Although he is always upstaged by his
fat brother, Mario, Luigi is obviously more skilled. He can run faster,
jump higher, and doesn't eat as many pizzas. He also sucks
nasty ghosts up with his trusty Poltergust 3,000. He can do all of this... and all Mario can do is shoot
water at stuff with FLUDD. Luigi isn't just the most underrated Mario character, but the most underrated Nintendo character too.
In 2D platformers, Player 2 is always Luigi. Luigi has only had two games starring him: Mario Is Missing, which shunned Luigi more, it being a crappy edutainment game, and Luigi's Mansion, which was a lot better and introduced the trusty Poltergust 3,000. Both of these involved Luigi saving Mario, which shows how lucky that
fat-
ass is.
Mario: "Luigi! Help! The Boos are taking me away again!"
Luigi: "Too bad, you ungrateful
fat-
ass! And if you get back, I'll beat your sorry
ass!
