No wonder he is Green. You see it is all about the political implications of Mario.
Mario is in the limelight, and his red costume represents the post-Marxist movement which seeks to recreate the hey-days during the 70's where people were open to new ideas and sought out ways to fight against the establishment. Bowser is the establishment, and Goombas are the capitalist swine that get in Mario's way. Koopas are the police.
See Luigi takes a backseat to Mario because he is part of the nonviolent resistance group. Luigi believes in his cause, but he isn't as forceful about it as Mario (see crappy Luigi games like Luigi's Mansion). He likes to get stoned, so he doesn't have the time for it as well. Too busy getting STONED, nigga! But he seeks a peaceful resolution to our problems nonetheless and doesn't believe in Mario's methods. He may or may not be a child molester.
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson
