In a typical scenario, when I imagine undercover police work, it’s usually associated with movies featuring stakeouts where officers use binoculars from hidden cars. However, during the Sao Paulo Carnival, Brazilian cops took a unique approach by disguising themselves as Mario and Luigi to apprehend suspected thieves, making for an unexpected undercover operation!
Governor Tarcisio de Freitas posted a video on X featuring three police officers. Two of them were dressed up like Super Mario Bros., while another seemed to be Yoshi. In the video, they can be seen putting a suspect in the back of a police car. The short clip also includes music from Super Mario World as its background score. Furthermore, according to Associated Press, Brazilian law enforcement officers donned Power Rangers costumes to apprehend several pickpockets and recover stolen smartphones.
After the Power Rangers, It’s Super Mario’s Turn! Our Civil Police heroes are undercover on the streets again, and this time it’s Mario, Luigi, and Yoshi who are taking down another cellphone-stealing, party-ruining criminal…

According to the AP, a tactic similar to what Brazilian police used last year was employed again during the Sao Paulo Carnival. This strategy aimed to prevent criminals from stealing phones and money from attendees of the event. The carnival took place between Friday, February 28, and March 4 (Fat Tuesday).
The mustached duo, the siblings, joined forces once more in the game Mario & Luigi: Brothership for Switch, which was released in November. This marked the latest installment of the RPG series since 2015’s Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam and also signified its first appearance on a home console.
In January, Nintendo unveiled the upcoming Switch 2, with an April Direct scheduled to provide more information about this forthcoming console. Moreover, the debut trailer for Switch 2 hinted at a fresh installment of Mario Kart, featuring Mario and Luigi going head-to-head in competition.
