Mario VS Luigi

**Mario VS Luigi** is the fourth episode of DEATH BATTLE! But it's DBX, featuring Mario and Luigi in a battle between strongest twins.

## Description

What is this madness? Why are the Mario Bros. at each other's throats??

## Interlude

(\*Cues: Invader - Jim Johnston\*)

Wiz: Their rivalry is legendary and their fame unmatched. After battling for over two decades, this epic duel will finally meet a decisive end.

**Boomstick: I've been waiting for this forever!**

Wiz: Mario, the whimsical Italian plumber.

*Boomstick: And Luigi, Mario's younger brother. He's Wiz and I'm Boomstick.'*

Wiz: And it's our job to analyze their weapons, armor and skills to find out who would win... a Death Battle.

## Mario

(\*Cues: Buoy Base Galaxy - Super Mario Galaxy\*)

Wiz: Mario is one of the Star Children and possesses many special abilities with the intent of protecting his home, the Mushroom Kingdom. Even as a baby, he was obviously destined for greatness.

**Boomstick: When you've got an army of dinosaurs serving you before you can even speak, you know you're gonna do great things.**

Wiz: He is well known for his incredible athleticism and unmatched jumping ability.

**Boomstick: Who says white guys can't jump?**

Wiz: Plus, he's a powerhouse, with the strength to lift heavy objects and crush enormous castles. He also uses his bare fists to smash solid brick.

**Boomstick: With his jumping skills and weight, he can pound and crush his foes into oblivion, and if he needs some extra firepower, well, he's got his entire arsenal of power-ups!**

Wiz: His first power-up is the Fire Flower. With it, Mario obtains pyrokinetic abilities.

**Boomstick: Really? I always thought the flower was just really spicy.**

(\*Cues: Bowser's Lava Lair - Super Mario Galaxy 2\*)

Wiz: He can create and manipulate fire to produce a variety of devastating attacks.

**Boomstick: He's also got this Frog Suit thingy. While wearing it, Mario can jump even higher, swim even faster, and breathe underwater. The only problem is no one's really gonna take him seriously wearing that thing. Ha ha! Ah, look at him!**

Wiz: Several different power-ups have granted Mario flight before, but none as well as the Cape Feather. With it, Mario can fly for an unprecidented amount of time.

**Boomstick: The Metal Cap turns Mario's entire body into indestructible living steel. But while Metal Mario's extremely heavy, his strength and speed are boosted, giving him ten times more power and just as much agility as before.**

Wiz: The Starman envelops Mario into a blinding aura of compressed energy, granting increased speed and complete invulnerability for a short time. Touching a normal enemy in this state will instantly kill the foe. And while it's not technically a power-up, Mario has a Hammer that can crush almost ANYTHING.

**Boomstick: It seems like Mario's always popping 'shrooms to get more power. And with the Mega Mushroom, he gets GINORMOUS, mowin' down people, plants, environment, hell, everything!**

Wiz: Mario has battled a larger variety of enemies than any other video game hero. Whether a foe is large or small, scary or goofy, dumb or deadly, nothing has ever proved too much for him.

**Boomstick: Except for keepin' track of his woman. She's always gettin' kidnapped and he's always showing up at the wrong castle. Somebody needs to throw a GPS tracking bracelet on that bitch!**

Wiz: He is fairly impulsive and not much of a strategist, preferring to quickly fight his way through problems before thinking things through.

**Boomstick: But that doesn't matter, Italy's greatest hero can power through anything!**

*Mario: "It's-a me, Mario!"*

## Luigi

(\*Cues: Super Mario All-Stars - Game Select Theme\*)

Wiz: After clobbering Koopas, besting Bowser, and saving the princess, who gets all the credit?

**Boomstick: Mario, of course, leaving his lanky brother with rejected sloppy seconds.**

(\*Cues: New Super Luigi U - Main Theme\*)

Wiz: No doubt, Luigi has it rough. Despite being born as one of the seven star children destined for greatness, it's not easy being second fiddle to the most popular character in video game history, yet he doesn't seem to mind. Like a good sidekick, Luigi exists only to help Mario, never asking for his own slice of the cake.

**Boomstick: So he's pretty much a slave.**

Wiz: In a way, but this devotion makes him the perfect teammate, helping to save the Mushroom Kingdom time and time again.

**Boomstick: What did Mario do to him to make him so obedient? He's gotta have some serious dirt from their childhood.**

Wiz: Luigi may take subordination to an extreme, but he's no pushover. In fact, he's not only taller than Mario, but also faster and more athletic. He can jump over 6 feet higher, plus after studying Yoshi's superb jumping ability, Luigi developed his own variant of the dinosaur's floating technique, the Scuttle Jump.

**Boomstick: His abilities don't end with the mid-air hustle, Luigi has plenty of powerful attacks, each of which, if pulled off perfectly, increase their damage for quick KO's.  The spinning Luigi Cyclone, the rocketing Green Missile, and the Super Jump Punch, which can send his foe up into the air so high, they never come back down.**

Luigi sneaks up on Jigglypuff from behind and uses the Super Jump Punch, knocking Jigglypuff into the background. *Jigglypuff: JIGGLYPUFF!!!*

(\*Cues: Athletic Theme - New Super Mario Bros. Wii\*)

Wiz: In addition, He has numerous power-ups at his disposal, including his trusty hammer and the Vanish Power Flower, which makes him invisible and intangible, Luigi could be next to you... watching you... right now.

**Boomstick: Aahhh, stop that!  He was trained by the Thunder God himself in the powerful Thunder Hand technique. With this he can shoot lightning at his foes or at deadly soccer balls.**

Wiz: And after spending so much time in Mario's shadow, Luigi has somehow gained the ability to manipulate some sort of negative energy.

Luigi dances, creating the Negative Zone.

(\*Cues: Battlerock Galaxy - Super Mario Galaxy\*)

**Boomstick: Remember when Mario Bros. was about running around and jumping on turtles? Anyway, you were saying something about physics breaking time energy or whatever?**

Wiz: Luigi's Negative Zone can devastate a nearby opponent. Its effects are random, but unavoidable, ranging from sudden dizziness to uncontrollable tripping over absolutely nothing.

**Boomstick: But when Luigi wants real firepower, he busts out the Poltergust 5000, a handy vacuum cleaner which can somehow kill ghosts! It can KILL that which is already DEAD.**

Wiz: He ain't afraid of no ghosts!

*A ghost appears behind Luigi, frightening him.*

(\*Cues: Professor E. Gadd - Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon\*)

Wiz: Scratch that, he's afraid of all ghosts, bugs, water, flowers, the sun. Luigi is a coward and doesn't even try to hide it. Granted, his fears are usually justified,... usually.

**Boomstick: He's also pretty clumsy, and you'd think would make a terrible combination. But like the Chinese Drunken Master style, Luigi harnesses awkwardness to make himself even more vicious. He's more powerful than he seems, murdering Goomba and Koopas by the hundreds every day.**

Luigi uses a cannon on the Koopas in "Koopa's Kartoon Show".

(\*Cues: Mr. L/Green Thunder - Super Paper Mario\*)

**Boomstick: Ha Ha. Before we go any further, I'd like to point out that the unmaking cannon belongs to a bunch of children. "IS IT BEDTIME NOW MOM?!" Goush! No more parents!**

Wiz: Even without it, Luigi has defeated Dimentio, discovered the Grand Final Galaxy, raised a ravenous man-eating dinosaur, and even rescued Mario from certain doom on three separate occasions.  The Green Thunder can pretty much do it all.

**Boomstick: Luigi is one mean, green, fighting machine.**

*Luigi: \*Puts on Poltergust\* Yeah. \*Speaking into the nozzle\* I do it. Ho-ho!*

Luigi dances, then accidentally bumps into a car, which then causes a shelf to fall down.

*Luigi: Oh...*

## Death Battle

'*FIGHT!*

**MONSTER KO!**

## Results

**Boomstick: We just set a Death Battle record!**

Wiz: Not only did Mario and Luigi take each other out, but also Yoshi, Cake and Bowser. While Mario's famed fear of thrown objects kept him at a distance, Luigi's indecisiveness and daredevil recklessness ruined any chance she had.

**Boomstick: I dunno, Wiz. At least Luigi turned him into roadkill before giving the wall a face high-five.**

Wiz: A face high... what? Luigi did a horrific job!

**Boomstick: Well, let's let the audience decide on who sucked the most.**

Wiz: Leave a comment detailing who you think was the most pathetic.

**Boomstick: This fight really popped! Y-You know, 'cause... they're pop stars and... they blew up...**

Wiz: This battle is a draw.
