In Mario 2, why would I want to choose anyone other than Peach? - eviltoast

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.

      I feel like the version we had definitely had its name printed as Birdo and not Ostro. I have always called that thing Birdo.
