It’s not just the Luigi show, as the video also shows close up action of Mario, Donkey Kong, Baby and Regular Peach and Rosalina, Koopa Troopa and Toad all get a share of the limelight, passing each other’s karts in slow motion set to some sort of melodic chanting. But, of course, there’s no better marketing material than the inadvertent addition of the menacing, fear-inducing stare that has now been come to be the Luigi hallmark. The year of Luigi may have come and passed, but the haunting memories of being passed by the taller Mario brother in Mario Kart 8 will never be forgotten.
