In Mario 2, why would I want to choose anyone other than Peach?
In Mario 2, why would I want to choose anyone other than Peach?
Just a random (almost 35 years too late) question because I've been replaying SMB2 on the Switch.
It seems like she's just objectively better in every way. I don't get why I would pick the others.

The reason to has actually been removed.
In the US version of Mario 2, all you have to do is make it to the end with any character to win. In the Japanese Doki Doki Panic on which it is based, you actually need to get to the end with all 4 characters before you've beaten the game.
The different characters do have strengths and weaknesses: differences in run speed, item pickup speed, and jump mechanics (and Toad actually runs faster when he's holding an item) but you are correct in that for purposes simply amounting to no more than getting through each level to the end, using Peach/Toadstool is the easiest.
Oh man, this would have been brutal and fun!
I think you could recreate that experience a bit of you go after the retroachevments for the game (e.g. fan made achievements enforced via emulator). I think they require you beat the game 5 times, one for each character and once with a split group. Also, no damage runs and such. Difficult stuff.
e.g. means 'for example.' I think you were looking for i.e. (which means 'in other words' or 'to be specific').
I think of them as "example given" and "in essence" which is close enough to remind me which to use.
I think it was Famicom disk system so you could save your game?
Doki doki panic is a great game and you should play it. Feels nostalgic, even if you've only ever played super Mario Bros 2.
I assume I'll need to locate a rom?
Wait, I have a famicom. I bet I could find a cartridge.
The Steven He Asian difficulty is real?
