I mentioned this in a recent reblog, but I noticed Mario’s expressions here. I know this part of the Luigi’s Mansion DM ending was short, but for me it says something.

Notice how Mario isn’t just surprised or simply confused. His eyebrows give him almost entirely different expressions, ones you would see when a character is anxious and afraid.

Mario was scared. It may not seem like a big deal, but with a less passive character like Mario, this is definitely worth noting.

He could’ve been thinking he was going to see King Boo when he was taken out of the painting, not knowing what he’d do. However, he saw Luigi instead and becomes so happy to finally be free 😀

Just a small thing. I like to analyze things too closely, especially micro-expressions like these. Add other things if you’d like (just be nice).

In the early 1990′s, the German Club Nintendo magazine insisted on making the L on Luigi’s cap red. This stylistic decision is present in all artwork commissioned for the magazine, including the comics, until 1995. Here is a selection of “red L” Luigi artwork seen in just a single issue of the magazine. (Source: Club Nintendo (Germany), Issue 1992/3).
