If you ever wanted to know why Luigi is thinner than Mario or how he bears living in the shadow of his older brother, this exhaustively researched article over on GamesRadarās got you covered.
āLuigi: A life in the shadowsā cover the other brotherās origins from palette swap to star of his own (two) video games. Anybody else remember playing Mario is Missing? Yeah, that game starred Luigi.
Best bit? Right hereā¦
But Luigiās heart has strayed at least once during the previously mentioned Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga. The Beanbean Kingdom the two stars explore has a prince to match the Mushroom Kingdomās Princess Peach. Prince Peasley is a dashing (if self-absorbed) pretty boy, who throughout the game slowly gains Luigiās attention. As time goes on, Luigi seems almost enamored with Peasley, blushing at his compliments and eventually trying to hug him, which Peasley deftly dodges, as Peasley seems to only love himself. But this bi-curious side of Luigi has yet to return, as heās since stayed pretty true to Daisy. However, that hasnāt stopped the devs of the M&L series from continuing to ramp up Luigiās effeminacy to Tingle levels of fab.
I totally did not know that. I thought when Luigi wasnāt with Daisy, he was letting Peach cheat on Mario with him. Also, I thought John Leguizamo and Samantha Mathis as the āidealā Luigi/Daisy couple.
