Luigi has a bulge, and we don't know what to do with this information

And yes, someone actually calculated how big his junk would be.

It's pretty much confirmed: Luigi has a dick.

Nintendo is releasing Mario Tennis Aces for the Switch in June, and its promotional material features the Super Mario gang in fun athletic new outfits. But some more salacious gamers were focused on one revamped character in particular.

People freaked out over Nintendo's image of our favorite sidekick, because if you zoom in enough, Luigi has a defined bulge in his pants.

Here's a close up. It's definitely there. Those mesh athletic shorts are holding in something.

And as Christopher Butcher pointed out, people are getting really into figuring out how much Luigi is packing.

Yes, someone actually did the math to figure out the measurements of Luigi's penis. Tumblr user fortooate found that if the length of a standard tennis racket is 28 inches, or 300 pixels in Nintendo's promotional image, and the bulge in question measures out to 40 pixels, then Luigi's flaccid penis must be about 3.7 inches long. It's simple algebra.

But as fortooate said, there are a lot of factors in this bulge measurement that we don't know. People just think it's great that Luigi has a penis. This news is just as important as when we found out that Mario has nipples, or that Toad's mushroom head is actually his head and not a hat.

What do you do with this information? That's up to you. Just know that there is an artist out there who was paid by Nintendo to animate this bulge.

Nintendo may refuse to answer questions about Mario's sex life, but at least its fans know that Luigi has the equipment to do it.
