Top Ten Proofs Luigi Is an Overrated Video Game Character

The Top Ten
1 Some users treat him like he's a god

Luigi just steals Mario's credit. He's the sidekick, not some king or something.

2 He only helps Mario
3 Without Mario, he wouldn't exist

Canonicaly, it's not the case. What I mean is that if we were in the Mario universe, it wouldn't be because of Mario that Luigi exist. The eight Yoshis of Yoshi's Island on the other hand...

Luigi fans hate Mario non stop. But then they relize, without Mario, Luigi wouldn't exist.

He started off as a pallet swap of Mario. No Mario, no Luigi.

Without Super Mario Bros 1 the other/better Marios wouldn't exist. Your point?

4 He is just like Mario

No. Their personalities are different.

That's actually false

5 He is afraid of ghosts

Thank you for remembering me why Luigi is better than Mario. Mario is a Gary Stu while Luigi actually have flaws that make you proud of him when he do something like overcoming his fear.

This is why I can't take Luigi seriously. He's afraid of ghosts that aren't even scary.

Then why is Luigi's main franchise a Ghostbusters spoof?

Ghosts aren't even scary.

6 He is kind of a coward

Well he is still very useful in some situations.

Not anymore till the year of Luigi

Not a reason to why he is overrated

He's still a coward...

7 He has very few games other than Luigi's Mansion that he stars in.

Isn't that a proof that he is underrated, actually?!

How does that make him overrated?

8 In some games he is there for comic relief

Well, comic reliefs can be cool, Luigi is a good comics relief when he is one.

9 He is more well liked than Mario, the star of the franchise

With the exception of Wario, which was originally a side character before having its own series, none of the main characters were ever my favorite of a franchise. The side characters of the games are often way more interesting. Name a series, and I will tell at least two characters that I like more than the star.

Mario isn't entitled to be the most popular character just because he happens to be the most promoted character.

Well he has more personality so there's that. Altho this is one of the few valid points here

10 You have to ridiculously rescue him in Mario Galaxy 1

You also save yourself as Luigi. What does that mean?

What does that have to do with him being overrated?

The Contenders
11 He is a douchebag in Mario Kart 8
12 Luigi fanboys always bash on Mario just because Mario "treats" him badly

Sometime it's true that Luigi fans are like this. However, yes the Daisy fan base is worst. After all, they are the guys who thinks a girl is good just because she acts like a boy, and even then say she is tomboy just because nintendo said it so, even though she seems really happy to wear a dress. It's also the guys who likes a character that likes sports like most characters in her series, say that Wario wouldn't exist without her, even though they don't seem to care about Tatanga, a character which we could praise the exact same thing, and say that at least she was captured less often then Peach, even though the only reason she was captured more often is because we wanted to capture her more often which just means people find Peach more interesting. As for me, I was captured zero time. Does that mean I'm better than Daisy?

In case you didn't know, I don't like Daisy.

At least Luigi fans died down in recent years. Right now the Daisy fans are having Problems

His fans are crazy but nicer than Daisy fans

Daisy's worse

13 Most of his fans take Game Theory's "Mario is Mental" video as fact

Mat Pat made a theory that because of Mr. L is the result of Luigi being hypnotize, and that you can't be hypnotize to do something you don't want to, that means Luigi is secretly evil. Why do Mat Pat's fans still like Luigi then? However, both videos are pretty bad honestly, so don't trust Mat Pat in those videos at least.

Which is stupid because they're all just little kids who aren't smart enough to think that it's just a theory. Oh and MatPat makes the problem worse.

This video is a THEORY! I have to shove this down so many people's throats!

It’s just a theory. Also that video was made years ago and not even MatPat believes it anymore and usually just makes fun of it along with the Sans is Ness and Mario is a Communist theories

14 He's mostly nervous
