What is the fastest Mario game?

The fastest Mario game is generally considered to be the original Super Mario Bros. (NES), with world records in the "Any%" category (beating the game as fast as possible) hovering around 4 minutes and 54 seconds, achieved by exploiting glitches like the "Minus World" and "Lightning 4-2".

Why is Luigi not in Mario 64?

Luigi isn't in the original Super Mario 64 primarily due to Nintendo 64 memory limitations, which couldn't handle a second character for split-screen co-op or even as an NPC, forcing developers to cut him late in development around February 1996, despite earlier plans for him in a Mario Bros. mini-game, which was also dropped because most N64s came with only one controller.
