The Luigi 'Shroom

The Luigi 'Shroom will be an item added to a new game for Wii U called "Mario Maker". In this game, you'll be able to make your own Super Mario levels, whether they're pixelated or computer animation. You'll also be able to add tons of new or old items, power-ups and enemies, but one unique item is the Luigi 'Shroom, a tall, skinny mushroom that resembles the Dried 'Shroom (Paper Mario series) and makes Mario tall and skinny. So why was such a unique and useless item added to this game?

Well, this item actually has a strange backstory that I've never heard any game do before. You see, this amazing yet useless item is based on a glitch that's not that famous. In the original Mario plat former, Super Mario Bros., there was a bug during development that made Mario really Skinny, like Luigi. I'm pretty sure Nintendo put this in kind of as a joke, but I don't have any proof that they did. All I know is this item is based on that glitch and I don't see how it can be useful whatsoever. If I somehow get a Wii U and this game, I'll try to post some more information on the Luigi 'Shroom (mainly how it's useful).
