Green Mario. The other Mario. Mario's little brother. These were the things everyone in the Mushroom Kingdom and everywhere else would regard the plumber in green. Grasping for a sense of self identity, Luigi struggles to find out what kind of person he wants to be, and if he'll ever be able to claw his way out of his big brothers' shadow, he's always been in.
After a certain action, his world suddenly turns upside down as he appears to have caught the attention of a certain evil Koopa that has been nothing but pure trouble for the Mushroom Kingdom. What will come out of this unlikely duo? Only time and a lot of patience will tell what will unfold between them.

"I mean, flying the castle into space and going into this long monologue about how I did it is really cool, don't get me wrong, Kammy," Bowser frowns. "But it's just so — easy, don't you think?"
Bowser can't see Kammy's eyes past those ridiculous specs of hers, but he is positive that her wrinkly Koopa skin shifts about as if she just rolled her eyes. Even Kamek had better manners. "Well Lord Bowser, would it suit your fancy if we install more spiked bombs for Mario to throw you into?"
Oh the mouth on that hag! You hoist yourself by your own petard one time and she never lets you move past it. "Listen, those spiked bombs looked really cool when I ordered them for my Dark World lair! How was I supposed to know Mario was strong enough to lift me by the tail and throw me around?"
Kammy holds her mean gaze. "That's all well and good but about at the Fire Sea, my lord? Or mayhaps the Sky World! You installed spiked bombs there too!"

Sometimes one event changes everything. It started as just another princess-napping and ended with everything crashing down. In the aftermath, when the dust clears, all that's left is an odd sense of kinship. Luigi never dreamed he'd end up another parent figure for any of the Koopa King's sizeable brood, but by the time he realizes that's what's happening, it's too late to turn back. But does he even want to? The closer he gets to Bowser's kids, the fonder his opinion of the King becomes. He starts noticing things about the fire-breathing monarch he'd never knew to look for before.
Only one problem: Bowser and Mario have no idea.

Rosalina noticed that, strangely, there was a big hole in the crowd, where everyone seemed to be staying away from.
Perfect for her, she thought, so she slipped right into the gap, and began backing away from the hordes of people, watching all the faces go by in a daze... until next thing she knew, she had bumped into somebody.
She jolted in surprise, and stumbled forward. "O-oh, I'm sorry." She apologized softly, and turned around to look at who she had ran into…
And what came into view was a face that she could never forget.
Bowser, the King of the Koopas.
"Bwahaha!" He heartily laughed. "All these idiots are cowering in fear of the KING, and you come right up and bump into me like I'm nothing! I respect the guts, I'll give you that much!" He remarked, his tone rather lighthearted and carefree.
Bowser... The man who had endangered her whole family…
She felt an emotion that she had never felt before…
And her hands clenched up involuntarily.
"You... YOU!" She yelled, causing Bowser to jump back in shock, jaw dropped.

Eventually, the prospect of fighting Mario grew so strong that it muscled its way out of his mouth when hanging out with Jolene during her lunch break. Without even thinking about what he was doing, Mush slammed his glass of orange juice down on the desk and stood up so abruptly that his chair nearly toppled over. He clenched his hands into fists, pressed his knuckles down against the veneered wooden surface, and puffed his chest out.
