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.

What? Toadette is Toad's Sister? Oh man... and in MKWii? They've hand-in-hand... Oo strange...
Oh and for Luigi X Daisy... it seems who Daisy loves Luigi ( beacuse of the golden statues) but Luigi...? Did Luigi really gift Daisy or something...?Oo For Wario and Mona... well... I think the same thing... XD they'll form surely a great couple!^^
Waluigi X Daisy? Haha... funny scene!XD
I want see more ^^ I'll wait for the second part

Yes... it's said who Daisy is the counterpart female of Luigi... and for the Daisy Circuit... Daisy decided to make that gold statues... not Luigi! Luigi has to make something for Daisy for example... a gift!^^

Saving her(Or unless Luigi gets kidnaped.) from an evil tyrant trying to make a new galaxy?

Or

Baking her a pie.

Darth-Eletius In reply to B-Yoshi [2008-08-03 20:46:29 +0000 UTC]

Amen!
Hopefully the other best place for this to expand would be the paper mario games. I've always liked the story telling edge so maybe things might get best described, rather then having the same plot lines.

"OH MAI GAWD THE PRINCESS HAS BEEN KIDNAPED BY BOWSER! OH NOES! LETS COLLECT 151 STARS AND THEN WE'LL RAID THE CASTLE!"

That's what I'm meaning.

I'm not sure about "pairing", but when I used to play MK: Double Dash all the time, my favorite combo was Waluigi and Daisy. I think they make an awesome pair, albiet only when you leave out any hints of romance. Daisy's uppity shouts of glee went well with Waluigi's egocentric taunts at the end of every race, which is why I used them most of the time.

Anyway, I like that couple, just not romantically. And I think Wario lost some weight in that picture.

Cosplay-Thief In reply to ??? [2008-07-29 18:03:47 +0000 UTC]

hehe, I didn't know that Toadette was Toad's sister.

I ended up liking the Daisy/Luigi pairing thanks to the fanart and the Wario/Mona became a loved pairing strictly because of loveandcake. Really it's so rare something like that happens but yea.

You forgot Yoshi/Birdo. While I don't approve of this pairing (even if it is the female!Birdo) I'd be interested to know your opinion on that pairing.

TheBourgyman In reply to Cosplay-Thief [2008-07-30 01:37:49 +0000 UTC]

Thanks!

I'm pretty sure the Wario x Mona couple became popular because oi her as well. But I don't know, it just seemed like so fitting, even considering the personnality of Wario.

For the other couples, yeah I know I forgot a whole lot. But that's the reason why there's a "pt. 1" in the title.

TheDJTC In reply to ??? [2008-07-29 16:54:35 +0000 UTC]

Well the RPGs showed female toadsters.

Wait... Toadette's his sister?!

I was unaware of that.

Personally I think love is just a lie made to make it through so I don't go for shipping.

TheBourgyman In reply to TheDJTC [2008-07-30 01:34:03 +0000 UTC]

Yup. Yet in the official games, I think there is still only one female Toad.

Above your definition of love, well... IT'S DEBATABLE!

hmm. Well its still funny and weird that a guy dinosuar lays eggs, and that a pink dinosuar thing spits eggs out of its mouth and they are both considered male on most stuff. Birdo scares me. and so does that pairing.

OMG! I don't know where to begin!

Well, Ill begin saying. I TOADALLY AGREE WITH YOU ON THAT THEROY OF TOAD AND TOADETTE! I mean, you are definately right on how she is kinda "like" a surfette amoung the smurfs. I know Paper Mario made female genders and all. Then you are absolutely right on how they made a "toadette".

Anyhow I don't have much more time. I love this one, and I am so going to fav it

They'll need to do serious character development on Waluigi before they could give her someone.

Maybe Waluigi will get hit with a frying pan and go home.

Um...kidding...I guess.

Rosalina and Waluigi just seems so random... And if Waluigi does ever get a girlfriend, it sure isn't gonna be a princess.

Ha, pretty awesome work on the expressions and posing here, made me laugh a lot.

Incidentally I'm sure it has actually been said that Mona has a crush on Wario in one of the Warioware games (or instruction book accompanying one). Though it also states afterward how bizarre the concept is. Either way it's not too far-fetched. Wario could do a hell of a lot worse, lol.
