    1:11 - you say it sucks for Luigi, but I’d argue it shows that their parents loved Luigi more as they gave him an actual name; when it came to Mario they were like “Ah fuck it, just make our last name also be his first name.” Could also explain how their personalities are so different - their parents mollycoddled Luigi while neglecting Mario, forcing him to learn to be self sufficient.

    I believe what actually happened was that the original line that was recorded was infact "So Long King-a Bowser!" but they decided to trim it down to just "So Long Bowser!" for the game but they did such a shit job at trimming it down that it ended up still having a bit of the "ga" sound in there from "King-a", resulting in it sounding like "So Long Gay Bowser!".
    This comes from the Nintendo giga leak that happened a while back. The uncompressed and more high quality version of the sound effect was leaked, which still sounded like he is saying gay but analyzing the sound effect revealed an obvious cut before he says that which suggests that the sound was trimmed down.

      Oddly enough and this is probably more a matter of just being particularly sheltered is I always heard it as "So Long, K. Bowser" with the "K." being short for King. Like King K.Rule from Donkey Kong Country.

      ​@@krysbrynhildrI can definitely see how you heard that. For me I always heard gay Bowser but I also grew up when everything was called gay for some reason.

    Mario and Luigi have a lot of lifts at the end of things they say. That's their verbal tic, but don't let that get in the way of the cement drinkers who will try to claim Luigi's name is actually Aluigi and when Mario says "Letsa go!", he's actually using the very obscure Italian phrase "Let's ago", meaning to fondly remember the glory days of ages long past.

Just hearing the music play and over dramatic voice lines of the cast screaming “Snake? Snake!
