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.
The Steven He Asian difficulty is real?

Peach is a slow runner and it takes her a long time to pick up an object.
Peach is slow as hell. Toad all day baybee
There’s a warp zone you can only reach with Luigi, IIRC (but it’s been a long time). So for one level, at least, he’s better if you want to skip ahead.
TIL this game has warp zones
Playing as Peach in Mario 2 was the OG “Funky Mode.”
Peach was basically my only character ever, but occasionally I would use Toad for the Ice level with all the whales since he could jump between the bees easily.
Because you’re my 5 year old god daughter who always wants to play as “Uwiigi”.
My 1 y/o tries to say “peach” and does the little arm raise when I select her.
The answer is that you wouldn’t. Because she can float. SHE CAN FLOAT.
Luigi can jump really high, so I like playing as Luigi as well.
Peach’s jump is OP. I loved SMB2.
