luigi


Does anyone else get annoyed at luigi freakesh style of jumping? it makes it more difficult being him when you fight the villain on the first level and you have to jump and land on his oval shape...things?

reply

I get annoyed by it too. He sucks at jumping in this Mario game.

What? He's the farthest jumper in the game!!!

He loses alot of height if he's carrying an item though, but overall he's still the best jumper.

But if you mean control-wise, yes, he's hard to maneuver.

I played through the game a few days ago, I accidentally triggered a warp zone in World 5, and warped to World 7, so at the end on the "Contributor" screen it had an 18 for Luigi and a 0 for everyone else!

One time I used one character per level. I'd use Mario on 1-1, Luigi on 1-2, Toad on 1-3 (or the Princess, whoever's next in line), and go like that all through the game. I ended up with exactly the same # for all four characters on the contributor screen, heheh.

I often duck and jump as Luigi, esp. at Birdo, to compensate for the height and to control him easier.

Oh, those oval shaped things are eggs. And if you want to defeat Birdo with Luigi, stand on top of Birdo's head and time the eggs coming out of her mouth. When an egg comes out, simply walk off of Birdo's head and onto the egg and pick it up to throw it. I know you posted this a long time ago, but I hope this helps.

I don't know, I was really drunk at the time...

In portuguese, sems like "oval" comes from word "ovo", which menas... EGG!!!!!

even though i am a guy i always played as the princess because her flying ability helps you so much more in the levels.

Most of my friends used Luigi exclusively, solely because of his jumping ability, but I like to use all the characters at least once.

I use Luigi in the first stage because it's easy to get through and his restless leg syndrome doesn't bother me too much.
I use Toad during the first desert stage because he's the fastest digger.
I use Mario during the second desert stage because he's the second-fastest digger, and there's a jump late in that stage that only Toad cannot make!
The rest of the time I use The Princess, because of her floating ability.
