Hey everybody, sorry that I've been absent so long from the channel! I got a little burnt out at the end of last year and then I've been having some minor health issues, all of which added together to mean I wasn't getting as much KZfaq work done as I'd like. But now I'm back!!!! I've got lots of other videos planned for the following weeks, so stay tuned for more! Thanks for sticking with me and being so kind and patient :)

Well considering the fact that Mario and Luigi's whole origin story is about being delivered by a stork, one that's pretty bad at her job considering that she lost them several times and the Yoshis had to do all the work, but also that she delivered them to the wrong parents the first time (as we learned in Yoshi's Island DS), she may totally have delivered the third Mario brother Pietro to the wrong family. If they ever make a third Mario brother, this would be a pretty coherent backstory.

I always liked how in the live action segments, Luigi was the smart one and Mario was the more gullible one. It was a nice counter to the animated segments where Mario was the brave one and Luigi was the more timid one.

@novauviolon Жыл бұрын

@@justmeherethereandeverywhere I'd say it actually did carry over to other iterations of the franchise, just in a more subtle form. Luigi was the timid one in the animated segments because he was the smarter one; his being nervous and questioning the viability of whatever the heroes were doing was what distinguished him from the others' gung ho tendency to leap into action, and it's a trait that we see again in the RPGs and at the start of the new Mario movie. Sure, everything always works out in the end because Mario's the hero, but if we're being honest every time Luigi says something to the effect of "I knew this was a bad idea," he's pretty much correct. There's a reason that when he finally got his own dedicated game series, it wound up being predominantly puzzle-based.

A big question for me is what colour you'd go with for the character. Mario is red and blue, Luigi green and blue. Purple and yellow are then taken by Wario and Waluigi. So what does that leave for a third brother? Orange? Turquoise? None of the options are as striking as the already-taken colours. Next comes the dilemma of design. There's only so many variations of "moustache and overalls" you can do before it gets stale. Honestly, if I was designing a third Mario sibling, I'd go with a younger or older sister instead. Feels like there's much more room for creativity by going in that direction!

Actually, _Wario_ is technically the third Mario brother, seeing as Pietro was literally a fake. According to a licensed coloring book, that asks "Who is Mario's brother" the correct answer that can be found by connecting the dots or whatever, and is also written upside down, is *Wario.* So... yeah. This makes the information equally as canon as "Kerog" and slightly more canon than your average Prima Guide information.

For the past few years, I've had in my headcanon that there's a third Mario brother who keeps the plumbing business back home afloat and handles the day to day stuff while they're away. Dorkly called him Guisseppe, even gave him a matching outfit but with brown overalls and a brown hat with a "G" on it. While most of Dorkly's overly deconstructive humor gets an eyeroll from me, or maybe a quick laugh when they did a good job, I've always really liked the idea of someone who holds the fort down at home while the other two Marios are away.
