Super Mario Galaxy: Luigi spotted in demo video

If you recall, the official Wii website for Super Mario Galaxy stated that the game is meant for two players but no further details of it has been explored, and so far Luigi has been a no-show… until now. In a demonstration video of the game, Luigi makes a short four second appearance.

Of course it has to be noted that the video doesn’t show anyone playing Luigi so we can come up with two theories: (1) You can’t play Mario and Luigi at the same time and the two-player option is probably taken in turns or (2) Luigi’s just making a cameo appearance. After all, even the Official Nintendo Magazine didn’t say anything about a playable Luigi.

If you watch the video, you’ll see Luigi doubled up in what is either fear, worry, or heartburn from eating too many mushrooms. He’s either waiting for his turn until his brother Mario shows up or he’s a part of the stage’s goals. Either way, Luigi is in the game. It stands to reason that he’s controllable, but we’ll have to wait for official confirmation before we get our hopes up.

Here’s the Japanese Wii Experience demo vid itself. Oh. And Happy Harroween! Teehee, we kid!
