Humans are a species that live on Mushroom World and on the far away planet of Earth. While there are a number of humans on Mushroom World, they are not nearly as numerous as Toads, Goombas, Koopa Troopas, and many other species. In the real world, humans are the dominant species of Earth.

Humans are a remarkable and multi-talented species. They can be good jumpers (as indicated by Mario and Luigi), very strong (like Wario) and technologically innovative (like Professor E. Gadd). It is possible that Toads and humans can interbreed, as Princess Peach calls a Toad her grandmother; whether or not this is her biological grandmother, adoptive grandmother, or simply a term of endearment is unknown.

Game-specific details

The chained skeletons found in Gloomy Galleon in Donkey Kong 64

In Donkey Kong 64, the skeletons of what appear to be humans are found shackled in chains in several of the sunken ships in Gloomy Galleon.

In the Spaceworld 2001 build of Super Mario Sunshine, humans were originally going to appear in the game, but were removed for unknown reasons (although one human disguised as a Pianta, Il Piantissimo, is in the game).

In Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, the inhabitants of Twilight Town refer to themselves as human despite their rather inhuman appearance.

In Super Mario Odyssey, New Donk City is home to realistic humans known as New Donkers, who form most of the city's population. With the exception of New Donkers, most humans in the Mario franchise have designs that are either cartoonish (such as Mario, Luigi, and Princess Peach) or anime-esque (such as the various NPCs in early installments of the Mario Golf series and the Mario Tennis series).

In contrast to the New Donkers, who are virtually identical to Homo sapiens,[1] the cartoonish humans have officially been referred to as Homo nintendonus on at least one occasion.[2] Although Homo nintendonus differ noticeably from New Donkers in regard to anatomical features and their demonstration of various superhuman abilities, both are nevertheless recognized as humans.[3]
