When we think of Mario and Peach's chemistry in the games, any rescue scene is usually what comes to mind. But there's one bit of Mareach interaction I just had to talk about because it's honestly one of my all-time favorite moments with these two.
The introduction sequence of Luigi's Mansion 3.
We see our characters on a bus ride, and the two of them are sitting side by side. Peach appears to be laughing at something Mario said, and they're both having a great time. All goes smoothly until Toad swerves to the right, causing the passengers to lose their balance and bump into each other.
It takes them a second to steady themselves, and the first thing Mario does as he opens his eyes again is glance at Peach with a smile. But it's not his trademark grin. His expression is quite softer than usual, and meeker too.
Even rarer still: he then lets out a timid chuckle. Something I've personally never seen him do in any other game. He's being shy, bless him. Not openly flustered or delighted, but actually shy.
And what does Peach do? She returns his smile with a bright and gleeful "Yahoo!". An all too characteristic exclamation that she has undoubtedly borrowed from him over time.
It's a very small and brief moment. But OMG does it say a lot about their dynamic.
It captures everything that I find so very charming and endearing about their unspoken affection, and it's a very good example of how I imagine those calm and blissful moments between them to be like. The moments we never see as players, but which are surely there as well.
I wish there was one instance where we got to fully see what a pleasant and peaceful day was like for them. But if this is the closest thing we're ever going to get, then I'm okay with that.
Because this scene alone is downright adorable and it makes me very happy. 😊💞

I love the Enstars !! main story, I really do. It has wholesome friendships, allusions to things that you'll laugh off before realising they're serious, and is basically a political thriller disguised as an idol game story. But to me it's also the story of a 21 year old guy picking a fight with an entire business industry and a bunch of high schoolers, and I'd laugh (I do laugh) but if that doesn't encapsulate the 21-year-old experience, idk what does.....

I don't go here but you're so right about gale, that's all
he is AWKWARD and ENDEARING and TOO SMART FOR HIS OWN GOOD
he has a CAT, a LIBRARY, and a self-professed WEAKNESS FOR A GOOD GLASS OF WINE
in all seriousness though, he is such a great character and i love him a lot!! he's definitely one of my top 3 baldursgate characters (shadowheart and wyll tie for #1 depending on my mood lol) and he deserves to be appreciated more!
