gave him a speaking role and his face has never been seen. At the time of his sons' births, Mario and Luigi's father was living in a small mushroom-shaped house in the [[Mushroom Kingdom]] with [[Mama Mario]], though it is not confirmed that they were married. He smoked a pipe while his sons were toddlers, and wore a tucked-in collared shirt during the day, and a nightshirt and slippers to bed. All other aspects of his life, including his current appearance, personality, residence, and relationship with the boys, are unknown.

==Biography==
===[[Super Mario Amada|''Super Mario Amada'' series]]===
Papa Mario first appeared in the [[Super Mario Amada|''Super Mario Amada'' series]] adaptation of [[Issunboshi]].  In this version of Mario's birth, the baby was miraculously born in Papa and Mama Mario's household when a [[Shooting Star|shooting star]] passed over the small dwelling.  Mario was extremely tiny, smaller than Papa Mario's hand.  The couple raised the baby, but to their amazement the child did not grow taller and bigger as he aged.  He simply remained tiny.  One day, Mario convinced his parents that he was old enough to explore the world alone, despite his small size.  Papa and Mama Mario eventually agreed, allowing their son to pursue his own adventures around the globe.
 
===[[Yoshi (series)|''Yoshi's Island'' series]]===
===[[Yoshi (series)|''Yoshi's Island'' series]]===
Mario and Luigi's father first appeared in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'', when he and his supposed wife found [[Baby Mario]] and [[Baby Luigi]] on their doorstep, whom were delivered by the [[stork]]. Unaware that his sons had just been rescued from the [[Koopa Troop]] by the [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshis]], Mr. Mario held Luigi aloft (Mama Mario had Mario), and entered the world of parenthood.
Mario and Luigi's father appeared at the end ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'', when he and his supposed wife found [[Baby Mario]] and [[Baby Luigi]] on their doorstep, whom were delivered by the [[stork]]. Unaware that his sons had just been rescued from the [[Koopa Troop]] by the [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshis]], Mr. Mario held Luigi aloft (Mama Mario had Mario), and entered the world of parenthood.


However, the babies were not yet out of danger, and were kidnapped once more by [[Kamek]] in the middle of the night during the events of ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]'', causing a great commotion in the Mario household. But while Papa and Mama Mario knew that their children were in peril this time, they were still powerless against the Koopas, and the Yoshis saved the day once again. The stork returned the babies, and although it was not the end of their adventures (as babies or as adults), their father has not made another in-game appearance (not counting the [[Game Boy Advance]] port of ''Yoshi's Island'': ''[[Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3|Super Mario Advance 3]]'').
