The Institute of Mariology and Mario Theology (IMMT) classifies Mariology as: "the area of theology concerned with the Super Mario Brothers, not only their lives but their veneration throughout The Mushroom Kingdom, Isle Delfino, Yoshi's Island, and her aspect in modern and ancient mythology." The name 'Mario' comes from the Latin word 'Marius Mushroomus,' meaning destroyer of Koopas. It can also be translated into English as 'Consumer of Mushrooms.'
