    Yup, they have their part to play in the Bread and Circus. Incidentally, Super Mario Brothers is a great game. Many like to play Mario, but the role of Luigi is often overlooked.

      Luigi could jump the highest of all the playable characters in Super Mario Bros 2. He was always my go-to character for this reason. Those egg flinging dinosaur fucks be damned!

        I don’t know about you, but hypothetically if I were to want to play Luigi right now… green pipes don’t just lead you to the castle anymore, they’re empty! and the Koopas are laying low. Playing Luigi is strategic, you just need the player to recognize when it’s time to play him.

          Right. Luigi jumps high. No point in playing Luigi if jumping high doesn’t actually net anything. Gotta play Luigi when the extra jump height gets progress.
