Shouldn't there be an option for "Dr. Luigi" as a disambiguation page for both topics? Like, yes Dr. Luigi the character has appeared in things beyond Dr. Luigi the game, but giving one subject more primary than the other when it's two corners of Mario is weird. There are people who would recognize Donkey Kong but not ''Donkey Kong'', but I feel like for Dr. Luigi both things with the name are equivalent.

Unlike the other Doctor characters from Dr. Mario World, Dr. Luigi has his own game and appearance that is different enough from Dr. Mario. Additionally, he can use L-shaped pills that are specifically used by him. Also, he's a recurring character unlike the other 'Doctors'.
