The Mushroom Kingdom Orphanage (shortened to Mushroom Orphanage in "Tag Team Trouble") is an orphanage for Mushroom children located in the Mushroom Kingdom. While first referenced by name in The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! episode "Mario and the Beanstalk," the story of its creation was outlined in "The Great Gladiator Gig." Later, in The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3 episode "Tag Team Trouble," it made its only onscreen appearance. The organization is run by the Mushroom Nanny and supported by donations.
In "The Great Gladiator Gig," after defeating Emperor Augustus Septemberus Octoberus Koopa, Mario and his friends organized a spaghetti dinner, allowing Princess Toadstool to collect enough money to build the Mushroom Kingdom Orphanage. In "Mario and the Beanstalk," the Mushroom Kingdom Orphanage experienced financial difficulties, needing one hundred Gold Coins to stay open, though this is resolved when King Koopa's Coins rain down upon the heroes after Luigi chops down the gigantic beanstalk holding up King Koopa's castle, providing them with more than enough Coins to save the orphanage.
