Originally a carpenter named Jumpman, this Italian plumber has gone on to become the most recognizable video game character of them all, starring in a veritable pantheon of titles like kart racing and sports. He has been voiced by Charles Martinet for nearly 20 years.
I find that "it's-a-me, Mario" a little annoying. It's not so bad in and of itself, but it is just overdone. I enjoy Luigi but I believe that he gets a hard rep, and Nintendo don't give him enough cool stuff too do. Thankfully, Im glad they've pulled him out for Luigi's Mansion 2. If it's as good as the original game, should be fun. But again, he's playing on a stereotype that he's a far weaker and less intimidating character than Mario. But I guess it's better than what they do with Peach - putting her into Super Princess Peach (while a fun game in it's own right) just shows you how far behind they are. They need strong women, and only Samus can do that, and what's this - they need American studios to craft games for her.... Sorry to go off tangent - but seriously, are you expecting a proper discussion in this topic in this particular forum?
For me...no contest: Luigi. He is a much more interesting character. I mean, unlike Mario, he's actually a somewhat fleshed-out character with multiple personality aspects, unlike Mario...
