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

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.

That's always been my feeling too. I think Mario can run faster, and Luigi can jump a little higher, but Peach just controls better. Who knows what kind of maniac would choose Toad.

Toad can dig / lift the fastest, and gets a huge run speed boost when carrying enemies, making him the speed runnerโ€™s choice in many levels.
