luigi
So John Krasinski plays Jim Halpert on the office. Surprisingly enough, in one of the episodes in season 4, he is wearing a fake mustache, and thats where my geeky 6th sense kicks in and I notice, he looks a lot like Luigi. Ok, granted the mustache is pointing downwards while Luigi’s are pointing upwards. Still, am I the only one who sees the similarity here? More » -

SMB Cross-Stitch: Luigi's Revenge
Luigi is mad as hell and he's not going to take it anymore! This vengeful cross stitch has shown up on one of my favorite video game craft websites SpriteStitch.com and was created by the site's owner John. If you'd like, you can even make it your very own as the piece is available for purchase on eBay for a mere $10 (for now). Since I'm poor, I'll be sending this along to Maggie along with an email begging her to make me one for free. If she doesn't agree, I'll simply blackmail her into it with those incriminating photos from the Kotaku Kompany Kristmas party. Oh wait, those were of me. Damn, I really need to stop drinking whiskey... More »

Nintendo Characters as Kute Kewpie Dolls
The iconic Kewpie dolls go way back — like to the early 1900's. (So old!) In Japan, the character is used as the mascot for, are you ready, Kewpie Mayonnaise. So, if you've ever wondered what your favorite Nintendo characters would look like as Kewpie dolls, consider that curiosity satisfied. They were found in Fukuoka, Japan and will give us nightmares. Forever. More » -

Scary, Scary Mario Bros. Bootlegs
One Hong Kong retailer gives us a taste of just what Mario and Luigi would look like if Miyamoto went mad and decided to co-brand the franchise with Nightmare on Elm Street flicks. Seriously, these plush toys are freaky—we're talking clown freaky, or even Cher's cheeks no longer move when she talks, freaky (people still listen to Cher, right?). Plus, we're finding it more than a little gross that the curtains don't match the nose drapes, if you know what we mean. More »

Stoned Luigi Skateboard Deck
Kotakuite Lukas M. sent in this picture, with the following explanation: "I found this yesterday in a skateboarding shop in Berlin. It's a Jeff Lenoce Pro Deck from Baker Skateboards, with what is obviously a stoned Luigi and some weed leaves on it. Unfortunately, it's not on Baker's web site. Would have bought it, too, if the sales person hadn't been such an ass about me touching the precious deck with my seemingly unworthy fingers." -

Japanese Band with Girls Dressed as Mario and Luigi
The bassist for Japanese speed metal band Sex Machineguns Kenjirou Murai has moved to trashing to bleeps. After working on the Nana soundtrack album, Murai joined forces with a professional his new group is called PSG, short for Picopico Sound Project. It's even roped in cosplayers (above) as "vocal talent." There are loads of these retro sound bit chip bands, so how does this band stand apart? Just look at those outfits! The buttons are fantastic. CD drops today. More »

Mario Family Figure Set Signed by Miyamoto on eBay
Here's a nice little find for you Nintendo collectors, especially for those of you who like MIB. Well, technically I suppose the MIB has been ruined by the signature of the genius Miyamoto, but what are you gonna do? This is a boxed set of Nintendo figurines gotten from Japan's awesome Club Nintendo and signed by miyaoto himself complete with little quotes for each of the characters. The set in this form is not available in the U.S. (although you can get the individual ones at the Nintendo World Store) and of course the signature makes it ultra rare. At the time of the writing of this article, there were six bids bring the price up to a reasonable $46 although the reserve has not been met yet. If you want this precious, precious Nintendo treasure for your very own, you have until July 25. More »

Nintendo Bobbbleheads
Too cute! Back in 2002, these Nintendo character bobbleheads were released. Yup, Mario, Yoshi, Luigi and Bowser were all immortalized as 17cm tall statues with giant heads that bobble. They even have the official Nintendo stamp of approval. Ah, 2002 was a very good year. More »

Clip: The Luigi Story
Film maker Chris Preksta hit us on the tips line to let us know about his short, made in the E! True Hollywood Story fashion a few years back, The Luigi Story. It's an impressive piece of work, one that chronicles the sad rise to fame of that other plumber, consistently second-billed in Nintendo releases. Well, there was Luigi's Mansion, but I was hoping we'd just all try our hardest to forget about that GameCube tech demo.

These Hats Are Really Pillows!
A while back we brought you news that NCSX was going to be selling these awesome Mario and Luigi hats so you could wear them around town and elicit odd stares from strangers. As a matter of fact, NCSX thought they were selling hats too. But, when the shipment arrived it turned out these hats weren't hats at all, but pillows! Still pretty cool, but if i had been one of those that pre-ordered one of these I'd be pissed. But at least now you can put these on your couch an elicit stares from your friends rather than the cruel nameless hordes. More » -

White Ninja Makes Luigi Cry
White Ninja is one of the best comics on the web today, mainly because I could, if pressed, draw better than they do. Fortunately Scott Bevan and Kent Earle can do more with their crappy little drawings and a few choice words than many comics with high-quality artists could ever hope to do. Plus, the main character is a ninja, albeit a very 'special' one. More »

New York Italians Embrace Mario with Super Maze
No, Mario is not ablaze. Kotakuite Justin Chin recently hit "Giglio Feast," an Italian festival held in Brooklyn, New York. The event included a glass-mirror "Super Maze" that featured Mario and Luigi on the outside, but not in the mirror filled inside. Justin came to the heartwarming realization that "even Italians from New York accept Mario and Luigi." Too bad the primates won't open up their hearts to Donkey Kong. That ape gets no love.

The Hand-Made Luigi Quilt
Tonight, just before your head hits the pillow and you wander through the meadows of dreamland, know that this bed quilt pwns yours. By miles. A DIYer named Jainy over at Craftster.org made this for her lucky bastardfiance. This queen-sized blanket took four people over 20 hours, and Jainy cut every "pixel" to 2.5 inches. She then sewed them all together and quilted them on the Handi-Quilter. The rest, as they say, is history. More »
