Also remember the star in the wishy place that said something like "I want to be a famous plumber like my brother." Yeah, I remember it, but it was still bothersome that Luigi wasn't a playable character or had him play some type of a role outside of Mario's coming across that wish plant thing and his leading the Parade at the end of the game. It's disturbing how even Peach had a bigger role than Luigi and was actively fighting alongside Mario. Even Toad played more of a role! That entire world, and there's no mention of Luigi at all, aside from an obscure reference to him with the wish thing and the fact that he's the one who's in the official player's manual to explain the game and how he wasn't in this one?
I really do miss the "Mario Bros", and back then I always viewed them as such. They have adventures together, but the more and more time that goes by, the more Luigi gets thrown to the side and get put in the somewhat pointless (well, not really...just party like games) games like Mario Tennis, Mario Kart, Mario Party, etc. Why can't we get another game where it's Mario and Luigi, like in the past?
Even though the Sonic series adds more characters to the franchise, Sega, to my knowledge, hasn't really ditched the other characters either. Like...in Sonic Battle, each character's story seem to help form the ending. Tails, Knuckles, and Amy were still prominent characters in the games that's been around since their debuts into the Sonic series, but not limited to the party games like Luigi seems to be now. Even with the addition of later characters, like say Shadow or Rouge, they're still considered "main" characters and are still treated as such. This is definitely something that Sega has the one-up on compared to Nintendo's Mario franchise, imo, unless Super Mario Galaxies has Luigi in the game for whatever the reason, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was just to take the backseat to Mario again.
Okay...done with my rant. ^^;
