Mario is Superior to Luigi

"You're mistaking character design for character intentions. All of your "evidence" that Luigi wants to be Mario boils down to "the game developers made them similar" without referencing any sort of in-game canon that would suggest that Luigi has a conscious or unconscious desire to become his brother. Nothing about this makes Mario superior to Luigi." Well if you are going to say that it because of the game developers then there is no argument because everything would then be the will of the game developers. There is no in-game canon to suggest Luigi isn't inferior to Mario. Well, If so, I say that in making Mario the original character and hero, that the game developers intended Mario to be superior. Also, if we assume that they are not just governed by the video designers' will and that their actions are governed by the same factors as normal people or that the video designer created reasons for each character to be the way they are for a reason that would make sense for a real person, then if Mario was the original person with all the characteristics that Luigi shares, then what other reason would there be for Luigi to be so like Mario other than imitation? This is actually quite untrue, my statement that Mario is typically stronger was actually incorrect, upon further research I can only fond one instance in a canon Mario game where Luigi is weaker than Mario (Super Mario 2), In all other games their strength is identical. However, in a great many games within the Mario franchise one can defeat most enemies by jumping on their head once or twice. Regardless of which character you're playing as (examples including, but not limited to, Super Mario Bros. [2, Lost Levels, 3]). Strength really doesn't matter much. In addition to this in many games Luigi's powers are superior to Mario's in an unbalanced way. For instance, in The Lost levels Luigi is faster and can jump higher than Mario, Mario however, has better traction [1]. In Super Mario Galaxy Luigi could run faster and jump higher, the drawbacks were that it took a bit longer to get to top speed, his traction was again reduced, and he can't hold his breath as long. Water areas are less common than land ones in Mario games, rendering this drawback nearly meaningless, and being faster and a better jumper is a fine trade-off for not being able to stop as fast. This is true that Luigi can often jump higher and run faster, but he also in most games has less-powerful attacks. Mario gets by without jumping higher and running faster because there are items to help him with those drawbacks. However, when it comes to defeating the bosses, you need a powerful character like Mario to defeat them. This makes Mario a superior video game character. "I admit that I am not the most knowledgeable on the subject of love, but even one such as myself realizes that there is more to it than looks and abilities [2]. I'll put this into a hypothetical scenario: - A and B are males similar in abilities and appearance. - C is a female that is interested in A. - B is not interested in C - B is interested in D who is similar in appearance and abilities to C. Why does the fact that C is interested in A make A superior to B?" For one I would say that it is because they are so similar. Well it is not just that she is blindly in love with Mario. Mario rescued her from Bowser and defeated many fearsome and dangerous enemies and tasks to do so. Luigi did not accomplish this. Peach admires Mario for his accomplishments. He could not have achieved so much and Luigi not without Mario have some kind of superior character to Luigi.
