Talk:Luigi VS Knuckles the Echidna/@comment-26184007-20170812084954/@comment-32617116-20170812140440

In their defense, the White Tanooki/Racoon Leaf is available in the DLC courses for NSMB2 right away as if Mario/Luigi have it on hand. There's nothing to really say the DLC is non-canon either considering Mario doesn't really have a canon. A White Tanooki/Racoon Leaf could also be brought in to the battle with prep time as well, and considering Knuckles has the Emeralds in those fights (Er, at least Digilord 64's fight, maybe not PaleoMario's) I think Knuckles has some prep himself.
