Mario's Biography



Happy to be in a fruity-looking pose for this shot. Species: Human
So we all know about Mario. But of course, there IS a "Bros." in the title of the old games. The guy responsible? The other brother, the guy in green, the scaredy-cat, the taller man.....Luigi.

Born as a twin with his more famous brother, life started out rough from the start, as Luigi and his delivery stork were captured and held prisoner for execution at Koopa Castle, after a prophecy foretold that he and Mario would bring doom to the empire. Luckily, a friendly pack of Yoshis came along with his brother and freed them. After being delivered to his parents, the family was forced to flee to another dimension to escape the Koopas-namely, the DKU.

But, as fate would have it, as an adult, he and Mario ran a plumbing business, and on a routine sink job, a dimensional rip sucked them back to their birthplace, where they decided to help out against the invading King Bowser. While Mario gained top billing and the eye of Princess Peach, Luigi was fine with knowing he had helped.

Many times he helped save the world with his brother, getting second billing. Soon the day came when they met a gorilla Mario had once tangled with-namely, the now-grown DK Jr. Soon, the big ape was participating in tournaments with the brothers, racing, partying, golfing....and tennising.

Luigi, while having a little adventure involving ghosts, still sticks to the background and does little. Like this bio.
