I think his favorite sport is tennis and Mario's is soccer (official art I referenced under cut)
I'm just sayin, peasley would've humbled starlow... or would've attempted to do so
having a freeze response to stress is so funny in the context of normal adult stressors. millions of years of evolution are trying to tell me that the email will not find me if i stay very still and do nothing
I CANT WAIT FOR MARIO AND LUIGI: BROTHERSHIP TO COME OUT DHJWCSCSFEDSSCDSV
THE SILLIEST BROS EVER AAGGGHHHHHH!!!!
(UPDATE: BOWSER CALLS LUIGI BY HIS NAME AND NOT "GREENSTACHE" PEAK CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT!!!)
After seeing Luigi's attempt to fib under interrogation in The Super Mario Bros. Movie, I was convinced Luigi couldn't lie to save his life.
Then Brothership happened, in which Luigi...
Tore off his disguise in the middle of a crowd of enemies two separate times when he got overexcited about soda.
Loudly proclaimed "yes!" when it was suggested he might be a spy in a spy side-quest.
In the same side-quest, nearly thwarted his ally's ruse by "correcting him."
Clearly, pretending to be someone he's not causes Luigi's mind to short circuit... UNLESS he's dressed as Princess Peach, in which case his performance is flawless.
Thus I have been brought to this logical conclusion:
Luigi's a great liar, but only if he's wearing drag.
Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.

Was hoping to post this before the Mario movie dropped but oh well.
I’m going to see it next week and I am so excited for it!
