Mario Brothers

[MikeVic]

Why were Mario and Luigi called the Mario Brothers? It wasn't their last name that was Mario. Well, if it was then that would be dumb too. Mario Mario and Luigi Mario.

It's like if there's a John Smith and Mark Smith that are brothers, and someone calls them the John Brothers.

What's the deal with that?

It's dumb. http://imdb.com/title/tt0108255/

[MikeVic]

Whoa what the hell.

[stevew]

It is Mario Mario

[MikeVic]

Their parents were dumb.

The better question is why did Nintendo make Birdo a tranny.

[MikeVic]

Is Birdo a tranny??

[Logan]

No link this time, sorry.

[MikeVic]

Damn.

[Logan]

Pumpy can surely PM you some tranny links though.

[Abe Sargent]

Someone been reading my dynasty?

[MikeVic]

Your dynasty is about trannys?

[Greyroofoo]

Their parents were dumb.

What did you expect? They're Italian...

[Cringer]

Nintendo is dumb, that explains it.

[Big Fo]

Is Birdo a tranny??

From the instruction manual for Super Mario Bros. 2:

“He thinks he is a girl and he spits eggs from his mouth. He’d rather be called Birdetta.”

In later games Birdo is usually referred to as "she" but then suddenly switched back for Mario Strikers Charged. As far as I know there aren't many other trannies in gaming, it's yet another way Nintendo is leading the industry.

Boo, Pyser beat me to posting the link to the RC-car/bottle SMB theme....

Still, talk about having too much time on your hands. :)

The Badgers had a guy named Duany Duany on their team. He was from Sudan and it was a tradition to be named like this.

Maybe Mario is Sudanese.

Capcom's got a thing for trannies. It's frightening.

According to a guy in there, it's just Mario and Luigi.

Maurice Morris

Mario was an asshole in Donkey Kong. Kidnapping, animal cruelty, you name it. Then suddenly he gets his own game, the PR folks get a hold of him, and he's some sort of role model?

No sale, plumber. I haven't forgotten the crimes your commited on my ColecoVision.

[korme]

Ruben Boumtjie-Boumtjie, William Williams, and Maurice Morris are not the same thing as Mario Mario.

The first example is just a double last name, the second one is similar except the last name is plural, and Maurice Morris isn't even close.

The only true way to come up with a Mario Mario-esque match, is to play OOTP or FOF

My dentist when I was a kid had a Donkey Kong arcade game in the waiting room. Pure genius, just like your post.

There probably is a Smith Smith out there.
