Gamers rejoice! Mario and Luigi dog Halloween costumes exist. And they’re amazing. Mario and Luigi from Super Mario are two of the most famous brothers around. And the iconic red and green hats and overalls make incredible dog Halloween costumes.
Mario’s fist appearance was in Donkey Kong way back in 1981, while his twin brother Luigi made his first appearance in Mario Bros. in 1983. And the two brothers have been in a ton of video games ever since. They’re easily some of the most recognizable video game characters in the world.
So it’s no surprise that Mario and Luigi would be popular dog Halloween costumes. Two dogs can go out on Halloween dressed up as Mario and Luigi together or, like in the Instagram picture above, a dog and its person can go as Mario and Luigi together for Halloween. Either way, the dog is guaranteed to look adorable with those classic hats on.
There are plenty of other Halloween costumes from the Super Mario franchise for your dog to choose from too. Besides Mario and Luigi Halloween dog costumes, your dog can also dress up as Princess Peach or Yoshi for Halloween. I’ve also seen Toad, Koopa, Chain Chomp, Bowser, and other dog Halloween costumes inspired by the Super Mario video game franchise. However, Mario and Luigi are the most popular costumes. They’re classics for a reason, right?
Unfortunately, our dogs can’t play video games with us. But at least they get to get in on the action during Halloween!
