Drawing a connection between the Tweels being Azuls only friends as kids because they would not fucking leave him alone vs current Azul not leaving anyone (read: Jamil) alone when he wants to befriend them
FOLLOW UP: Local Whirling Accelerando, suspect of possibly knocking off local loser, Panicking Alla Mambo, ended up getting knocked off the platform by a Self-Destructing Gushing Trionfale!
Realistically, the 1up shroom would be the best plot-wise, but I can’t stop thinking about double cherries and the comedy of Mario turning around and finding like four Luigis
I suspected the 1up would be the favorite for many. At least 85% of this fandom wants to see a Mario Brother have an emotional breakdown over their sibling and I am among them.
But actually... my number 1 choice would be the hammers because of the fight choreography possibilities. The hammers make good defense AND offense tools, and I would love analyze the different ways Mario and Luigi handle their weapon and perform combo attacks.
Also, I noticed there were some flails on the gift table for Bowser and Peaches wedding...
I don't know if those were just decoration.... but if the stars align and we get a scene where Bower uses a giant spiked flail against the hammer-wielding Mario brothers? I would die from happiness and then explode. They would have to call someone to scrape me off the floor of the movie theatre with a spatula.
My second choice would be the 1-up, of course, because I love to suffer.
I would also love to see the "Oh God no" reaction in the theatre the first time a Mario brother eats a green mushroom like "hey, what does this do?"
My third choice is, surprisingly, the metal cap, because.. again... the fight choreography possibilities.
I imagine that at first they fumble the powerup because they don't know how to function with the sudden heaviness, but eventually learn to use the power to their benefit, especially when shielding their sibling from a heavy blow, or using the newfound weight in an attack.
BUT... the double cherries would also make a banger action sequence. Imagine Bowser trying to take on 5 Marios and 5 Luigis at the same time.
Sheer chaos.
