Luigi Hilariously Beats Sonic's Shadow In Ridiculous Real Kart Race
Things rarely go Luigi’s way in the Super Mario Bros series, but the green-clad brother of Nintendo’s favorite mascot recently managed to pick up a hilarious win against Shadow The Hedgehog of Sonic The Hedgehog fame in a hilarious toy cart race. While Luigi and Shadow are very different in terms of personality and backstory, the pair share many surprising similarities as well. Both are essentially palate-swapped versions of the main characters of their respective franchises that match their skills and abilities, both are popular enough to have gotten their own spin-off games over the years, and both have cute baby versions of themselves that fans adore — though Shadow’s younger self was only brought into the world very recently thanks to KartRider Rush+ introducing Sonic characters last week.
Shadow The Hedgehog and Luigi are also quite famous in the world of video game mascot go-kart racing. Luigi has torn up the track in the long-running Mario Kart franchise, while Shadow revved up his various red-and-black-painted vehicles of choice in the two Sonic And Sega All-Stars Racing games and 2019’s Team Sonic Racing — not to mention the three Sonic Riders spin-offs, which saw Sonic and his friends racing against each other on rocket-powered jet-boards through futuristic tunnels and colorful landscapes. However, while Shadow and Luigi have competed against each other in several Olympic-style minigames in the Mario And Sonic At The Olympic Games series, they have yet to face off on the go-kart circuit — until now.
