Because it's Mario Mario and Luigi Mario.

The only good lore tidbit to come out of that deranged movie.

[–] wander1236@sh.itjust.works 9 points 9 months ago (1 children)

That movie is a work of art. Who doesn't love the extremely horny scene where Mario is trying to get the necklace back in a movie ostensibly made for kids?

[–] DosDude@retrolemmy.com 5 points 9 months ago

Oh no! Sexual stuff for children! Better replace it with violence. That'll keep the children clean.

[–] GrammatonCleric@lemmy.world 6 points 9 months ago (1 children)

That's the OG movie canon. Did they also do this in the old cartoon? I can't remember

[–] Annoyed_Crabby@monyet.cc 16 points 9 months ago

I'm just making the joke from that movie, but apparently Miyamoto also adapted that name for them haha

Luigi Yoshi
Scared of ghosts Eats ghosts for breakfast
Gives Mario trouble Gives Mario a ride
Started out as "Mario for those who can't play as Mario" Designed from the scratch as a character
Uses synthetic green dyes in his clothes to LARP as an environmentalist Has his own self-sustainable island, is naturally green
Weirdo in a costume A MOTHERFUCKING DINOSAUR

Mama should disinherit Luigi and adopt Yoshi in his place.

This is why Luigi finally snaps,

[–] sartalon@lemmy.world 14 points 9 months ago (3 children)

Their last name Mario.

So it's Mario Mario and Luigi Mario.

[–] can@sh.itjust.works 11 points 9 months ago

Can't you read? It's Mario Mario and Green Mario.

[–] Octopus1348@thelemmy.club 2 points 9 months ago

I thought it was Super Mario and Super Luigi.

[–] Daedskin@lemm.ee -1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

They actually don't have last names; their full names are Mario and Luigi.

[–] Cavemanfreak@lemm.ee 4 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Not according to Miyamoto.

[–] can@sh.itjust.works 4 points 9 months ago

Let's not pretend Mario Bros. have a consistent canon. Who are the koopalings for example

[–] Geert@lemmy.world 7 points 9 months ago

Another L for Luigi

[–] Jiberish@kbin.social 7 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I was just thinking of this the other day, but didn't I want to slog through my meme library to find it. Thank the gods for Geert!

I'm subscribed to their Patreon and this one was displayed there. I think it might be their first comic too.

And you're welcome ❤️

I would say to them, "You want ice cream cone?" They both say yes.

[–] perishthethought@lemm.ee 5 points 9 months ago

An oldie but a good... ie. I've referred to him as Green Mario ever since this first appeared.

[–] MxM111@kbin.social 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I know, I know! His name is Macoroni! No. Linguine!

[–] RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

My cousin called him Fuckin Loogie. He wasn't very good.

I swear I have seen this comic elsewhere with more colour saturation
