Hey everybody, sorry that I've been absent so long from the channel! I got a little burnt out at the end of last year and then I've been having some minor health issues, all of which added together to mean I wasn't getting as much RUclips work done as I'd like. But now I'm back!!!! I've got lots of other videos planned for the following weeks, so stay tuned for more! Thanks for sticking with me and being so kind and patient :)
Welcome back Thomas! Take it easy and don’t feel you need to churn out videos constantly - we’re a patient bunch (mostly 😅)
Thank You Thomas

well i'm new, hope you're doing ok
I can't believe Pietro abandoned his brothers at their time of need.
he's so heartless
@The One And Only Source?
@@DE23 bro for what?
@The One And Only maybe for you? Who created you?
The worst mario brother :(
It's truly sad to know that all three of these men (Lou Albano, Danny Wells and Vic Dunlop) are no longer with us! :( R.I.P.
NOT LOU ALBANO
@@kirbyanimation5915 unfortunately, he passed back on October 14, 2009
I didn't know this. I'm devastated. Thanks for completely ruining 2023, 2024, and 2029 for me. #supermario40thanniversary
@@JibrailJonesntire years don’t have to be completely ruined because 3 actors passed away. yes, i know it’s a shame, but it’s time to move on from that and focus on better things in life.
@@LoganL2008 IDK bout you, but ima celebrate the original Super Mario Bros game for all of ‘24 and the Super Show for all of ‘29. Now that I know the franchise is mired with death, I’ll be mourning during those years, too. We’re all free to mourn in our own ways! 😿 As the 30th anni of the original live-action SMB film, this year is also particularly bad for me, because we’ve already lost Bob Hoskins and Dennis Hopper. Such phenomenal actors gone too soon
Overtime I’ve grown to enjoy the Live action segments more than the animated ones. I actually wish they made more of these, I really love them.
Well considering the fact that Mario and Luigi's whole origin story is about being delivered by a stork, one that's pretty bad at her job considering that she lost them several times and the Yoshis had to do all the work, but also that she delivered them to the wrong parents the first time (as we learned in Yoshi's Island DS), she may totally have delivered the third Mario brother Pietro to the wrong family.
If they ever make a third Mario brother, this would be a pretty coherent backstory.
Actually, it wasn't in Yoshi's Island DS but in Yoshi's New Island !
Woah, I didn't know the stork was a girl.
@@WhatsItsName c'est parce qu'on est français, mon chou !
@@WhatsItsName Whoops my bad. I'm french and french doesn't have neutral pronouns. Well now it does but it's relatively new and I'm not used to it. So sometimes i forget about it and they and I use the pronouns we use in french a.k.a. she in the case of the stork since nouns are gendered in french, and stork is feminine. And the stork of the story is specifically female in our version of the story, likely because of that fact.
Sorry for the long and likely unecessary explanation ^^'
@@arobesparre4619 Whoops you're right my bad ^^'
He's returned!!
Honestly, I'm interested if we would see any sign of Pietro in the Mario Movie? I doubt it, but considering the different types of references and throwbacks the movie is already adding, I would be very surprised if something like this would show up!
never happening
Hahahahahahaha... no
I mean Charles martene did say he’d be voicing a secret character so……………
Nope
never say never
Actually, his name is Sponge. He comes from a classic Mario game, called Mario’s Mystery Meat. Pretty crazy.
@C: he's not real it was a hoax
@C: we love balugio
Don’t forget the honorary member, Pretzel, while not a Mario brother by blood he’s still as much of a brother to Sponge as any.
There is a third Mario brother. His name is Sponge - he wears an orange cap and soaks up all the sadness in the Mario world. He also walks on his giant handlebar mustache.
I instead rewatched Vinny's DYK-esque video on him
Files digged up from SM3DW on Wii U show that sponge was in fact, planned to debut in this game, probably using his mustache to fight off bowser's minions and save the sprixie kingdom.
Ah, there it is.
NO ITS EARIO
Spin
There was a gag in some UK gaming mags in the '80s that the third Mario brother was called "Alfredo", and some even pointed out that Stanley from Donkey Kong 3 was the Mario's much younger brother.
Isn't it Giuseppe like the Dorkly short? Lol
I'll get my coat
@@walker1984 umm... you forgot your hat.
First time hearing about him. This is what I like about Thomas Game Docs. He tells me things I don’t already know so that I learn something.
I remember this episode. It tripped me up in everything I knew about Mario, then the ending happened. Props to Luigi for being smart.
Pietro, Balugio, SPONGE... woo, the family tree's starting to get real crowded here...
You forget Regular Guiseppe!
The third Mario brother is obviously Peppino from Pizza Tower
They all represent the italian flag, so that logical
No it’s Balugio obviously.
Lario?
@@Darvoth based
No, Peppino is clearly a Wario brother
I like to think that Dr. Mario is the third brother, which fits good with the red, green, and white on the Italian flag 🇮🇹
Little did they know, but that was Wario in disguise as a long lost brother.
Funny you say that, as a kid I was told by a friend Wario was Mario's twin brother and I believed it for a good couple of years but one day I did some research and found out the truth.
@@billthewhovian i remember as a kid thinking warrior and waluigi were there cousins
Obviously the REAL third Mario brother is none other than Sponge, the saddest man in the world
Pietro would never do this I'm crying and shaking rn
I always liked how in the live action segments, Luigi was the smart one and Mario was the more gullible one. It was a nice counter to the animated segments where Mario was the brave one and Luigi was the more timid one.
@@justmeherethereandeverywhere I'd say it actually did carry over to other iterations of the franchise, just in a more subtle form. Luigi was the timid one in the animated segments because he was the smarter one; his being nervous and questioning the viability of whatever the heroes were doing was what distinguished him from the others' gung ho tendency to leap into action, and it's a trait that we see again in the RPGs and at the start of the new Mario movie. Sure, everything always works out in the end because Mario's the hero, but if we're being honest every time Luigi says something to the effect of "I knew this was a bad idea," he's pretty much correct. There's a reason that when he finally got his own dedicated game series, it wound up being predominantly puzzle-based.
Mario is the brawns
Luigi is the brain
Honestly Mario and Luigi seem like the type of people who would evade their taxes
To me the third brother will always be Spondage "Sponge" Mario
Pietro ran away and became wario.
That's actually a good theory, I should pin that somewhere.
Thomas!! I missed your videos so much :(
Glad to see you're okay and thank you for bringing us another great video
Game Theory:
Pietro is Dr. Mario’s Real Name!
You're living a fantasy. There is no easter bunny, there is no tooth fairy, and there is no 3rd Mario brother! -Nintendo
A big question for me is what colour you'd go with for the character. Mario is red and blue, Luigi green and blue. Purple and yellow are then taken by Wario and Waluigi. So what does that leave for a third brother? Orange? Turquoise? None of the options are as striking as the already-taken colours.
Next comes the dilemma of design. There's only so many variations of "moustache and overalls" you can do before it gets stale. Honestly, if I was designing a third Mario sibling, I'd go with a younger or older sister instead. Feels like there's much more room for creativity by going in that direction!
I would like go that way as well, I would go with a pinkish red for a sister and Light blue or white for a little brother.
Little off topic but I loved Mario and Luigi’s family dynamic in the live action parts.
The AlmightyConicalFlask Approves. As of now, Peitro has been welcomed into conical heaven.
If they DO add a 3rd Mario Brother, it better be the one, the only...
*GRAND DAD*
Good to see you again, Thomas!
He's back! :)
Pietro Mario should be a future antagonist.
I liked this episode as a kid a lot. The 70:30 joke had me dying as a kid i remember
Ok but, 5:35 that was really wholesome. This is why this was one of my favorite shows growing up.
I remember Connor the Waffle who is a RUclipsr and created the 3rd Mario Bros. Theory, he noticed that Mario and Luigi's shirts are the first and last color of the Italian flag, and Connor believes that if a 3rd Mario Bros. were to exist, his shirt would be white.
I remember this episode, it was a good one! Pietro is almost a predecessor to Wario
I can't believe we're talking about Sponge!
Can you imagine playing as Pietro in Mario Kart
he would have to be the only realistc 3D model
"There may come a time where Mario will need a third brother"
He said THIRD brother FOR Mario. This would imply Mario would have three brothers: Luigi, Baluigi, and Sponge( or Rick Astley)!
Welcome back Thomas (and happy Ramadan!) :D it’s good to have you back. I wish they animated Pietro in episode 28. :] Wonder how Peach *ahem* Toadstool and Toad would have reacted to a third Mario “brother”. Also I can’t tell you enough how much I adore the live action segments of the Super Show. Cheesy as it is, I just feel happy when I see it. May Lou Albano, Danny Wells, and Harvey Atkin all rest in peace.
I'm glad you took time for your health, I'm also really happy you're back! Your channel was always a huge inspiration to me
I miss Captain Lou so much. He was the best.
In my eyes, the real third Mario brother is actually Spike from the Wrecking Crew game! :)
This plotline and those jokes are actually decent. Makes me wish there was a way to go back and watch the show's episodes now. :)
(great vid, btw.)
Shout Factory did release the entire season of this on two DVD sets! There's even a complete DVD set of the Zelda cartoon too!
@@FoxMcCloudFF7 Very cool. I will check them out. Thanks. :)
Start of video : The mystery of the missing Mario brother.
End of video : There is no missing Mario brother.
Vic Dunlop (Pietro) was my grandfather. To this day he is still the best person I have ever known. RIP.
Has anyone else ever pondered if the third Mario sibling is a sister instead, or is it just me?
It might be,her name is Maria
Maybe in a future game, it'll be a customizable player character, with a default name something like Zaffiro, and a light blue wardrobe to contrast with the red and green.
@@Meshamu Or maybe she would be dressed in white, so when she stands in-between Mario and Luigi, it would look like the Italian flag?
It's Pauline, and all three of them are the children of Jumpman and Lady.
It wouldn't be Mario "BROTHERS" anymore then.
The real third Mario Brother is Sponge.
Yes, the only canon I accept
I propose of these being the "missing mario brother":
-fabritzio, a fabricated rejected celebrity sibling from the MAD universe
-Wario (though that would imply waluigi is the 4th brother)
-Stanley from donkey Kong 3
-jumpman from the original donkey Kong, implied to be super Mario's father
-fix it Felix from wreck it ralph
Always a vibe when you upload, we appreciate you
Have y'all hear about Balugio, the real third Mario brother? He wears blue, which makes sense since there's aleardy Mario in red and Luigi in green!

ITS BEEN SOOO LONG hope you’re back now Thomas keep up the cool and interesting uploads
Fun fact: in the mario Bros lost levels from like a long time ago the way the game tells if your mario or luigi is actually in 1s and 0s and because the game is 8-bits there's 256 combinations but the game only uses 2 so if you change it up there is actually 256 Brothers including mario.
In the (new) Mario movie, Mario has a niece, meaning that there has to be a third brother.
Actually, _Wario_ is technically the third Mario brother, seeing as Pietro was literally a fake. According to a licensed coloring book, that asks "Who is Mario's brother" the correct answer that can be found by connecting the dots or whatever, and is also written upside down, is *Wario.* So... yeah. This makes the information equally as canon as "Kerog" and slightly more canon than your average Prima Guide information.
Pietro better return for the Super Mario Bros. Movie
People already watched it and pietro didn’t come out
Welcome back, Thomas! Was a nice surprise to see a new vid from you today!
“At that moment Luigi gets a call from the IRS… and owes the government 900,000 in unpaid taxes” I swear I’ve had this fever dream before
Aw, man, I miss Vic Dunlop. Hilarious comedian. Could've sworn Dr. Mario was the third Mario Brother.
I miss him too.
Welcome back, Thomas! We've missed you!
I vaguely remember the show but none of the storylines. This episode was a very wholesome episode.
This was cool. Flashback down memory lane. I own the complete series and I remembered this episode. You should do one about how the brothers meet the ghost busters. Thats a great episode.
They need to make Pietro an actual Mario brother and bring him to the games.
I'll admit, I made my own mystery Mario brother, and based his personality after child sidekicks from the 90s.
Rest in Peace
Captain Louis Vincent Albano (July 29, 1933-October 14, 2009)
Victor Dunlop (November 6, 1948-August 13, 2011)
Jack "Danny Wells" Westelman (April 7, 1941-November 28, 2013)
Rest in peace to all those three
Damn it's been a while! Really happy to see you back. 😁
Is this an early April Fools joke?
Maybe
I feel like someone has to make fanart of him now.
welcome back! missed your videos a lot boss
Actually, off screen in super Mario brothers advance for the SNES, there is a third, blue Mario brother named balugio.
Yay Thomas Game Docs is back!
Yayyyy
We all know Sponge is the real third bro
The blue Mario from Mario Tennis seems brotherly enough to me
Yes! I've been waiting for a video from you! It's been a while since you last uploaded a video! Glad you're back!
Luigi saves the day AGAIN.
Sponge Mario is the third Mario brother.
Borio’s been real quiet since this dropped
willkommen zurück! Hab' deine videos echt vermisst aber Gesundheit geht vor
For the past few years, I've had in my headcanon that there's a third Mario brother who keeps the plumbing business back home afloat and handles the day to day stuff while they're away. Dorkly called him Guisseppe, even gave him a matching outfit but with brown overalls and a brown hat with a "G" on it. While most of Dorkly's overly deconstructive humor gets an eyeroll from me, or maybe a quick laugh when they did a good job, I've always really liked the idea of someone who holds the fort down at home while the other two Marios are away.
Your back man! Glad your okay! I have a pet theory speculating on Charles Martinet's roles in the movie, Giuseppe and Mario's father. What if Giuseppe is really the third Mario Brother? But we will have to see in a few days the movies release. I would love some opinion feedback in the comments, also welcome back!
I absolutely love the underwater theme at the end
Luigi is the best brother yet again
It's been awhile, no worries for leaving for a couple months, nothing wrong.
A common Luigi W! That was clever of him.
Haven't released a video in ages, thanks tom
I had like 3 seasons of this show on dvd as a kid, i loved em
Yahoo! Im liking this keep up the good work Thomas game docs
Fun fact: They have made this character named doctor Mario some people think that he is just Mario but he’s not and is actually his own character like in super smash brothers he has his own character and the Mario brothers are the color of the Italian flag red, green, and white. Also the little girl in the movie is Mario’s niece.
Welcome back my good man. Haven’t seen you since Christmas.
As a kid, I always figured Wario was the third Mario Bros (but never Waluigi for some reason). But then again, I used to think Baby Mario was the son of Mario and Peach.
Regular Giuseppe is the third Mario Brother.
Everybody-ah always-ah forgets-ah Giuseppe...
I wonder if Pietro will be the upcoming movie? Knowing IMDB just confirmed that Mario’s family will appear at the beginning of the movie thanks to update on the voice cast for the movie.
I love your videos so much, they're some of the only ones that actually make me click off what I'm watching to watch. What happened to the old intro? Genuinely just curious
I'm not sure if I remember this right, but in the cartoon portion Luigi mentions another brother to Mario.
Idk if it's real or a fake though
I forgot about this episode! Even though recently I went through all 65 of them.
You misheard him, he said if MARIO needs a third brother meaning he has two already
Yay! I’m so glad you’re back :) !
My theory is that Stanly from Donkey Kong 3 may be related to the Mario brothers
as an Italian, in my opinion the third brother should be called Alberto
and should be dressed in white
Because luigi is green, mario is red, they need a brother in the middle who is white to complete the Italian flag
🇮🇹
I have seen a episode or 2 years ago from that show but I never finished it. Cool video. ^_^
Welcome Back Thomas! I Never Knew There Was Third Mario Brother!
