The Characters Have so Much Personality
The developers over at Next Level Games have really done a bang-up job at giving Luigi, Mario, Peach, Toad, and all of the other characters shining personalities, even without much voice acting.
Luigi’s interactions with the other character really shine in this game and you can tell that the team puts so much work into making Luigi more than just a timid sidekick.
There are several laugh-out-loud moments involving Luigi and Gooigi and just wait until you see Luigi’s interactions with Mario once he finds him towards the end of the game –it’s one of the best moments in Mario & Luigi history if you ask me.
It’s a shame that Nintendo doesn’t push these characters’ personalities in the mainline first-party titles, but it’s honestly refreshing to see Luigi take the spotlight again after being away for several years.
Now, I just really want to see a Next Level-developed game starring Princess Peach or something — it’d be awesome.
