The world’s second favorite pixelated mustachioed plumber has seemingly been murdered by the Grim Reaper himself in a trailer for ‘Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.’
Our tiny green friend first hit the video game scene in 1983 and has been stealing hearts ever since. Naturally, the internet was devastated by this news. Here are some reactions…
Some used humour to deal with this sad loss:
since luigi died maybe we can contact his spirit with one of those luigi boards ive been hearing so much about

While others pointed out that he probably had a painless end:
The only solace in this grisly news is that Luigi appears to have been unconscious at the time of his death, so he likely did not suffer. – Kellen Beck, Mashable
But hope is not lost! Some say Luigi will be okay after all as we see him as a ghost.
False alarm: Nintendo says Luigi isn’t dead after all. #SmashBrosUltimatehttps://t.co/sQp0zKv6Cx
