Elvis Presley



Elvis Presley (or just Elvis) is a famous, currently desceased singer who is also a character from The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!

In The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! episode "Love 'Em and Leave 'Em / Will the Real Elvis Please Shut Up!", Mario and Luigi are in the midst of preparing for an Elvis Presley impersonater contest, when the real Elvis Presley, whom Mario and Luigi had thought to be dead, enters their apartment.

After introducing himself to Mario and Luigi and also calling Mario's costume of him somewhat bad, Elvis decides to aid Mario andLuigi in being more like him. At first, Elvis tries to teach Luigi how to do his signature "lip twitch" using a diagram; unfortunately, even after Luigi watches Elvis perform an example of the lip twitch, he fails to perform the lip twitch.

After Luigi disastrous results in attempting the lip twitch, Elvis, after drawing another diagram, tries to teach Mario his dance moves. At first, Mario dances quite good, but soon begins to dance haphazardly, knocking things down and singing some of Elvis' songs somewhat horribly.

Eventually, after Mario and Luigi fail horribly at imitating him, Elvis, after hearing Mario and Luigi say that if they did enter an Elvis Presley impersonation contest, it would break their mother's heart, decides to try something. Calling Mario and Luigi up onto a higher floor of Mario Brothers Plumbing, Elvis instructs them to sing together, which Mario and Luigi do extremely well at.

After doing their performance, Mario and Luigi turn to thank Elvis for helping them, only to notice that he is gone without a trace. After noticing Elvis is gone, Mario and Luigi suddenly hear a loud voice proclaim "ladies and gentlemen, Elvis has left the building"

Trivia

 * Throughout "Love 'Em and Leave 'Em / Will the Real Elvis Please Shut Up!", several references to Elvis Presley being dead are made by Mario and Luigi, additionally, Elvis simply dissapears at the end of the episode; All these factors seem imply that Elvis was, in actuality, a ghost.


 * In a later episode of The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! entitled "Elvin Lives / Home Radio" a character obviously based on Elvis Presley, named Elvin Parsley, appears.
