Mario & Luigi
Mario and Luigi of Super Mario Bros. fame might just be the most famous brothers in video games. These two have been through it all over the years whether it was setting a precedent for platforming perfection, karting with some friends, or appearing in some great handheld RPGs. But, they’ve brought something even more special to video games, something that they may just owe to their parents. No it’s not their jumping ability, nor is it their need to help everyone in need. It’s not even their talent at organizing some of the greatest sporting events and inviting their worst enemies.
We’re talking about their mustaches. Those well coifed tufts of hair under each of their noses add a level of class no overalls could ever hope to. Mario’s smile wouldn’t be as magical if it wasn’t for that thick curly mustache that sits above his upper lip. Luigi’s infamous death stare just wouldn’t have that same oomph if it wasn’t for the facial hair that made him look so menacing. No matter how you look at it, these mustaches are great and help to make two of the greatest characters in video games all the more recognizable.
