It is well-known that Mario is named after Nintendo of America's former landlord, Mario Segale. It has been discovered that his father, Louis Segale, was actually named Luigi before changing his name during immigration, making it an astounding coincidence that the real Mario's real father is Luigi.

Mario Segale (1934-2018) was a real estate developer and landlord of Nintendo of America's warehouse in 1981, famously being the inspiration for Mario's name. Minoru Arakawa, then president of Nintendo of America, reportedly named him after Segale because Segale was so reclusive that Arakawa did not know what he looked like. It has been discovered in 2026 by genealogy researcher Elisabeth Zetland that Segale's father, Louis Segale, was actually born Luigi Maria Segale near Genoa in Italy, before changing his name to Louis during his immigration to the United States (adopting anglicized names being common among immigrants at the time). One of the few known photos of Mario Segale Since this fact has not been known until now, there is no way this could have factored into the naming of Luigi, but it is still immensely notable that the real-life Mario's father turned out to have been Luigi all along.

In World 8-7 of New Super Mario Bros. Wii, releasing a mushroom on the third Spine Coaster but not collecting it results in an entertaining interaction whereby the Spine Coaster will balance the mushroom on its nose, like a seal trained to balance a ball.
