The Demise of Mario

[@dorkly]

Hey Hey! We know it's an old Lowbrow Original - but stay tuned for some big news next week!

[@goullet86]

No! But ok.

[@themandaloriangamingnetwor4964]

I honestly love watching these re uploads even binged watched the pokedex videos

Do you guys at Lowbrow manage the entire Dorkly channel now? Please keep it going. I love your work!

[@15GS973]

yes but ok

[@civilwildman]

What, you couldn’t announce it in this vid? Can’t come up with something original? Preying on nostalgia by recycling old vids?

[@carlmplay4163]

When I first saw this sketch, I expected more than a dream from Norm, I expected Mario to appear out of nowhere, saying that he still had three extra lives left.

[@carlosroldan8260]

Same

[@werty21100]

Yep but instead as soon as norm dream ended mario stomped him like it was trivial same for norm family lol 😂

[@if7723]

That's the thing, it wasn't a dream. Marios lives reset reality back from when Norm was victorious.

[@Sly88Frye]

The extra live thing would have still been ingenious though. But no it's probably more funny that it's a dream

[@attackehh]

[@dauntlessasmr7910]

When Bowser wanted him to have a beer, I knew it was going to end as a dream sequence. Alternative Ending: Luigi goes on a rampage to avenge his brother's End. Turns out he was possessed by the spirit of Mario. _"But Luigi is dead in Nintendo canon for years since his last dedicated game he starred in."_ Yeah, we're just going to ignore that fact.

But Mario's one brother is named Giuseppe and not this "Loogie" you mentioned.

There's a Mario-inspired webcomic called Mushroom Go, where the titular Go, a Toad wakes up with amnesia after being rescued by a Sand Ship. He meets the ship's captain, a Koopa who was once in Bowser's army. She tells Go a legend about a psychotic, unstoppable monster wielding Toad magic who decimates her people by the thousands. The comic shows a silhouette of Mario as she tells the story. It's a great series. The creator stopped making it at some point, but I don't know if they ever went back to it.
