Luigi vs Tails/Rap Meanings

=== Tails: ===
An Engineer of Lyrics, never fearin' any test!
(In the games, Tails is known to tinker with electronics and other hardware, making him somewhat of an engineer when it also comes to designing gadgets. "Lyric" could be referring to the game "Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric" where Tails' voice actress, Colleen O'Shaughnessey, replaced Kate Higgins. Higgins is known to voice Pauline in the Super Mario Bros. franchise, and she is known to be a singer as she did the songs for Super Mario Odyssey, "Jump Up, Superstar" and "Lead the Way (I'll Follow You)". Tails is also known to have a high IQ, matching that of Dr. Robotnik's, and he isn't afraid of any test that he can't beat.)
Appears that Mario is missin' so I'm facing second best! Pest!
("Mario is Missing" is the name of a game that features Luigi as the only playable character. Tails is referring to Mario being missing also as a reference to a previous rap battle featuring Sonic and Mario in which at the end Sonic would be angered at Mario and would say that he'd go missing for a while, it would appear that Sonic kept his word. Tails is calling Luigi "second best" as Luigi isn't the best option in terms of playable characters in any Super Mario related game.
This fox is feastin' on this fat furry racoon,
(Foxes are known to be predators, and they would feast on other animals smaller than them. 'Fat Furry Raccoon' is a reference to the Super Leaf power-up, which gives either Mario or Luigi a suit that makes them look like either a raccoon or a tanuki [There is a difference]. Both of which give the brothers the ability to fly, albiet in different ways as either form. Tails is known to fly on his own two tails, which gets Sonic to high places. With the Tanooki power-up from the Super Leaf, Luigi and/or Mario could also do the same.)
And judging by how much you stink, I can see why you're number two!
(Obvious poop joke. Also referencing the fact that in some of the games, Luigi's catchphrase is known to be "I'm-a Luigi. Number One-a!, He's saying that Luigi isn't infact number one that he claims to be.)
It's Coward vs. Prower, you don't want to play, bro!
(Luigi is often labeled as the scared and timid brother, especially when it comes to the Luigi's Mansion series as he's constantly spooked by all the ghosts within each mansion he goes into. 'Prower' is the surname of Tails, which is full name is "Miles Prower". Calling back to Luigi being a coward, Tails is saying that Luigi's so scared to lose, that he wouldn't even want to go up against Tails.)
I'll be flying high and storming ya like a Tornado!
(Not only is Tails known to fly high with his own two tails, but he also flies a red biplane called 'Tornado'. Tails is saying that he'll be storming him, which not only refers to an actual tornado storm, but also the fact that 'storming' could also mean a forceful attack. Tails would be attacking Luigi with his Tornado.)
I'll pass it to the plumber, but nobody gives a crap!
(In the games, though not directly shown, both Luigi and his brother Mario are known to be plumbers from Brooklyn, a small borough in New York City. Plumbers are known for cleaning and unclogging toilets, sinks, and pipes. but no one even cared the fact that Mario or Luigi were actually plumbers. In the games, Mario and Luigi are known to go down large green pipes that'll either warp them to other worlds or the underground sewers, which would also call back to Tails' previous line where he said that Luigi stinks, that he went to the sewers a lot and smells like crap.)
Cause you already took an "L" when you put on that hat!
(Taking an 'L' means taking a 'loss', which Tails calls Luigi a 'loser' as he'll lose this battle. 'L' could also be referring to 'taking a leak' which would continue from the previous line, as the smell of Luigi's clothes during his time as a plumber, would make his clothes smell like bodily fluids from all the restrooms he's worked in)
=== Luigi: ===
Usually I wouldn't battle little kids like you!
(Luigi isn't known to go up against those who are younger than he is, which also includes Bowser Jr and the Koopalings. However, in the Super Smash Bros series, He does battle the aforementioned characters, as well as Lucas and Ness from the Mother franchise, all of which have a childlike manner and appearance.)
But based on your youth you're used to being bullied and abused!
(Tails is known to be bullied at a younger age, either by his intelligence by creating inventions that the said bullies would later destroy, or he's bullied for having two tails which a couple of coyotes pulled at them before he even met Sonic.)
I'm exterminating you, just call me animal control!
(Luigi exclaims that he's going to exterminate Tails, like a ferocious animal. Animal control could also be referring to Animal Crossing, which is a game that is developed by Nintendo. In said game, you play as a human character in a land inhabited by anthropomorphic animals. One of the Animal Crossing games has you portrayed as the mayor of the town, in which you take control of the land and all of it's inhabitants. Another thing they could be referring to is PeTA, which is an American animal rights organization and it once tried to sue Nintendo for Animal Crossing, due to their treatment of the digital animals. Luigi is saying that he'd go against PeTA and abuse Tails himself for his actions.)
And son you best respect your elders, you're just 8 years old!
(As of "Sonic Adventure", Tails is shown to be 8 years old, while the game is set in a four year time skip after the events of "Sonic & Knuckles", making his classic self as a 4 year old.)
An Inventor like yourself should realize you've been one upped!
(As mentioned before, Tails is known to tinker with any sort of technology, but Luigi calls him out for being a faulty inventor. "One upped" is referring to the 1-Up Shrooms that is shown within the Mario Bros. games, which the said mushrooms give the brothers an extra life. Tails in the game is stated by fans to not be able to actually die in the games, which would imply that he's taken a 1-Up shroom off-screen. However, this isn't the case)
It don't take a genius to compare our ratings and our sums!
(Due to his intelligence, Tails is somewhat considered a genius. Luigi states that Tails' intelligence wouldn't compare the ratings and sums of either of their respective franchises)
So soar all your heart desires you'll still wind up under,
(Tais is always known to be happy whenever he's flying with his two tails, or whenever he uses the Tornado when flying to far away places across the world)
When a Fox with Astraphobia flies his plane into green thunder!
(Tails is known to have Astraphobia, which is the fear of thunder and lightning. This is mostly relevant in 'Sonic the Hedgehog: The Movie', which is an OVA Anima miniseries. When Lightning strikes in a certain scene, Tails cowers behind Sonic, and admitting his fear of such.)
=== Tails: ===
With all your fireballs you still can't make a proper roast!
(One of the most common power-ups for either of the Mario Bros. is the Fire Flower, and they're used to burn enemies or for some random comedic effects in some cases. Tails is calling Luigi out for failing to roast him in the rapping as his rap verses aren't 'fire' to him, especially with Luigi's fireball power ups.)
You suck so much that you would think that you were rapping against a ghost!
(Luigi's Mansion is a 4-title game series in which Luigi has to use an invention created by a friendly scientist to free mansions from ghostly presences. With the invention, Luigi uses it to suck up ghosts like a vacuum cleaner. Tails would believe that Luigi would think that he'd rap against a ghost since he believes the green plumber is that bad.)
=== Luigi: ===
In Terms of Games, I've got the most, I've been a pro since the first day!
while you were meant for Gamer's Little Bros, too young to really play!
=== Tails: ===
Your blatant cruelty towards animals deceives me!
Don't you got a Yoshi to go raise, Mamma Luigi?
=== Luigi: ===
Oh you're talking down to me and acting like you are all tough?
Kid, you look like something I would wear as a Power Up!
=== Tails: ===
You must be afraid, but I know you can't run away!
'Cause the numbers say that my IQ is the same size as your weight!
Your year came and went so no matter how hard you try to flow,
You'll forever be recognized as the Green Mario!
Luigi:
You're a Freak of Nature with those tails spinning 'round!
I think it's time that this defected dog is finally put down!
Your adventure ends here, I'll use all my Star Power!
To be sure your speed now reads no Miles Prower!
