Super Smash Bros. Teases Mario and Peach's Engagement

[Atmos Duality]

So, Nintendo is nudging the Mario Status Quo just a little bit?
That kinda is newsworthy considering Nintendo hasn't changed much of anything in the last decade.
Well, except introduce "Waggle" and "Wii" to some people's vocabulary.

So, if Mario and Peach get hitched, does he become Prince Mario? Will Luigi be best man and Daisy maid of honor? Who will give the bride away at the wedding? Toadsworth? Who will perform the ceremony? Rosalina, since she seems like the highest authority figure in the series so far?

Also, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew. I just got a mental image of their wedding night.

Still, if they get married, would it change all that much? Saving the wife from Bowser is not really different from saving the love interest.

After almost 30 years, you finally decide to tie the knot?

To be honest, Do Luigi and Daisy REALLY have that much chemistry?

Actually, they have much more Chemistry to them (Always officially being Boyfriend and Girlfriend) then Mario and Peach (Who started off dating, but then became pals... Blah blah blah) do.

OT: Well, that's a surprise to me! I thought they weren't dating anymore, but surprise surprise! They are!

Good for them.... They're not real.

Didn't the Galaxy games sort of give a few hints that Mario and Peach were more than just friends? I mean, Peach is referred to as his "special one" throughout the game, and the whole story is, as the game explains it, a metaphor for loved ones coming back together.

OT: It's probably an equivalent to the sticky bomb from Brawl. Or perhaps it is replacing the Franklin Badge? Maybe it is similar to the Franklin badge but has different properties. Either way, I'm betting this is an item, given how many screenshots rely on Peach and Mario performing moves that correspond to item placements that make it look like they are on a date.

Kinda reminds me of comic books when they wanted attention...Spiderman marries Mary Jane, Superman marries Lois Lane, and so on..... If it's true it reeks of desperation, but I'd bet on it just being a in-game screen. It's not even on the right finger.

Err... Peter Parker married Mary Jane because it was the natural progression of their relationship (as it had been written).

Hell, Peter would have gotten married way earlier if Marvel hadn't decided they wanted to keep him single; instead giving us The Night Gwen Stacy Died.

EDIT: Well, not so much single as unmarried. They thought marriage was the only place the relationship could realistically go, and no one was really comfortable with that at the time.

...I kinda want to see Bowser & Peach get married 0.0 Poor Bowser, he's just misunderstood.

But Spiderman and Supes have almost always been in an actual romantic relationship with their respective women (well Pete had Gwen Stacy before, but does she even exist any more? I haven't read marvel in years, and even when I did, MJ was the love interest), granted they do generate a large amount of publicity, but it's the natural progression given they've been written as being in said fleshed out relationships for years, especially for Parker where MJ is an even more integral part of his character than Lois is for Supes these days.

This on the other hand does seem a bit of a stunt. Sure Mario saves Peach all the time, but the characters are hardly fleshed out anywhere near the degree that would be necessary to extrapolate any form of romantic relationship, aside from Mario saving her, the only other interaction they have is Peach kissing him on the cheek and him blushing like hell.

My first thought after reading your post was that it would sound like the multiple coin block. Maybe a 1-up in there somewhere.

That does make sense. Though the 1-up would take about 9 months to actually pop out.

I direct you to my post above, the one with the Luigi and Daisy Statue.
I'm going to need to make a retraction X_X

Well, you have a point, considering that most Mario characters have the personality of a cardboard fish.

I feel like it'd be a little difficult for two characters whose most-uttered phrases involve shouting their names to actually have chemistry together; Though who knows, maybe they bonded over that fact.

OT: Chalk me up for another person who finds it unlikely that Nintendo is altering the status quo.

It'd be funny if they did, though.

Whoa whoa whoa, hold up. What about Pauline from Donkey Kong? The original Nintendo damsel in distress.
Mario you bastard!

They probably broke up when Mario moved to the Mushroom Kingdom.

The princess-saving business was obviously more lucrative than construction.

And now I'm wondering if there's fanfic out there that details how this happened.

*sigh* you people are reading way too much into this...
