SwankyBox personally I think this stretches this a bit. unless a picture of the blue yellow guy appeared in a game I would probably 100% accept this theory
That was my natural assumption when I read the title. It was also what I was leaning towards from the beginning remember the old style Mario humor I saw on old VHS
Mario's grandpa being a barber could also explain why his family is so fixated on stylish mustaches. It was his grandpa's signature style as barber's also shaved people
no no, its grand dad, and sponge is a brother, sponge and grand dad are in the same family as mario and luigi but mario and luigi are most popular of the family tree because mario and luigi rescue princesses (and are also the happiest) and sponge would be one of the unpopulars of the family tree because most of his life is just depression, hence why he chose "orange" as it is a lonely colour. pretzel was actually a friend of Mario that was never told, not even Luigi knew. mario only told sponge and then they just covered up that evidence of "befriended the red plumber" with family, instead of friendship. grand dad was one of the sorta populars of the family tree, and the man in the video wears yellow and blue (a lighter colour than Sponges, thus sponge is no longer a suspect of being mama mia italian mans father) and grand dad, has no yellow but he has blue, in fact kinda alot of blue. grand dad actually has a white head, but in every photo we see marios father in, he has pale skin colour. why is that? well, it's actually surprisingly simple. he paid some shiny coins for some shiny, yet deadly, pale skin colour face paint. how is it deadly? he died because of it around 40 years after he first used it, why did he use it around 40 years ago? when mario was born, obviously. nintendo says mario and luigi are in their 20s but i think they are in their 30s. now obviously they could be in their 20s somehow, but still. he died after around 30-40 years after first using the pale coloured face paint. theorys say wario and waluigi are cousins to mario and luigi, but wario is actually the father of Sponge, and waluigi is the father of pretzel. remember, wario and waluigi are from different families. anyway, grand dad is marios father or grandfather and sponge is marios brother. HOLY SHIT THATS ONE OF THE LONGEST COMMENTS IVE WROTE THAT ISNT SPAM
"if the old donkey kong in the arcades is now cranky kong, should Pauline have aged too?" i think we might have forgotten that humans live longer than apes
Marios grandfather was immortal, he had been alive since the prehistoric age. He was only killed after having an axe split into his head by a mysterious Swedish man
Haha. Except since Fred Flinstone is from a long time ago so he would be his ancestor or like great great great great great great great great great great granddad
I did. It wasn't that hard. But still the ammount of Grand Dad comments is hilarious. I was about to make that joke, but the first thing I saw was a Grand Dad comment that provented me to do so.
There's actually a few non Grand Dad comments. But let's be honest. With a title that says Mario's Grandfather, he is just begging for Grand Dad comments.
This theory is stupid and a grand lie. Mario is Jumpman. And Donkey Kong Jr takes place right after the original Donkey Kong. How can Mario in Donkey Kong Jr can be the grandfather? Shiguro Myamotto never confirm Jumpman is Mario dad. What I do know Shiguro Miyamotto and the rest of Nintendo team confirm is, Mario is Jumpman. In Smash Bros series, in trophy gallery section, go to the Mario trophy figure, and it says Mario originated in the arcade game Donkey Kong.
Interesting video. I have this same meal tray, I had it from when I was very young, about 3 or 4 so '90-'91. I've always wondered about that because the entire thing as a whole is very strange.
don't be dumb, the stork story is nothing more than a tactic used by parents in order to dodge the where do babies come from question when the older sibling asked where the younger sibling came from.
This video was asking for Grand Dad jokes the very instant it was uploaded, you don't even have to click on it to know it's inspired by Grand Dad. But i'll watch it anyway, I love this dude's videos.
Now I'm imagining a bizarre original concept for Dr. Mario as a medieval barber-surgeon, involving drilling a hole in a plague victim's head and throwing different colored leeches into the patient's brain to get the demons out
Hey Swanky, this is a weird question, but who's upload of Peach-Hime and the Amada series did you use? My friend EverythingSuperMario did remasters of Peach-Hime and the first Amada film.
I have a different theory the two Mario's pulling up D.K was Mario's father and Wario's/ waluigi father too I know it's far fetched but just think about it
I think you should take into account the life span of humans vs apes. Cranky Kong may appear very old, but it's possible he and Mario/Jumpman could be the same age without both showing extreme signs of aging.
I kind of noticed when you said "techno city" you showed Bowser's Techno City and "medieval castles" you showed peach's castle. Maybe Peach is trying to keep it medieval, and Bowser is trying to bring in new innovation. IDK, maybe you could do a theory on that.
when I was young, I thought Dr. Mario was Mario and Luigi's father. And since Mario has more or less been confirmed to be their last names, Dr. Mario could have an entirely different first name
I think Kong in the Mario universe have a different way to grow, the king who start as a kid then she became a teenager. So I think Yellow Mario is his father, and JumpMan is Mario, the second Mario is Luigi and there is only one Pauline.
Actually, that's an orange shirt in that painting of 'his father' Because blue and orange are complimentary. So are Red and Green (Mario + Luigi) So are Yellow and Purple (Wario + Waluigi) It's called consistency.
Also, just putting this out there, the Live Action Mario Bros are stated (In the intro) to not be 'the others who get all the fame.' Meaning they are not the Mario Brothers we know. Also, nothing in the Super Show is canon - Confirmed.
Emeraldmaniac1390 Mario and Luigi are twin brothers, so they have one grandfather only, by the looks of it. I'm sure we'd hear much more about him if the mario franchise was a story with a proper timeline and stuff, but sadly it is not.
What about the Donkey Kong Circus theory that MatPat did on the Game Theorists channel? It was one of them Game and Watch games where Mario used a whip to keep Donkey Kong juggling barrels while balancing on one, or something like that.
Hey Ain't it cool bullshit No, it’s not about opinions! It’s about seeing this man everywhere I go! HE IS EVERYWHERE! You probably don’t understand me, but please do!
I always wondered, did Link how long was Link in the Kokiri Forest. Like did he stop ageing around he was physicly nine, or was he there for only nine years?
People tend to exaggerate on the Jumpman is Mario's father theory. I mean it's been many times stated that it's literally Mario in Donkey Kong, his name was there and there are throwbacks to DK from time to time. Cranky is Donkey Kong's grandfather as gorillas age faster than humans. From the looks of it the color scheme plus the pipe in the picture clearly indicate it is in fact Mario's father. The character that was the main villain in Donkey Kong Jr. is also Mario himself.
considering kirby is an alien (if you believe what the anime says) he may not even have parents in the first place, who knows how alien procreation works
I’ve been wondering the past few days about Knuckles the Echidna’s immediate lineage. The whole Chaos deal happened a very long time ago, so what happened to Knuckles’ immediate ancestors such that he is the last? Who taught him what he knows and gave him his role if he is the last?
Grand Dad jokes aside, with these characteristics... Could we be looking at a Dr. Mario?
Yes!
Not in the slightest, no real evidence to it
SwankyBox personally I think this stretches this a bit. unless a picture of the blue yellow guy appeared in a game I would probably 100% accept this theory
Plumber mario, Super mario/drug mario#mushrooms, metal mario,tiny mario, mega mario, Barber mario, Carpenter mario,karting mario, tennis player mario, smash bros fighter mario, gol mario,Ninja mario, samurai mario, sandwich mario, bowling pin mario, bowling ball mario, sports star mario, Mario world mario, cartoon 64 mario, galaxy traveler mario, baby mario, and animal abuser mario.

Mario and Luigi don't have biological parents. They were delivered by the stork.
Stork children still contain the DNA of their parents.
