    I feel like those games do that because they want you to root for him as the underdog. There are a couple of times where the games go out of their way to point out that the way he is treated is unfair. At least that's how I always saw it as a kid, it made me like him more. Precious woobie green man.

    The ending of Partners in Time where all the toads go out of their way to thank Luigi is pretty wholesome.

    Sorry I'm a huge nerd for the Mario & Luigi games lol.

      The Mario and Luigi games are great and mire rpg games should aim for Saturday morning cartoon instead of anime. Luigi is such a lovable guy in those games!

        Tbf Mario and Luigi is like an anime-Saturday morning cartoon synthesis where you can have cool power up scenes and dramatic emotional fights but also slapstick humor and silly cartoon hammers being used to slap cartoon animals into the sun
