Luigi is kidnapped - Nintendo

Luigi often plays the second violin in the Mario Games. Apparently he is still interesting enough to be kidnapped by a Nintendo competitor. The plumber has already proven with Luigi Mansion that he fits into a variety of games. In the following Sega-Game, however, the good looks a bit out of place.

Luigi is forced to swing flags

Actually, the appearance of Nintendo character Luigi in this game probably never see the public s light, but a recent leak on old Xbox and dreamcast prototypes has rinsed the untypical gastrole now to the surface.

Because then Erzkonfrädrent Sega has just caught the green plumber of Nintendo in a prototype of Sega GT and hidden it in a stretch of racing game. The game was released at the Sega Dreamcast and was also in competition to Sony s Gran Turismo 2.

In this Tweet you see how Luigi beats in the racing game of Sega:

Apparently, the developers of the game were simply allowed to enjoy a fun and Luigi built in a secret race where the Nintendo character was allowed to swing the victory flag happily. This version of the game was probably never determined for a release, as discoverer combylaurent1 suspected. (Source: Kotaku)

Also Sony gets his fat away

The name of the Luigi racetrack bears the name SonyGT2 , which is obviously a reference to Sony s Gran Turismo. Another indication that this is a magnificent developer joke.

The discoverer has always kept the appearance of Luigi for a myth and says the following:

When I discovered Luigi yesterday, I had to laugh loudly. I knew of old developer anecdotes that this type should exist joke. I just never believed that I would encounter in one of my prototypes.

In the nintendo adventure, Luigi mostly takes only a supporting role. His brother, on the other hand, has many successful offshoots:

Sega has ruled out the popular Luigi for a prototype of her racing game Sega GT and used it as a flag finger. The extraordinary appearance of the Nintendo-Character in the competition was actually just a joke among developers who had never been intended for the public. Until now.
