Mario Vs. Luigi in Super Mario Odyssey<\/h2>\n

Who is Mario?<\/h3>\n

Mario is the main protagonist from the world-famous Super Mario Bros video game series. He fought Sonic the Hedgehog in an episode of One Minute Melee, and two episodes of Death Battle. He also fought his brother Luigi in a episode of DBX.<\/p>\n

History<\/strong>
One of the seven Star children and the brother of Luigi, the two were plumbers in the streets of NYC until one day having an encounter with Princess Peach which her Kingdom was invaded by Bowser. After that event, Mario and Luigi then traveled to this Kingdom to save her from the turtle terror and ever since then, Mario has been going on many adventures, participating in go kart races along with parties and sports, being a doctor treating viruses, traveling through Galaxies and Kingdoms and even competing in the Olympics.<\/p>\n

Personality<\/strong>
Mario is known for being kind, cheerful, playful, courageous, and headstrong. He is eager and cocky in certain occasions, but is willing to put others before himself, being willing to save Peach no matter the cost. He is also shown to be a bit competitive such as in Mario Power Tennis, (he steps on Luigi’s foot) but he is willing to put himself in great danger to protect Peach, Luigi and the other residents of the Mushroom Kingdom.<\/p>\n

Weaknesses<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  • Na\u00efve<\/li>\n
  • Doesn’t strategize that much<\/li>\n
  • Power Ups can be lost if hit with a great amount of force (Except for the Invincibility Star, Metal Cap, Wing Cap, Vanish Cap, Mega Mushroom which have time limits and the Invincibility Leaf which can be lost by Lava or Bottomless Cliff though these are just game mechanics)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Who is Luigi?<\/h3>\n

    Luigi is a character from Nintendo’s Super Mario series. He previously fought Miles “Tails” Prower in an episode of One Minute Melee. He has also fought Tails in an episode of Death Battle, and went against his brother Mario in an episode of DBX. He participated in Thatowldude’s Battle Of The Universes Tournament.<\/p>\n

    History<\/strong><\/p>\n

    One of the seven Star children and the brother of Mario, Luigi often accompanied his sibling on his various journeys, whether as a simple plumber, or saving entire kingdoms and galaxies from the terror of Bowser. More often than not, he’s in the shadow of his red-clad sibling, but he has struck out on adventures of his own. Most notable is his ghost-hunting business after he won a haunted mansion under mysterious circumstances…<\/p>\n

    Most recently, Luigi seems to have taken a break from copying Mario, and has instead become a balloon salesman.<\/p>\n

    Personality<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Luigi tries to be just as brave and heroic as Mario, however, he has a great fear many things, including ghosts and the dark. Over the years, he has tried to separate himself more from Mario by using different techniques and weapons; he also went off solo to hunt for Power Stars when Mario had to otherwise travel across galaxies by himself. He also seems to have a hidden dark side, which briefly shows when he participates in competitive go-kart racing, but despite that he is kind, generous, loving, optimistic, cheery and friendly.<\/p>\n

    Trivia<\/strong><\/p>\n

      \n
    • 2013, the 30th anniversary of Luigi’s first appearance, was deemed by Nintendo as the Year of Luigi<\/li>\n
    • Luigi and Genos are the only characters to appear in all three ScrewAttack-affiliated VS. shows and never come out with an official win<\/li>\n
    • However, Genos also lost an episode of Mini Rumble, which Luigi has yet to appear in<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Mario Vs. Luigi: Who Would Win In A Fight?<\/h4>\n

      At first, Luigi was just another Mario. That is to say, the original Mario Bros. in 1983 was the first Mario game to support two players, and it wouldn’t have made sense for Player 2 to control a second Mario. Therefore, Luigi effectively began as a clone of his slightly older brother.<\/p>\n

      Of course, since then, the most famous siblings in gaming history have become defined just as much by their differences as their similarities. They wear the same outfit, but in different colors. Both brothers jump, but Luigi can jump a little bit higher. Mario, however, virtually always gets to be the hero, sometimes even edging Luigi out of planned appearances completely.<\/p>\n

      That’s just what would make the Super Mario Bros. ideal opponents in one-on-one combat: their nuances. Determining who would win in a fight between Mario and Luigi requires a deep dive into these very subtleties that separate one Italian plumber (well, former Italian Plumber) from another. Declaring a winner, however, first requires outlining just how these\u00a0subtleties would come into play.<\/p>\n

      The power-up question<\/strong>
      Calculating the brute physical strengths of Mario and Luigi relative to one another is a hopeless task. While it may be possible to cite examples of objects with estimable weights in various Mario games and extrapolate the brothers’ quantifiable strengths from there, the examples would quickly become too numerous and variable from instance to instance to declare anything other than that Mario and Luigi are both very strong.<\/p>\n

      Fighting strength, then, depends on power-ups. The most impactful power-up is arguably the fire flower (excluding the star because the brothers agreed beforehand that wouldn’t make for a fun fight). However, both Mario and Luigi are capable of fireball-slinging, nullifying its role as a differentiator. That said, one brother obtaining a fire flower before the other would be enough to tip the scales, thus redefining the terms of the match as not who can immediately overpower whom but who can power up first.<\/p>\n

      The winner of what would only be the second-most contentious fight between brothers in pop culture history would therefore be the Mario Bro. who can run, jump, and bonk into a Question Block before the other has a chance to do the same.<\/p>\n

      The better brother<\/strong>
      Though strength is a non-factor, size remains very much in play. An article on MuayThaiPros.com about this very topic explains that in a fight, the smaller and likely more skilled combatant gains more of an advantage the longer the fight goes on, meaning that the larger fighter has to secure their win quickly for their size to play a role (e.g. knock the smaller fighter out before they can score a bunch of points).<\/p>\n

      Therefore Luigi has the edge over his superstar sibling. Running into a Question Block is not a feat of endurance but a single, straightforward task. While the brothers may match one another in raw power, Luigi’s mass is ultimately going to secure him a Question Block’s bounty first.<\/p>\n

      In what has now become a battle of green fireballs vs. no fireballs, the winner is clear: us, the viewers, who get to witness the two most famous mushroom-loving, pipe-warping adventurers in world history give it everything they’ve got.<\/p>\n
