It’s Mario and has been since 1983. Mario and Luigi are collectively referred to as the Mario brothers.

Doug Walker and his brother Rob Walker would be collectively referred to as the Walker brothers, not the Doug brothers.
(I’m using him as an example since he caused a stink about the name years ago.)

Warner Bros. is also another good example. It was founded by four brothers from the Warner family and that’s how it got its name.

The Mario movie didn’t invent or confirm the surname. A name in front of “Bros.” makes the name the brothers surname. That’s just how it works. Now it’s possible that Miyamoto did not realise what calling the game Mario Bros. would do, and back in 1983 Mario’s popularity wasn’t anything like it would become later. But really that’s how the naming structure works.

@Paraka I’m saying without Sakurai there is no Smash Bros. Sakurai stepping down would have been the perfect opportunity for someone to step up to keep the game being supported without him but that isn’t happening. A large game such as Smash Bros should not rest entirely upon one person. What if Sakurai had an unexpected accident or illness years ago - no more Smash Bros?

@bigcalsworld the baby bird is no problem if you remember the golden rules of exploring everywhere and talking to everyone you see and doing everything they tell you to do. See the store clerk, get the baby bird. See the man in the bid village telling you about Laura, go find Laura. See the bird on its own outside the village, go talk to it just because it stands out; that’s Laura.
