Okay, and?

My point was his original color scheme was more true to the one he had before the "overalls and shirt swap" between SMB2 and SMB3.

His SMB1 color scheme shows me that they probably didn't put much care or emphasis on the fact that he was in the game.

More like they hadn't worked out what color palette to use to make him (or Mario) look decent.
Luigi is cooler because he is perceived as neglected, and you will not be able to change that.
Luigi in Mario Galaxy is certainly fanservice, and darn justified fanservice. Why the heck shouldn't Luigi be in the game? He's part of the Mario franchise, right? It's always seemed to me like Mario and Luigi should be equals and I thought it was weird that they left him out of Mario Sunshine. SM64 I can understand because it was enough of a problem to make that game in the first place.
That was a joke.

That's what is stupidest about Luigi. He's overrated "because he's neglected" but because everyone loves him for that reason he is not neglected.

I agree with BirdPerson.

Luigi has a more flawed personality than Mario; that means people can see humor in his scaredy-cat-type-persona, and perhaps even relate to him in times when they have been scared.

Yet, I have a sudden urge to read Jay Resop's "Neglected Mario Characters" comics for the remainder of the day.

Not by the fans, that's for sure.

I thought it was weird that they left him out of Mario Sunshine.
From a technical standpoint, yes, I think they might have been able to stick Luigi in Sunshine somewhere.  The questions are, why would he need to be in it?  What would his role be?  I just think it might be awkward if you're just wanting some time alone with the girl you saved countless times, and all of a sudden, here's your little brother doing who knows what.  The Toads?  Knowing Toadsworth, he might have ordered the Toads to come with him to keep an eye on the Princess.  It's not that he doesn't trust Mario, Toadsworth is like an overprotective father figure.

Most likely a Toad trained to fly one.

Perhaps it flew itself! Maybe it has secret eyes, just like everything else in the Mushroom Kingdom...

I personally like the direction they took Luigi in Brawl. Luigi becoming a crazy dark warlock who does random poses would be cool.

The description of Luigi's Final Smash was both hilarious and slightly disturbing.

Up:  Brawl is making me want to play other Nintendo games.  My want to play Super Mario Sunshine is competing with my want to continue playing Brawl. 

Down:  Luigi's voice sounds too much like Mario in SM64 to me.

What the heck are you talking about? Luigi's voice is totally different here as opposed to the sped-up SM64 voice clips he had in the other games.
Fangirling over Luigi since 1999.
