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.

Daisy x Luigi: Approve. They look cute. ^_^

Wario x Mona: If it doesn't work, I can take Mona. I'm indifferent, but the picture alone is a laugh.

Waluigi x Daisy: DO NOT WANT >XO!!

Toadette x Toad: I know incest can be ugly, but I'm not really against it. They're make a cute couple. I didn't know they were siblings, though. When did this get established?

AtomicDexter In reply to ??? [2008-07-29 06:13:04 +0000 UTC]

The most promising out of all of the couples is Luigi and Daisy. The games have stated a romantic relationship between these two out of all of the couples listed on this chart, so, yeah, it's cannon.

Waluigi with Daisy? Sorry. Hell no. There is no proof that Waluigi is after her goods. In fact, strangely there is more proof within the games that Waluigi just doesn't swing that way entirely. Yay gayness!

Wario and Mona make a cute couple, but there is debate whether Wario himself has fallen for her. He just finds her cute, though, and that could be just it. Though I have optimism for this pairing, Wario could just love being around women in general (Kat and Ana, Ashley are two friends that come to mind.)

Toad and Toadette: Hello Alabama!

I never knew that they were siblings.

LuigixDaisy FOR THE WIN, DUDE!!!
WarioxMona is super cute, I'd say. ^^ The age difference kinda bugs me.
WaluigixDaisy is no. Just no. Noooooooooooooooooo.
ToadettexToad I thought was cute at first, but mostly because all Toads are cute, but then I found out they were related. Stupid Mario Kart Wii guide. I was mad enough finding out that Peach and Daisy were related (I just can't see them as cousin, really)

First pairing: Very cute couple. Their personalities are different, and it works.
Second pairing: Also cute couple, despite the age gap.
Third pairing: Just no. I still can't figure out how fans got the idea. Especially when Nintendo has been somewhat hinting toward Daisy x Luigi.
Fourth pairing: I'm neutral.


I didn't know Toad and Toadette were related.

The Luigi x Daisy is probaly the best of tham. Wario x Mona umm.. no don't really see that happening (even if that was supposed to be a joke). Waluigi x Daisy your kidding right? Toadette is Toad's Sister, their something I didn't know. I probaly support the idea if the whole brother sister thing wasn't their. I kinda knew about some of these couple and I really don't try to look for them.

Well I have different feelings about each and every of these couplings. You should read the description comments sometime.

And yeah, Toadette is apparently Toad's sister.

Thanks for the comment!

No, I've read it. These are just my opinions. Tell ya the truth I really don't care to much of fan-base relationships. Mario x Peach and Luigi x Dasiy are really the only ones that I've taken a intrsest to.

Banjoenelbano In reply to TheBourgyman [2008-09-19 23:07:49 +0000 UTC]

they both have some gender issues; as Snake and Otacon point out in SSBB, the ever popular Green Yoshi known simply as Yoshi, is male yet lays unfertilized eggs.

Damn you Nintendo and your loose definition of gender in regards to dinosaur monsters!

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

TheBourgyman In reply to Banjoenelbano [2008-09-19 23:29:45 +0000 UTC]

My theory on that is that male Yoshies can't have their eggs fertilized and thus, can't give birth to other Yoshies. They only can use them as an attack item, hence why they can produce them so quickly.

But that's my vision.

Daisy/Luigi goes further back than Mario Tennis, you forgot about the Movie!

TheBourgyman In reply to Banjoenelbano [2008-07-29 03:52:44 +0000 UTC]

Of course, but personally I don't consider the movie to be cannon, in terms of character development (especially considering that Daisy could've easily be named Peach, because of the role she plays in the Kindgom).

There's this NES Golf Tournament thing though that might've hinted something waaay back then (but then, it's not much).

Hazlenaut In reply to TheBourgyman [2008-09-01 04:34:41 +0000 UTC]

looking back at the move we try to forget or make fun of. Daisy proves she was more a tomboy when she came to the Mario bros with a machine gun asking for help again and prove the pairing with Luigi and Daisy. the movie did answer a few question such as Mario and Luigi last name Mario answering why they are called the Mario bros an leave so many questions of it connected to the game. respect the source when making a movie based on a comic, video game, tv or etc.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

TheBourgyman In reply to Hazlenaut [2008-09-01 14:04:45 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, some people tend to forget that the movie was more of an adaptation, rather than a real lame attempt to be loyal take to the games, which it wasn't. That's why I love the movie nonetheless. And it indeed explains a lot of things that otherwise weren't precises in the games, or in the other comics. Even with the incoherences and stuff, it's still fun to try and use the information in those movies and come up with your own interpretations about the obscure side of the Marioverse.

Hazlenaut In reply to TheBourgyman [2008-09-01 16:24:08 +0000 UTC]

yeah it also puts in for any character that doesn't have last name. One example dexter from Dexter Laboratory his family known as dexter family that put in that dexter last name is dexter so its Dexter Dexter.

WAHHHH first pairing so freakin CUTE ( i know u saw that coming ) hes got such a cute expression WxM looks cute here X] but meh i dont see wario with anyone though, thats just me lolz at WLxD i would do the same thing if someone paired me up with him BIG LOLZ on the last heart her face is freakin funny XD same with toads lol i love his line i never knew that before until i saw someones comment awhile back the heart slowly change color with each pairing well LxD seems like it could be real though :3 with nintendos little hints but ya still just a fan pairing XP great job here man do u have a fave pairing?

TheBourgyman In reply to Nintendrawer [2008-07-29 04:12:52 +0000 UTC]

Didn't know you were into that LxD thingie, Monica!

I know what you mean about Wario! I couldn't see him with anybody before too, but I don't know, this one just seems interesting to me! Maybe it's just the way people like ~LoveandCake draw them, it looks really adorable.

And yeah, I was surprised to read recently that Toad and Toadette were related (surprisingly I never figured that out before). A couple of sources state it. Hopefully that'll keep some TxT fans down.

Yup, still a fan pairing, but Nintendo seem to be heading towards a real relationship, with that statue of Luigi and Daisy in Mario Kart Wii. By the time they make it real, let's hope!

And by the way, keep it up with these comics too, Monica! At the risk of saying the same thing to you as well (I just replied on Koji's comment), I really love the character developpment, the more 'human' feeling you bring to the Mario universe (with your 'I'd like you to meet...' comic espeically), and, of course, the humor. It doesn't get boring!

Anyway, thanks for the comment!

Funny thing is that I didn't really like the WarioWare characters at first. But I'm growing fonder of them as I play the games they're involved in (although I haven't played any WarioWare game in a looong time).

Mona's crush for Wario is mentioned directly in in-game text for the GCN WarioWare. It was immediately followed with in-game text along the lines of "eww, that's kinda gross."

That's generally my sentiments towards the pairing, too - though you made all of them look horribly cute!
