History Heartwarming / SuperMarioBros

* ''Heartwarming/MarioPlusRabbidsKingdomBattle''

* The ending of the original ''VideoGame/MarioVsDonkeyKong'' for GBA after defeating the TrueFinalBoss: Donkey Kong breaks down crying, having failed to keep the [[MacGuffin Mini-Mario toys]] he had stolen from the toy factory. Mario, seeing this, [[SympathyForTheDevil takes pity on the big ape]], and comforts him, even giving him a Mini-Mario toy to call his own.

** Within the video itself, Bowser hesitates to suspend the software (Junior had exceeded the set time limit) because he's worried about how Junior will react. The narrator even acknowledges that this feature should only be used as a last resort.

** Mario is worried something might happen to Luigi's save data, so he has Lakitu back it up so nothing happens to it. Later, Toad chats with Mario over the phone while gaming and Luigi offers him game advice, and when Toad wins both he and the brothers high-five.

No matter how neglected Luigi feels, he will always be there for his brother, and likewise, Mario will always be there for Luigi.

* The ending of the original ''VideoGame/MarioVsDonkeyKong'' for GBA after defeating the TrueFinalBoss: Donkey Kong breaks down crying, having failed to keep the [[MacGuffin Mini-Mario toys]] he had stolen from the toy factory. Mario, seeing this, [[AlasPoorVillain takes pity on the big ape]], and comforts him, even giving him a Mini-Mario toy to call his own.

* In the intro for ''VideoGame/MarioSuperSluggers'' when DK accidentally tackles Luigi in a desperate attempt to reach home base and send him crashing to the field wall, Daisy, a Red Toad and at the entire audience gasped in shock, concerned for him. When the see that Luigi has the ball the moment he got shoved, EVERYONE cheered for him. This shows that Luigi still gets the respect he deserves.

* To explain a new parental controls app that the [[UsefulNotes/NintendoSwitch Switch]] will have, Nintendo made [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=03bAayBtcb0 this]] ''heartmeltingly'' adorable video of Bowser demonstrating this app as Jr. plays the Switch.
** Within the video itself, Bowser hesitates to suspend the software (Jr. had exceeded the set time limit) because he's worried about how Jr. will react. The narrator even acknowledges that this feature should only be used as a last resort.
** He also defends Jr. from a group of Boos (who represent internet trolls).

* Mario and Peach's relationship is pretty sweet. Mario constantly risks his life to save her whenever something happens to her, is implied to be in love with her, their bond started when they were babies and they have several moments together in the franchise that imply a romantic connection between the two. When she's rescued, Peach usually rewards Mario by giving him a kiss, usually on the cheek or nose, and baking cakes for him, and Mario is often lovestruck and blushes heavily when he gets his kiss.

* When we see the actual relationship between Mario and Luigi. Mario often overshadows Luigi and Luigi does not always get the recognition he deserves and feels jealous of his brother's fame and popularity. Despite this, the brothers are very close and would do anything for each other. Mario has shown that he's just as proud to be Luigi's brother as Luigi is to be his brother.

!!The 1993 Film
* Luigi's obvious crush on Daisy makes his interactions with her adorably sweet, especially when he can't figure out what to say. Mario then helps out by telling her directly and offering her a ride, then good-naturedly teases Luigi about almost letting her go.
* When Luigi is about to leap into the unknown to go after Daisy across a chasm that would kill him otherwise, he gives Mario a kiss before taking the leap.
* The scene where Luigi and Daisy say goodbye.
--> '''Mario''': (''to Luigi'') She's tryin' to tell ya she can't leave until she knows where she belongs. And if you loved her, you'd understand that.
* When Daisy is reunited with Daniella in the Mushroom Kingdom. Ever since her abduction, she'd be scared and alone in a very creepy world. Daniella, who only met her once before, hugs her and introduces her to the other kidnapped women, who clearly had gotten to know one another and banded together during their imprisonment.
* Mario and Daniella's relationship is very sweet and sincere, especially in the escape scene and ending where they're living together.
* After helping save the Mario Brothers from Lena and the Goombas, Big Bertha kisses Mario, who sincerely thanks her for the help.
