Description Aww, shipping. You simply can't avoid it in a fandom. If you're the kind of person who's searching for every single piece of Super Mario fan fiction on the surface of the Internet, you'll notice that pretty much every possible combination has been made, no matter if it's straight or gay/lesbian. Here's those that particularly stand the test of time.


LUIGI x DAISY: First introduced in Mario Tennis, then hinted in Melee and Mario Kart Wii, this pairing is one of the favourites in the Mario fanbase. It's also very interesting to see how diametrically-opposed characters can work out as a potential couple (Daisy is brash and tomboyish, Luigi is shy and a bit of a punching bag).

WARIO x MONA: Wario rarely gets paired (seriously) with anyone. If there's one that stick out the most, though, it's probably this one, which seem to work alright. In the WarioWare games, Wario and Mona work with the same goals in mind, and seem to have some kind of chemistry. The apparent age gap between them doesn't seem to be much of a bother to the fans.

WALUIGI x DAISY: Waluigi first existed only to serve as a partner to Wario in Mario Tennis. He didn't grow much as a character since then, but considering Daisy was reintroduced in the series at the same time he first appeared, people like to put them in the same boat (or should we say in the same SHIP?). Waluigi is said to have a crush on Daisy, but does she reciprocate? 

TOAD x TOADETTE: Of course, because two characters of the same species yet opposed gender often appear side-by-side, people just HAVE to pair them together. On that point, some game guides hint at the fact that Toad and Toadette are siblings. That obviously won't stop people from pairing them together, but still, something feels wrong about it. And despite the fact that Toads are now considered to be a genderless species, it would be nice if Nintendo would come with more variations of female gender-role playing Toads. There's a bit of a Smurfette syndrome going on here.


(Can't get enough of that wonderful shipping? Rejoice! There's a second part HERE !)


All characters belong to Nintendo!


Update, 2018-06-23: brushed up and streamlined the descriptions a bit to reflect my current feelings on each pairing.

Yes, yes they are indeed fan-based relations NO DOUBT ABOUT IT. Wait a---pt. 1... Now I'm excited. X]

Anyway, gotta love your style Bourgyman. ;] For some odd reasons my eyes are drawn to the texture on the heart frames. 1st up, Luigi and Daisy, (heh-heh ), and the moment I saw Wario and Mona up I went, "ah! I know that one (yup, ) " but when I saw Waluigi & Daisy, PFFFFF...cracked up. Daisy's face there...funny. XD;;; It's funny how she's trying to GET OUT of the heart circle. Toad and Toadette, yeah seen that one too and it...well I have no clue about that one. Nice one man.

*reads artist comment* <--- CAUSE I'M INTERESTED DANGIT! XD;

....<__< LOL, yeah I'm with you on the every thinkable couple being created and as of late I've come across yaoi/yuri ones as well IN the Mario fandom. O___o;;;

Your level of approval faces caused me to die of laughter. XD;;; If I could your comment I would. Not only was it fun to read, but I like your presentation (both in art and description ) and informative for any avid Mario fan. I just noticed....the hearts get colder in color, durrr! X]

Thanks for your comment Koji!

The texture for the hearts is from a roses picture. It doesn't show too much, but at least it gives some style to the hearts (didn't wanna go with a single semi-shaded color, mheh).

And thanks too for commenting on the description, I actually wondered if this was too much for people to read!

Oh, and keep it up with those LxD comics. I seriously love where it's going right now, and like a lot your character development (and the dialogues are excellent, too!)

Ah, now I see it. That's neat and indeed fitting and more styled than a single color, like you said. As for descriptions, yeah I also wonder if people even bother reading when it goes over two rows.... <.<;; but I'm sure your faces reeled some of them in more. X]

Sorry about this late reply, (I'm infamous for my delay ) but I also wanted to thank you for replying to me and drawing the awesome artwork that you do. Your reply here really lifted my spirits, Bourgy. (lol, again if I could fav this reply I would XD;; )I feel much more assured about my comic. X] So thanks.

Chromattix In reply to ??? [2008-07-29 02:38:59 +0000 UTC]

First of all...LOL, clever idea, and Daisy in the top frame reminds me of Rouge the bat from the Sonic games

And as for toads, well it's the same with the smurfs...a predominately male race with ONE "Smurfette" to fill the sexual desires of all smurfs out there (even if she is their sister )

TheBourgyman In reply to Chromattix [2008-07-29 03:34:02 +0000 UTC]

Hahaha, man, when you think deep about it, there's such a perverted vibe emerging from the whole "100 Smurfs vs. 1 Smurfette" idea. Way to go for raping one's childhood!

Thanks for the comments!

Yup, they are, according to Nintendo.
