Keep your eyes peeled and be sure to chime in with sightings of your own in the Talk Back thread below. As you pass this breakable wall, a gigantic Luigi will swim across the moat in the background from behind the castle pillars on the left. Isn't Bowser's car the most awesome thing ever? Anyway, after the stack of Goombas near the end of the stage the path will turn away from the camera and you'll be forced to kick some soccer-ball bombs into a breakable wall in order to proceed to the boss fight arena. World 1-Castle: Bowser's Highway Showdown Whether this is a tongue-in-cheek nod to the Japanese niconico “Kintamario” meme is up to interpretation, but if it is that's a pretty ballsy move for Nintendo. Sprites have the ability in Super Mario World to move and animate freely. You can see a Luigi doing a crouching dance on the back wall to the bottom-right. Right at the start of the level, before you drop down the Pipe, swing the camera angle around to the right and look out over the cliff. He can only be seen from this angle and disappears when you leave the Sprixie's podium! 4: Super Mario World (JP box art) Developer: Nintendo EAD Publishers: Nintendo, Hyundai(KR) Platform: SNES Released in JP: NovemReleased in US: AugReleased in EU: ApReleased in KR: 1992 This game has unused areas.

Personally I'm convinced that I'm simply not looking hard enough, so I'm going to put it to you, dear readers, to help me search! You'd be forgiven for missing the tiny guy, he's hard to spot!Īt this point in time I can't confirm whether there's a hidden Luigi in every level or simply a lot of them. One level even features a tiny Luigi flitting around in the breeze amongst a cluster of scattered leaves, the only way to see it is to have the camera in precisely the right position at the right time as the leaves blow past. They all seem to be simple 8-bit sprites based on his original NES look this time around, though some of them are animated, some can only be seen when certain conditions are met, and some of them are extremely difficult to find. Super Mario 3D World has continued this trend with a slew of hidden Luigis scattered around the game. Sometimes it was an 8-bit sprite hidden amongst castle bricks, sometimes it was a Luigi-shaped topiary in a flowery garden.
