The Cute Mario Bros. (channel formerly known as MarioMario8989) is a Canadian web series and YouTube channel created in 2006 by friends Tyler Zanon and Kenny “Ricky” Hawksworth.

Similar to SuperMarioLogan, they became popular on YouTube after uploading videos depicting plush toys of characters from the Mario franchise going on absurd adventures. Other characters include plush toys, action figures, and puppets of characters from media franchises such as The Nightmare Before Christmas and The Muppets. They have received backlash several times from fans of SuperMarioLogan, another Mario plush YouTube channel for allegedly stealing plot ideas, when, ironically enough, most ideas were already taken from Zanon and Hawksworth themselves. The name "Cute Mario Bros" was inspired by several Japanese commercials released in the early 2000's called Hot Mario Bros.

Series end
On October 7, 2020, they had announced that they would be ending off the series after 14 years of making this type of content right after they release their final episode, "Summer Fun 4" sometime in Summer 2021.
