Luigi: Whoever said "one is the loneliest number" never had to be player two.

here

This series contains examples of:

• All Girls Want Bad Boys: Implied by Daisy when she mistakes Waluigi for Luigi. Subverted with her crush on Link.
• Ambiguously Gay: Link could really go either way, though he tends to lean more towards being Straight Gay.
  • No, he's pretty explicit about it.
    • That could be interpreted as him just trying to avoid Daisy outright.
• Animated Actors: The character's video game exploits occupy a weird space between this trope and actual adventures. It's most prominent with Link, though, who is explicitly referred to as being "on the set" of Skyward Sword.
• Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking: Luigi's possible past lives were that of dictators, murderers, and the Pringles Man.
• Bait and Switch: In one comic, the pudgy hero of the Mushroom Kingdom whose name starts with M is finally showing up in the comic! It's Mallow, from Super Mario RPG.
• Berserk Button: Daisy's is claiming she's just a Palette Swap of Peach. Link's is pointing how he's hardly in the titles for his games.
• Better as Friends: Daisy tells Luigi this. He's just happy to finally ''have'' a friend.
• Big Beautiful Woman: Daisy is made much chubbier than the other princesses. She's still quite cute. Not that anyone else will give her a break about it.
• Butt Monkey: Luigi to a ridiculous degree. There's also the Goomba that complains about how he always has to worry about getting squashed...just for Fox to trample him moments afterwards.
• Celebrity Resemblance: An in-universe example happens when Rosalina mistakes Luigi for Freddie Mercury.
• Chew Toy: Luigi.
• Creepy Child: Lucas. It says something when quoting lyrics from Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street isn't out of character for him.
• The Ditz/Cloud Cuckoolander: Rosalina is a literal space case.
• The Eeyore: Lucas.
• Eldritch Abomination: Rosalina paints a picture for Luigi. The painting is of Weegee, from the PC game Mario is Missing!. Naturally, Luigi freaks out. Its eyes even move.
• Enfant Terrible: Baby Peach.
• Evil Counterpart: Luigi has one in the form of Waluigi, who constantly mocks him despite the fact he may be the one person who actually sucks more than Luigi.
  • Luigi even calls him out on it. See "The Reason You Suck" Speech.
• Gamer Girl: Daisy.
• Gay Best Friend: Link, for Luigi. He's not particularly fabulous, but he does have a bit of relationship-wisdom to him.
• Genre Savvy: Luigi at times.
  Luigi: Wait a tick. I haven't seen Mario in a couple of weeks. Has he gone missing? Is this a haunted jet ski?
  Person: Uhhhh...
  (Luigi grumpily hangs up the phone)
• Gonk: Wario, Waluigi, and Donkey Kong.
• Heroic Mime: Averted with Link. He handwaves it by saying he just doesn't get to talk a lot in his day job.
• Heterosexual Life Partners / Odd Friendship: Luigi and Link.
• Interspecies Romance: Between Pauline and Donkey Kong.
• Jerkass: Waluigi and Captain Falcon. Zelda is implied to be one.
  • Captain Falcon may actually be acting like a Jerkass to cover up the fact that he is in fact just as lonely as Luigi.
• My Local: "Sub-Space," which is a bar where Luigi, Link, and Daisy often hang out.
• Puppy-Dog Eyes: Luigi's are strong enough to work through the phoneline. Mario also apparently has them.
• "The Reason You Suck" Speech: Luigi gives quite a nasty one to Waluigi after he's spent two comics trolling Luigi. In fact, he begins to tear up afterwards. When Luigi starts to feel bad for it, Waluigi takes advantage of the opportunity and gives him an atomic wedgie.
  Luigi: I suck? I suck!?! Look who's talking, you freak! How many games have you been in, huh? Mario Tennis? Yeah, real winner there. And what? Did you wake up one morning and think "I'm sick of playing with myself. I should do something with my life. I know! I'll dress up like a crappy evil clone of a second-string video game character." Yeah, way to aim high, pal. I may have low self-esteem but I think you are the only person who actually sucks more than I do. So you can take your "secret message" and SHOVE IT WHERE THE WARP PIPES DON'T GO!!
• Samus Is a Girl: ...except Luigi doesn't know that. When she offered him the time of his life, Luigi refused, saying that he didn't swing that way.
• Take That: Peach describes Twilight as "those trashy vampire novels".
  • The comic takes a few digs at the outfits in Super Mario Galaxy and New Super Mario Bros.
• The Unfavourite: It wasn't really surprising when Luigi was revealed to be one. However, in an earlier comic, he says that he was apparently Mama's favorite, at least.
  • Actually, he's Mama's favourite "Not-Mario". Poor Luigi.
  • Taken to an incredibly pitiful level here.
• When Life Gives You Lemons: ...be thankful it didn't give you rocks.
• Wounded Gazelle Gambit: Waluigi pretends to be hurt by Luigi's beatdown of him in order to lure him in for an atomic wedgie.
• Yaoi Fangirl: Daisy is one, if her Axel/Roxas poster is anything to go by. Also perhaps why she's not deterred by Link outright telling her he's gay...
• Your Princess is in Another Castle: Referenced in the first comic.
