In Mario 2, why would I want to choose anyone other than Peach? (self.retrogaming)

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.

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.

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.

I think it was Famicom disk system so you could save your game?
