The '''Mario Bros.' House''', also known as '''Mario's House''' or '''Mario's Pad''', is a modest, cozy house that appears in some ''[[Mario (franchise)|Mario]]'' games. Though its appearances are mostly found in earlier, typically spin-off games and installments, it does make occasional appearances in the modern-day series in games such as ''[[Paper Mario: Color Splash]]''. Throughout the games, the layout as well as the location of the house seem to change, although it always provides a minor role in the storyline, particularly the prologue. The house can actually be explored in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'' and ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions]]'', in which it contains a bathroom, upstairs bedroom, and kitchen. More often than not, however, the house has one room, a living area, with the interior seldom explored.

 

The first scene of ''[[Super Mario Bros.: Peach-hime Kyūshutsu Dai Sakusen!]]'' takes places in what appears to be the living room of the house. Mario plays a video game on a [[Family Computer]] late at night, to Luigi's chagrin, who goes off to bed. On the screen, the player character is replaced by [[Princess Peach]], escaping from ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' enemies through the television. [[Bowser|King Koopa]] emerges from the television, and he knocks Mario through a hole in the floor and brings Peach back through the television. Before Mario can give chase, a "[[Game Over]]" screen stops him. Luigi, awake, checks the disturbance and rejects Mario's story. After Luigi leaves, Mario finds the [[Brooch]] that the princess was wearing around her neck, holding it tightly and reassured that the encounter was real.

In ''[[Super Mario Kart]]'' adapatation of [[Super Mario (Kodansha manga)|Kodansha's ''Super Mario'' manga]], Mario and Luigi construct [[kart]]s outside of their home after accidentally breaking an item of [[Mushroom King|the king]]'s while plumbing.

In ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'', the house is named '''Mario's Pad''' and is connected to [[Vista Hill]] to the west and [[Mushroom Way]] to the east. It has a sign that reads "'''PipeHouse'''" and sits in a small forested area. The interior of the house is a single room with 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|Bowser's Keep]]. [[Toad]], who was waiting for Mario and [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]] outside, rushes into Mario's Pad. However, instead of helping Mario, Toad quips, "Lots of people use something called a 'door' to go in and out of their houses." [[Dry Bones]] of the [[3 Musty Fears]] hides his flag under Mario's bed.

The intro of ''[[Wrecking Crew '98]]'' shows Mario returning home from a vacation. Bowser has been conducting a constructing campaign of building high-rises in the Mushroom Kingdom, one of which casts a large shadow on Mario's house which wilts his flowers. He then enters his house to retrieve his mighty blue hammer to demolish the building.

In ''[[Paper Mario]]'', the house is named '''Mario's House''' and is located a short distance to the west of [[Peach's Castle|Princess Peach's Castle]], though it can be reached only via a [[Warp Pipe]] in [[Toad Town]]. It has a secret basement that [[Luigi]] had added to the house, as he thought Mario would not find [[Luigi's Diary|the former's diary]] there. Mario is able to check his battle statistics (as well as other statistics) and his mail here; he is even able to rest in his bed in ''Paper Mario''. Mario can commonly come and visit his house, and he is able to see Luigi doing something different every time, whether it be standing outside or writing in his diary. In ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', the house does not change much, but it has a red and green theme, such as the red and green coffee mugs and toothbrushes. In ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'', Mario has pictures of his [[partner]]s from the previous two games, but the house is otherwise unchanged. In ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'', it is named the '''Mario Bros.' House''', as titled by its theme.

In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'', Mario and Luigi's house is seen in the opening where the worried Toad arrives to tell the Mario Bros. that Princess Peach's voice had been stolen. This version has a kitchenette, a loft that has the two brothers' beds, a big portrait of Princess Peach, and a bathroom.

In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions]]'', the interior of the house has been changed, now including cameos from previous ''Mario'' titles.

At the very end of ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Movie]]'', the Mario Bros.' House appears as part of [[Toad Town]] where [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] take up residence after defeating [[Bowser]]. Near the house is a direct [[Warp Pipe]] to [[Brooklyn]].
