    This entire article is set up just to be a smear campaign against Waluigi, who is criminally unrepresented.

    I mean, come on! They don't even mention how he's been the main villain in a game!

    Though how Dance Dance Revolution: Mario Mix needed a villain, we'll never know...

    "Cheers to your mustaches!"

    I actually don't think that Luigi is bi-curious. I think that since the Bean Bean Kingdom mirrored the Mushroom Kingdom, Luigi found a connection in Prince Peasley. He serves as both Mario and Luigi in this Kingdom and Luigi realizes that there is something very close about them. Prince Peasley is like another Mario but more majestic and Luigi feels a sort of brotherly love toward him too.

    1. As a younger brother I love Luigi.

    2. Luigi's Mansion- The best "Mario Bros." game since Mario 64.

    3. Was 1 of the 2 good characters in Super Mario Bros. 2...The other was Peach. Mario and Toad were useless. Wart was an awesome Boss.

    4. Why can't we have Luigi back as playable? When we get a playable Luigi game I will finally break down and buy a Wii...Nothing else will convince me Nintendo, except maybe Segata Sanshiro but I doubt that will ever happen.

    5. I love GamesRadar and their lists of 7.

    Lest we forget, people, the great Kodak moment in Super Smash Bros. Brawl for the lean green machine:

    SNAKE: That guy with the mustache…
    COLONEL: Ha. You mean the "King of Second Bananas"?
    SNAKE: Hey, that’s Luigi! Show him a little respect!
    COLONEL: Look at that pale skin. He’s been living in his brother’s shadow for too long.
    SNAKE: That’s a low blow, Colonel!
    COLONEL: Face it, Snake! Once a kid brother, always a kid brother!
    SNAKE: Colonel, what’s gotten into you?!
    COLONEL: La li lu le lo! La li lu le lo! La li lu le lo!
    SNAKE: Colonel, snap out of it! Colonel! Coooooloneeeel!

    The guy ain't effeminiate--he's just lovably awkward. Also awesome.

    @DemanRisu: You mean the fireballs that are unaffected by gravity, which are also fired at a faster pace than Mario's fireballs? Those deal more damage, so "wimpy?"

    Besides, Luigi is an aerial recovery master! Green Missile, Luigi Cyclone, and his Super Jump Punch all help out in attacking and making it back to the stage.

    Wasn't there a character in M&L:SS that only referred to him as "Mr. Green" or something like that?

    Then there was the penguin in Thousand Year Door that thought Mario was Luigi. That was funny.

    Luigi has always been my favorite. I dunno, I've always liked the second-best/second-in-command/underdog characters. It's like they're the ones no one goes after, but they have the ability to compete.

    In the chase of Luigi, Bowser is never after him. Bowser never goes after Daisy, though that's probably because Daisy would put up a fight. Though Mario does pretty much get all the attention, Luigi is at least able to live a normal life and be a Mario Brother.

    Luigi needs another game! Maybe something like Bowser Jr. does kidnap Daisy after how Peach is constantly being saved by Mario. Bowser Jr. thinks it'll be easy as pie, but Luigi's inner strength awakens!

    @sci-fi_wasabi: Well, considering Bowser Jr. still helps Bowser kidnap Peach, the incentive now really is that Bowser Jr. wants a mother, even if the person isn't his real mother.

    I can't remember what game it was from, I think it was Superstar Saga, but I remember there was one scene where Luigi had to admit his deepest darkest secret or something and if I remember correctly they strongly hinted at him being gay or something...

    It was still pretty funny though, but if anyone knows what I'm talking about, care to refresh my memory? Been a few years since I've played these.

    So, first people want to pin Toad as a homosexual, and now Luigi as a bisexual.

    I think this projecting of non-heteronormative orientations on Mario characters is getting far too silly. Until it's outright said, these are merely amusing winks and nudges from the developers. (Hey, it makes the fans talk.)

    I think it was more a case of Peasley being just THAT suave and debonair than Luigi feeling "confused." Either way, I've liked Luigi more than Mario for a while, just because he has so much more personality. I'd like to see him get his own game again sometime soon.
