[Nintendo] moves to a camp upstate

According to Nintendo, Mario is no longer a plumber. As spotted by Kotaku, the character’s profile on Nintendo’s official Japanese-language website states that Mario used to be a plumber:

All around sporty, whether it’s tennis or baseball, soccer or car racing, he [Mario] does everything cool. As a matter of fact, he also seems to have worked as a plumber a long time ago…

The pivots to video are coming for us all

    Also Flight won the Splatfest despite having fewer votes, proving once again that the objectively correct answer is always the least popular.

    EDIT: In the context of splatfests and in no other context.

    Years of rescuing princesses has some benefits.
    Sure, you gain the enmity of a giant fire breathing turtle monster, but you're still a hero to an entire kingdom.

    He's still good with pipes. He just got fucking rich. Fucking Mario doesn't need work. He spends an absurd amount of time at beach-resorts and country-clubs.

    Mario's color is red, that means stop, blood, death.. and is bad.

    Luigi's color is green, which means go, $$$$, cash, awesomeness.



    the clear choice is luigi

    He looks better

    I like green, don't like red much at all, he has a better mustache, better name, the taller/slimmer look is more appealing, sometimes he has cool green fire, he's got that unique jump, he's a secret character in stuff like Galaxy

    People like underdogs

    He has way more personality, and a really endearing one at that

    I like Mario, but dude is a blank slate

    Nah, Luigi has developed a personality over the years through the Luigi's Mansion and Mario and Luigi and Paper Mario games

    he's cowardly and weird and kinda jealous of Mario, but not in a toxic way, but when push comes to shove he will suck it up and be a hero (while complaining the whole time)

    Mario is still mostly just a boilerplate heroic dude though

    Luigi has an annoying voice

    An awful look

    A stupid jump where he inexplicably kicks his legs back and forth constantly like an idiot

    Playing as him in Super Mario Galaxy, one of the best games of all time and certainly the most outright fun one in my eyes, turns the entire experience into an unplayable mess

    Green is a bad color

    The L on his hat is for Loser pass it on

    Oh and in Mario XCOM, if a slight breeze crosses his path he's killed

    Sadly it's not Actual XCOM so it is not permanent

    This might be the worst thing you've ever said

    Luigi Mario is a crazy stalker who "believes in himself" so much that he jumps into an open elavator shaft believing god will save him

    @Grey Ghost He's not like, super deep, but wheras mario is the hero who just goes and fixes things without any thought, Luigi is a neurotic mess

    He's terrified of monsters and cowers at them constantly, has a severely deep seated inferiority complex, and is extremely jealous of his brother

    But when push comes to shove he's still a hero who gets things done, and thats super endearing

    Edit: He's basically one of the only characters I remember even as a kid liking because he seems to suffer from inferiority complex just like I do, constantly
