2. Luigi's Death Stare - Mario Kart 8
NintendoThere's nothing like an awesome gaming meme, and the release of Mario Kart 8 brought with it the so-called Luigi Death Stare, which originated with
this hilarious video of Luigi hitting Waluigi with a green shell and giving him the scariest, creepiest stare imaginable, set to Chamillionaire's Ridin'. The slow motion only enhances the hilarity, and the clip caused a worldwide Internet Luigi sensation which was even picked up by several major news outlets, while enterprising players began creating their own videos set to a variety of different songs. Rainbow Road may be the best track in Mario Kart 8, but checking out our replays and scouring for the creepiest Luigi face has pretty much taken up just as much of our time playing the game, and why not? Whether Nintendo placed the creepy mug in the game intentionally or not, they have transformed Mario Kart 8 into a social media darling, and it can only help its already substantial profile.
