Where I come from, my online haunt long before Destructoid, we have a certain rule -- thou shalt pay homage to the Green God. The superior Mario brother, Luigi, is something of a cult figure in my part of the 'hood, so it's with great pleasure that I wake up to this awesome news tidbit -- Luigi is a playable character in Super Mario Galaxy.
Upon completion of the game, it's been revealed that, much like with New Super Mario Brothers, you will be able to control the Holy One himself in all his grass-colored glory. Praise be! Subscribers to Luigism everywhere will be dancing in the streets and, hopefully, calling off the Luihad they'd declared.
A full scan of the guide, containing all the juicy details, is provided if you want to know more. Just clicky clicky, kids.

Ken is a playable character in Super Street Fighter Turbo High Definition Remix. (or for short SSFTHDR)
FIXED AGAIN: "Ken is a playable character in Super Street Fighter Two Turbo High Definition Remix. (or for short SSFTTHDR)"
Maybe if we complete as Luigi, we can play as Waluigi!
I only hope that the next post won't be about Yoshi dying trying to protect a planet from a meteorite.
Boycott DToid!!!
"pushing the bastard child through the threads"
i didnt know child birth could get MORE disgusting
The point is, it was supposed to be a reward for finishing the game, even Kotaku had a warning.. This was a pretty uncool move..
So Thanks Dick Breath!!
just like almost all mario games (-sunshine and the original 64 and paper marios)
Jim, you've ruined a part of Super Mario Galaxy for me. Be a man & admit your mistake.
I on the other hand believe that playing as Luigi is a GAME FEATURE! I want to know I can play as Luigi because it will make me want to buy the game (and a Wii).
Haha, okay.
YOU COLLECT STARS..... SOOO INNOVATIVE
I find solace in knowing what comes... after.
Also, this is the greatest news ever. You have no idea how happy you've made me, Jim Sterling.
Mario has a bee suit.
George Bush doesn't care about black people.
SOYLENT GREEN IS PEOPLE.
Seriously, gamers are the whiniest, most spoiled group of people on the face of the Earth. You'll go to arms over any insignificant little thing, won't you?
