Mario And Luigi Are Twins Part 1

Something I've come to learn is a lot of people don't know Mario and Luigi are twins, and that when I bring it up to them they are surprised. So I decided to make this post talking about it.

So in the games since Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island it's established Mario and Luigi are twins, as seen in the intro. It even mentions they have a twin bond that let's them know where each other are. This also includes page 3 of the manual. "In his bill, he supports a pair of twins." "The bond between the twins informs each of them where the other is."

In Super Mario Run in the bio for Luigi it mentions he's Mario's twin brother. "Mario's twin brother is shy and easily scared but that won't keep him from jumping a little higher!"

Finally in one to information tidbits that can be seen when starting up a level in Super Mario Bros. Wonder, it mentions Luigi is Mario's taller slightly younger twin. "While they may be twin brothers, Luigi is taller and slightly younger than Mario."

Now here's an interesting detail from the OVA. While it's not canon the OVA does parallel the games and has concepts that would be later introduced in the games. Keep in mind this animation came out a whole year after the Super Mario Bros. So yeah, Mario and Luigi are twins.

EVERY SINGLE DAY there are MILLIONS of characters in their late 20s who get falsely accused of being father figures to teenagers when in reality the description of "weird older cousin" or "step-sibling that moved out before you were born" is 1000000x more apt

Mario dealing with undiagnosed ADHD and the problems that arise from it. One of my favorite headcanons

a bit rushed but idc I NEEDED to get this idea down

That thing when Mario and Luigi do the exact same expression and look like the same person.

Apropos of nothing, here's my personal headcanon in regards to Mario and Luigi's surname.

Now, it's been generally announced and accepted that the brothers' last name is "Mario," shackling them with the somewhat awkward full names of "Mario Mario" and "Luigi Mario." My take on this is that the family's original last name was "Marianetti" (likely coming from the more common "Marinetti"). This name was changed to "Marionetti" when the boys' grandmother came over from Italy. (A common occurrence in record keeping at immigration at the time. Someone probably had bad handwriting and smudged a pencil stroke somewhere. It happened in my family for sure).

In Brooklyn, their father went by the last name "Marionetti," which ended up shortened to just "Mario," as oftentimes he would be addressed by his surname only. (Think, "Hey, Mario! Get over here!" as opposed to "Hey, Marionetti! Get over here!")

So, the boys are born and get their names. (Their father's middle name was Mario, and so our Mario, being the oldest, inherits his father's middle name as his first name. Luigi's name maybe comes from the middle name of some uncle who is long out of the picture).

So we have "Mario Marionetti" and "Luigi Marionetti." Which, their surname being a mouthful, gets shortened to "Mario" more often than not, just like their father. And thus we end up with "Mario Mario" and "Luigi Mario," culminating in the "Mario Brothers."

A silly thought, but what if...

[coy-lee]

I haven't watched the new movie yet, but I'm not afraid of spoilers. The boys are adorable and always have been. I've loved them since I was little and yes, LUIGI GAL FOR LIFE!💖

But since it seems people are falling for them all over again, I thought I'd bring them back out of the margins of my notes in school and give them some proper attention on here.

(I also headcanon Luigi legit feels more confident in a disguise {like cosplaying honestly} so I could see him being more bold in that old Mr. L outfit plus he looks so cute in it)

Ahhhh I love it when I draw my favorite characters with the outfits of my other favorite characters

To make up for that one tag fuckup, here's Yet Another crossover between the things I like. Mari was roaming around Headspace in search of something to share with her friends when they meet again, and happened upon a nervous but helpful chef!

Someone pointed this out on twitter, but look at the parallels here!

Was it ever confirmed if their father is a twin?

Because if so, this just hits even more in the feels;

I imagine their father and uncle were so overjoyed that the twin gene still continued, and encouraged the boys to always treasure the irreplaceable bond they have ❤💚

Been doing some screenshot sketches of Mario and Luigi from the movie and some of the old cartoons in my sketchbook and ended up cleaning this one up in my drawing app.

This scene was from the Super Mario Bros: Super Show, the episode where Mario hits his head and wind up with amnesia. They're in the jungle and, of course, Luigi freaked himself out thinking about all the potential lurking dangers.

Even though it was a pretty short bit, I still thought it was adorable. Especially when you pause the scene just at the right frame, you'll see Mario smiling back at his lil bro in reassurance and amusement. So, how could I resist?

Tagging a few people I know are in the Mario Bros fandom just cause: @jell-o101 @1-upboys @theangelofangst
