Mario was so intimidated by 40 Winks that he hid inside his pipe for the rest of the Fifth Generation, and then sent Luigi out to launch the Gamecube.
All those posts on the tendienet claiming Luigi's Mansion and Pikmin were actually good launch titles? That's Mario making those posts.

He was warned he'd get arrested and have to serve the remainder of his sentence if he was found within 100 yards of a minor, a common problem for tendies.

pikmin is an incredible game, and luigi's mansion is super solid, the old people who are still salty about it are Very Mature Gamers Who Play Very Mature Games™

I think the "Move Over, Mario" quote on the box likely had something to do with that. The Japs likely weren't happy with third party publishers throwing shade at their golden boy.
