Profile[]

Physical description[]

His appearance resembles his sons, Mario and Luigi with brown hair, eyebrows and moustaches.

Personality[]

At first, he isn't supportive of his sons' decision to forego their high-paying job at the construction company to start their own business. He also shows some protectiveness towards Luigi, saying that Mario's decisions to start their own business was dragging him down with him. This might be because Luigi used to be bullied back when he was a child and Mario always stood up for him. He also lacks self-awareness, not knowing that he had hurt Mario's feelings after he leaves the dinner table until everyone in their family started giving him looks for it.

Despite his criticism towards Mario, Pio genuinely cares for both of his sons, as he demonstrates this when Mario and Luigi save Brooklyn from Bowser and his army, commenting how proud he was of him. Additionally, he and his wife reacted in horror when they were briefly eaten by a Piranha Plant. He later praised his sons after they saved Brooklyn.

Biography[]

He is the father of Mario and Luigi residing in Brooklyn.
