In Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2, Luigi's eyes do not respond well to his death.

If Luigi dies from being hit by an enemy attack, the stacking of his eye and eyelid textures will become glitched, causing one of his eyes to have a white pupil, while the other one will go blank and lose half an eyelid.

Due to Luigi looking down during this and the in-game camera showing him from above, this is relatively difficult to see during regular gameplay, which may explain why it was not caught during development. This was also not fixed in any subsequent release of these games.

You will be required to do wrong no matter where you go. It is the basic condition of life, to be required to violate your own identity. At some time, every creature which lives must do so. It is the ultimate shadow, the defeat of creation; this is the curse at work, the curse that feeds on all life. Everywhere in the universe.

- Philip K. Dick, "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" (1968)

The time will come when I’m no more than a dried-out heart sitting before my writing paper, and even then I’ll find a way to discreetly remember you—don’t worry.
