[@donovanfaust3227]

Nah, he's built way too slippery which is generally terrible for a platformer. Sure you can get used to it but the fact a learning curve even exists for him makes him that much worse compared to other characters.

[@thatpuffberry]

i like the little detail that whenever he swears of whatever game character he's playing as it's the sound effect of their game/close to their video game counter part, idk i just find it neat 😊

[@brawlmasterjoelstudios]

Luigi being more slippery has always been a thing

[@PhantomOfficial07]

Recent games made it so Luigi's only thing is that he jumps higher and tbh I do miss when characters had weaknesses aswell as strengths. It actually made Mario a viable character since he doesn't have any weaknesses (at the cost of no special ability)

Super Mario Crossover is so fun, I remember my go-to characters were usually Mega Man or Ryu Hayabusa. Cool stuff, really curious as to where I can play it nowadays Also, I get why you didn't play with this option (except for when it was necessary), but Modern powerups were by far my favorite way to play the game. You get access to the vast repertoire of powerups from each character's games, which makes Mega Man and Bass even more silly and makes Simon a little better.

Difference between Luigi is not only he can jump higher, but his traction is low. This means he feels slippery as if he's on ice. His mobility is hard to control. Regardless, I enjoy using Luigi more than I do with Mario.

[@WyvernLP]

Simon Belmont has more than one weapon, but you gotta keep keep collecting power up without getting hit in order to get a new weapon. Axes, Knifes, cross Boomerang, holy water, and a stop watch that stops all enemies on screen for five seconds.

Ya Luigi's whole thing is that he jumps better, and overall is better physically speaking - but due to his cowardice and general lack of training his brother is still "better" via being much easier to control (less floaty).

[@cantmakeacreativename2072]

That’s actually a really good explanation for how weird it is to control Luigi. He’s still very unprofessional and slips up very easily. Hell, his increased jump height could be a result of that too. Mario’s experienced enough to know how high he really needs to jump and not overcompensate, while Luigi is constantly trying to overperform and do well. Much like a lot of people during the first day of their job.

Link: At the very least... we didn't have to deal with Zelda 2 link's massive hitbox- Samus: I think she may be one of the best, IF she's fully equipped. High jump, bombs, missiles and the wave gun would be required Simon: Thank GOODNESS he has a double jump. You can also throw his cross, holy water and iirc the dagger, but it's modern power ups Mega man: Great in nearly every way (besides mobility in the air probably) Bass: Practically a really good character to play as especially with his better manoeuvrability Bill Rizer: If only you understand... We're talking about CONTRA. One of the hardest NES games ever. You gotta admit it's pretty faithful to it's source Ryu Hayabusa: Pretty cool? besides his lower jump height and standard weapon Jason Frudnick/Sophia III: BLASTER MASTER not MASTER BLASTER... anyways, just an utterly perfect character.

[@1mariomaniac]

There's also another change I noticed with Luigi, he gets up to speed and slows down a bit worse than Mario. This kinda falls in line with how he controlled in SMB2-Japan, just dialed back a little to actually make him playable. Edit: Also I kinda wish they used the Zelda 2 version of Link for this, would've made more sense imo.

[@HaveYouTriedGuillotines]

So, a funny thing about Luigi: His higher jump is a throwback to Super Mario Brothers 2 in the US, which was an improved version of Doki Doki Panic. Luigi in that was a reskinned character who had a higher jump than the other 3 playable characters, as well as more slippery movement. The thing about this is that Doki Doki Panic/Mario 2 is a more vertical platformer than most Mario games. His differences worked very well in their original context, but they start to be a huge disadvantage in games where there are a lot of precise sequential jumps like Mario 1.

[@HaveYouTriedGuillotines]

Also, I think Link is basically just functioning like he does in the side scrolling sections of Link's Awakening. Which is... Actually really cool, and it's nice to see it works as well in Mario as it did there. I also suspect Bullet Bills being invincible is a nod to the cannon balls from Link to the Past.

[@DisplayThisOkay]

Luigi's higher jump was from Super Mario Bros 2 aka the Lost Levels. He jumped higher but was slipperier.
