#I also swear that yoshi's island triggered my story telling side with the whole 'they can sense where the other is'

So I was just on TvTropes and I saw that someone had pointed out that in the DiC cartoon continuity, Mario and Luigi aren't twins. Due to the live action bit called Dance showing Mario throwing a birthday party for Luigi and only Luigi. Guess that's something to add to the lore pile. (Would also add more context to that one born with a plunger joke.)

Ah yes, see not every Mario and Luigi are twins. Brothers still; but the pairs from the cartoons and the 1993 movie are not.

It's not stated in the new movie...but seeing as the characters and worlds are based on the games, and the Mario and Luigi from the games ARE twins (stated mostly in sports and party games but still counts!), it's fair to assume that movie Mario and Luigi are also twins.

I mean...come on, there's no way there's an age gap between these two babies!

I mean, when you think about it, back in the 80s and 90s, there was hardly any confirmation of the brother's age - hence Mario only celebrating Luigi's birthday in the Super Show.

And in the 1993 movie, the age gap of the actors was quite large - so that also contributed to them being different ages.
