Mario and Luigi, brothers who seemed friends

Mario Mario and Luigi Mario, these are the real names of the company's most famous characters Nintendo and of the history of video games. A kinship that many do not know, but that is a reality from their Origins in the 80s.

Maybe it is because of the little resemblance they keep by what They have always related them as friends more than as brothers. Luigi has a thinner appearance, although they share style with the same mustache and plumber clothing.

And is that the same Miyamoto, creator of the franchise, he admitted in 2012 that after the name of the first video game a Spanish translation of the simplest "The Mario Brothers" (Mario Bros). That is the detail that confuses the vast majority of fans and interpreted Mario as the name and bros as the last name, when it really was the noun of the video game title.

A detail that has led to confusion and that Miyamoto himself had a hard time believing to such an unusual question. There is no more blade, they are brothers and it was clear from 1983 that the first video game was launched, We have invented the rest of the story.

Miyamoto himself dared to talk about the age of the characters in the interview: “Normally, when a character is created and presented to the world, all the details have to be known, such as what is their favorite color or what he likes to eat. But with Mario, apart from the fact that he is approximately 24 or 25 years old, we do not define anything else. ”

A detail that makes us speculate on Luigi's age, who is recognized as The younger brother And not like many who wanted to place him as his twin brother. So we can assume that the green brother would be around 22 or 23 years.
