A glitch in Super Mario Bros. 3 allows Mario to defeat Pile Driver Micro-Goombas (the hopping block enemies) in an unintended way by simply ducking under them as they land (left) or merely standing still if he is Small Mario (right). Note that this will not work if Mario is touching a wall. (Footage recorded by me in a NES emulator.)

How come this interaction is never talked about??

They may not have hugged, but they still want to comfort each other in some way after both going through such an ordeal.

It’s cute brotherly love, in a 3D Mario/Luigi title. Make this happen in more installments Nintendo!
