Cullination Royalty: Luigi Part 2

WELCOME TO PART 2 OF CULLINATION ROYALTY OF LUIGI!

Part 2: Why should you love him?

The real question here is why should people NOT love Luigi?  He is the taller and quirkier version of Mario.  

 

Luigi starred in his own game in 2001 called Luigi's Mansion.  The game got high reviews from different critics including Game Informer giving it a 9 out of 10 and Nintendo Power giving it a score of 4 out of 5.  The success of Luigi's Mansion led to a soon to be released Luigi's Mansion 2.  In addition to that, the game has been a stage in others games such as Mario Kart: Double Dash, Mario Kart 7, Mario Power Tennis, Mario Kart DS, Mario Hoops 3-on-3, Mario Super Sluggers, Mario Sports Mix, and Super Smash Bros. Brawl.

Luigi has been by his brother's side in a few games too like all three of the Mario & Luigi series for handheld consoles, all of which are very popular games and some of my personal favorites.  

Luigi isn't just popular with fans, but also with the ladies.  Luigi has a love interest with Princess Daisy, the princess of Sarasaland.


If you ask me, I like Daisy a lot better than I do Peach.  Peach seems like a whiny, rich, blonde girl that seeks attention.  Surely someone who gets kidnapped as much as she does seeks attention.  And, she must be so annoying to Mario that Peach wasn't even his first choice.  It was Pauline (from the original Donkey Kong games).  Peach probably (being the annoying girl she is) annoyed Mario so much, he finally caved.  Plus I really believe Mario just uses her for her looks.  If he didn't, why would he go to six other worlds to avoid her? Wouldn't he just go to the last world?  Daisy on the other hand, is kind-hearted.  Luigi, in my opinion, got the better end of the deal than his brother Mario, did.  

Therefore, why wouldn't anyone not love Luigi?  He is a lot more entertaining than his brother.  Though he gets scared easier than Mario does, it's all part of being entertaining because Mario is too boring of a character.  Mario can stomp all the Goombas he wants, collect all the 1 up's he can get, beat Bowser more times than he can count, but he will never be better than Luigi.
