Still nope. Luigi has never tried to 1-up Mario in any way, unless you count parties and sports spin-offs. If anything, he wants to be on the same level of recognition as his bro since he feels he's always in his shadow, but Mario truly means the world to Luigi, and he looks up to him. :P

I get the idea you're trying to get at, though. If anything, I'd say green younger brothers who are more beloved by fans than their older brothers?
