When it comes to certain AAA titles, we want to know just how well a game is doing as soon as possible after it launches. October 17-20th was one of the most packed release windows in 2023, as three AAA games were set loose upon the gaming world. While there will be some argument as to which is the “biggest one,” we already know the sales results for one of those titles, and now, it’s time to get a tease of one of the others. Specifically, Super Mario Bros Wonder has apparently done so well that Japan felt the need to show how much it dominated!
Luigi's Death Stare Returns In Super Mario Bros. Wonder
08.10.2023 - 21:51 / thegamer.com / Luigi
Mario fans who have been getting their hands on Super Mario Bros. Wonder's demo have pointed out that Luigi constantly looks angry during gameplay, just like he did nearly a decade ago in Mario Kart 8.
We're just a few short weeks away from the launch of Super Mario Bros. Wonder, but Nintendo fans in the US have been able to play the game early thanks to a demo booth that can be found at select Targets. Although the demo itself doesn't have all that much new to report on and is mostly more of what we've seen so far, it has highlighted how surprisingly angry Luigi looks whenever he's on-screen.

The sudden realisation that Luigi wants nothing to do with what's going on in Super Mario Bros. Wonder seems to have begun when Twitter user DynamoSuperX shared an image of everyone's favourite Mario brother about to throw a fireball while the word "Good" floats above him in mid-air, which DyamoSuperX said was the "rawest luigi pose in all of mario media". Fans were quick to point out how angry Luigi looks in the screenshot, before reminding each other that Luigi often looks angry in Mario games, even if he looks particularly peeved in Wonder.
You might think that Luigi just looks that angry when he's about to attack an enemy in Super Mario Bros. Wonder but, as pointed out by SuperMarioOOC85, he actually looks that way a lot of the time. They shared four images of Luigi from various screenshots of the demo and, no matter if he's walking, throwing a fireball, dashing, or even just jumping, he's glaring right at the camera and looking about as angry as we've ever seen him.
Well, the second angriest we've ever seen him. As several Twitter users were quick to point out, Luigi's angry look in Super Mario Bros. Wonder is shockingly reminiscent of his infamous death stare from Mario Kart 8, which became a meme back in 2014. It's unlikely that it's a direct reference from Nintendo, but it is funny to note that Luigi is once again angrily staring at the camera with intent to kill in his eyes in a Mario game while everyone else looks as gleeful as ever.
As funny as it is to imagine Nintendo purposefully making Luigi a very angry boy in Super Mario Bros. Wonder, there are several shots of him where he does look at least a little happy to be there, so it's likely just a case of resting death glare face. Still, we're going to headcanon it that Luigi simply has no interest in being there.

Super Mario Wonder's Elephant Mario Is Getting A Plush In 2024
It's Super Mario Bros. Wonder week. It's also Marvel's Spider-Man 2 week and Sonic Superstars week in what might well be the busiest few days for big releases in video game history. If the review scores are anything to go by, Wonder is the game people are most excited about. Makes sense as it's the first major Mario game hitting Nintendo Switch since the plumber's movie grossed more than $1 billion. It will also introduce Elephant Mario to the Mushroom Kingdom, and Nintendo has already confirmed the main character's new look will be turned into a plush.

Internet briefly thinks it's identified Mario's new voice actor - until he says no
It's been a dramatic day for internet-sleuthing Mario fans; with Nintendo still tightlipped on who'll take over the role of the iconic plumber following Charles Martinet's acension to «Mario Ambassador», a fresh leak appeared to have finally revealed video gaming's current biggest secret. However, the actor in question — one Mick Wingert — has now thrown a bit of a spanner in the works by declaring that, no, it's not actually him.
