Based on the forgettable Super Mario Bros. film, Mario is the last name of Mario and his younger brother, Luigi. Despite that, according to legendary Nintendo designer and Super Mario creator Shigeru Miyamoto, Mario and Luigi don’t even have a last name.
People considered that horrible movie as canonical basis for their names? Unless it comes from the creators mouth. Horrible movies mean jack squat.
i think they HAVE a last name but its not yet decided yet kinda like how people say that jesus’ last name is christ when its not so maybe its the mario BROS and luigi BROS with “bros” as there last name
Uh… I don’t think we can assume that when Miyamoto is saying they don’t have a last name. When they announce a last name, then you will be partially right, but for now they don’t have one at all. (Not even one to be revealed later unless they do, in which case, you are right about that)
Jesus did have a last name: “Of Nazareth”. In ancient times, people’s last names were either determined by lineage (“Joshua the son of Nun“), occupation (Simon the Sorcerer), personal characteristics (Eric the
Red), or location (Joan of Arc). Some of these persist in modern surnames: for instance, you might have a friend named Danny England, etc.
Wow you know your fairy tales sir
You mean history, right? Because he just spoke of history, dimwit.
The three little pigs, and the odyssey are also great historical stories lol
funny but alan is right that was how people were referred to in ancient times in fact that is where the whole -son thing comes from like robinson(robin’s son), ericson(eric’s son) etc. get it by taking away of or the and continuous alteration to language surnames kinda took on different meanings it why some people have names like well england and what not cause it has to do with a ancestor who had something to do with england also the jury is still out on how much of the odyssey is fictional and fact
They know the trojan wars happen thats for sure and some of his travels but im pretty sure posiden nor a cyclops are non fictional characters. Heck the arthor i believe his name was homer probably was inspired stories either happened or current for his time. Like the cyclops myth dates a little older than odyssey and the tales were inspirations of giant elephant bones as for posiden they were just ways back than of explaining the storms,tides,whirlpool and sea storms at that time period.
“Van der” is a better modern example for example “Van Der” means “from the” in Dutch “Van Der Velt” would be from the farm
Then Mario of mushroom kingdom shall be
… You do realise ‘bros.’ is short for ‘brothers’?
Well, if it is the only source then whatelse should we think? I am glad it wasn’t, because Mario Mario sounded awkward.
I liked the theatrical movie “Super Mario Bros.” and I did not find it horrible. As for the surname Mario, it was mentioned in live-action segments of the “Super Mario Bros. Super Show” produced years before the theatrical movie.
Alright.
lol there is a movie about Mario and their surnames are Mario. Basically Mario Mario and Luigi Mario
My life is a lie!!!!
Nooooo!! I’ve been calling them Mario Mario and Luigi Mario all this time! Now I look like an idiot!
CANT TELL IF TROLLING OR SEXUAL MOLESTED AS KD?
yeah yeah yeah, more Wii Us when?
Somebody gets me! I might cry myself to sleep tonight (no, seriously)
Dont cry there daddys here for you just rest your head on my lap and take deep breath ;)
Just read that in Nintendo Power haha!
Only news head line I want to see next: “WII U DELUXE PREORDERS BACK IN STOCK” Nintendo gods, make it happen!
you won’t be able to say that for long, sadly.
Well, see. Do you think they will have more pre orders before launch, or is that wishful thinking?
No, Nintendo power is ending soon.
They won’t, pre-orders are based on future shipment. Therefore that won’t happen because shipment is always decided before hand.
The headline I want to see (on this site) is “Retro Studios game revealed”.
That too. But if I don’t get a Wii U, it’s only salt on the wound, insult to injury, a kick while I’m down!
Get how I feel?
Yes I do. I couldn’t get a Wii because they were always sold out. Then by a stroke of luck I finally got one in 2007.
I had one day one.. And hopefully I will have a Wii U day 1 (Nov 30 for me) aswell :) I pre ordered to pre order ffs :S
WellIhopeweallgettheWiiUondayone.Thisgoeswithoutsaying,butleavelucktoheaven.
Well I hope we ALL get the Wii U on launch, bro.
This goes without saying, but leave luck to heaven.
Pre order one as soon as they come back in stock.
That’s the plan, man. I’m gunna be glued to the website more than before. Soon as I see the headline “More Pre orders available” I’m not even gunna read te article, I’ll head right for GameStop(probably call first!)!
That movie… Oh holy Arceus…
As much as I’d love to forget that movie as well, calling them “Mario Bros.” despite not having a last name is making Luigi’s existence yet more pointless.
Kinda like with the koopalings not bein the children of bowser
Thank god they confirmed this.
I think one day again, they should refer to Mario and Luigi as “Mister”! It might sound stupid but hell, we don’t want to forget the fact that they are two grown, very talented and intelligent men!
I always called them Mario Bros and Luigi Bros ._.
Mario Mario and Luigi Mario :)
Hey Jrod Jrod.
Whatever, where’s Smash Bros. 4?
Still being worked on.
I liked that movie v.v
Glad I’m not the only one!
It was an excellent spoof that has a good place in my memories.
OPEN MINDED PEOPLE YEAH :D
xD +1
Well considering they never had parents (as far as I know) I can understand them not having parents.
Curse you talking and typing at the same time…
“I can understand them not having last names” should have been the end of that sentence.
they were made from the stork “yoshi’s island created that idea”
I thought it was Brothers the whole bloody time!
Are you retarded?
They don’t need last names.
Mario miyamoto and Luigi miyamoto .
This^
I AGREE WITH THIS STATEMENT
:D
awesome.
:o
I’m pretty sure Mario was stated as their last name in Super Star Saga….
What point in the game do you learn that?
Explain…please.
seriously Luigi what kind of socks are those come on man
http://goo.gl/iWWHh
No.
News must be slow…
I know right.The weirdest part is that it doesn’t have news even though nintendo have showcased wii u and you’d think there would be additional news
9/11 a sham,E doesn’t equal Mc2 and there’s a limit to Infinity! but this I did not see coming
Don’t give a shit.
that movie is hilariously bad, how can you say its forgettable?
I always thought that Mario was their last name. Glad it’s been cleared up.
Isn’t Mario’s last name Plummer?
No it’s Scapaticci , Mario Scapaticci (made up)
Typical GAYTENDO with their fail character development.
NOW FEED ME MOTHERFUCKERS
Nope.avi

Wasn’t it Mario Mario and Luigi Mario?
DID YOU EVEN READ THE ARTICLE? NUTBALLFACE
And how is there baby Mario and baby Luigi? And Bowser Jr. I’m thinking the princess has a few skeletons in the closet ( Skeleton Jr? )
YOU AN IDIOT
Baby Mario and Baby Luigi are just younger versions of the Mario and Luigi (referenced in Mario and Luigi: Partners in Time)
Then why is it called Super Mario Bros.?
DAS WHAT I’M THINKING. IS HE LUIGI EVEN REMOTELY RELATED TO MARIO!!??!?! I THINK NOT!11!1!!1!!11!!
you know you can be born with no last name, its up to the parents.
What do you mean ness?
He’s a clone -___-
because mario & luigi are related.
Duh… There names are Mario and Luigi, but yet they are called the Mario Bros. You would expect their last name to be Mario. That’s the only logical reasoning.
you know you can be born with no last name, its all up to the parents.
Well think about it. When Mario and Luigi were born they were well… being delivered and bowser got in the way of that and they landed on yoshi’s island. Do they even know there parents?
The movie was terrible!
That is the general consensus.
Wow, something you said that I can agree on.
D’oh! Obviously the have a last name… Mario Miyamoto & Luigi Miyamoto.
As much as I hate to agree with that movie, the fact that they’re the ‘mario brothers’ does imply that their last name is Mario. Take, for example, if Tom cruise had a famous brother and they were a double act, they would be the Cruise brothers, not the ‘tom’ brothers cause that wouldn’t make sense.
I remember watching an old documentary from the 90’s on Youtube where there was a Nintendo worker who stated that the two brothers’ full names were: “Mario Mario” and “Luigi Mario”
Really, after watching that statement getting announced that early, I’m still not convinced that they don’t have any surnames.
Why does it even matter?
The last name is and luigi deal with it
Mario Jumpman & Luigi Jumpman

No matter what Miyamoto says, they’ll always be the Segale brothers to me.

Well in the mushroom kingdom do you Eben need last names??
Peach has a last name. Peach Toadstool.
Reblogged this on Gigable – Tech Blog.
Hahaha, this article made me lol :)
I think it’s better that they don’t have a last name. At least, its better than “Mario” as a last name.

What could serve as a last name is “Jumpman”, which was Mario’s original name. Though that doesn’t sound Italian.
