The year was 2013, Obama was inaugurated for his second term in office, Grand Theft Auto V was taking the world by storm, and Nintendo was celebrating what they liked the call, The Year Of Luigi. It was a great time to step back and appreciate the less famous Mario brother, and Nintendo pulled out all the stops for it.

One fascinating way they paid homage to this green-clad scardey cat could be found in Super Mario 3D World. Suppose you managed to platform your way through all eight of the game's levels. In that case, you'd be rewarded with an altered version of the original Super Mario Bros. 1983 game titled Luigi Bros., repurposing the beloved second brother as the protagonist.

However, avid Luigi fans who already had a save file for New Super Luigi U were gifted with the unlock right off the bat. There was no need to play through the game at all, as already owning a Luigi based title deemed you worthy of this bonus treat.
