Ok, this popped into my head at work one day.. Why is it called the super mario brothers?

When you refer to someone as brothers/sisters by name, you use the last name/family name. for instance "The amazing Ainsworth brothers" or "the olson twins"..

Now why is is that the supermario brothers are called mario? Is marios name Mario Mario, and lugis name lugigi Mario? if anything, it should be spelled "Mario and luigi, the super brothers" no? o.O
Again! i might be dead wrong! i just found it funny enugh to mention. its kinda wierd how no one never questioned that part.

and while were at it, it bugs me to hell that the alternative version of mario: wario, is named wario. while the alternative version of luigi is called: waluigi! WHY? why not Wuigi? there is no A there.. and it sounds much better. anyways, please enlighten me on this INTRESTING SUBJECT NG! D: !

lol.

Wow, never thought of that. You might be on to something!

or you can just call capcom and get a true answer >_>

Actually, people did, but no one from Nintendo bothered to clarify what their last names really were. However, a lot of non-Nintendo-made piece of media (comic books, the spawn of Satan) suggested that their surname was Mario, and that came to be regarded as their actual last name.

and while were at it, it bugs me to hell that the alternative version of mario: wario, is named wario. while the alternative version of luigi is called: waluigi! WHY? why not Wuigi?

"Waluigi" is a portmanteau of Luigi and walui, meaning "bad" in Japanese.

But then again, so was "Wario"... I guess they decided that Waluigi sounded better than Wuigi. Probably pronunciation issues with foreign consumers?

Shut up, I just happen to know these things on the off-chance, I swear. D:

3 words: Dennis fucking Hopper.

To this day it is my firm belief that he was paid solely in quaaludes and gin for his role in that film.

maybe we're living in a world where life is not life and mario's first name is pinkwallington
Pinkwallington Mario the thirtieth

ive bever been a mario fan myself. i just find the whole concept and all its holes really fun. =P
ofcource, its a game so it does not need an explanation. its just that mario is one of the biggest fictional characters in the world, and even tho its supermario brothers all around, it was never really explained.

i was hoping to find some italian secret fancy name from some hardcore fan, but i guess i is as easy as the last name beeing supermario =P

Also that game came out long ago when they didnt really care much for names.

Shut up, I just happen to know these things on the off-chance, I swear. D:

Huh! sweet. that block of text pretty much cleared my confution. thank you wise one. Still sucks tho! :D

Weegee??????

Lol. weegee.

holy shit, awesome.

Actually, if you have seen the movie, they do say that their last name is Mario.

You clearly haven't seen the movie

Many wish they never didn't ether.

That was a stupid movie.

Okay, it's Mario Mario and Luigi Mario. It was an idea that was decided by Nintendo, and it makes perfect sense, The Mario Bros. so both of their last names is Mario. It was a bit lame, but it makes sense.

Now then Princess "Peach." Let's look at her original name, Princess Toadstool. In Super Mario 64 she signed the letter at the beginning of the game Princess Toadstool, Peach. So her full name is obviously Princess Peach Toadstool.

Get it? If you won't a real brain-twister, what are Wario and Waluigi's Last names?

Who's Lugi an Lugigi?

And on a serious note.

Their names are Mario Mario and Luigi Mario.
I guess Miyamoto didn't think this one through...

wth those capcom know about Mario?

Mario and luigis last names are both mario and the reason it isnt wuigi is because "Wa" in japan means bad. Since the second letter in Mario is A the just replaced M with W for Wario and added a Wa in front of luigi for Waluigi.

yes. actually.

their last names are "mario".

Characters remaining: 8,192

Capcom? Yes... err...
Their last name is Mario, straight forward no?

Well that's quite possibly the most awesome thing I've ever been linked to ever.

Definitely the most awesome thing this week at the very least.

Why, in the movie, does Luigi have no mustache, that's just bullocks!

And why bother with a moive, and why is King Koopa a HUMAN???

That movie made no sense, but really, that was not the only mistake Nintendo made.
They made a sort of TV show that was called "The Super Mario Super Show" or something like that back in the 70's and this was stared by a ex-wrestler as Mario and a soapopera actor as Luigi, and the show involed Mario and Luigi talking about utter crap and inviting big list stars to the show to show of there new movie/product/shows and after woulds they would show a crap Mario cartoon or maybe a Zelda one.

Of course I have not seen it before but I have heard of it, but sadly I have watched those crap Mario cartoons, and they haunt me to this day (5 months after seeing them).
