Twins in video games

Remember back in the early days of video gaming, when there were a lot of characters who were twin brothers or sisters, which was a convenient excuse to re-use the same sprite over for two player games? Nowadays, we have much better processing power available and the use of twins is a lot less frequent, but a pair might still pop up here and there in games. Let's list all the video game twins we can think of. Here's some of the more obvious ones.

Mario and Luigi: A DUH!!1!1 When Luigi first appeared in Mario Bros, they were identical. Since Super Mario Bros 2, they've been considered non-identical, and they haven't used the same recoloured sprite since Super Mario All Star.

Billy and Jimmy Lee: I'm not sure wether they're actually identical twins or not. They use the same sprite, but they have different hair color.

Bub and Bob: Dinosaurs-dragon things spitting bubbles around are so beautiful. I think they were supposed to be identical.

Nick and Tom: Snowmen from the obscure game Snow Bros. Basically a clone of Bubble Bobble where you trap the monsters into snow balls and roll them into walls.

Find more, guys. They can be either playable characters or villains, as long as they're twins. I won't count evil shadow clones, like Dark Link. Only actual twin siblings.

Lan and Hub
Porom and Palom

if there were two guys on the moon and one of them killed the other with a rock that'd be pretty fucked up wouldn't it?

In the version of Super Mario World I played, they changed luigi's sprite to look different. You only got this version bundled with Super Nintendos. Came with updated versions of Super Mario Bros 1, 2, 3, and lost levels. Kick. ass.

Also, battletoads

but with super mario world added, it had a different cover too. Good, good stuff. I wish you could get it on virtual console, all they have there are the nes versions.

I know it was allstars, I'm just saying it was a different version.

Sure it's more of a repackage, but it's not the exact same game.

Gaming twins, hmm... well, they're not always friends. Nights and Reala, anyone?

Twin Snakes ^^
I never understood why Snake looks and sounds exactly like Big Boss but Liquid somehow sounds like Thurston Howell and looks like Cate Blanchett.
Tha fuck.
