Luigi Discussion Thread

Lucid_SeraphLucid_Seraph TealDeerMarylandRegistered User regular
this is a thread for discussing people or things named Luigi.

Rules:
1) only talking about Luigi and Luigi related topics. This isn't the thread for complaining about billionaires, unless they are named Luigi
2) seriously Mario is right out; Luigi only
3) Waluigi is OK. So is Luigina.
4) If we're talking about Luigi Manigonne, please remember that he is only *a suspect* in the killing of Brian Thompson. It hasn't been proven whether he has or hasn't done it, and unless you are going to be on his jury it isn't your job!
4a) remember there are other Luigis

    I never used Luigi in Super Mario 2 because his floaty jump bugged me.

    Luigi Beccali
    4q0aeyeghcrv.jpg

    He was the first Italian to win gold in a track race in 1930 in the 1500m race. Like us he often slacked off at work, but while we post while doing that, he would go trained for the Olympics so slightly different ways of slacking off. He retired from racing to become a wine trader which sounds like a pretty solid retirement plan.

    My economics teacher in high school had a brother whose name was Luigi Mario. He was older than the games

    I remember the princess being the best in every level except one where Luigi's jump was the perfect solution for an otherwise tricky bit.
    Luigi is not the preferred option, but sometimes you need him for specific tasks.

    Toad was my guy. His strength made picking things up almost instant and that was a huge benefit

    the remakes of old SMB games have save states so you can brute force your way through the game

    back in my day we had to beat bowser in one go, while walking uphill both ways in the snow

    My greatest video game accomplishment is turning on Super Mario All-Stars w/Super Mario World and running every level without dying once.

    Would have made a great YouTube video if YouTube existed back then.

    Man, I kinda missed the window on the early Mario shit.

    That said, when my mom was an ICU nurse, she'd sometimes have to take me to work for however long due to lack of child care at the time (America!). So, I'd hang out in an empty room off the main ward rotunda playing what I think was SMB3 on what I assume was a NES hooked up to a dolly TV that they could wheel around and emitted the most ear shattering SCRUNK when turned on, all while people had the absolute worst day of their lives just outside the door.

    It's just the Italian version of Lewis/Louis/Ludwig

    I've probably got some Luigis somewhere in the family tree, though that's the part of my family that ain't well mapped

    Aww, there was a really nice large gothic text Free Luigi graffiti at the end of my street just the other day, and when I went back to take a picture tonight it was gone

    Edit: found someone else's picture of it

    While not knowing him personally, one of my great grandfathers was named Luigi, and from the stories I was told, he was a colorful individual:
    * Apparently, he had a small issue with desertion when serving in the Italian army in WWI (to be fair, he had to serve under The Most Incompetent Luigi Ever.) But his cooking skills kept him from being shot.

    * After that, he decided to immigrate to the US, where he worked as a cook in NYC. This is where the family vendetta against Chef Boyardee started, as apparently he knew Boiardi, and didn't think much of the man.

    * Working as a cook during Prohibition, he had access to cooking wines - and so kept a quiet table in the back for people who...couldn't be seen drinking publicly. Like, say, a NY politician by the name of Franklin Delano Roosevelt.

    * So, adding to the above, FDR did not speak Italian, and my grandfather's grip on English at this time was questionable. But, they did both speak French.

    * As he got on in age, he would cook for one of the "borscht belt" resorts in the Catskills on the weekend (he had a good enough career in NYC that he knew people.) Apparently, one time when my grandfather went to fetch him, there was an...incident involving a junior chef seasoning one of my great-grandfather's pots. Which resulted in diners getting an impromptu show through the kitchen doors of a terrified junior chef running for his life from a little old Italian man with a cleaver in hand and murder in his eyes.

    * And then there was the time he cooked up a delicious soup from garden cuttings to feed his grandkids (my mother and my two uncles) - which was good except that the three wound up breaking out in rashes as a result. My grandfather was less than impressed.

    My greatest video game achievement was sending a Polaroid of my Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine high score and getting invited to do some promotional 1v1 with someone that was supposedly super good (over the Sega Channel, of all things) and I beat them so badly in 3 rounds I think they ragequit. Supposedly I won some amount of money my mom put into my college account that never existed, but I didn't really give a shit. That $200 would have bought me a lot of Magic cards I tell you hwat.

    Just so you all know, I'm keeping my eye on this thread for two reasons:
    1) If you talk about Luigi Manigonne or related topics, please don't be graphic about what could or should happen to other CEOs, and don't go being gauche about wanting to do stuff or wishing death on people. There's better ways to express such sentiments.


    2) Any anti-Luigi propaganda will be punished with impunity

    I heard that Charles Martinet's version of Luigi's voice was because his face was being captured at the time for Mario and he was trying to speak without opening his mouth to represent Luigi offscreen

    Marty: The future, it's where you're going?
    Doc: That's right, twenty five years into the future. I've always dreamed on seeing the future, looking beyond my years, seeing the progress of mankind. I'll also be able to see who wins the next twenty-five world series.
  • AnzekayAnzekay Registered User, Moderator mod
    I consider this mandatory to post here, because it does address Luigi.

    But also... Wa! Luigi!
