 Season's greetings and welcome back to the video game storytime advent calendar. Did you know that Mario and Luigi are twins? Presumably not identical twins, but twins nonetheless. According to Mario and Luigi creator Shigeru Miyamoto, the reason why Mario and Luigi were originally twins is when we did the original Mario Brothers, Game Memory was very small. All we could do was have the exact same character and just change the colour in order to distinguish between the two. But as memory became bigger and the technology advanced, we were able to make Luigi taller and have the jump performances and make the distinctions between the two. So they do not necessarily look alike, but they are definitely twins. Makes sense. So when Mario calls Luigi his little brother, he's being facetious because there's only a few minutes separating the two. But then, that's pretty typical twin behaviour. Join us tomorrow for the next tiny video.
