Nintendo Statues

&nbsp In the Animal Crossing for the Gamecube, it is possible to get statues of Mario and Luigi by telling special passwords to Tom Nook.

How to get it.
In order to get it, you must tell Nook two certain passwords; one for the Mario statue, the oher for the Luigi statue. One set of codes was released by Nintendo Power, which can be proved by telling Nook a certain password for either statue, and when entered, he'll say'"Oh, yes. This prize just came in from Nintedo Power". There is another code to get them, but it appears to be won from a glitch, backed up by the fact when the special password is finished, he'll say you won it from a contest, but the contest's name is glitched letters.

Appearence.
The Mario statue is golden, referencing the fact that Mario is highly recognized as Nintendo's main icon. He is standing tall and proud. The Luigi statue is Silver, referencing that Luigi is often seen behind Mario (Gold being more popular than Silver). Luigi is taller than Mario and is slouching, perhaps meaning that he's a little depressed that Mario is in the spotlight while he isn't.
