The story so far
Everything you need before watchingLuigi is trapped in a dark cell while his captor boasts about marrying a princess and ruling the world. The interrogation turns personal when the villain demands information about the human traveling with his fiancée. Luigi resists, then proudly admits that the stranger is his brother Mario. This short exchange matters because affection, intimidation, sarcasm, and a memorable philosophical line all collide in one tense scene.
