Mario Universe -- Luigi Is Dead and Daisy Is Deformed

  So Mario games are full of creepy shit apparently. Knowing that, we're (as in me, and my sister) not so shocked to find out that Mario fans are always looking for hidden conspiracies in those games. We are, however, a little disturbed by what they've actually found.  

  Take Luigi's Mansion for GameCube, which is about Mario's taller, greener brother hunting ghosts in an old mansion. According to an urban legend  that keeps popping up in the always-reliable gaming message boards, if you go to a certain room, stand in a specific spot and wait for lightning to strike, you can see what looks like Luigi's shadow hanging from the ceiling. As if he had just committed suicide.  

But that's ridiculous, of course. We'll even go ahead and disprove this rumor by taking a look at that part of Luigi's Mansion and ...

  ... oh, shit. That does look remarkably like someone's shadow hanging from the ceiling, in a game about haunted mansions and ghosts. 

  There's some debate about what it actually is: Some say it's a glitch, while others claim the game was originally meant to be much darker and this is one of the leftovers from the beta version  ... but they're all ignoring the simplest answer: Luigi has been a ghost all along.  

  And then there's Luigi's girlfriend, Princess Daisy, possibly the most fucked-up character in Mario history. If you don't believe us, do a YouTube search for "Hi I'm Daisy"  Apparently, when they included her in Mario Kart: Double Dash for GameCube, they only gave her a single spoken phrase ("Hi, I'm Daisy!"), causing her to repeat the same thing over and over and over like a murderous psychopath.  

  But in case you don't think that's disturbing enough, how about the fact that she has a third eye in the back of her head? If you win Daisy's trophy in Super Smash Bros. Melee, go to the trophy gallery and zoom in until the camera clips underneath her hair. You can see something that clearly should not be there.  

  This could be a modeling error, but what's odd is that it doesn't look exactly like Daisy's regular eyes: It's all misshapen and gross-looking.  

  This is so well-known that Daisy's third eye was later incorporated into her character in M.U.G.E.N a freeware fighting game that takes random characters from different franchises. Oh, and it shoots lasers.
